I just started watching Revolutionary Girl Utena, it’s my first time watching so I didn’t even realize it was appropriate for Pride, just a total coincidence. But I’m so glad I torrent. Fuck all of these streaming sites.
it’s like THE gay anime. it’s the one that gets referenced most, people still talk about it 27 years later, it gets mentioned in every list people make of “here’s 10 anime that have gay people in them!”, it’s the best one by a country mile, and now the only legal way to watch it is to spend hundreds of dollars on the blurays or watch it in 480p on youtube (which is a crime given how pretty it is)
Yeah, it’s pretty fun so far! I’m on episode 10. The weird thing is, I keep having a very strong sense of déjà vu like I’ve seen this show before. Déjà vu may even be an understatement, I know I’ve watched it but I don’t remember watching it. I even remember scenes or sometimes predict how scenes will end, but I don’t remember the show generally and I couldn’t tell you how it ends or even what the best episode is about. But, so far at least, as I begin watching new episodes I’ll ‘remember’ a little as it goes. It’s so weird. I wonder if I watched it with someone long ago and totally blocked it from memory but the scenes trigger some flashes of recall as I go along? Anyway, just feels very mysterious to me and I wanted to share because it’s a silly thing to feel so mysterious about.
I’m really enjoying the show though! I really recommend people torrent it if they want to watch it. It’s like 40gb or something but it’s better than 480p on YouTube, that sounds terrible.
That’s fucked up.

huh. this experience is just like revolutionary girl utena
and yeah you should torrent it or buy the blu-rays if you can afford them (there’s 3 and they’re like 50$ each)
Just finished it. I understand what you meant now. Haha
Wow, what a beautiful show!
