Covers all the short stories in Revolutionary Girl Utena: After the Revolution by Chiho SaitoFor the 20th anniversary of Revolutionary Girl Utena, we were gifted this volume of short stories (one for Touga and Saionji, another for Juri and Shiori, the final for Miki and Kozue) that function as a "sequel" of sorts to the Utena anime (not the manga). Anime scholar Rose Bridges comes back on the Shojo & Tell to talk about Utena without Utena (sort of?). Rose and Ashley debate which story of the three is the strongest, what it means for there to have been a revolution if the characters haven't really changed, and why the heck Nanami keeps getting so slighted.REFERENCESUtena: After the Revolution is available from Viz MediaYou can read Rose's review of the manga on Anime News Network herePick up a copy of Rose's book about the music of Cowboy BebopRose has an article coming out in MechademiaOhtori.nu is a great Utena resourceReferences:Legend of Galactic HeroesSarazanmaiOutro song: "The Streatham Hill Gods" by DanosongsCONTACT USFollow Rose on Twitter @composeroseFollow the podcast on Twitter, Instagram, or TumblrFollow Ashley on Twitter @AshMcD00If you have any comments or questions, you can email shojoandtell@gmail.com
