Yeh, I remember (before dvd's were the mainstream) I had the bootleg japanese not subtitled tapes of Utena and I downloaded scripts, printed them out, and had to watch each episode twice to read it and watch it so I caught everything... oh how I love multi language dvd's now... It will always have a special place on my shelf, but just don't play the Utena drinking game... those are dangerous times!
Wow, you are hardcore! I used some SM episodes raw, had no idea what was going on since it was before I knew more than 2 words in Japanese. XD;;; But it was fun.
Oh yeah. *chuckles* I don't do drinking games, but it sounds like fun.
Yeh... I don't drink much myself, but my friends tried it once... take a drink for every rose you see... they had to count the 4 swirling roses on the "framed" shots as one otherwise I think the first episode you'd be toast in the first sequence with the prince. O_o Almost as bad as the LoTR one... every time you hear "Mr. Frodo" I don't think there's a liver out there that could take that.
