| "Adolescence Mokushiroku" |
"Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Adolescence Mokushiroku" (The Revelation
of Adolescence, or Adolescence Apocalypse) is the official title of
the Utena movie, due for release in Summer of 99. Director Ikuhara has
stated that "This will be a film no children can see" and that "I want
to show the kinds of sins that people struggle to carry". Projected
release date (on last report) is 8/99.The unfulfilled love story of Utena and Touga is a central point of this movie- an event that happened between them in the past that resonates into their future... The movie is NOT a direct continuation of the series; it's a 'parallel world' to the original story, where some elements are retained and others are discarded. However, much of the 'old formula' of the series DOES seem to have remained intact to the theatrical version... The story feels 'streamlined' and more modern. It is DEFINITELY going to be more adult-oriented. Look for MAJOR alterations to the duel formula and even the purpose of previously familiar titles such as the "Victor of the Duel". Also, the 'main' Duellists are present, but (at least in the manga version of the story), Nanami and all of her supporting cast (Tsuwabuki, the Three Stooges, Keiko-tachi) are absent. Also seeming to be absent this round is Chu-chu. Other changes from the series include a new voice-actor (Mitsuhiru Oikawa) for Akio- and possibly a totally new character as well (see [this page] for more info). Though, one would have guessed that we would have seen this new character in the settei from March, hmm.... It's rather mysterious! The film will appear on a double bill with "Cyber Team Akihabara 2011" in Japanese theatres. Advance tickets (with accompanying special phone card) were sold on 3/20. No word of any kind on a US release from Software Sculptors, who has currently licensed and released only episodes 1-13 of the Utena television series at this time. (Maybe it's time to start a letter-writing campaign? What do you folks out there think?)
