Podcasts about Revolutionary Girl Utena

[Actual Utena talk starts at 12:09]We finally go back and watch the start of legendary Girls Rock anime, Revolutionary Girl Utena (episodes 1-3, of course). We are also once again joined by sporadic GL anime watcher, Anna. We also talk about Hakugei: Legend of the Moby Dick, drinking wine, "superfund" sites, and anime adaptations of Anne of Green Gables and the bible. | Follow us on Apple Podcasts | Support us on Patreon | Follow us on BlueSky | We're on Threads/Instagram | Subscribe to us on YouTube | Join the fan Discord

It's time for Utena to get the Yuri classification it deserves! This movie has it all. Insane visuals? Check. Swords? Check. Cool cars? Check. Girls kissing? Check. A unique and incredibly weird but enjoyable plot? Check.Only Utena could achieve all of this within one single, albeit wildly dense, movie!Welcome to the third instalment of our Retro Anime Pride Month!Vote for our 5th episode of this month: https://forms.gle/badP4m3rmyCwctni9Support the show: https://patreon.com/animeightiesanime manga pride yuri yaoi japan animation podcast review comedy

This week we revolutionaize the world. But first, Joe makes Sarah learn facts about Star Fox and complains about realistic looking animals. Sarah thrills with her allergy test results and excitement for Love Island's return. In Utena, we have the final duel called Revolution! Utena and Anthy finally talk to one another and we learn all about how much Akio sucks. Also there's a duel but that's pretty much not the point of this episode. What's actually important is cool flying sword animations. Yeah, those are awesome!

This week we gain the power of revolution! But first, Joe recaps his adventure to Chicago and Sarah retracts a proclamation. In Utena, we get some long awaited backstory. That's right, the Kashira shadow troupe take the main stage! Then we finish off our duels with a re-rematch with Touga as he tries to prove he's more than just a pretty face.

This week Nanami tries to climb the ladder. In our real lives, Sarah has gotten a new puppy to add to the litter, while Joe has watched some less well known cartoon movies. Big stuff!In Utena, Nanami learns that family is not all that it's cracked up to be. She stays with Utena, Anthy, and Akio, which is a terrible idea. And tries to run away but barely misses the mark. Then we get a part recap-part plot imperative episode that leaves us all feeling bad. Strange to think we only have six episodes left!

This week we blow out our candles. In reality, Joe has watched the Lion King and Sarah visited a horror themed bar and performed live band karaoke.In Utena, we get a new guy who stays around for a total of two episodes. We all love a new guy! Except Juri, who hates this him and is totally justified in doing so. Then Utena and Akio share some time together and we work through our feelings on that one!

This week it's apocalypse time! But first, Joe and Sarah talk about our lives. Joe has watched more of live-action one piece and is not impressed, while Sarah has started Love if Blind and doesn't think she'd do well on that show.In Utena, we begin a new arc. New montages, new sequences, new cars! Hurray! We get back to the duels and deal with Saionji and Miki this week. Then we end on a goofy egg themed episode. Happy late Easter everyone!

This week we cap off the black rose saga. But first, Joe recounts his experience watching Eraserhead and Sarah talks about sorting her extensive manga collection. In Utena, we finish the black rose saga and try to figure out what the heck is going on. We only partially succeed. Then we get a nice clip show episode to round us out. Next week, it's Apocalypse time!

Check us out on the MangaTak podcast!The week characters emerge from the background. But first, in the real world Joe has decided to learn about Capital (the horror!), while Sarah has finished all of Survivor and is fairly disappointed in the 50th season.In Utena, we check in on Wakaba and see how things are going for her. They are…not great. Unfortunately Saionji somehow weasles himself back into the story and we end on a surprising person seizing Touga's sword.

A young girl is given a rose signet ring by a mysterious prince who saves her life... But when she grows up and finds herself at Ohtori Academy, where the student council also hold matching rings and end up challenging her to duel, what is young Utena Tenjo to do but throw herself in head first? This week, Mat is joined by Sarah and Joe of the Shoujoe Podcast to discuss Revolutionary Girl Utena by Chiho Saito and Be-Papas! As Shoujoe are currently watching Utena for their podcast, we spend a lot of this episode comparing and contrasting the manga to the anime, delving deeper into this cross media franchises' creative process before highlighting the strengths of each version of this classic shoujo story!---Show Notes---Utena Specific!---The very insightful Wiki page of Utena2017 interview with Chiho Saito and Kunihiko Ikuhara NYCC INTERVIEW WITH SAITO AND IKUHARA1998 UTENA CD ROM(!)

We hit the midway point this week. In the real world, Joe has begun a new gundam series and Sarah has retreated back indoors for now. Some things never change.In Utena, we get a return to gag episodes with the cowbell of happiness. Then we jump right back into drama as we revisit Juri's whole deal and see if we make any progress there (we don't). Then we check in with our favorite elementary school kid and see how he's liking his role is society. What's this? He doesn't? Well, he is just a kid after all…

The vibes shift this week. But first, we talk about our lives! Joe has finished Turn A Gundam and had a great time with it, while Sarah has started listening to Business Wars. In Utena, we kick off the second saga with a brief recap, then we meet the family as we are introduced to Anthy's brother Akio. We also get an idea of what the black rose means and it turns out it's a secret society?? Gasp! Then we get some cool new duels with Kanae and learn some about Mickey's sister, Kozue. I hope she's normal!

This week we finish off the student council saga! But first, Sarah and Joe catch up on what they've been doing. Joe watched the 2025 Japanese movie Kokuho and had a pretty good time. Sarah has voluntarily lounged outside for the first time in forever. Maybe winter truly is over! In Utena, we round out the student council saga with a quick duel from Nanami and her, uh, upsetting past. Then we get a two part episode dealing with Touga. Has his master planning set himself up to become the champion and revolutionize the world? Or will Utena get her groove back and maintain her title? Come check it out with us!

We return this week with our 100th episode! Wow! That's a lot of podcasting! We celebrate our 100th episode by completely forgetting about it and instead Joe talks about making a sandwich and Sarah talks about the upcoming season of Survivor. Then in Revolutionary Girl Utena it's time to meet Juri and her tragic backstory that for once, correctly does a love triangle. You love to see it. Then Utena and Anthy switch bodies in our wacky second episode. Then lastly, Saionji gets more screen time as he decides that he is the protagonist of the show actually. There's no way he's being manipulated by friend, right? No way, Friendship is eternal!

Happy Year of the Horse everyone! We're riding up on episode 99 this week. So close to landmark 100! Joe discusses his new roommate and lunar new year's party while Sarah talks about adult sleep overs and running in jeans.In Utena, Mickey and Utena face off. We learn that Mickey has a lot of ideas about things that may or may not be true. Then Nanami decides to protect herself from wild animals by getting a rather young boyfriend. Surely this will turn out okay!

Its back to school life for Utena in our latest episodes. But in the real world, we catch up and talk about our various goings-ons. In Revolutionary Girl Utena it's time to party! Anthy gets nominated to be dance queen and becomes friends with Nanami, sure hope that goes well for her! Meanwhile utena gets more quality time with Touga because her memory is worse than we expected. Then we meet the rest of the student council starting with nice boy Mickey. He says he won't duel Utena, so I guess we're safe this week!

Content Warning: Physical AbuseThis week we start a new show! But first, Sarah and Joe catch up on what's been happening. Joe has gone to the opera and Sarah considers her reality tv watching diet.Then we start Revolutionary Girl Utena with episode 1 and 2. Our hero Utena is a simple middle school girl. She goes to class, hangs out with her friend, gets involved in duels, climbs a million stairs, gets engaged. Normal stuff!

This week we say goodbye to Miyo and the gang until the season 3 specials. In real life Joe is cat sitting for his GF and learns the dangers of letting a cat physically sit on you. Meanwhile, Sarah has been hanging out and watching some horror movies. Then we talk about American animation studios for a solid ten minutes, as one does.Then we finish off My Happy Marriage, we wrap up the Naoshi arc rather easily as Arata remembers that he's a good guy actually and Miyo and Naoshi try to change each other's minds. Then in the finale, Kiyoka and Miyo set their affairs in order so they can retire to a nice quiet life with each other. Next time, we watch Revolutionary Girl Utena, which you can watch here.

J.C.Staff is a studio with a broad catalogue of diverse works. Ionatan and Ravi discuss the studio's origins making OVAs and how it often receives unwarranted criticism stemming from a lack of knowledge regarding anime production. Then, they pick their top five J.C.Staff anime, from beloved romance adaptations like 'Toradora!' and 'Nodame Cantabile' to a massively important series in the history of the medium in 'Revolutionary Girl Utena.'

Episode Notes hi everyone! with Jacqueline at Ground Control this weekend (which you should totally watch at https://www.twitch.tv/moonshotnetwork)!, and with us coming up the final three episodes of Revolutionary Girl Utena, we thought we'd put the first episode of our coverage out publicly so everyone can get a taste of the sweet sweet nectar you could be sipping if you joined our patreon perhaps......... hope you enjoy! (cw: discussion of domestic violence and racism) the bonus show is back! and this time, we've decided to cover a piece of media that isn't about the bleak worlds left in the wake of the miserable failure of leftist revolutionary movements, which is ironic because this is also the only thing we've covered with "revolution" in the name. it's Revolutionary Girl Utena! join us as we discuss this hugely influential show's impact on animation, some banging music and a thick, dreamlike atmosphere, and also some of the worst and weirdest creepy anime boys every committed to the screen! our theme is "Open Galaxy" by Sir_NutS on OCRemix! https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03963 This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

We pivot to a more blatantly-on-theme show for Pride month on this episode of the podcast: we watched three episodes ofYuri Kuma Arashi, from one of the creators of Revolutionary Girl Utena. It's confusing! We also talk about jukebox musicals, Pappyland, and David Lynch.

In this special episode, we're saying goodbye to Utena! We're doing our usual wrap-up episode to talk about Revolutionary Girl Utena as a whole. We talk about our favorite characters and whether that's changed from the previous wrap-up of Volume 1, which character we wanted to see more, what hangups we have about the manga, what type of spinoff we would want, as well as our favorite chapters and podcast episodes! We also make the announcement of what manga we're doing next! We'll be back October 16th with the readthrough of a brand new manga! *** Podcast Patreon: patreon.com/sailormanga Podcast Twitter & Instagram: @sailormangapod Podcast Email: sailormangapodcast@gmail.com

In this episode, it's time for a new rose seal! Souji Mikage, a high school student who's watching Utena, sets his plan to meet with her to save the life of his one true love, Mamiya. After meeting Mikage, Utena runs to Miki, who tells her that Mikage runs a special seminar on campus that even the faculty go to. And wouldn't you know, Anthy ends up going without telling Utena. She runs after Anthy, and there, the two of them learn the secret of Nemuro Memorial Hall where the seminars are held, and Mikage's world view is shattered. *** Podcast Patreon: patreon.com/sailormanga Podcast Twitter & Instagram: @sailormangapod Podcast Email: sailormangapodcast@gmail.com

In this episode, it's time for the five finger death punch! Juri & Ruka's training continues, and Juri gears up for her second duel against Utena. But upon preparing for the duel, Juri overhears Ruka talking to Touga, and it's revealed that Ruka didn't exactly set up the duel for the same reasons that he told Juri. Feeling betrayed, Juri goes to the dueler's field to fight Utena, leading to a twist of results, and the reason why Ruka manipulated Juri is revealed to everyone.

In this episode, it's all about Juri! This filler chapter takes place before the proper end of Utena, but right after Juri & Utena have their duel. Devastated by her defeat, Juri isn't showing up for classes or the fencing team, and with her being captain, that's an issue. Miki tries to get her out of bed yet again, but this time for a good reason: there's someone practicing with the fencing team claiming they're taking over as a captain! Juri runs to the fencing team practice only to learn that the mysterious man is actually her former mentor and upperclassman, Ruka Tsuchiya. Everything goes to hell when Ruka starts putting down Juri's recent absence, and starts teaching Utena how to fence. *** Podcast Patreon: patreon.com/sailormanga Podcast Twitter & Instagram: @sailormangapod Podcast Email: sailormangapodcast@gmail.com

In this episode, we're at the finale! It's the proper end of Utena before we do the last remaining filler chapters, and for real, get your tissues ready. Dios appears to Utena, Anthy, and Akio via the ring that Akio's wearing, Anthy begs Utena to quit battling for her, even though Utena refuses. Dios recognizes Stena's determination to defeat Akio and save Anthy, and bonds with her so she can finally become what she's always strived for: a prince. From there, the fate of our faves lingers in the balance, as the power to revolutionize the world ceases to exist. *** Podcast Patreon: patreon.com/sailormanga Podcast Twitter & Instagram: @sailormangapod Podcast Email: sailormangapodcast@gmail.com

In this episode, we're bible thumping! With special guest Pokeetris, we pick up where we left off last time. Akio reveals to Utena his exact connection to Dios, why Dios ended up saving Utena six years ago and awarding her with the rose seal ring, Anthy's role in regards to both Dios and Akio's rivalry, and then the ultimate showdown happens. It's Utena vs. Akio, and while Akio is fighting for power, Utena is fighting for Anthy, to make sure that Akio never displays his power over his sister ever again. *** Podcast Patreon: patreon.com/sailormanga Podcast Twitter & Instagram: @sailormangapod Podcast Email: sailormangapodcast@gmail.com

Revolutionary Girl Utena is one of the most unique visions of animation and storytelling I've seen in recent memory. Kunihiko Ikuhara was already riding high from his success as the Series Director of Sailor Moon, but he left it all behind to gamble on a vision. The Treehouse Anime Club pulls back the curtain on early days of Utena's production as well as the creative tensions present in the group bringing her world to life. Ikuhara took his team, and ultimately his audience, along for a crazy-ass emotional roller coaster experience that remains today as a crowning achievement in experimental storytelling.
