Revolutionary Girl #Utena production art by concept designer Hiroshi Nagahama, who worked at Madhouse as a designer before freelancing his way into Utena. <3
Early concept art for the duel arena and inverted castle, courtesy of the 2017/2018 #Utena exhibition's program! They ultimately went with something more literal, but I kinda dig the more chandelier-like castles, and it's amazing to think the aesthetic could have been *trippier.*
Touga, Saionji, Juri, and Nanami, drawn by a great friend and local talented as all hell artist, Maggie Murray. (https://t.co/2AeCsaLPgV) She designed a Homodachis logo that will soon be on a t-shirt because I want it on one, so stay tuned for that. <3
Background concept art from the Hardcore of #Utena artbook offers some interesting insights into how the arena entrance 'works', what other ideas existed for the castle, and are just all around bloody cool.
Gorgeous exclusive artwork from the 2017 Japanese 20th Anniversary Blu-ray release of #Utena.
Happy Birthday to the one and only pink haired heroine that matters, Tenjou #Utena!!
The hardest gift to give is faith in those you love, and the hardest present to unwrap is one that contains the self-worth they already know you deserve. #Utena was no Prince. She was more than that. She was someone that cared, and the hardest thing Anthy ever did was let her. 🌹
Literally the day after Anthy leaves Akio's miserable ass. Happy Liberation Day, #Utena fans!
Kozue and Miki drink their milkshakes out of cups with K and M on them. During her duel, the arena is filled with Miki's cups specifically, which get drained during the battle.

The difference between Anthy commenting on how poorly her body performs in sports and Akio being able to vault over a car hood is...chronic, crippling pain...regardless of the *kind* of pain it is. :(
