fWotD Episode 2399: Revolutionary Girl Utena Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Wednesday, 29 November 2023 is Revolutionary Girl Utena.Revolutionary Girl Utena (Japanese: 少女革命ウテナ, Hepburn: Shōjo Kakumei Utena) is a Japanese anime television series created by Be-Papas, a production group formed by director Kunihiko Ikuhara and composed of himself, Chiho Saito, Shinya Hasegawa, Yōji Enokido, and Yūichirō Oguro. The series was produced by J. C. Staff, and originally aired on TV Tokyo from April to December 1997. Revolutionary Girl Utena follows Utena Tenjou, a teenaged girl drawn into a sword dueling tournament to win the hand of Anthy Himemiya, a mysterious girl known as the "Rose Bride" who possesses the "power to revolutionize the world".Ikuhara was a director on the television anime adaptation of Sailor Moon at Toei Animation in the 1990s; after growing frustrated by the lack of creative control in directing an adapted work, he departed the company in 1995 to create an original series. While he initially conceived of Utena as a mainstream shōjo (girls' anime and manga) series aimed at capitalizing on the commercial success of Sailor Moon, the direction of the series shifted dramatically during production towards an avant-garde and surrealist tone. The series has been described as a deconstruction and subversion of fairy tales and the magical girl genre of shōjo manga, making heavy use of allegory and symbolism to comment on themes of gender, sexuality, and coming-of-age. Its visual and narrative style is characterized by a sense of theatrical presentation and staging, drawing inspiration from the all-female Japanese theater troupe the Takarazuka Revue, as well as the experimental theater of Shūji Terayama, whose frequent collaborator J. A. Seazer created the songs featured in the series.Revolutionary Girl Utena has been the subject of both domestic and international critical acclaim, and has received many accolades. It has been praised for its treatment of LGBT themes and subject material, and has influenced subsequent animated works. A manga adaptation of Utena written and illustrated Saito was developed contemporaneously with the anime series, and was serialized in the manga magazine Ciao beginning in 1996. In 1999, Be-Papas produced the film Adolescence of Utena as a follow-up to the television anime series. The series has had several iterations of physical release, including a remaster overseen by Ikuhara in 2008. In North America, Utena was initially distributed by Central Park Media starting in 1998; the license for the series has been held by Crunchyroll since its 2023 acquisition of Right Stuf and its subsidiary Nozomi Entertainment, which acquired the license for Utena in 2010.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:24 UTC on Wednesday, 29 November 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Revolutionary Girl Utena on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Joey Neural.

Show Notes 0:00: With two big topics to discuss, Justin and Helen dive right into all the news that happened in the past two weeks, starting with breaks for mostly health reasons, except possibly for one of them. Licenses 2:48: Seven Seas once again had Wonderful Wednesday announcements: Then they had a NOT Wonderful Wednesday […] The post TheOASG Podcast Episode 181: The Two Hosts Talk A Lot About Summer Season and Right Stuf appeared first on TheOASG.

I took a vacation (again) and didn't watch anime (again) but I did do some other weeaboo activities (again) and I'm here to talk about them this week including the joys of Tearmoon Empire and The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Really Really Really Really Love you and the pains of Jujutsu Kaisen's 236th chapter. There's also a small rant at Crunchyroll for killing RightStuf (like they said they wouldn't) and discussing the agony of becoming a Disney adult.

Fall is here but we have to wrap up these summer shows before we can dig into the early entries for the fall anime course. Kestrel, Cain, and Kate have a ton of news to run through including the end of Right Stuf because we can't have nice things. DJ sends us his regards from his mansion by way of  list of what he's been watching. Plus we have recommendations. 

This is perhaps our most tragic episode ever, for not only have we lost our sole sponsor Right Stuf due to Crunchyroll shutting it down, but Clarissa is reviewing The Poe Clan, one of the great shojo manga masterworks by Moto Hagio. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

On this episode of Otakuology, Mike & Jin discuss the breaking news that swept over the anime community. It's the end of an anime era. Right Stuf is officially shutting down its online store and getting folded into Crunchyroll.

In what will hopefully be my last news roundup episode ever, Geoff and Yazy return to discuss all of the explosive anime industry news of the last few months, although we spend most of the time talking about how Sony buying out RightStuf will make it a lot harder to import hentai into Canada. We also talk about Uzumaki's constantly delayed Adult Swim Canada airing, and how somebody really, REALLY needs to stream the rest of Inuyasha in this country. I mean, come on, what are they waiting for?

Mike & Jin discuss the news about Crunchyroll buying Rightstuf anime. And what that means for the anime/Manga community. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/otakuology/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/otakuology/support
