You've blown me away, this was excellent!

I love the analysis of the symbolism in there, cars and drivers, I never thought of that -_- And drama, and how it is like a play, just excellent!

I want to see you do an analysis of the whole show XD well maybe that's impossible, it has infinite different explanations, but still

I liked this as much as the shadow girls story. Thanks for reviewing Dear Cast, you know, after reading it, it didn't make any sense to me either, so I trahsed it. I didn't do NEARLY enough characterization. Hope that didn't make you think I was a bad fanfic writer. My other things really are better. I should stick to serious fanfics for this catagory. ; I really do hope you come back and read my other fics, you'll find they're much better then that story.

Oh, the Juri thing, I know that wasn't explained nearly enough to make sense. I know Shiori didn't steal Ruka from her, and that Shiori was who Juri has wanted all along. Why else would she keep her picture in the locket, and not Ruka's?

Anyway, I've ranted enough. I hope you keep up your great work, and maybe give me another chance. I have a better Juri fanfic called Contemplating the Senses, and some alt. pairing Juri fics that have made people think.

Anyway, keep up the great work!

It's almost like Sartre's "No Exit." o_o Wow.

Once again, I must say, you're really something. Your fics are brilliant. I can't wait until you write more Utena fanfiction- it's such a psychological anime and you examine things so well.

;; I felt very stupid at times, reading the fic. The symbolism in some of the things were glaringly obvious, and yet I didn't notice until you pointed them out. Ehehe.

Wow, that gave me the chills. Are you sure you not some genius who makes a million dollars a year writing.

I loved how you combined both the movie and series. Very deft and subtle, I enjoyed this a lot.

FAN-tastic! I'm so glad a friend reccomended this to me. I never much cared for either Shiori or Mikage...well, and that hasn't changed. But I get to dislike them here so deliciously. And it's such good characterization, and so very Utena. Bravo! Now I'm off to read your other stories!

What a great story! I like the perspective on Shiori & Juri's relationship.

Marvelous. MARVELOUS. You really have a grasp of Utena above and beyond everyone I've ever talked to, and we're all big fans of the show. The whole business with cars and drivers is wonderful, and the characters are really excellently portrayed. Wow, really really impressive work. This is the first fic I've read of yours... I'm off to find the others. WOW. Very cool.

I did not find out you wrote Utena till ;) Great story! I almost forgot everyone's names but then I remembered again :) I love this story... Though Shiori really gets on my nerves. However, you did a great job :)

blue -

Very intruiging. It would be interesting to see these made into a series.

Well, you already know how I feel about this one. :-D Thought I'd mention again how much I enjoyed this. Bless you for pointing out how different TV and Movie Shiori are. Yay TV Shiori! Boo Movie Shiori! Bring Back Sheriff Lobo!
