Gogai, gogai!!! New chibis this way!!

Marakuji's Volume 3 collection, titled Masquerade, finally comin' at you hot off the scanners of feste and I, who once again worked together to get you the whole fleet of miserably expensive blind swaps! (The first volume, Tea Time, and the second, Birdcage, are of course also available there!)

What's different this time?? Well, the gallery systems on ohtori.nu no longer work in the backend. The time has finally come for me to retire the effort of maintaining a decades old gallery program and begin migrating the existing structure into a static website that I can hopefully keep up indefinitely. That will be a huge personal clusterfuck and miserable undertaking, but I'm currently working with some more modernly savvy Utena fans to make that happen! In the meantime, I certainly have no plans whatsoever to stop hosting new Utena artwork, and so that these new scans have a happy little landing site (more chibis on the way!) I uploaded them to the gallery system within the Something Eternal forum, which will now be the main space I add new scans.

Because chibis are something there aren't actually that many of to document, I went back and organized them by release, and added context about the merchandises they're attached to and more specific release information! So go visit these adorable new chibis and their full acrylic plates here, along with all their friends, in The Chibi Gallery!

Thanks again to Thanatos_26 for these scans and permission to clean, organize, and host them! Early drafts, initial sketches, and correction sheets are organized, layered on top of one another, and given additional comparison shots to the animation by me.

Both The Utena Gallery and The Doujinshi Gallery came down last week on Monday, when my server host killed PHP 7.4. The last time this happened several years ago, I had multiple panic attacks and was generally a complete mess, because these two galleries are basically my hobby life's work. Literally. It's just an anime art collection, sure, but I look back and see thousands of hours of scanning, coding, constructing, and a lot more money than I'd like to admit. Blood, sweat, and tears, made meaningless if there's no means to share it.

This time I took a bit longer to fix everything, but had no panic attacks! (Was on a two hour a day troubleshooting limit, lmao.) They're both live again and appear to be working fine, but let me know if anything comes up that needs to be fixed!

Revolutionary Girl Utena ~ Adolescence Apocalypse

Illustrated by Shinya Hasegawa for A-X Magazine, March 1999! Scanned from the Hardcore of UTENA artbook! Tumblr only lets me post it in 3k. Hah! Get the 6k copy here, where you can follow my tediously slow progress! When the book is finished, it'll be put up on the Internet Archive in even bigger 10k!

GOGAI, GOGAI! NEW UTENA CHIBIS!!!

Come get your complete scans of the 2025 Marakuji collab PART 2! This Birdcage theme is a sequel to the first run, Tea Time. (Of course we've already got that one scanned!)

Thanks to my whining in the prev post about not being able to get a Touga, a kind fan reached out to help! Feste's scans were honestly superior to the ones I can do because of the weird way the plastic scans, SO YES I ASKED FOR MORE. Most of the scans for this set are thanks again to feste, with Utena, Anthy, and Saionji being the only ones I had to scan. There is, YET AGAIN, another set of these coming, which feste and I are already on top of. Which is great, because I'm tapped out of spending hundreds of dollars to get the blind swap acrylics second hand.

In the meantime, these new ones can all be found in the Chibis section of The Utena Gallery, where you can download the full size chibis and their matching acrylic cards. (If you really need to see those from within Tumblr, get under the cut!!)
