Spira Mirabilis Gekijou (EP#5)
Anime: Revolutionary Girl Utena
OST: Utena OST 1- Zettai Shinka Kakumei Zenya(1997)
[audio]

Revolutionary Girl Utena (少女 革命 ウテナ, Shōjo Kakumei Utena) is a manga by Chiho Saito and anime directed by Kunihiko Ikuhara. The manga serial began in the June 1996 issue of Ciao and the anime was first broadcast in 1997. A movie, "Adolescence of Utena" (少女 革命 ウテナ~アドゥレセンス黙示録, Adolescence Mokushiroku?, literally "Adolescence Apocalypse") was released in theatres in 1999. A number of stage productions based on the franchise were also produced in the mid 1990s, including the "Comedie Musicale Utena la fillette révolutionnaire", staged by an all-female Takarazuka-style cast.

The main character is Utena Tenjou, a tomboyish teenage girl who was so impressed by a kind prince in her childhood that she decided to become a prince herself (expressed in her manner of dress and personality). She attends Ohtori Academy, where she meets a student named Anthy Himemiya, a girl who is in an abusive relationship with another student. Utena fights to protect Anthy and is pulled into a series of sword duels with the members of the Student Council. Anthy is referred to as the "Rose Bride" and is given to the winner of each duel. As Anthy is thought to be the key to a coming revolution, the current champion is constantly challenged for the right to possess the Rose Bride.

While the show generally has the appearance of a magical girl series, it is also highly metaphysical and allegorical. It contains a mix of borrowed visuals from Takarazuka theater, shadow puppetry, and classic Shōjo.

The anime and manga were created simultaneously, but, despite some similarities, they progressed in different directions.

  • You know, that's really fitting, as Miki sees winning the duel and obtaining the Rose Bride as his equation for perfection-- A one-way ticket to his sunlight garden.

    And how about that ending, huh?

  • The title (Translated: Spiral Mirabilus Theatre) refers to a mathematical equation, which is like the golden rule-a thing of beauty and perfection, only it's the golden spiral.

  • Come on, this need more coments!

    Penguindrum, make more people watch Utena!

  • YOU DA MAN MIKI!

  • @tamales458 Maybe not a remake, but a live version like "Doramas" woult be freaking epic!

  • @tamales458 You have posted that same comment for several videos and I'll also repeat myself: Remake of Utena would probably be my worst earthly nightmare. Most remakes are generic and commercial trash. There are some exceptions, but reaching the high level of the original RGU series seems unlikely.

  • I want a UTENA remake

  • My favourite battle theme in SKU, a true eargasm.

  • cool and interasting ^^

  • The spiral that is discussed in this Utena song was studied by Jacob Bernoulli (and discovered by Descartes). What's interesting is that Bernoulli is related to the famous writer Hermann Hesse who originally wrote the Ōtori student council motto for one of his books. (They weren't blood-related, though).
