Revolutionary Girl Utena/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Many people have only seen the (very wildly alternate universe) film version, partly because it's easier to find on torrent sites and partly because it was the only version released in places like the UK. (And, okay, it's known for its [[Fan Service]] as well.) It's also been shown at some LGBT film festivals, giving it exposure outside the anime fandom.

** The series was partly based on the novel ''Demian'' by [[Hermann Hesse]], which most anime fans wouldn't know because it's never mentioned ANYWHERE EVER. Particularly, the egg speech is a direct reference - expect anything else which references the egg speech to be assumed to be referencing Utena.

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]:

** [[Fan Dumb|Some fans]] view Akio as {{spoiler|as much a victim of circumstances as Anthy}}. If applied in fanfiction, this usually results in him getting the [[Draco in Leather Pants]] treatment.
