The prince gave Utena a ring, and told her to grow up to be noble and strong, and that they’ll meet again one day.
There’s no doubting that the Utena television series is full of action; but a little later into the volume we are introduced to something we find very little of in both the manga, or the movie.
Utena is just as likeable as ever, and the rest of the characters do a good job at being weird and funny at times.

Utena soon meets other members of the school who wear the rose seal, and she learns that the wearers of the seal must duel each other – the winner of the duel is then engaged to Anthy Himemiya, the Rose Bride (bara no hanayome).
Women are asserting their position in society.'[5] Utena is thus self-consciously produced from within a discourse that is concerned with women's desires and resistances to their social positionings, and Utena's revolution is as much about the feminist uprisings of the 1970s as it is about the French Revolution.
While Utena's revolution of her world with all its gender and sexuality-bound restrictions may not be available to us in the 'real world', this utopic fantasy is pleasure enough in itself.

Touga admires Utena’s strength and nobility and encourages her to actually keep it up, even though Touga wishes her could be her prince and have her as his princess.
Utena changed Touga from the playboy he was in the beginning to the gentleman he becomes in the end.
If Utena never became the prince and didn’t want to do anymore protecting, she and Touga would probably be a great couple, for all that Touga wanted to be was the prince Utena never had.

Utena continues to be a series where I wish all 39 episodes had been released at once, because even a minute wait between volumes is sheer torture.
The next two episodes is huge part of the culmination of the Black Rose Saga, as Utena begins her exploration of Mikage’s world, and we spend practically an entire episode with Mikage as we go into his dark long past and learn what really happened in that building all those years ago.
Utena’s starting to reach her breaking pointing dealing with all of this, especially after she discovers pictures in Nemuro Hall of all the students she’s had to fight lately.

 Shoujo Kakumei Utena: Adolescence Mokujiroku
Utena's long hair is now a boyish bob, and Anthy has traded in her glasses for a more girlishly attractive appearance.
Where before, Utena was a naive but strong-willed girl trying to become an ideal prince, now she is a hurt soul denouncing men.
In turn, Anthy is no longer the eerily passive Rose Bride who submits herself to the victor of the duel, but an aggressive participant who hides little of her immediate attraction to Utena.

 THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie
Utena is flawed and confused, but she is even more determined and honest.
The second we see Utena enveloped in giant car wash sponges and emerge as a shiny pink corvette after what is most possibly the DUMBEST magical girl transformation scene in the history of anime, we knew it was all downhill from here (both literally and figuratively).
Utena fans will adore it (especially the Dance in the Rose Garden, the best part of the movie *faints*) but I would not recommend seeing this movie without at least seeing the first half of the TV series, which is available here in the states by Software Sculptors.

 Project Anime Network: Shoujo Kakumei Utena / Revolutionary Girl Utena
In the first episode of Utena we meet Utena who seems to be a tom-boy, outgoing, and very aggressive girl.
We then see Utena one day looking out the window and seeing a girl named "Himemiya Anthy" and her supposed boyfriend "Saionji Kyouichi." When Utena sees them, Anthy and Saionji seemed to be having a quarrel.
I must say Utena is dub fairly well, for American standards that is. Here is another review of the dub, the author there had said that the dub was utterly horrible.

Utena Tenjou is a new student at the Ohtori Academy, where everyone seems in awe of certain sword-wielding students called duelists.
Surprised to see her ex-boyfriend Touga in campus, Utena receives a signet ring from a rose similar to the one he is wearing.
The movie Utena is not as self-assured as the TV Utena -- she is more withdrawn, and it seems that her originally more impulsive nature has been traded in for a more cautious attitude.

Ikuhara had a joke about developing Utena as a "regular show" in his response to the sponsor-driven Sailor Moon: "I was worried that Utena would not go by without having to use a magical baton, but it turned out okay," referring to the Sailor Moon gimmicks that were turned into toys.
Still, Ikuhara said at the panel that his favorite Utena character was the monkey Chu-Chu, which may be the series' best-selling toy.
One fan, mesmerized by the sights of the Utena movie, openly asked Ikuhara if he was on acid when he thought up that film.

In doing some research on the "Revolutionary Girl Utena" show, however, it would appear that the character choices for most cards are satisfactory; at least, in the opinions of the UTENA fan discussions I have read.
