Wow Aelanie, I really liked this!
The thing that spoke to me the most (which is unusual in an analytical piece) is the passion with which you wrote it. You must really love U/A...in the kind of way I very much do myself.

I think I recognized it because I've never felt as strongly about a fandom in my life...as driven by it to thought, imagination and creativity.
You did a great job of arguing canon Utena/Anthy, and of summing up what makes the anime a masterpiece.

Also I'm about to rewatch it with the girl I'm dating and I'm scared for similar reasons you mention to preceding your own re-watching experience...scared it won't be as mindblowing...and actually scared of the intense emotions I feel when watching it. Watching it in order...omfg. Plus what if she doesn't fall for this series...and how could anybody not fall for it...

Thanks again for this analysis - it reminds me of a lot of the moments I drooled over in that so-subtle U/A relationship, and has got me thinking deeply about some of your interpretations.

Are you Cuddly? If so thank you for making that thread, it was what prompted me to take another look at Utena after ignorantly dismissing it out of hand as... I really can't remember what I thought then.

There were a lot of points in your new report that I felt taken aback by, Utena's pacing was transcendent? Really? But anyway still great, and I definitely agree with the general gist of what you said hehe.
