"You really don’t know what happened, do you? It doesn’t matter. By all means, stay in this cozy coffin of yours and continue to play prince." -Anthy Himemiya to Akio Ohtori, Revolutionary Girl Ute…
A bit on the endings of Ikuhara’s three major series: Revolutionary Girl Utena, Mawaru Penguindrum, and now Yuri Kuma Arashi. Enjoy. ^ ^
I need to mentally prepare myself for the final episode of lesbian bears
Life Beauty made the comment about Ginko being just like The Little Mermaid, which struck me as obvious symbolism, but by the end of the episode it became apparent to me that it wasn’t Ginko who was like the mermaid, it was Lulu
think about it, she’s a princess who gave up something important to her (kisses- mirroring the mermaid’s voice) to be with her prince (Ginko has an obvious royalty motif) in an unfamiliar world. Her prince fell in love with someone else, and even though she had the chance to let the prince die and return to the world she came from (the mermaid was given a dagger and instructed to stab the prince and she’d be a mermaid again), she decided to sacrifice herself to let her prince remain happy, because she loved her
role reversal, student council president nanami and her adoring brother touga
I prefer a bittersweet ending rather than a happy one, mostly because I don't like GinkoxSumika
Ah, I think you meant GinkoXKureha? Either way, considering the director’s past history with happy endings…
…I think you have a high chance of getting what you want ^^
Ikuhara: So, what kind of anime do you want my next work to be?
Me: just fuck me up
We’re almost at the end of Yuri Kuma Arashi, and I have a lot of thoughts. I’m not ready to cast my final verdict on the show as a whole just yet, but I’ve been thinking about what might happen next week and here’s what I don’t want from the final episode: I don’t want Kureha to become a bear or for Ginko to become human. The way I see it, in the universe of YKA girls basically have to options, being a bear or being a(n invisible) girl. Both of these are very restricting roles. If Kureha becomes a bear or Ginko becomes a human, they will just end up switching one box for another. It won’t really solve anything. After all Kureha was already being excluded by her classmates for her relationship with Sumika, and they were both humans. And what little we have seen of the bear world doesn’t suggest that it’d be any more accepting. For one girl to give up her true form for the other won’t bring them the happiness they wish for. In ep 11 Life Beauty compares Ginko to the Little Mermaid. The Mermaid gives up her voice to meet the prince, just like Ginko gives up Kureha’s love for the chance to meet her again. There’s also the fact that when she does meet Kureha again, Kureha already has Sumika, which is also similar to the Mermaid’s story. The Mermaid’s love is ultimately unfulfilled, and I think her end includes an important lesson for Ginko and Kureha. The Mermaid was also someone who wouldn’t back down on her love, but because she gave up her voice to meet the prince, she was never able to tell him that she was the one who saved him or even that she loved him. Her love was unfulfilled because she gave up her true form. I think Reia has the right idea about all this. For Ginko and Kureha to achieve the destiny promised to them they have to smash the world’s shell leave behind the human and bear world and accept each other as they are, as bear and human. Going against social expectation is hard and scary, especially when you are young. But for the two of them to be happy together, that’s probably what they’ll have to do. Fortunately, the stinger to this weeks episode has eased my worries a bit. When we saw Kureha at trial in last weeks episode I was worried that it might mean that Kureha was choosing to become a bear. But in this episode she is asked if she will admit to her crime and she looks at the Judgement bears with a defiant expression. I hope that means that Kureha will challenge their authority in someway. Because seriously what right does anyone have, emissaries of a Bear Goddess or not, to challenge anyone’s love? Why should these girls have to prove to outsiders that their love is “real”? The trials aren’t any better than the Invisible Storm exclusion ceremonies, and Kureha and Ginko will have to overcome both of them if they’re going to get their happy ending.
