Anthy was a character that confused the hell out of me the first time I watched Utena. At the time, I connected deeply with Utena & probably as a consequence, I didn’t like Anthy very much. However, I saw a completely different, deeper, scarier character the next time I watched the series that absolutely fascinated me; each time I see it, I see more of her influence. She is one of those characters that has continued to mesmerize me & one that inspires so much compassion.

She is my favorite character from Utena & probably my favorite character in anime; I am always looking for nice or unusual cels of her.

Anthy in Bed - Ep34

"Who are you?"

Anthy stares in shock at Utena who is recounting a dream she had...

This is definitely one of my favorite cels and one I never thought I would get a chance to own.

This piece really is amazing - the first layer of this set is A1-End, which is her hair, body, and sheets. However, the eyes are on another layer and the mouth and nose are yet another layer. With this cel comes about 4 sets of mouths, C1-C4 End and the sketches for each of those layers. So all told, the cel has about 6 layers!
