Post bilingüe porque yo lo valgo
Or, in english because I can:
I FINALLY started to watch Princess Tutu. Youtube was my only option, and they had only up to episode 11. Now I watch the rest at a site called Veoh or something.
I just finished episode 13, spoil me and die.
I wish I could make a better analysis of the series, the meta, and stuff. Sadly, I can't remember every detail and re-watching it's not a possibility. You know why.
It was... METATASTIC (yeah, I just created that word). And I LOVE (most of) the characters.
I loved how they handled the fairy-tales themes, narrative and archetypes. I LOVE how "Ahiru is only a duck, Fakir is only a human, and Rue is...." I can't remember what Rue was, but she was awesome anyway.
The problem is I can't stand Mytho. He wouldn't have been so bad by himself (he has the personality of an amoeba and I know it's deliberate), but it annoys the hell out of me how everyone on the show is so fucking nuts for him. And they fight, torture themselves, suffer emotionally in the worse ways, only for him. Because Ahiru, Fakir and Rue are so awesome, I wish they would forget about Mytho and... live happily ever after in a polyamory way.
Of course it's just a pet peeve of mine. After all, he is the prince. Who has to be saved. Which is good, I think.
I love how Ahiru is the ultimate heroine, and Fakir has to sacrifice himself to make her the hero because he can't even touch Rue (another woman). And we have a final match in which stereotypical feminine abilities (dancing) decide how things go and not masculine ones (brute force) - of course, it's because Mytho had to choose; but let's just forget about that. Seriously, I was so in love with the series at that point.
Bu then it came the happy 'ending' that wasn't supposed to happen. Thank God I know the series continues, I would be so mad otherwise.
It annoyed me how Mytho just choose, how Ahiru and him were supposedly happy. How Fakir ended there, hurt and alone; and Rue was devastated and hating herself again. I hope they subvert all this. I HOPE.
Another thing I didn't quite like was the dichotomy of white-pureness-good/black-sexuality-bad of Tutu/Kraehe. Kraehe was obviously evil and sexualized, when Rue was neither. But I'm sure things would go better for Rue because they gave her character development. They won't leave it all in nothing when they showed she developed feelings for Ahiru.
Anyway, overall, I'm excited for this. I'm silly in love with Fakir, btw (Ahiru and him are such a wonderful pair, even in they don't end like that).
You know, don't spoil me. About anything.
Isn't this the most awesome thing ever?
Parte en español:
Sabés, Mako? Adoré como Nietzsche deconstruyó el cristianismo y todo su dogma, y como pone en evidencia la corrupción y todos los problemas detrás de la moral de éste. Pero por Dios, no puedo finalizar el puto libro porque DETESTO con todo corazón los últimos capítulos en los que habla de la 'aristocracia', de su amor hacia las jerarquías y del 'mito de la igualdad de derechos'. Su esencialismo de 'lo viril, lo bueno' en comparación con lo 'femenino, lo malo'... y sí. Que hay antisemitismo, lo hay. Bastante esencialista se lo lee a Nietzsche en partes.

danly. ;_;
ETA: TENGO SHONEN MAGAZINE. La compré en una convención acá (bah, se la compré a Danly que la compró en la convención), es la parte de la pelea de Kuro y Fay contra Kiishimu en Koryo. Con el beso (que a mi me encanta por cierto :S). Y en japonés! Yaaay!

¿Como se llama esta gema? Licencia artistica.
Hace un par de semaname trague la serie enterea de una tacada (estaba sola, enferma y sin conexion a internet) y me encanto.
Eso si, para verla con la salud mental intacta hay que considerar a Mythos una cosa que, por algun motivo, todo el mundo quiere. Que al fin y al cabo es su papel, pero me resulta duro ver a dos tios medio en bolas abrazados y no notar ni la mas minima tension sexual XDD
No voy a decir nada, porque soy lo mas spoileante del mundo pero... cada vez que Drosselmeier dice lo de "Una historia no puede tener dos princesas" a ti tambien te dan ganas de explicarle como se las apañaron Utena y Anthy?
Que disfrutes del resto de la serie, los dos o tres capitulos despues del primer final son bastante sosos, pero no te preocupes, pronto recuperan el ritmo.
Pfft. Licencia artística es lo que voy a usar cuando haga comparaciones entre Sartre y Dragon Ball
Y es notable como a mí Fakir/Mytho no me hace mucho, y eso que Fakir está obsesionado (como todo el mundo) de una forma que... de repente muy platónica no parece. Aunque yo probablemente me quite los ojos si llega a pasar.

Oh. Oh! XDD Es justo Drosselmeyer hablaba de los arquetipos de los cuentos de hadas (por eso que éste anime es tan meta!), el de princesa es el de 'doncella pura y bella que debe ser rescatada/honrada lo que sea' (digamos es que en PT las cosas están al revés, Mytho sería la 'princesa' y Tutu el 'príncipe', pero eso dejémoslo para después que no quiero spoilearme, pero justo voy a escribir en un post sobre el parecido entre Anthy y Mytho XD), así que Utena representaba el arquetipo de príncipe y Anthy el de princesa (más o menos). Al final Utena era de romper esos arquetipos y salir al mundo real donde ellas serían solamente mujeres. Nunca voy a amar Utena lo suficiente.
Yaaay!
