* [[Trope Codifier]]: OneBringing ofthe these[[Mind Screw]] to [[Real Life]], there's more than one codifier:
** ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' (1995): This is a must for anyone who is interested in dark psychological drama and eschatology. They don't call it [[Gainax Ending]] for nothing.
** ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' (1997): Compared stylistically to ''Rose Of Versailles'', ''Revolutionary Girl Utena'' (''Shoujo Kakumei Utena'') aired in Japan in 1997. It couples a shojo dueling story with elements of chivalric romance, Jungian psychology, and a surreal thriller. Its post-modern narrative and feminist themes distinguish it from any other anime ever made.
