you've really outdone yourself with this one. 0:57 and 1:06 in particular are such interesting takes on the lyrics; 0:57 linking 'i'm your brother' to utena's pulling the sword out of anthy (using her as the sheathe, essentially, as akio does) is already genius, and then 1:06 building on that by instead offering anthy as the malicious prince figure through her role in utena's manipulation is just SO good. and on a purely editing level, 2:32 is fucking insane. i can't think of any other utena amv editor who could have executed this particular song and concept as well as you do, i'm thrilled this exists
THANK YOU!!!!! yeah i really enjoyed making this one. wanted to linger on certain images without slowing the pace down. utena & anthy as symbolic siblings is largely inspired by analysis at satirist.org (satirist.org/essays/utena/celestial-bodies.html#gemini)
