Kill The Lights

"In the end, both the prince and the castle where eternity dwells are just illusions. I shall now reveal reality to you"
A tribute to the endurance of Utena and Anthy's friendship, even when what they knew wasn't as it seemed.
Ooooh perfect thumbnail :D
All info and credits are at the end of the video. Also I am very well aware I got the date wrong :P (I'm secretly a time traveller shh). Although it's subtle and not entirely noticeable I tried my hand at using colouring. Credit goes to GloriousHysteria

I've been waiting for this ever since I stumbled across this song and thought "Jesus did they write this FOR utena???". It's uncanny how much the lyrics match! This is everything I could have ever wanted so thank you!

[@loxem2668]

Not just Utena but this song also fits Umineko to a tee

[@seasaltmemories]

ah the song fit so well and man the editing was so impressive, I really fell in love with how you overlay-ed the images of both Utena and Anthy after having sex with Akio

I've seen this before, but finding it and rewatching it again, I had my hand over my chest as I reached the second half. This is edited so lovingly and combines two things that are so important to me. And the visuals for "I'll keep dancing through this beautiful, delusional career" are just... Gosh, I have nothing to say other than Wow. Thank you so much for making and posting this video, it's wonderful.

Phenomenal job! I adore The Birthday Massacre and Utena is a profound anime that I will never forget! Thank you for doing a wonderful job combining them in a way to bring out how they complement each other!

[@MinoDragonfly]

Ok, I have watched all your Utena videos by now and OMG why haven't I seen them earlier?? They are so well done, and the songs match so well and you did such a great job matching both lyrics and beats and everything...I am going to rewatch all of them at least a few times, I already know :') Thank you so much for exploring the different sides of Utena and sharing it with us!! I can't wait to see what you will come up with next!

[@AlbiFlorus]

i was waiting someone to make this amv for a long time and you'd done this
you are my hero

[@xDittoWaffuru]

Thanks :) it was my first time editing with Utena so I'm glad you like it

[@annapauladesouzafrancisco2031]

OMG, OMG! This song is perfect for this anime! I never conected the dots until now with your AMV (which is amazing by the way!)!
Wow thank you so much for doing this!

[@anonymousanon3055]

Great vid! Thanks for making and sharing

[@littleTSUBAME]

Great video! : ) I was just listening to this song and thought it fit Utena so perfectly and then I found this. ^^

[@xDittoWaffuru]

Thanks :D must be fate ;)

[@Unicornhunted]

I remember always hearing about Utena through my love of SU and Rebecca Sugar. Wondering if I should invest the time, only one day to search Tumblr tags and see this viddie✨ The frames chosen, editing, and clear love for the source material alone was enough for me to go down the rabbit hole apocalypse 5 years ago 🤍 You curated the story so well yet even clear spoilers went over my head before watching.
