AAAAAAHAHAHAHAH IT HUURTS

I watched Yuri Kuma and liked it. I decided to watch Penguindrum and Penguindrum was way better then Yuri Kuma.

I'm afraid if i watch Utena it might be better then Penguindrum.
>>
>>143898774

It is.

Utena is great

At least it's perfectly in character.

I'm going to save this image for when i most likely fall in love with the show.

blind or stupid?
also no white man can flip over a car hood like that. to much disco boogie needed.

don't worry it gets worse
>>
>>143898774
Why would you be afraid? The most good anime the better. Penguindrum is amazing but Utena is a masterpiece.
>>
>>143899414
Cause i want to believe nothing can top Penguindrum.

Watching seasonal anime really helps with that.
>>

Dick in the ass
Also, I thought this was a yuri show?
>>
>>143898648
Man, you could open a can with those noses.
>>
>>143899534
It is.
>>
>>143899534
It is. It's mostly about gender roles.
>>
>>143899534
It has everything. Straight, gay, lesbian, incest, interracial.
>>
>>143899658
Even beastiality and Mechanophilia.
>>
>>143899729
When?
>>
>>143898774
Both Utena and Penguindrum had great first halfs but became mediocre in their climaxes.
Yuri Kuma was mediocre all the way through.
>>
>>143899622

It's actually about AdolescenceandGnosticism. The yuri and gender roles are just Ikuhara flavor for people who couldn't understand the ending
>>
>>143900617
D) All of the above.
>>
>>143899223
Akio is Indian therefore white

think of it as a white guy picking up an asian beauty and pick it back up
>>
>>143902773
>he's like white because he's not black

what?
>>
Is this the anime equivalent to Ulysses?
>>
>>143900617
late post but
>adolescence
>when they are all almost adults
eh.
>gnosticism
fancy word for chivalry to the point of holiness. I guess it fits Utena though I'd say it's more about purity of heart or some shit, why else would Utena be the one to break the seal?
>>
>>143902773
Indians are nowhere near white but they are ugly and small in reality so you're not threatened by them.

Utena > Mawaru >>>>> cancer >>>> Yuri Kuma Arashit

>>143899223
Not BLACKED, she got DESIGNATED
>>
>>143906410
you just don't GET IT
>>
>>143906290
Almost adults? But Utena is only like 14, I forgot how old were the other ones but I'm guessing not that much older
>>
>>143906452
Actually, I get it. That's why I think it sucks.
>>
>>143906290

> When they are all almost adults

I think the idea is that they're still in a transition/adolescence of sorts because everyone's still technically teenagers, and they haven't taken on the life of an adult in terms of responsibility and mindset.
>>
>>143906485
they are supposed to be that old? seemed like they were 17 to me.
>>143906540
But part of the catch to the series is that there are no adults. No one ever grows up or leaves the school until the end, probably because they're all already dead
>>
>>143906767

Exactly, but the transition is there nontheless, or at the very least all the characters know they'll have to face it, and a character like Akio is manipulating them to get the wrong idea about what adulthood really means, that you can just shirk all your responsibilities and still have the power.

At least that's how it seemed to me.

The student council (apart from Miki) were 17, the rest of the main student cast were 14, and the little kid who fixated on Nanami was about 11.

Never stated in the show so is irrelevant, but you tried.

>got some stupid nonsensical garbage
>that stupid fucking last half with the car shit

Holy shit i couldn't bare sitting through this trash, fucking himemiya's storyline was annoying to listen and watch through. It started off kinda interesting but goddamn was it a let down
>>
>>143907018
Who are you quoting?
>>
>>143907018
it starts off kind of meh and gets better at the black rose saga

>>143907018
Maybe you should watch the movie it has everything you want and Akio becomes a joke
>>
>>143907429
>a joke
He's still the antagonist at the end of the movie. He's just a different person, more of a physical representation of literal male privilege.
>>
>>143906958
>Never stated in the show so is irrelevant, but you tried.
They say Utena is in middle school in the very first episode, I don't remember if they say the grade but with that is easy to assume she's 15 at most
>>
>>143907706
I tought Juri's fucked up friend was the main antagonist
>>
Read the manga you twats
>>
>>143907774
easily the worst part of the movie, no reason for her to be like that. She crashes before akio shows up anyways.
