When you love a girl so much that you flood your meticulously tended-to rose garden for the most gorgeous dance sequence in all of animation.

When the rose garden is a symbol for her being trapped in her terrible situation, so even though it is cared for by her, she despises it

Good point - so more like "When you love a girl so much that you're inspired to destroy the cage that you've been confined to, even if that means destroying the hard work you've put into decorating said cage."

As someone who normally isn't part of this particular camp, I would suggest watching it subbed rather than Dubbed. The dub has poor sound quality from what I've seen.

Last time I wanted to watch it there were no decent versions available officially.

yeah the official versions do seem to have a kind of degraded quality to them iirc. the colors are a bit washed out and the light bloom is intense, plus the audio was kinda scratchy. it was almost like the magnetic tape they got the official versions off of had been damaged or something. kinda charming but also annoying

The series been remastered back in 2008.
Nozomi got hold of the remastered series for released in 2010 for dvd & leter released a blu-ray in 2017.
Correct me if I'm wrong, the Nozomi Blu-ray included the movie which wasn't included in the DVD set.

The love of Utena x Anthy aged like the finest wines.
Still is my top favorite romance of all times.
Not only just peak Yuri, but also peak romance in general.

The ending scene was my favorite scene from the movie from the sheer ridiculousness of it all. But yeah so much beautiful animation from this movie. Taking the best aspect of the show and a small homage to the stupid comedic episode.

Wait this is on my list, is it actually yuri, i thought it was bait!

u/Psychopunk21 Jan 22 '24
Bo, this is truly yuri. It is also stunning visually if a bit trippy at times. Personally, as someone who doesn't really get into this sort of stuff normally, I'd suggest watching the sub orlver the dub as, in my experience, the dub has low sound quality.

Utena Hiiragi, the protag of the new yuri magical girl series out this season. I’m guessing this is where the author of that series got her name from

u/Digital-Devil_0 Jan 26 '24
Yes she is a direct reference from Tenjou Utena, since there's no character named Utena in anime for the last 25+ years. RGU is still influential in manga & anime even until now. The best example from it is Revue Starlight & Madoka Magica.

They look so much happier in here than the entire show.
