[fried3995]

[chibichao]

*BEEP BEEP*

HOP IN, ANTHY

[RavenKavanagh]

Wait, instantly recogniseable plot? What am I missing?

[daftcazar]

nunca supero los preciosos ojos que le pusieron a utena en el minuto 1:15 XD HHNNGG

[Neohin]

lol her boobs are magical

[ranka35]

i thought this scene was cool!

[ABwingz16]

this movie is weird as fuck...but give them points for A) one of the most romantic dance scenesever, and B) THE MOST EPIC OUT OF PLACE CAR TRANSFORMATION EVUR!

[mattcli]

The lesson here is: If a woman offers you a sword from her chest, you should just go ahead and take it. Otherwise you'll be turned into a car by an evil car wash.

[erisi236]

I guess this symbolizes every young girls dream to become a car.

I will never get tired of this movie.

[phox008]

I still can't find an meaning for the ending of the AoU. But what I can sum up is "I don't always duel but when I do I grow up I turn into a car."

[AngelofSatire]

@phox008 Serious note? In the end - Anthy had to save herself. I think that's it. Utena just kind of became the tool to allow that to happen. Idk.

[ellaturk138]

....there goes 3 minutes and 25 seconds of my life....

[cue0987]

i love anthy with her hair down

[rgzdev]

A car is fine too.

[vivrou]

what the hell?

[lorenzalorenza]

what the heck!?

[ThePisceanMuse]

I guess in Japan, when two women love each other very much one of them is bound to turn into a badass racecar lol

[redcorpse]

Best penis metaphor I've ever seen.

[wargarurumon]

you get.... a brand new car

hooray!!!

[bigfoxxiii]

now can anthy and utena be members of TWISTED METAL!

[StonedMarmaduke]

When you're a young princess, what you want to do when you're older is become a prince, but by the time you grow up, you realise that you have to throw away your childish ambitions, and get a realistic job. Like becoming a car.

[timetuner]

I love this series' surrealism, but the whole car thing needs to go away. Alternate ending requested.

[YaukmoXIchigo]

OMG that was strang. And Anthy and Utena did not become the same person.

[Louchan2]

Ikuhara is a fucking genius.

[Nerdicaful]

Car Utena: Get in, betch.

[indigoandbluetoo1]

Seriously what was this about

[Rivalee]

First time I saw this I was like "WTFG of all that's holy just happened" O_o

Still feels the same whenever I watch this (I like this scene, but I think that the Adolescence-manga was a little bit better)

[catgirl1234]

I think it makes sense for Utena to transform into a car. From what I interprete, a car can represent masculinity, determination, strengh, etc. Is that not all what Utena is about?

[brinpol]

Sometimes I wonder if it would have made more sense for Anthy to "become" the car...

[queenofspades84]

@brinpol Man Utena is so deep...I once heard some ppl interpret Utena/Anthy as the same person during the TV show....that's a pretty clever interpretation...

[Sledrave]

Goddamnit, Utena!

[kawaiiPASTA]

I wonder if she has good mileage :P

[neofeliss]

Anthy: ...wtf just happened?

XD

[HazyChase20]

...

Sure, why not?

[CerebrateHyatt]

Baby you can drive my car!

!!!VROOM!!!VROOM!!!VROOM!!!

You gonna be a star!

[LegendarySilverWolf]

breast grabbing sword unsheathing? what doesn't look like a fight gonna happen

[LegendarySilverWolf]

WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH?

IF THERE WAS A AWARD FOR THE WEIRDEST MOMENTS IN ANIME THIS WOULD WIN. HOLY SHIT

[TheBlairdevil]

To the Utenamobile!

[th3azscorpio]

I thought it was soo badass when she turned into a car. I was like "thinks of that?!" such an abstract idea. love the art and animation as well..

[Rathdrgnknight]

I watched this years ago (One of my first real exposures to anime--besides something 4kids) and I was so confused, but this part has always been my favorite (especially the music)

[mina352]

@Rathdrgnknight

Watch the anime series. It'll make more sense after that. :P

[Rathdrgnknight]

@mina352 Oh, I eventually did. :) I was confused in the past tenst. It's still a bit confusing, but it does make more sense to me now than it did when I was 13. (I kind of watched this without knowing what it was, and my parents didn't use parental blocks lol)

[Guergy]

WTf did I just watch? I am confused.

[BATCHARRO]

At the car wash! Transforming into a car while ominous music pays at the carwash!

[RurutiaDariya]

Finally, freedom. Sweet sweet freedom. IN THE FORM OF A PINK RACECAR!! (feelsgoodman.jpg)

[nikolas1025]

Oh gosh, nice quality! Thanks (:

[Angryneck]

The Incredible Turbo Teen!

[Nenna333]

This is like the worst part in teh movie.. and one of those reasons why I hate the movie..

[PapillonRoseGR]

@Nenna333 why?

[Nenna333]

@PapillonRoseGR

I just don't like it, I guess.



[smavie]

@Nenna333 Cars in Utena symbolize freedom. By becoming a car, she allows Anthy and herself to find a way to freedom and away from the oppressiveness of her older brother. Its a symbolism thing - you have to look at what the car represents in the movie. Not what it is. The whole movie is like that.

[Nenna333]

@smavie Maybe, but I still like the Anime better. :]

[idiot00]

somehow, fitting (takes RPG and blows up Utena-car)

[safirediaz]

Prince Utena has turned/evolved into her ultimate Transformer form!

[shaymin123able]

a freaking car! sweet

[sayadiva123]

totally the best part
