Utena, Revolutionary Girl: Student Council Saga Set 1 (LE)

[DesignedOne]

Mine's not here yet, but I hope its minimal scuffing. International returns would be a big hassle, especially for cosmetic defects.

Mickey? Not Miki?! Ugh … that's … that's … forget it, I'll just be glad for the things they managed to get right. Still not fond of the way the logo was done (based on the previews).

Really? The translation seems the same to me.

[Devdan]

All I know is when I watched it with my cousin a few months ago he'd always make fun of the last line of the ED "I want to keep on hating lies", but when I watched an episode earlier I noticed the line was translated very differently. I think it was "I want to be hated by lies." or something.

I'm seeing the same thing as of this morning. It's unusual, actually; I'd typically expect it to have been scanned in Grimes and/or Des Moines by this point. Not sure what's going on exactly, but I assume it'll get here eventually.

His real given name is "Miki" (幹 / みき). His nickname is "Mickey" (ミッキー). The CPM subtitles used both where appropriate, matching the Japanese.

My copy passed through both Grimes (429p) and Des Moines (544p) yesterday, so I should be seeing Utena (and the probable scarring on the box) tomorrow via USPS Priority Mail.

That sounds exactly like what I remember having heard or read a long time ago, so I wasn't too concerned... I don't remember how long ago it was that I last watched those CPM DVDs.

Nothing a black marker won't fix.

Huh, I thought they were just being inconsistent. What about "Jury"?

[ZenAmako]

Mickey is Miki's nickname. As for Jury, that is her name. It's either Jury or Juri.
