Revolutionary Girl Utena/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** And just to prove once again how flexible the fourth wall is in ''Utena'', the Akio that wants to keep Anthy in the academy's world in the movie {{spoiler|is Anthy's own [[Alternative Character Interpretation]] (of sorts) of the real guy that died ages ago. Something similar seems to be the case with Touga.}}

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: When the series and film were relicensed by Right Stuf for a new DVD release in 2011, quite a few sighs of relief could be heard from fans who had not been able to purchase the old DVDs. And from those who ''had'' been able to purchase the series before, but found Central Park Media's releases to be sub-par, Right Stuf's relicensing of the series came with the announcement that they'll be using the remastered video from the Japanese rerelease of the series.

* [[Base Breaker]]: Anthy, Anthy, ''Anthy''... see [[Alternative Character Interpretation]] above and [[Internet Backdraft]] below for the details. Also, depending on what part of the fandom you're looking at, Touga can be anything from an over-princified [[Draco in Leather Pants]] to a much-loathed [[The Scrappy|Scrappy]].

* [[Non Sequitur Scene]]: The ''[[Monty Python]]''-esque "Nanami Cow" segment in [[The Movie]].

* [[Crack Pairing]]: Miki/Juri has some vocal fan support. As far as crack pairings go, this is a somewhat reasonable one (the characters interact on a regular basis, move in the same social/extracurricular circles, and, of the Student Council members, seem to get along the best).

* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: {{spoiler|Utena sacrificing herself to save Anthy's soul may be one of the most heroic of [[Heroic Sacrifice]]s in anime history.}}

* [[Ear Worm]]: The opening song "Rinbu Revolution," along with many BGM tracks (''especially'' "Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku").

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Juri is one of the most popular characters by far.
