"Never lose that strength or nobility, even when you grow up." When Utena was just a child and in the depths of sorrow, she found salvation in those words. They were the words of a prince, who bestowed upon her both a ring and the promise that it would lead her to him again. She never forgot the encounter. Now a teenager, Utena attends the prestigious Ohtori Academy; however, her strong sense of chivalry soon places her at odds with the student council and thrusts her into a series of mysterious and dangerous duels against its members.

Most surreal, subversive anime I've ever seen. Changed my view of what storytelling can be

Evangelion, but for queer people. And also better. An absolute must-watch for people who love complex characters and surrealist plots.

My favorite show of all time. Starts as a charming fight of the week shoujo , ends as symbolic & shockingly dark coming of age masterpiece.

A beautiful surrealist fairy tale of love, courage and self-discovery told through the skillful use of symbolism and metaphor. Also Chu Chu.

Can be slow at times but some episodes are really emotional - movie is better imo but the show gives a lot more context

Very confusing series, but there is something about it that makes me feel like I have never felt before. Its a great watch.

Best anime ever imo. Dark, complex, funny, ridiculous, and endlessly intriguing. You have to watch to the end to see why it’s worth it

I watched for the sapphic romance, but the magical girl plot lost me pretty fast, despite being a fan of Sailor Moon. I wished I liked it.

Couldn't get past the repetetive formula to get to the "revolutionary" part of this show.
