Concept: after the events of the manga, Mob, now seeking to accept all of himself, becomes looser with the usage of his powers. His vast strength, once so tightly kept to himself, dense and suffocating, expands. As a result, things start happening that he doesn't exactly mean to happen. Little things, little accidents - tying his shoes without thinking, flickering the lights when he's upset, the plants around him standing taller when he's happy. And they pile up, little things becoming big things, until the whole of seasoning city is pretty much coated in his aura. A gentle presence now that it isn't so concentrated in one place.
The espers in the area can obviously feel it, but the non-espers come to notice it too in other, subtler ways - the plums beggining to bloom earlier in spring. The weather forecasts becoming more unreliable, as sunny days come when it was meant to be cloudy, or wind sometimes picks up out of nowhere, or rain arrives sooner than expected. A lot of car accidents get saved from a lethal end just from seemingly sheer luck. The creepy sounds that one and another have been haunted by dissapear suddenly. And at times, out of nowhere, more than before, people stop to think, just how lucky they are.
From this, new urban legends arise, and the common consensus that believers arrive at in the end, is that a benelovent spirit has entered town to bless it with small miracles. But at the center of it remains, in truth, an unintentional protector - just one small boy, named Kageyama Shigeo.

This might just be me but why do people even want to see amazing animated things, things that work partially based on being animated, turned into live action because animation is SUCH a good medium for visual storytelling. Like why would you look at something like avatar the last Airbender and think "yeah this but not animated" what

i rewatched rgu e39 the other day and im still besotted with all the references to drowning rgu sprinkles throughout its adaptations. i dont take the various adaptations as canonically interlinked, so to speak, and i have feelings (because when do i not) about each adaptations take on the story as a whole, but i think its utterly fascinating that all three of utenas main adaptations all involve drowning and rescuing. even outside the main adaptations im faiiirly sure drowning is still mentioned? like i havent read the movie-manga but i heard something like that. and drowning status is still unclear for after the revolution lmao.
i mean, i went in and read a little bit of the manga near the beginning when i wasnt completely sold on rgu yet - and overall i think its really lacking, haha - but it was the first thing that implanted the idea of "drowning" in my head. i mean, the way that little utena and the prince "meet" is because she was drowning, and he came in and rescued her. i do not think that a really great "meet-cute" in relation to the themes of the story as a whole... BUT its really intriguing when compared with the anime adaptations.
i mean, with the tv version, its very clear thats not how utena and the prince met. their meeting in the show exists in a liminal space that could technically allow the drowning in the more realistic space, ill admit, but really, its not how they met. period. INSTEAD the drowning is relegated off to juris older sister and an unknown boy, whose name juri forgot. this, of course, is a story being told about utena. the student council understands this. it seems to foreshadow the way that utenas presence is forgotten within ohtori. WHICH to bring us back around, is crazy because this paints utena as the rescuer, in conjunction with the prince that saved her. its a story that doesnt need the context of the manga at all, but it definitely gives it an extra flavor.
all of this gets muddled in the aftermath of adolescence of utena, of course, which relegates utena to neither prince nor damsel in distress, instead to bystander hurt in the aftermath. i have some gripes with a lot of AOU, and ill definitely have to rewatch it before i form a very strong opinion, but its a very weird take, i will admit. this, combined with the rest of AOU that spits out something between a sequel and a retelling, definitely causes a raised eyebrow or two. im not entirely sure what to say quite as much, due to just how much AOU is an outlier, without the clear allegory of utena as either a prince or a princess. AOU says nonbinary lesbian utena rights...?
