CARTOON NETWORK - revolutionary girl utena amv

if you think finding some snails in a pencilbox is disillusioning, you've seen nothing yet. small something on absurdism and agony, a la nanami. flashing light warnings from 0:37 to 0:41 and 2:16 to 2:21!! started 30/06/23, finished 06/07/23.
song is CARTOON NETWORK by black dresses.
lyrics
programming like this
is made possible
by viewers like you!
every day, every day, i'm so fucking freaked out
every day, every day, i can't get the evil out
every night i feel so far away
someday, someday
will it ever be okay?
every day, it's a brand new episode
every day, i guess we'll see just how far it goes
every day, it seems like no one sees and no one knows
every day, i kinda wanna cancel the show
most days i just feel like i'm making it up
(call off the show)
i pray to god that i'm just making it up
(i don't wanna go to the show!)
i wish this was just a cartoon so i could be like
"this is real as fuck, i love the way they don't give up!"
tweet about it, "more stories like this, so important!"
but it really happened
oh god, it really happened!
so, uh, i have this idea for like, a cartoon or something...
uh-huh.
and, it's like... there's these fucked up kids...
uh-huh.
and like, through the power of uh...
understanding!
yeah! it could totally be like, understanding, or like, forgiveness or something...
uh-huh.
they like, overcome all their fears, and in the end, they turn out to be like, fine...
aaaaaghhhhh!
what the fuck!
(what the... uhhhhhhhh
i wanna do that again, yeah)
every day, it's another new episode
every day, slice a bit more meat off the bone
i can feel the evil in me
i'm such a faker really
(meat off the bones...)
crisis line, all agents busy
i feel so guilty
(meat off the...)
what the fuck?!
what the fuck?!
what the fuck?!
what the fuck?!
what the fuck?

the "i have an idea for a show" part goes sooooo hard my god. "they overcome all their fears" punctuated by akio coming into frame. nanami kiryuu...................................................

[@marsbar6225]

this is a perfect reading of nanami being a comedic relief character on the surface (and people often misinterpreting her as just that) when shes the EMBODIMENT of the main themes of rgu

[@heartslobbf]

thank you!!!!

[@polednice5653]

nanami's life truly is a tragicomedy.....

[@heartslobbf]

and if that isnt the most agonising thing to watch!! ty for commenting, much appreciated :)

[@magg7107]

overall absolutely incredible... The last minute or so is particularly astounding. The part w her last duel ofc, THE SHAVED ICE...the parallels in eps 4 and 31 with it. Anthy w the ice saw and touga in the cow dream.... the contrast between the photo album and anthy on the couch.... and ofc the last shots w the car scene right before the childhood kiss memory. Im sososo normal abt all of this. All in all, incredible amv I've watched it like 10 times now

[@heartslobbf]
