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 the Dark - Ep34
"Calamity is threatening the world. There is one who plans to steal all the light from the world and plunge the land deep into darkness."
"Who is this you speak of?!"
"A witch!"
The shadow play girls tell the story of the Rose Prince...
What a perfect shot of Anthy! This cel is one of the shots where the camera cuts back to Anthy during the shadow girls play that she, Utena, & Akio are watching. Her expression is the perfect mask that Anthy shows to the world - what a great cel of it!
