Watching random anime is extremely fun. I once started roaming around the random tags and picked series that have more than 65% recommendation and found some cool stuff. One that I'm watching right now is called "The Testament of Sister New Devil". If you like Highschool DxD you will definitely like this. I'm surprised how a series like this has better combat than a lot of fantasy/isekai out there. At the same time having more well made "sus" scenes than a lot of hent**. Why watch series with detailed plots that will change how we see the world when we can just watch trashy shows with lots of "plot" instead?

Slight correction, the Utena anime is not based on the manga, they were created at the same time and are a different retelling of the same story. You do need to consume all three versions of the story, manga, anime and movie, to fully grasp wtf the whole plot is. ...or just watch a KZitem video of someone else summarizing it.

I don’t think you need to consume all three. I think the plot of the anime is strange and gets more symbolic in the climax/towards the end, which makes it more confusing, but the themes are pretty clear. Watching the movie afterwards was more confusing because I expected to learn more about their world, but it’s quite different and goes in its own direction with a more clearly happy ending. Describing it as a retelling of the same story is fair. I haven’t read the manga, though. I heard it’s less gay, is that true?

the Utena series is weird, but compared to the movie it's positively normal and coherent. Like, there's still a lot of symbolism, but it's more straightforward, if not always sensible. It's also not immediately clear in the series that the school is supernatural in nature - the architecture is weird, but only the dueling arena and the freaky upside down castle in the sky seem obviously impossible. if you want to see all these characters but in a plot that makes significantly more sense, I can highly recommend the series.

Yes, I read the I''s manga many, many years ago. The manga wasn't particularly fanservice-y either from what I remember. There are two notes I do clearly remember about it: First is that the author was REALLY good at framing. The whole manga has this cinematic, almost movie-like style where it would frequently zoom the camera out to focus on the background. It was the first time I ever remember being absorbed in the visual style of a manga (it's by the same artist as Video Girl Ai, if you've ever read that). The second is that all of the content after the anime ends was just miserable to read. Like, it was mostly the main character being depressed because he hadn't seen his girlfriend in like a year and wondering if he should just bite the bullet and cheat on her (with the high school girl next door who happens to look identical to her). I hated that stretch so much.

It introduced all these one time characters I had never seen before that weren't in the manga and a plot that isn't in the manga either. I don't think the writers actually read the source material, it was some weird plot where Iori gets stranded on a flooded shrine and then the childhood friend almost gets kidnapped by some motorcycle gang. It was so weird and stupid.

Utena tldr: everyone is actually dead and each completion of the arc is a time loop with very small changes each time. The movie is like the final loop before they escape so we’re meant to recognize scenes from the last time loop and draw subplot from the differences between them. So it’s kind of very necessary to watch all of the show and movie to be able to find nirvana. Utena literally becomes her girl’s vehicle to freedom

I love the Utena movie. Sadly, while it's a 'retelling' of the manga & anime rather than a sequel to them, you do still kind of have to be familliar with at least one of the prior stories to understand the nuances of the film. Thankfully the broader strokes - breaking out of confining gender roles, the surreality of adolescence, the boarding school/college campus experience's estrangement from outside reality, one person acting as a vehicle to help another's maturation - playing out in awesomely & hilariously literal form, that all reads well enough without prior context. But yeah, a lot of nuance is lost without knowing the previous works. It also helps to have a familiarity with the tropes & common subtext of the magical girl genre generally. It's maybe not /as/ direct a genre deconstruction as something like Madoka is, but the anime at least definitely hits the ground running with an assumption that the audience can keep pace, rather than spending any time getting them up to speed. The manga does a bit more of that, but not all that much. Anyway, do please watch the tv show at some point if you have the time, very worth it. yeah it's a bit long, at least by modern standards, but it's one of the 90s classics for a good reason.

I'm really glad you liked the Utena movie! I only got around to watching it a few months back and it instantly became one of my favorite films ever. I saw the series quite a while back and I love that too, I highly recommend it. People who say the Utena movie is standalone probably don't really understand the movie. A lot of what the movie does only makes sense if you have context from the TV Show first. Watching it without seeing the series first will make it far more confusing than it actually is, and there are implications that Anthy has retained knowledge of what happened in the show's universe. On a minor side note, when you see the letters "ou" in a Japanese word or name, it's almost always going to be pronounced like the o in "no". Technically it's a bit different than that, since the u indicates that you're supposed to extend the vowel sound a bit, but that's pretty difficult to distinguish if Japanese isn't your native language so that's really a big deal. More to the point, this means Touga is pronounced more similarly to "toga" (the clothes worn by ancient Romans), not "tooga" as you were pronouncing it. Though I haven't seen Utena dubbed, so there's a chance they screwed up the pronunciation there.

I finally read the whole Utena manga for the first time last year - including the manga version of the Adolescence movie, which is apparently slightly different than the movie itself - so when I saw it come up I was like "oh no." I mean, don't get me wrong, the series is REALLY good - I found the story overall to be very engaging. But there are definitely a lot of parts where I too was quite confused/shocked as to what was happening. In a way, I'm glad I waited till recently to read it, cause if I had tried to read or watch it when it first came out, when I was still in high school, I don't think I would've understood it as well. And I've heard the anime series is even MORE twisted than the manga. Still, for the time it came out, it was quite revolutionary (pun not intended) in its explorations of gender identity and such, especially since in the late '90s even being gay publically was still pretty taboo. Also the opening song, "Rinbu Revolution," is a serious banger, which I've enjoyed for years despite never having seen the anime. They also came out with a sort of sequel volume to the original manga in 2017, in honor of the series's 20th anniversary, called "Revolutionary Girl Utena: After The Revolution," which is basically a collection of short stories following the members of the student council after the events of the main series, particularly exploring how they are affected by Utena's disappearance after the final battle. Anyway, would recommend. I agree, the Angel Rabbie thing sounds interesting...the only anime I know of with "magical girls sent by heaven" are Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne and Nurse Angel Ririka SOS, both of which came out around the same time as Angel Rabbie. Also the amount of fanservice in anime openings is very odd. It shows up in openings for series that aren't even ecchi, like this '80s action kaitou series I've been watching called Cat's Eye (I would still be watching it but it disappeared from Crunchyroll, so I have to find a new place to watch it). There's not a lot of nudity, but there are some disturbingly suggestive poses and silhouettes of the characters in leotards that don't leave a whole lot to the imagination. None of this reflects what happens in the actual series; it's just pure fanservice. Still, I tend to not watch it where my parents can see. 😅 That being said, I do forget how many ecchi series there are out there. I generally avoid those, though years ago I watched an anime called "Project A-ko" which was kinda ecchi (in retrospect, knowing the guy who introduced it to me, I should've suspected it would be). I also once watched a "cleaned up" clip of a hentai series called "Venus 5" on KZitem which is basically a hentai of Sailor Moon with some Wedding Peach elements. And even the "cleaned up" version was not very cleaned up. (This was years ago; that kind of thing would never be allowed on KZitem nowadays I think).

Most of what I watch is a bit of new stuff while catching up on things that caught my eye back in 2015-16 when I was at Uni because I didn't have a whole lot of time, as well as slowly going through CLAMP's backlog. With this system of mine I was able to watch some great shows such as 'Otherside Picnic', 'Snow White With The Red Hair' and 'xxxHolic' all of which I've started reading because I wanted to find out what happens next after the amine ended.

Wow, of all the anime to randomly get, Utena is a classic. Really great story, absolutely baffling metaphors about very heavy topics, banger soundtrack. 10/10

You uncovering the mystery of the vndb mascot is the last thing i expected from this - and there are *a lot* of plot twists.

'I don't know what was going on but that was awesome, that was really sick' Yah.. that's a good summation of everyone who has ever seen the utena movie but not the anime.

Thank you for this video and the ‘Spin Dot Moe’ idea! 👍 I need to try this. It’s bound to give ridiculous results. 👀 I would like to see if we can narrow down the options a bit. 😅 I watched Utena just a few weeks ago. The old version. The new anime version is.... well, different. 😅 Personally, I gave it a 5/10. 😳 The anime is very symbolic throughout but it was also perhaps, too metaphorical for my taste. 🤔 Thank you for this video Lextorias! 👍

you can use filters and only have it choose between specific kinds of shows. i think you can even hook your MAL account to it and have it choose from your watch later list. I just chose to spin with no filters for the full random effect

UTENA let’s freaking go! Was not expecting something I know being on this list. Fun fact the first time I watched Utena was on a watchalong streamed by crunchyroll Hime (vtuber) she’s a big fan of Utena

So that piledriver in Tenbatsu Angel Rabbie looked a lot like a different variation of the piledriver, look up Adam Page's Deadeye finisher and it's basically like that except of course in the show she's trying to kill the golem in the harshest way possible by snapping every single vertebrae in its back lmao

Love how thorough your commentary is regardless of the anime you're covering. I was super suspicious of where you'd go with the first one, but I ended up enjoying your thoughts on all three shows. Would definitely watch you react to more!
