My name is Ronen (not Rowan) and I live in a country town that thinks it's a capital city known as Adelaide.
I first heard about SKU at the end of last century and over time, I have read many essays and reviews about the series and a couple of years ago, I was able to gain my first taste of Utena when the movie came out on DVD. I loved many aspects of the movie (even thou as a whole, the movie was kinda disappointing) enough to want to see the anime and read the manga.
Thanks to Youtube, I was finally able watch the Japanese subs of Utena from episodes 01 to 39 . My favourite characters would have to be Juri (Great swordsmanship skills and groovy orange hair), Utena (She gets to become a prince without turning into a boy…unlike me) and surprisingly, Nanami (Normally, I can't stand girls like her, but she grew on me )
Out of the guys, I like Mikage (Who would have guessed that a guy could have pink hair and still look manly?) and anime Akio (Not the fruity assed one who needs Rohypnol just to score with a girl.)
Food wise, I have the fondness for musk flavoured candies, Jaffas, mash potatoes with chicken gravy and super-tender strips of corned silverside.
I seem to have a thing for anime or manga that features gender confusion as part of or central to the storyline.
Adobe Photoshop is my favourite computer toy, (that and GTA San Andreas). I just love finding anime/manga pics and altering them to my personal tastes.
