It is so fun seeing everyone's perspectives on this series! Although I have to disagree with you on Nanami centric episodes. They are just as important as the rest of the series. Nanami is Anthy's mirror. (Notice Anthy is represented as the color purple and Nanami is yellow, that is very deliberate). So a lot of what Nanami is going through mirrors what Anthy went through in the past.
On that last bit, wait til Part 3, as much I exaggerate the early Nanami episodes, it is to make a point of how silly they are. But trust me, that back half of the series is where shit gets serious imo, I do get where you're coming from tho ☺️
“pre romantic gaslighting on his part” “tepid friends with benefits to egg somebody on” “one sided minor gaslighting of ideals” “basic lesbian denial” IM CRYINGGGGG
NGL while they certainly were heavier on straight comedy than most, even before the egg episode's ending recontextualized every single Nanami episode to me and got me thinking about their 'place' in the narrative being stronger than expected, I never thought any of them were out of place with the tone or vibe of the setting. Biggest surprise to me overall when watching was just how much absurd or comedic over-the-top stuff Utena in general was filled with, and the non-duel-related Nanami episodes just happened to bring the most of that out into the forefront. Even at some of its most dramatic, the show can be goddamn ridiculous, and it's better for it.
33:09 isn't he an elementary school kid? The tail end of it but elementary school? Also Nanami's treatment of tsuwubaki is indicative of how both of them are children. They don't understand dating. I mean all of them are kids
Please watch the other parts before thinking I'm "hating" on them, I even stated in this very part they have some merit to them and I make it very clear by Part 3 they have good elements to them. 💖

I love how the dress you’re wearing is something last episode ending Anthy would wear ❤ looking gorgeous.

I’m so happy when I find new video analysis about Utena ! Can’t wait for others 🥰
Utena fans we can’t get enough of overthinking and over analyzing everything 💖💜
Utena vid pops on my suggestion tag, I click 😍
I’m up for watching every single Utena review video on UA-cam. So happy I just found yours. Thank you
Very nice analysis. I had no idea about a lot of the background with Be-Papas! You've clearly done a crap-ton of research.
I'll be keeping an eye on this, because this looks very interesting in terms of deep dives into this fantastic series.
This was a serious effort and well planned. I don’t get why this doesn’t have 20k views, it’s fantastic.
Can't wait to watch it after i get home!!!!
Here's hoping you enjoyed it!
well done! looking forward to the next videos.
6:09 honestly a dragon coming out of Utena to eat Akio would too satisfying
your style is so cute!! seriously a great video. so much fun to watch
This was a very impressive series you made thank you
It's comments like this that made me glad I spent a year hyperfocusing as massive as this.
Thank you for watching it 💖
I loved this video a lot! Its cool to hear about tv shows like this
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
