why do you have to die tomoko kawakami? im your fan... you inspired me... soi fon from bleach, utena from revolutionary girl utena, fuyuki hinata from sgt. frog, ai mori from law of ueki, rosette christopher from chrno crusade and of course misuzu from air tv.... i'll really miss your voice so much... im going to admit when i heard the news i almost cried T_T...i salute you... RIP...
The animated cartoon of UTENA was made by Unification Church's constructing to China, slaughtering people in east Turkistan, and making it to the soul.
Well, their sexuality is a trifling matter...whether they are gay or not, it is a genuine love after all. RGU's important theme is "What is the noble girl's life?".
Even if they are lesbian, I think nobody can say that Shiori is nobler than Utena and Anthy...and Juri.
this ending takes a while to get used to especially after the first ending is freaking awesome, but this one slowly grows on you and becomes a catchy little song
para mi opinion, ella es bisexual, pues le gustan los chicos pero se termina enamorando de anthy, sobretodo en la pelicula donde demuestra a ver estado enamorada de touga y ahora de anthy
ikuhara, utena's director, always wanted some yuri between utena and anthy, but the mangaka didn't want to, the anime has yuri subtext, but in the movie he did what he really want to, utena and anthy like a real couple at the end... I've never said that utena is lesbian, i said she bi(sorry for my poor english u.u)
@FantacyOfNaruto You're right, it was Kamiya Maki who sang this song, at the request of director Ikuhara, who heard her vocals on a CD of a band she had been part of.
That's the same thing I'd like to know... I had no idea there was a second season- or that Anthy ever lets her hair down for that matter (personally, I like it much better straightened).
Anthy lets her hair down as the end gets closer and I suppose this could be considered a second season, though the entire series is divided into four parts: the movie, The Rose Collection, The Black Rose Saga, and the Apoclypse Saga. I hope that helped.
Hells666singer, actually the four parts are these: Student Council Saga (Seitokaihen, episodes 1-13), Black Rose Saga (Kurobarahen, eps 14-24), Akio Ōtori Saga (Ōtori Akio -hen, eps 25-33) and Apocalypse Saga (Mokushirokuhen, eps 34-39). The movie is just a teenage-style interpretation of the series.
utena only seems yuri becuse the director if the show made it that way..the origanl manga doesnt even cross the shoujo-ai border line...anthy and utena are just close friends.
Utena isn't a manga adaption. The director of the anime is credited with being the creator of the franchise. It started out as an anime concept first and split into a manga, that was released first. Few things in Utena are overt so you can interpret how you wish to. It took me years to accept that Akio and Touga were doing it together.
Utena is a yuri story. For the TV series, Ikuhara had to keep it subtle because Chiho Saito (the manga artist) threatened to quit if he made Utena and Anthy overt lovers. However, the manga was finished by the time the movie came out, and he went all out. I suggest you see it if you have any doubts.
I don't really consider Utena yuri in the least bit. It barely borders on shoujo-ai even, I'd say. I mean, there are a couple moments and scenes, but most of the time Utena and Anthy are just close friends, Utena more-so protects Anthy as opposed to loving her. The movie is arguably more on the shoujo-ai side, but that's a whole other subject.
I completely agree with you, even though Utena and Anthy are very close, it doesnt mean they are a couple <w<, I love their relationship as friends, but not like lovers @.@, but... well that´s open to everyone, so dont get angry with my opinion ÇoÇ
I wouldn't even call it a yuri. It has some f/f romance, but I don't think it's centered enough to be the main focus. I would call it a shoujo with bisexual overtones or something (because they aren't really lesbians). xD
Interesting ending theme, very Utena-esque. By which I mean that it's quite similiar to the Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku theme. Gosh, I really feel like I should re-watch this series now.
I was hoping someone else would make note of this earlier, but since no has...this song isn't actually performed by Kawakami Tomoko (Utena's voice actress). It is sung by Kamiya Maki, who was hired for the job after director Ikuhara Kunihiko heard her vocals on a CD she made with a band she once belonged to.
Acabo de caer en la cuenta de q la sombra de Utena esta desnuda, jeje, me sonrojo (no me lo creo ni yo xD)Este ending es el mejor!!! Pero porq escondieron el beso?? Ahora me enojo, malo sr. Ikuhara XDDDD
I think the director made this anime very well. To me, it's like an animated artwork. Everything means something, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem.
I never really read the manga for some reason. I think they sort of changed Juri's character for the anime (among other things) so I just wasn't that interested. v_v
His eyes half close in pleasure at her touch. "Never." He promises, still grinning playfully. "You would be much better company then Rober', I would think." He teases, tossing Bobbie a wink.
"No, Jean. Lord no." He takes her face in his hands, kisses her reassuringly. "The thought of your having my baby is amazing." He promises, seperating them slightly.
I Love Utena!!! Adoro este anime aunque tenga muchas cosas herméticas mi alma no deja de fascinarse con su magia oculta ^^, y su simbolismo encantador; aunque a veces debo decir desesperante! jejeje

It can be considered yuri, but it isn't pornographic.
The most main canon pairing you can see happening is UtenaXAnthy, but there are some UtenaXTouga moments.
