	Revolutionary Girl Utena - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The main character of Utena is an androgynous teenage female, Utena Tenjou, who was so impressed by a kind prince in her childhood that she decided to become a prince herself, and cross-dresses as a male.
		Utena turns into a pink car (which is in fact a symbol for Utena being Anthy's mode of escape from her world) and they kill Akio, escaping the fantasy world of the school once and for all on the remains of the "Utena Car".
		The sword with which Utena fights most of her duels is called the Sword of Dios; the audience is led to believe that Dios's essence is somehow contained within the sword, and in many of the duels his spirit is shown entering Utena's body and semi-possessing her, helping her to win.

	THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Revolutionary Girl Utena
		Revolutionary Girl Utena is a strange, strange series that seems to draw heavily from the tradition of two pioneering series, Princess Knight, and probably more importantly in this case, Ikeda Riyoko's Rose of Versailles.
		Utena crossdressing and swordfighting is downright normal compared to the ritualistic and backstabbing student council members, the -err- demonstrative groupie Wakaba, and the seemingly at first milquetoast (but quite insane, thank you very much!) Anthy.
		Revolutionary Girl Utena is strange, strange stuff, and though its inconsistency and odd pacing undermine an promising start (comparable to Evangelion in this case), this show is guaranteed its share of fans, as well as a few detractors.

	Review: Revolutionary Girl Utena
		Anthy is a very quiet girl and the apparent girlfriend of a rather popular fellow on the Student Council, but when Utena happens upon some of his most unchivalrous treatment of her, she challenges the rogue (he happens to be the captain of the school's kendo team) to a duel.
		Utena sounds a little less spunky than she did originally, but turns in a good performance in general.
		To reiterate, Revolutionary Girl Utena is a unique piece of anime; the story is a tale of self-discovery told through a mix of down to earth characters, mysterious forces, and grand fairy tale themes.

		Revolutionary Girl Utena is the brainchild of former Sailormoon director Ikuhara Kazuhiko and Be-Papas that was supposedly supposed to be a cry against cliché magical girl anime and sort of a dark satirical play on it.
		Revolutionary Girl Utena is about Utena Tenjou, a junior-high student at Ohtori Academy who has the memory of a prince on a white horse who comforted her after her parents' death.
		At Ohtori Academy, Utena decides to defend her friend who was ill-treated by one of the upperclass-men Student Council members and that's when all hell breaks loose.

	Otaku Reviews - Revolutionary Girl Utena
		But Utena soon discovers that she is not the only one at the Acedemy with a rose-signet.
		Utena's nobel character and desire to protect Anthy from being used as a pawn draw her into the duels, but she remains a part from the other dualists--all student council members--and their letters from the End of the World.
		After seeing Utena climb the seeminly endless flight of stairs to the duelling arena, it is quite a relieve to see her get an elevator in the third saga.

		Revolutionary Girl Utena may first appear as the stereotypical shoujo anime with its candy-bright characters reminiscent of a skittles package; however, far more lies beneath the surface.
		Utena Tenjou, the tom-boyish main character of this series, is an eighth grade student at the academy.
		Utena was given a very special signet ring from a mysterious prince when she was young.

		Soon afterwards, a mysterious prince saved Utena from drowning, at which point Utena swore that she would strive to be like her unknown benefactor and become a prince herself.
		When Utena discovers the mysteries of the Rose Bride and the Castle in the Sky, though, it seems the strangeness of her life had really only just begun.
		If all shojo (girls) manga was like this, I think we'd be in for quite a revolution in Japan in a couple of years.

		And the girl's love of the prince determines her personality from that day forward-she strives, not to become a princess, but instead to grow up to be a prince just like him!

		Years later, Utena has come to Ohtori Academy searching for her lost prince while at the same time she has decided that she wants to be a prince herself.
		While Revolutionary Girl Utena is heavily influenced by a number of sources from the shoujo classic Rose of Versailles to such non-anime sources as the Herman Hesse novel Demian, the end result is something original, unique, and also highly surreal.
		Utena also does happen to have a large amount of recycled footage particularly in regards to the dueling scenes, and later on, certain scenes related to the discovery and recruitment of new duelists.

	: RevolutionSF - Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie : Review
		Utena's fellow students, though, are just as fractured psychologically as she is. Some are wracked with guilt, some are blinded by passion, some are dominated by their own lack of self-esteem, and at least one has been turned into a cow (hey, don't ask me, okay?).
		Utena, at first isolated from the world and people around her by her own preoccupation with her inner torment, finds her barriers being broken down by two things.
		The first is the aforementioned duels; Utena holds a strange fascination for the duellists already at the academy, and discovers during the course of them that she holds a power within her that threatens the noxious status quo of the academy, which keeps all the students walled away from each other inside their own pain.
