I literally discovered this show during lockdown, and I binged all 39 episodes and the movie in three days. It was honestly a lifesaver and has become my favorite series of all time.
This series is amazing, so surreal and strange and like many have pointed out really wonderful at exploring sexuality, gender, relationships, and adolescence. Every relationship in this show is really twisted though, and I don't mean romantic ones only, I mean ALL relationships. Only interactions that are healthy are between Anthy and Utena.
I love Utena! It is such a clever and mature depiction of feminine journey on search for confidence and inner strength. I think this is the most women empowering anime I have ever encountered.
Lady Panda I hate so much when Hollywood tries to make empowering women. It's shit most of the times. I don't care about Wonder Woman or Black Widow. They're boring and predicting Mary Sue's. One dimensional and stupid most of the times. I'm a man that rolls his eyes plenty of times someone mentions this kind of stuff and other questionably feminist arguments. But Utena is so good in comparison. They're not afraid to show her good and noble but also gullible and naive at first, to finally overcome her challenges and be herself
Lady Panda EMPOWERING??? Omg let your feminist BS far from Utena. This anime has NOTHING to do with idiotic feminism, this anime its spiritual simbolic.
+fuhrer “The legendary pokemon” I think about that and realize Cowboy Bebop came out around the same time.. the quality of Cowboy Bebop is amazing. That show does not seem like it came out in the 90s but it did. completely timeless Unlike this show. I can tell it's straight up 90s, and I love it.
At first you're like: "This sequence is pretty sweet." Then you're like: "Wait aren't they gonna shorten it in subsequent episodes?" *Then* you're like: "They're not shortening it." **Then** you're like: "Am I really gonna be able to sit through this sequence each episode?" Several episodes later: "ZETTAI! UNMEI! MOKU-USHIROKU!"
@@cesarsolis5449 Utena literally uses miracles to win every battle. She beat sword master Saionji in the first episode without a proper sword using her one-shot prince move. Not that this is bad writing, this is a ridiculous comparison.
@@banokoI am not a fan of Rey but looking back the obsession people had with hating her and bringing her in every conversation to “mock modern female characters against the superior good older generation” was so embarrassing and unnecessary.
Utena = Surrealism, gender issues, appearance vs darker side of the id, trust vs betrayal. The music and the visuals are awesome of course, just like this OP ;) Utena = Thought provoking, one of the best of all time.
I watched Utena 15 years ago and didn't tought of it during a lot of years. Today i started rewatching it and i still remember perfectly the opening. This looks promising. Just by watching the first episode i found i remembered the show better than i expected.
Uhmn yeah, that's how feminism works. It's not about gender, it's point is to make society not be about gender. Removing gender restrictions and not let them determine what kind of people women and men (yes, guys too) are allowed to be and what kind of roles they should have.
Haha. My daughter is coloring her hair pink these days, and I told her her weeabo destiny is coming together. She said it was gay, I told her it's not my fault she's slowly becoming utena. (Sent her this opening. )
I love how in 0:24 when Utena shows up you can see the phallic Ohtori tower and then the boy's (masculinity) and when Anthy shows up there is a gate or entrance (no more words needed) I know it's a stupid detail, but I loved it xD
exactly I'm a guy, 24 years old and this is one of my favourite anime's of all time it is truly one of the unique pieces of work done in any form of fiction I have seen, very interesting characters, tropes played and deconstructed and even characters like Nanami and even Akio who creeps the hell out of me I felt for by the show's end, this is one of those shows that challenges your views on life. anyways this opening song is awesome loved it so much
If you pair this anime with the ending you got the whole series pretty much spelled out for you. For those who have seen the entire anime, you know what I mean. Dissect every scene and you got the whole plot in the OP and ED. Cool huh?

I remember watching this for the first time when I was starting to get into anime saw this intro and thought to myself “have I gone to far. Is this to girly for me”. Still love the show
One of my best friends recommended this anime to me yesterday, upon asking her which anime she would watch over and over for the rest of her life if she was forced to. She said this one had many interpretations, and had such a good story, that she actually wouldn't mind watching it 100 times. So this is definitely in my to-watch-soon list. Do any of you think the same as her? (I mean the part of it having many interpretations, not the part of being able to watch it 100 times)
This anime is very good, It has much symbolisms, its music is beautiful and characters are so interesting.You should watch Utena, trust me, you will not regret. 10/10
Amanda S.C Yes, infact there is a whole forum site dedicated to analyzing and discussing this anime. This site: forums.ohtori.nu/viewforum.php?id=2 This is quite easily my most favorite anime as well. Everytime you rewatch it you discover new things, and thus that opens up new possible interpretations. It's been a year since I first watched Utena, and I've already seen it 3 - 4 time. xD As others have said, its a bit of a slow start, but it picks up soon enough. The weird and surreal imagery will definitely keep you coming back. I hope you enjoy/enjoyed it!
The first time I watched Utena I was too young to understand anything. I watched it years later and although I didn't fully understand it I think that this is one of the bests animes ever.
FINALY FUCKING YES I FOUND ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I vaguely remember this anime!!!!! I think I had a random episode or two on VHS when I was younger, and I know I used to watch them all the time, but I've never seen the full anime, I'll have to try and find it to watch it!
I think this is the next classic anine I intend to watch. Kinda regret not giving it a chance all those years back(im 29 now) but older anime really have been hitting me lately.
i love this anime so much. although the art style and animation has a lot of issues, it’s very visually pleasing. the art has such a nice feeling to it u know?
Utena and Anthy in full armour in the black and white horses are a reference to the original idea the whole series was based on. Ikuhara's Sailor Moon SuperS movie was going to be about Uranus riding a black pegasus to reach the end of the world and save Neptune from it while the other soldiers rode the white pegasus from the series to chase Uranus and get back their talismans. His idea was rejected, so Utena was born.
I own this series along with the movie and it is a masterpiece, everything about this story is great not to mention the songs like this amazing opening! love Utena!
I think the whole point of the ending is that they DO love each other. And I think that by arguing if they're a couple or not is missing the point of the show.

I learned something today. The Japanese name "Utena" means "sepal," the part of a flowering plant that protects the flower in bud and supports the petals when in bloom.
Takumi Did Nothing Wrong Such a fitting name for a show about a girl who learn to be an adult. Damn they thought about every detail didn't they
Ahhhhh. Thank you for that insight. If Utena is the sepal, then Anthy is the "anther" -- the pollen-bearing part of the stamen.
Makes so much sense know given her char though
HHUUHH???!!! in the manga its translated as "flower calyx " or is that the same thing?(calyx's meaning is basically what u just said)
Omg thank you
