well I enjoyed utena enough to buy the whole series and the movie (and I identify with Utena way too much). do you have a linky to the essay?

I think what hooked me to utena was:
A) I just understood Utena herself (I am completely like that with my friends)
B) the opening sequence
C) duels rock

Actually it was only the very last story-arc that threw me. The finale just did my head in. I loved it, but didn't completely understand it.

Linky It's on usenet.

Funny that I don't identify with Utena at all. If anything I identify with Anthy, but it's a long stretch.

the duels are cool, but I love the whole symbolical feast of it ! and the mindfucks, incest, and very twisted outlook at people's relationships. Oh, and the fucked up fairy tales aspect.

Utena works on a thematic and symbolical plan. Sometimes trying to make it work in a pure sequential / logical way doesn't make sense. You have to think about what things mean, what they stand for. IMHO.

yes you're right, it was just I couldn't help be disappointed a bit as I was enjoying it on both levels up until that point. but still, I watch the damn thing over and over :)
