This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Each clue describes a (nonexistent) TV series called "___utionary Girl Utena." All you have to do is name the shows. For instance, if the clue is, "This show is about a girl whose life's dream is to operate a guillotine," you say, "Executionary Girl Utena." As a bonus, if you get them all, their first letters will spell out a word. Please put all answers and guesses in spoiler tags.
• This show is about an athlete who is brought in midgame to cover for a teammate.
• This show is about a girl who helps write her nation's founding document.
• This show's Catholic main character seeks spiritual forgiveness for her sins.
• This show's title character can't keep straight who said what: "As Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote, 'Do you like green eggs and ham?'"
• This show follows a girl who enters criminal law in order to partner with Miles Edgeworth and William Jennings Bryan. (No, it is not Revolutionary Girl OnlyInThisLight.)
• This is a show about a girl who turns from a fish into a reptile, then into a small mammal, and finally into a human.
• This show is about a girl who tries really hard to keep the promises she made on New Year's Eve.

Malna, you rocked this! Your #4 answer is not mine. "There's no evidence that Voltaire ever said 'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,' even though the quotation is commonly ___ed to him."
In #8 your thinking is exactly right, it's just not quite how we say it. The word is [electrocution(-ary)]!
And #9 you've left blank! I bet you can get it, though, if you haven't already!

At first I believed that your additional clue meant that #5 was [Objectionary], which was really funny but didn't fit the acrostic clue. I'm pretty sure I've got it now though.
