Customer Reviews of Revolutionary Girl Utena - Impatience and Longing (Vol. 4)
More of the greatest, and more of the world This volume of Shoujo Kakumei Utena explores the backgrounds of two of the very-much-supporting (even third-tier) characters of Mitsuru -- Nanami's worshipper -- and Wakaba -- Utena's best friend. The Black Rose strikes again, tempting these two characters with the lure of creating a world in which their deepest desires come to life.
Wakaba's two-episode arc is one of the highlights of the series. Her struggles as the "best friend of the heroine" is heart-tuggingly tragic, as Wakaba seems to know instinctively that she is not the main character in this or any other story. However, for two episodes, the focus is taken off Utena and the duels and put onto this lone, normal girl, adrift in the miasma of Ohtori Academy. Everything is thrown into a different light when you start to wonder just why the duels, the Rose Bride, and Utena seem to affect every aspect of life at Ohtori Academy.
The Black Rose saga
ok to sum it up in two words if possible: completely mind-blowing. and of course i mean the entire black rose arc, not just these episodes. a lot have mention that the black rose arc is the most predictable and the weakest of the Utena story arcs. As a stand alone, it is predictable and formulaic but the twist at the end of Mikage's duel will leave you speechless or like me mind-[twisted]. But looking at this arc in terms of the greater context of the series, it is the most essential arc as it provides a mirror to how the rest of the series will unravel with a twist. i won't spoil it for the rest who haven't seen it but it's definitely worth watching Utena in its entirety.
as far as this DVD is concern, the Wakaba-centered episodes were my favorite.
The middle of Utena
In this DVD, we reach the middle of the complete Utena storyline and the middle of the Black Rose Saga. There are three episodes on this DVD which are mostly very impressive.
*18- This is about Nanami's follower Mitsuru and when he finally realizes Nanami mistreats him. SO he is drawn to duel. I don't care for most Nanami episodes but the animation in this episodes is gorgeous.
*19- This episode has not as great animation, but the storyline is pretty good and gives us an insight ito Wakaba's past.
*20- This is one of my personal favorites. Wakaba is hiding Saionji but when Saionji is accepted back into school, he will forget all about her, which drives Wakaba to duel him.
