So I'm watching Revolutionary Girl Utena for the first time and I'm realising there's tons of hidden symbolism and missable details in every chapter.
is there a spoiler free, comprensible guide to not missing any detail in Utena?
One example is on chapter 5 as Mickey gathers the student council there's a frame that shows a whole apple on a chair, after Mickey displays is distrust in the student council the apple is shown cut in to buy shaped pieces.

Just watch it blind
Then go back and rewatch it after
How the fuck could a comprehensive guide to interpreting a work of fiction exist? There are too many different subjective interpretations for that. But there are many analyses out there, so don't be lazy and just read a bunch of episode reviews until you find writers you like.

You have to be a sophisticated intellectual to watch this anime, sorry kid . . . you might not measure up . . .
Just rewatch later.

Rewatch it later when you don't have to pay attention to the plot
>>144145447
Just pay attention, rewatch it and pay attention again, then come up with your own interpretations and discuss them on /a/.

Out of curiosity, what's your first language? I've noticed that confusing "chapter" for "episode" is a common mistake.

You rewatch it. There isn't really an alternative for Utena - not least as half of the foreshadowing hasn't been given the slightest at the point you've reached.
First time through, just enjoy the ride.
