Eternity means lasting forever, right? For years, decades, centuries, millennia, eons, and on and on. My life may be just a moment, but.... Eternity means that this moment lasts billions of billions of years, without end. I.... I.... I want eternity. Lighter and Softer: 'Shadowgirls' might not come across as all that cheery, what with the rampant carnage and monsters... until you compare it to the stuff that Lovecraft himself wrote. This series is vastly more idealistic than most works that connect to the Cthulhu Mythos.

Completely Different Title: Was released as Ursula's Kiss, its intended US title (see below), in various countries. The English dub's principal voice actors also performed a number of supporting characters in addition to their primary roles. For example: Touga: [ Stepping out of the shadows] Glad to hear that. I'm Touga Kiryuu, student council president, and totally normal boy. Fantasy Kitchen Sink: Apparently, not only is this is a world of Cthulhu Mythos, but also vampires, werewolves, and aliens. And Lovecraft was a part of an organization dedicated to passing the knowledge of how to fight them to the rest of humanity, masked as a fiction. Shadow Girls’ is a strange, poignant novel which begins as a straightforward exploration of teenage girls’ lives in the 1960s but becomes much more. The author Carol Birch plays with genres and timelines, with perspective and with our expectations.

But, while the tension and eeriness is palpable, I did feel at times the pacing was a bit off. And, while I’m not one to crave a neat ending, I felt there were quite a few ends that remain a little too loose. In fact I’m still quite confused by some of the paranormal activity in the novel and also so many side-story details that seemingly have very little – or no? – relevance to the plot. Combining psychological suspense with elements of the ghost story, Shadow Girls is a literary exploration of girlhood by Man Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Jamrach's MenagerieShout-Out meets Self-Deprecation when one of Starkweather characters insults Shadowgirls and it's creators here. Also, the artist tends to sneak in little Shout Outs to his friends in the art. Jason DeMarco says [adult swim] and/or Toonami was interesting in broadcasting the series at one point, but it didn't work out. Approval of God: Kunihiko Ikuhara was reportedly very happy with Rachael Lillis' performance as Utena. I wonder if the flowers themselves are happy, being forced to last so long. Eternity doesn't exist in this world, does it? It's just that one could think that a heart that longs for eternity is beautiful Utena and Anthy would have been an unambiguous romantic couple in the series had Be-Papas member Chiho Saito not objected, resulting in an argument between her and Ikuhara. Thankfully, she later changed her mind and retracted any negative statements she may have had towards the pairing.

I found the webcomic late (partway through its first season). The art alone was enough to make me stop and read a few panels. The writing and setting were intriguing enough to send me through the archives. The rest, as they say, is history. on the phone to Akio] Hello? Yes. I was looking at the stars. I don't want to look at the real stars. Amidst the resurgence of ghost stories and superstition among the girls, a tragedy is about to occur, one that will send Sally more and more down an uncanny rabbit hole... No Export for You: Zigzagged with the show and Adolescence of Utena, as explained above under Keep Circulating the Tapes. Played straight with the Sega Saturn game and the light novels, although fan translations do exist for those to one degree or another.

Provides Examples Of:

Shrug of God: Director Kunihiko Ikuhara is infamously unhelpful — and sometimes deliberately infuriating— when it comes to explaining things about the show and even more so regarding Adolescence of Utena. Don't expect much in the way of straight Word of God. Probably best demonstrated with his statement about the difference between (Series) Utena and (Movie) Utena: "In the movie, she turns into a car." If You Kill Him, You Will Be Just Like Him!: Played straight with Paul, who stopped Lin from killing the Bloodwatch member that almost Brainwashed him. Adults Are Useless: They're not. At least those that don't need to be rescued from a Fate Worse Than Death. Or the ones working for the bad guys. If it’s for someone you love…how you feel about others doesn’t matter. You keep lying to yourself for as long as it takes.
