Revolutionary Girl Utena Episode 5: "The Sunlit Garden -Finale-"

Hello again everybody!
...not sure what to put so I guess that's it for this post XD


Anthy and Mickey talk in the garden.

~story~

The first part of this episode was somewhat slow (yet nowhere near as slow as last episode's). If you couldn't tell by the title, this was part 2 to Mickey's little storyline. Forget about the storyline - the highlight of this episode was that Mickey's sister had some hardcore sex with Touga. She comes running out of the piano room in such a rush she bumps into Mickey and he's all like "if you don't play the piano why are you in the piano room?" and she's all like "you can do more than just play the piano in the piano room" or some crap like that and then Mickey enters the room and Touga is standing there with his shirt wide open and his chest exposed and his legs spread apart so his crotch is the focus of your attention and Mickey just looks mortified and you as the viewer is just left there like "OMG Mickey's sister is more of a whore than Nanami is!" *takes deep breath* Then there was this scene of Mickey having some sort of flashback or something of Touga giving him encouragement or something and he's on this pink, lacy bed with his shirt practically off in all these sexual positions so you think that he either wants to have sex with Mickey or he already did have sex with Mickey or I don't even know what to think. It was just awkward as hell and I did not need to witness that. Anyways, in the plot of this episode Mickey's past was revealed (and while it was trying to be all dramatic it wasn't) and Utena beat him in the duel. Yeah. Both predictions from yesterday came true. And that's really all that happened in this episode.


Mickey reveals his past.

The spinning rose at the most climatic point of the duel made a return to this episode. It really erases all intensity that was built and ruins the whole duel. The art style used to show Mickey's past was definitely a highlight of this episode. I absolutely love when they silhouette out the skin. It really is a nice effect and it was done very nicely here. Good job Utena's artists!

~sound~

The two crappy insert songs returned which was a downer and that piano song that Mickey plays was played throughout basically the whole episode again. But on a bright side there was a pretty new background track that played while Mickey creeped on Anthy while she was watering some flowers. :'D


Mickey challenges Utena to a duel.

~character~

The shadow people were even more annoying than usual today. Mickey's sister is a slut. Touga is a manwhore. Mickey is going kinda crazy for Anthy. So we have this super complicated love situation. Jury apparently likes Mickey who secretly loves Anthy who is forced to love Utena who doesn't love any of these crazy people. 


Utena -vs- Mickey

~overall~

This episode receives a B. The whole awkwardness of the random orgy took place was just too much. No more of that please. If I wanted sex there is a completely different type of anime that I would watch.

~prediction diary~

-Next episode is (yet again) a filler
-Nanami is going to plant some animals to attack her to stage Anthy so everybody hates Anthy

See you next time~
