Well even though I'm a Utena/Anthy fan I've got to be honest...your portrayal of Anthy here is absolutely friggin' hillarious!

And right on the money! I especially like Anthy's weirdness, passive agressiveness, and craftiness in part 3. Good on Nemuro for seeing her with accurate eyes and calling a spade a spade. ROFL Utena's childish innocence of any undercurrents is the perfect counterpoint of course.

So are you ever going to finish this story? It's well written, and a great concept...would really be worth finishing. XD Drop me a line if you do.

Wow. I was totally blown away by your descriptions. I love your writing style. Even if I didn't like Utena--actually I merely find it interesting, not something to be fanatic about hehe, but I do like reading some fanfics of it--I would read this story just for the sake of your storytelling. ^_^ *adds to favorites* The typical author should learn a thing or two from you. ^_-

Professor Nemuro/Mikage has always been one of my favorite characters in anime, and I always regretted that he vanished so abruptly in the TV series, with only that ominous phone call from Akio to conclude his disappearance. What you've done with him here is wonderful. It's great to read a story that captures so well the characters' personalities. You've really gotten the surreal quality of the television series, too. I hope this is a story you intend to finish; I look forward to seeing how this war against the academy turns out! And of course, the continuing drama of the relationship between Anthy-Utena-Nemuro is fascinating. Thank you for a lovely story.

Man, I'm glad I happen to stop by this section. Your work is truly a masterpiece.
Reading over this chapter, I very much felt the struggle, hopelessness, and simple tangled ends of despair that drove Utena and Nemuro forward. You also continue to accentuate sorrow and character interaction/development as if it were natural. It doesn't come off as cheap or forced, it comes off as if that's the way it should be.
You are really able to convey the emotions they are feeling, indeed, because you're making me jealous with the amount of skill you have. ^_^
I'm looking forward for the next chapter. I love this story!

I want to tell you how wonderful your work is but words fail me. Like Alan Haruman, your words ring true in the oldest sense of the word. True as bone under weak flesh supporting a pretty tale over darker truths.

The elevator scene-- WOW. You have me in a cage...
Excellence, good luck with the next chapter.

I'm not even sure what to say about this latest chapter... Gah, this just keeps getting better and better. Utena hauling off and slugging Akio is, of course, priceless--and no doubt fulfills many an Akio-hater's dream. And you know, I think it really speaks well of an author when a good 2/3 of a chapter takes place exclusively in an elevator and is STILL captivating. As always, your portrayal of all the characters involved is excellent. I can't wait for chapter 7. ^_^

Wow! I'm so glad to see another chapter to this, and this was definitely worth a wait. Now all I have to do is wait for the next part. I want to see where Utena's declaration of war is going, and what precise effect it's going to have on everyone around her, for sure.

This is a really beautiful Utena fanfic. It's one of the very few that captures the surreal ambiance that made the Utena series special.

Wow. I had actually stopped checking the Utena section here because I kept finding myself bored and disappointed. This is one of the few after-the-series fics that I've really enjoyed. I look forward to reading more. Thank you!

very glad you finally updated. Liked the bit about Ruka, but I always figured Nemuro to be the first casuality (as he graduated first). And C-ko's got a real name! How cool is that? Looking forward to meeting Akio again (or any of the other duelists that perhaps didn't graduate).

Oh me. Oh my. Yet another great chapter with hints of humor, an ideal air of seriousness, and a cryptic title. I see no mention of this John Galt throughout the chapter, but then again, I dare not question what's going through your brilliant mind. ^_^; I'll be waiting for the next!

P.S. - So nice of you to have them name it Tsuchiya Memorial Hall *wipes tear*

I only review stories if I think they're absolutely amazing, and I think this qualifies. I am completely confused but the plot is SO GOOD!! As is your use of language... and the character analysis... this is just fantastic. I love it. PLEASE continue this soon!!
