Empty Movement (website)
From UtenaWiki
Empty Movement is an Utena fansite located at www.ohtori.nu. It is among the oldest "live" Utena fansites and is the unofficial home of most of the English-speaking online fandom. The site was established in 2000 by Giovanna, and since 2003 has been run jointly by Gio and Yasha. Site features include:
- In the Rose Garden, an active Utena forum which went live in 2006, boasting over 500 users and 100,000 posts
- By far the Web's most extensive gallery of images and screencaps from the Shoujo Kakumei Utena anime, movie, and miscellaneous media
- A collection of analysis essays written by Gio, Yasha, and others on topics ranging from symbolism in Tainai Tokei Toshi Orrery to spankings
- Translations of the anime episodes, hosted on behalf of the now-defunct Utena Encyclopedia
- Interviews with the creators of Utena, some of them retrieved from the Wayback Machine and available nowhere else on the Net
- The Audiology section that features vast amount of information on the music of Utena with the occasional appearance of rare music from the series
- Shrines to Ohtori Akio and Mrs. Ohtori
- Lots more
Empty Movement takes its name from a phrase in the song Virtual Star Hasseigaku, Saionji's final duel theme and the ending theme for the final two arcs of the anime.
