I finally finished watching Revolutionary Girl Utena!
I finally finished Revolutionary Girl Utena a few days ago and it’s pretty good! I can definitely see why it’s such an influential show.
Also, holy cow. As someone who loves Steven Universe and knowing how the creator of that show, Rebecca Sugar, said Utena was one of the works that influenced SU, you can really notice it.
For anyone interested in watching Utena, I do recommend reading a content/trigger warning list beforehand (I recommend this extensive one). For me, there’s some stuff that I didn’t know would appear in the show and it was part of the reason why I had to put it on hold for a while. I went in thinking it was going to be a lighthearted magical girl anime but the show ended up dealing with heavy and potentially triggering themes. Utena does treat these in a mature and respectful manner. With all that being said, I do recommend watching the show.
