Just concluded my rewatch of Utena. Yep, the last three episodes are still bite-sized chunks of heart-wrenching *pain*, for all that I've seen them before. *whistles* Most shows never manage to be that intense even with hour-long episodes. Ikuhara, you magnificent bastard. My hat's off to you.

Note to self - watching those 'from the inside' was certainly an experience. I still can't decide whether that was a good idea or a bad one.
