Revolutionary Girl Utena

When Utena’s parents passed away, she was rescued by a prince who gave her a rose crest ring. She was so impressed by the prince that she vowed to become a prince herself. Years later, at a boarding school with a lot of secrets, we discover that the student council all have rose crest rings, that they can use them to access a floating garden and dueling tournament, and that they have some kind of plan for world revolution. What happens when the girl who wants to be a dashing prince gets accidentally get caught up in their plans and wins the hand of the Rose Bride?

( Full of spoilers, ramblings and theories. )

Overall: A series with a heaping helping of WTF that I probably (again) watched at a less-than-optimal point in my life. Though I suspect I understand a lot more about friends who saw it at a more formative time, now.

Castlevania Lords of Shadow Mirror of Fate

The Belmont clan is cursed and shamed, so the Brotherhood sends them on a mission to kill Dracula, lord of the darkness. Again.

( Aka Castlevania: Too Many Subtitles )

Overall: If you were looking for another Aria of Sorrow this definitely isn’t it. But it’s a decent action game and a reasonable old-school Castlevania game.
