Oh, that’s really neat! I’m paranoid about spoilers so I’m not gonna go watch until I’ve finished the series, but I encourage other Revue/Utena folks to go check them out, they sound great!
And damn, that’s some stamina on Nana’s part. I’m amazed she hasn’t gotten tired of the whole thing....
Yeah, my assumption was that because she requested that past stage particularly, she kind of broke the eternity clause? But also I have this creeping feeling that the giraffe doesn’t know as much about what’s going on as he claims he does, so....
Haaaaahahaha if it was hard to keep quiet with my mentioning time loops, imagine how much worse it would have been if I’d actually said so every time I had that thought! (I kept telling myself to tone it down bc I thought I was being too influenced by Madoka....)
Oooooh, I like that thought! If it really has been sixty years, no wonder she might get a little sloppy eventually-- at least, enough for a canny wish-granter to worm in a loophole....
omfg I love that. Frogs hoppin’ back a year....
I love her phone case! I always thought it looked like a chocolate-dipped banana haha. And yeah, bananaraffe, after the ep some people on discord were telling me that it was a common fan theory as this was airing that Nana was the giraffe in humanoid form, with that as part of the evidence....
“wasn’t *entirely* wrong” hahaha I wasn’t wrong ;) Connections go in many directions, and a connection isn’t a “rip-off”! I love it when stories touch on similar concepts, because it’s so neat to see how differently they can be handled. And I’ve heard of Kamen Rider, but haven’t seen it! I should get around to that some time....
Yes, I know! Fun (tangentially related) fact, when I was blogging the manga I kept fighting with myself about whether to arrange my screenshots to be read left to right (like I do with anime caps) or right to left (like the manga itself)... I think I ended up with some posts of each xD;;
And, as you’re implying: yes! Nana facing ‘backwards’, wanting to return to the past, is awesomely done~
Yeah, I know image colours are different from outfit colours, I just thought the outfits would be a good hint, bc many of them are the image colours. And... my screener let these by because I already figured it out, but please don’t answer questions for meeeee. I appreciate you trying to help and share! But I would much rather be left a little at sea so I can figure stuff out on my own <3
