People love talking about symbolism and how figurative the show is when it comes to Utena, and while some stuff was made really obvious, there's loads of other stuff that seem like they're supposed to be symbolic or analogies of some kind but I sure as hell can't work out a consistent way to fit it all together.

Does anyone feel like they made sense of the show as a whole? For people who like it but didn't find themselves an interpretation like that for themselves, what did you get out of it?

I mean, at some point I'm planning on just writing it off as mostly just being surrealism mixed with abstracted variations on a theme of Versailles, but I'd like to give a proper attempt at understanding things.

TL;DR what the fuck was going on in this show?

Some things are there just because they look cool and don't have any meaning behind them, like Miki's watch.

The character relationships are probably the most important aspect, which is what all that symbolism helps illustrate. Not to mention the movie being titled Adolescence.

The revolution theme is also important, keeping in mind the fairy tale premise and all that attention given to princes and princesses.

On the other hand, the soundtrack is GOAT but fuck me if there's any significant meaning to the duel themes.

Seems to me you have to say that about a worrying amount of stuff in the show for it to start making sense.

Remember when Kill la Kill used to be the most popular thing on /a/ and no one would ever shut up about it, but now it's cringey as shit and instantly gets you ostracized for posting such garbage?

I can't wait till One Punch Man gets that treatment.
