I remember seeing somewhere that this was a spiritual sequel to Utena. Is that true? Is it any good?
They share staff in one or two people, I think.
in relating it to Utena, it's got highschool duelists with an episodic progression contributing to an overarching storyline and both created by Enokido. Utena is much darker but SD has its very real moments. most of the complaints i've seen local to /a/ are related to the formulaic episode layout of "introduce opponent, give background info, conflict, fight, end episode" but it wouldn't really work any other way. Also complaints about Takuto asspulling victories but that's general dumb shitposting. I was hooked from the first episode as I have a weakness for mecha-romance and shrine maidens (especially singing ones). watch it or don't, a lot of people liked it and you'll usually get a reply or two if you make more threads but it's like 6 years old at this point so nobody's even around who was here at the time of airing anymore. Just watch the first episode and check out the op/eds as they're great.

Why don't you watch it and tell as later?

It's fun, but not as good as Utena. The tone it's different.

>you'll never watch Star Driver with /a/ again
>>138678450
Watching it with every week with /a/ was a blast. I don't know if watching it now, all at once, can compare.Innocent Blue is the best Maiden song. Monochrome shitters go home.
>>138678450
It's not.
Enokido is not Ikuhara.
>>138679280
Fuck, Is SD really six years old?
This has to be a joke

The only good thing that came out of watching Captain Earth was learning this existed, and subsequently that the Little Prince did too. Good book.

Are there people who don't think think Innocent Blue is the best?
>>138682251
Most people liked Monochrome best back in the day.
>>138682251
I'm fonder of keito's song.
>>138678450
Shit anime with a shit ending. Bitch not being to choose her man even though she clearly loves galactic boy made the ending even more shitty.
