I, um.

Wow?

I'd attempt a scene dissection, but not tonight. I'm still whirling.

I wish I had artistic talent. Because one scene conjured an image in my mind that -will not leave-. It is going to be with me until the day I die. Like the first duel between Gryphon and Utena in the dojo, which also burned itself into my mind, this one is there and I'll no doubt be dreaming about it for -weeks-.

It is the point where all of the gathered heroes are responding to the call, marching down the corridor. I can -see- it in my mind, and it is -amazing-. The bit with Anthy adjusting Utena's rank pin on the fly, the sheer purposefulness (is that a word?) that is displayed... I can't summarize what it does any better than is already shown. But GOD I wish I could draw, because it begs to be shown that way.

Amazing work.

And as so often happens with Symphony works, I hit the end and it was like physically hitting a wall. I simply couldn't believe it was done. I yelled at my computer, in fact.

Y'all are like -pushers-, man. And just when I was getting over Symphony withdrawal again. *grin*
