Revolutionary Girl Utena is one of my favorite anime series. The characters are great and the story is really powerful. It has drama that will bring you to tears, comedy that will bring you more tears, and action together with really cool music that won’t let you relax. I always thought Utena would make a great rock musical. If someone on Broadway picked it up, I would without a doubt book a flight to New York, just to go and see it.

Yesterday I found out that someone had made a live action (what anime fans call things that are not animated) musical of it, starring only girls. I found a 20 minute clip which basically retells the story of the first episode of the anime series. They don’t have much of a budget, the actors could be better, and the quality of the recording is awful, but still, I really want to see the whole thing. If someone has it or more info about it, other than what can be found on the wikipedia page, please tell me!

Some images from the clip:

In conversations with family members, many potential witnesses claimed to have been in the pub’s toilets at the time of the attacks; this led to the toilets being dubbed as the TARDIS, after the time machine in the television series Doctor Who which is much bigger on the inside than on the outside.

I mentioned on irc today that I liked Canadians because they gave me Lexx and Charlie Jade. Then I had to explain who Charlie Jade was. I didn’t think of him as a nerd, but now I know.

<Jooon> I love canada. canadians gave me lexx and charlie jade
<boblet> I don’t know who charlie jade is
<boblet> is she both hot and single?
<Jooon> well, he is a bit steamy when it rains, so yeah, he is hot
<Jooon> he has a girlfriend though, in a parallell universe
<boblet> oh, like most nerds jooon

Here is a picture of him by the way.
