Where I watch Revolutionary Girl Utena, Episode 32

[cypsiman2]

Touga...seriously, what the fuck is WRONG WITH YOU??? What kind of fucked up asshole lets his little sister, who loves, worships and adores him, lets her think that they're not related even though they are, just because they think that would be more interesting? And Akio, don't think you're getting off easy on all this either, you know exactly what Touga's been doing all this time, and you did nothing to stop him, so you're just as guilty as he is.

Seriously though, poor Nanami; where is she going to go now? Where can she possibly belong? And I don't imagine that her three cronies will be following her around anymore, not after that beating she gave them...seriously, goddamn.

Tricking her is cruel, sure, but taking her for (ahem) a ride in the Akio car? Dramatic irony tastes like karma.

Oh, what Touga did went way beyond tricking her. That was abuse, emotional abuse, plain and simple. And yeah, taking her in the Akio car doesn't help any. At all.

Also, can I just say how awesomely creepy Anthy is with that ice-saw? "Domo domo..." <shiver>

(Hooray for handy scripts to remind me of all the details.)

Psychokinesis! Maximum power!

I loathe Touga for what he did to Nanami in these eps. I didn't like him before, but he was so unrepentantly manipulative here I wanted to punch him in the face.

But, it doesn't compare to Akio's horribleness. Touga is really just an wannabe when you get down to it.

And again, he did it all for shits and giggles! I'd like to grab his arm, smack him around with it, and say 'stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself!'.

That's not a good thing at all. About either of them.

These episodes make me want to give Nanami a hug.

Now I find myself thinking about how Tsuwabuki wants to be Nanami's big brother, and I say to myself, 'not a particularly lofty goal, kid.'

[koi-no-soshan.livejournal.com]

True! But hey, at least he'd do better than Touga.

Given how shippy these two can get (he pulled a sword out of her chest, enough said), it's...an interesting goal.

Hey, I'm just going off what Tsuwabuki said. And this show definitely does like to blur the lines between the familial, the platonic, and the romantic, leaving nearly everyone decidedly unsatisfied and confused.

Which makes for great drama, so hey!
