As I said before, I know not "ALL" men are like that.. But subconsciously, no matter how hard I try, I know deep inside.. I cannot help but think they.. Never mind, I might start a flame here..

Anyway, some of my childhood experiences:

Yep, Utena is a GENIUS work of art! n_n

@ Steph
It's my personal belief that anyone who's had a strained, or even non-existent, relationship with their parent of the opposite sex is going to have some slight issues when it comes to the opposite sex as a whole. Our parents are our first role models; our initial perception of how people in general are probably has a lot to do with our earliest bonds with them. I think it's a very deep seated thing that most people can't just shrug off, even if part of us knows we should. Learning to trust men when you have had nothing but negative experiences with them is not going to be easy, likewise if you're a guy and have never had any positive female figures in your life. But I think the more positive encounters you have with men in your life, and it sounds from your previous posts that you have had several, the more you'll probably be able to tackle your problems with them. I've been in this boat to some extent myself, though for far more trivial reasons, and having made friends and formed close relationships with lots of guys has really changed the way I feel. For the most part, it's something I have completely overcome.
But I think your attitude to your life is incredibly positive, and I think it's something you could change if you want to, probably without anyone else's help. Just my two pennies worth, anyway. ^^

Well now I understand your situation. Looks like I'll be calling again. Wait for me....

Stephanie · 2007-10-06, 12:55

@Sarah
Never thought about it that way.. About parents, yeah I do know that, but didn't imply it to myself.. Actually, there's more that happened.. Well, for one last time jot them down, I feel like I'm circulating the conversation to myself..

Spoiler for Just to finish:

Anyway, too much of that.. I just wanted to finish what I started.. =P

@Soul
Cool.. I accessed your page, but didn't know how to play or become part of it..

@EVERYONE
Sorry for bumping this but..

Since we all are waiting for MariMite's next season, why not try this:

Spoiler for Samples:

@Internal
If you meant me differing men and women in the anime samples I gave, no.. Look at this meanings:

Animes have different 'demographics' or 'target market', of course, there has to be an specific audience to which they want to deliver the anime:

# Shōjo: Intended for girls
# Shōnen: Intended for boys
# Seinen: Intended for adult men
# Josei: Intended for adult women

And Kannazuki no Miko, Mai-Hime/Otome, and SP are intended for Shonen audiences.. While MariMite and Revolutionary Girl Utena are intended for Shojo audience..

Of course, I'm not saying the other won't like the other.. I like KnM, although only episodes 8+, in my own opinion (and I mean, it's just me) I find the story at first to be slow paced, and the mecha aren't really that "BOOM!!" just ok.. As for SP, it's good, but I don't wanna re-watch it again.. Mai-Hime/Otome? Haven't tried it yet..

MariMite & Utena? AWESOME!! n_n
BOTH are.. n_n

Well, I've always believed you judge a person, male or female, on their deeds, actions, and intentions individually. I've watched this show for its deep story, great plot, and the fact that it makes your think sometimes, also for the comedy.

In addition, I love shows with a lot of character development, which this show I don't think can ever run out of. Male or female, it really doesn't matter, because both have their good and bad, you can't cast a shadow on one without knowing that you judge only half of the whole. Of course any farther I go without hearing more from you would just sound like I'm preaching without listening. So I'll leave on the old quote, 'One can judge a book on its cover for its content but not the story between it's bindings without reading it first.'

big_fan1704 · 2007-10-14, 09:28

Hi, I 've already seen Utena, it's pretty good

. But i still prefer Marimite

. Wating for the 4th season, long time

Jman502005 · 2007-10-15, 02:02

Can someone explain to me what this show Utena is about?

Stephanie · 2007-10-15, 02:19

@Jman
Yeah, I know that, but it's in my sub conscience, I'll just wait one day for anyone to prove me wrong..

About Utena:

Spoiler:

Anyway, the thread is quiet for now.. Until 4th season comes, I guess..
I also know that once the rumor of MariMite is licensed confirmed, MariMite thread will be erased cause only unlicensed animes are allowed here.. =P

Jman502005 · 2007-10-15, 02:30

Yeah, but I think you forgot one thing Stephanie, that the company that was supposed to be doing the licensing, is shutting down the presses and are questioning ever opening them up again. So I don't think it'll be getting licensed in R1 anytime soon. So you still have time to post on season four as much as you like.

Well, your stories are quite short, so there.. =P

Anyway, got to go for now, quite in a hurry..

i wanted to watch Kannazuki no Miko..it seems interesting

err why scrap out strawberry panic?
dunno why but i'm currently liking this series....only Amane and Hikari tho

Shizuma and Nagisa are just an imitaion of Sachiko and Yumi...
i agree that there's a lot of imitation from Mari-mite...but i just can't help watching them >_
Mai Hime is good too...tho it's for male audience...(so it's shounen type?)
we need more classic yuri animes

shrek · 2007-11-16, 05:37

Did u guys watch higurashi no naku koro ni kai ? all these time i thought that takano miyo sounds like sachiko, but her part wasn't that much in first season. On second season, you see a lot of takano and today , i found out the seiyuu is miki ito. now if anyone wanna see sachiko as bad evil sexy nurse, u guys shld watch higurashi.

Sei_Follower_Donna · 2007-11-18, 17:27

I love the show because I feel a conection to it. I just starting highschool and I'm a lesbian in a North Carolina town! Anyway I feel a very strong conection to Sei-sama because I had a similar relationship to what she and Shiori had (and if i may add she was a fool for leaving sei)

Spoiler for My Shiori:

I also feel conected to her because she was strong enough to move on with her life after Shiori. That and shes just the coolest person on the show!

My, that must be sad.. You still love her so deeply, don't you?
How are you in life so far? Do you still feel depress?

If I may ask.. Why did she kill herself? What was she so afraid of that killing herself was her option?

Stephanie You can reach for my hand Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Philippines Age: 34	@Internal As I said before, I know not "ALL" men are like that.. But subconsciously, no matter how hard I try, I know deep inside.. I cannot help but think they.. Never mind, I might start a flame here.. Anyway, some of my childhood experiences: Spoiler: My dad has always been working abroad, so when I was born he wasn't there.. When I was 4, it was the 1st time I saw him.. I was pretending to be asleep, and I heard him and mom fighting.. My mom was all like, "Our daughter is sleeping.. Stop shouting please!" and my dad was like shut up to her and raised a chair to her.. I see their whole fight, and ever since then, I hated my dad. All males in my family are arrogant bastards and have cheated When I was young, I heard the ice cream truck coming near by.. I went to the bedroom and took my dad's wallet out of his pants hanging in the hanger. I gave it straight to him and asked if I could have ice cream. He beated the crap out of me with a belt and told me I was a stealer. When I was in grade 4, I started becoming a top student.. I was always in 2nd place though, though I got to join all quiz bees and even become the speaker of the year for the school.. Soon, in 3rd term, I became 3rd in place, and my dad roamed me around the school field, crushing my hand and said how dare I become 3rd place and I was no good at all, and how he wanted to beat me.. I cried back in the classroom when he let me go. My dad always wreck things, and he even gave my mom a black eye. All males in my family are childish, lazy oafs, and dirty that I thought what do women see in them? Actually, many more.. Though I'll stop here for now @Lionsmane Yep, Utena is a GENIUS work of art! n_n

Actually, there's more that happened.. Well, for one last time jot them down, I feel like I'm circulating the conversation to myself.. Spoiler for Just to finish: Well, it's expected to be more, right? Since I only posted few above.. Ever since my dad have fought my mom, I've tried acting all 'hero' to her and stand right in front of her when they fight, even as a small child. My dad used to push/shove me away really hard as he wanted to continue whatever they're arguing about.. Once we were in the bedroom, he threw me in the bed, w/o concern how I will land. We went abroad, my dad's friends there asked if we had land and a house.. Of course, telling the truth, my mom said we were living in a small condominium.. After that, my dad argued to my mom that in that country, he is 'KING' and he is famous, and how dare we shame him. When my mom praised my dad's friend's beautiful car, my dad just left her wherever she was.. She was molested in Saudi Arabia streets, and the taxi driver also roamed her around the city, until she opened the door and almost attempted to jump that he stopped. Those signs, not only that, almost 70% of my friend's dads have mistresses.. And, since the family I grew up in all have jerky males, tendency is the females bad mouth the male race and how selfish they are.. So I think I absorbed what they were saying at my young age. My dad, so rich in another country, couldn't give us scrap of money or even send us money here, he just stopped.. So now, I have to stop going to college, and try to find work for a while.. I was just told this year, that when my mom was pregnant with me, she stayed at my dad's mom's place when they were young and still in college. My dad always shamed my mom, throw things around the house and even threw spaghetti on her face right in front of his mother and sister when he loses his temper. Also, when I got seriously hospitalized last year, with chances of death, he didn't even call once to check if I got out of the hospital or not, even if mom made an effort to connect with him even if she never wanted to.. Anyway, too much of that.. I just wanted to finish what I started.. =P @Soul Cool.. I accessed your page, but didn't know how to play or become part of it.. @EVERYONE* Sorry for bumping this but..

Anyway I feel a very strong conection to Sei-sama because I had a similar relationship to what she and Shiori had (and if i may add she was a fool for leaving sei) Spoiler for My Shiori: We were very much in love but she was afraid of her gardians finding out so we had to keep it a secret. We were happy for a while but then she started getting deppresed about us and then killed herself. I was mad at the world and mad at the christian God. After that I was very anti-social, and i had never really been very social to begin with. Then i made some very good friends that helped me through it, and then i was alot more social and active. I also feel conected to her because she was strong enough to move on with her life after Shiori. That and shes just the coolest person on the show!
