Line 22:
* [[Faux Symbolism]]: Various weird visual cues, the most common being rotating stylized roses, which don't appear to have any particular meaning. Ikuhara doesn't help either: he gives vague, non sequitur comments like saying the Shadow Girls are aliens (which ''would'' explain the repeated flying saucer imagery in their performances...). On the other hand, the pointing fingers in episode 22 seem to stand for [[Ship Tease]].
* [[Freud Was Right]]: Lots. Take Akio's car for example. Or his tower, or his projector, or... let's just say Akio provides the majority of this.
* [[Growing the Beard]]: The first arc is fairly generic and lighthearted, and despite common mentions of End of the World, it hardly feels like a massive shadow is looming in the background. In the Black Rose arcSaga, however, things get a lot more [[Darker and Edgier|sinister]] and [[Mind Screw|weird]].
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The scene in the movie where Anthy convinces Utena to let her sketch her in the nude actually came out the same year as ''[[Titanic]]'', which had the same infamous scene ("Draw me like one of your French girls").
** Apparently Akio's car is a corvette. Now what color is his corvette?
