So I assume that Anthy created some sort of pocket dimension with her powers with a surreal Ohtori Academy, even with a false Akio. She didn't escaped because she feared the outside world or real world, but Utena gave her the strenght and means (becoming a car) to escape, and the Driving castle was like a subconscious last defense that Anthy made to prevent her escape
You are quite right. I think Ohtori Academy is like teenage limbo. It is a place that is not quite childhood and not quite adulthood Anthy refused to grow up, and all the other people who did as well remained in Ohtori. (and all of them had a reason to do it. Utena was still damaged by Touga's death, Shiori as well and she also The castle is a representation of childhood dreams and fantasies and the inability of the characters to let go of them, and finally "graduate".
Less like powers, and more like the power of being a victim of that mysoginistic “witch” movement we had way back in history - look it up, it was horrific. People believed witches were real, people believe in sexist ideals, and that belief gives Anthy and Akio their “powers.” This stuff was so prominent in her life it literally manifested itself as the realest magic-looking weirdness ever, even if it’s not the fairytale it seems like
Close. "Utena gave her the strength and means (becoming a car) to escape" She doesn't really become a car, per se, it's just a literal representation of Utena being the vehicle for Anthy to escape.
Hey, I didn't know that kunihiko Ikuhara liked "mortal engines". As a fellow fan of UK science fiction I'm glad to know that a Japanese animator put this fantastic tribute to such a tantalizing book series
I bet those girls didn't think to withdrawal from classes before they fled. A bill for this semester's tuition and final report card will be forwarded to your parents.
Still wrapping my head around the entire thing, it's such a crazy deviation from the show but I love it. The TV series already had a really cool aesthetic, but here the amazing animation makes it phenomenal.
Man the escalating sequence of absurdity of the whole last bit is a beautiful thing. Utena is a car now, Shiori is a CAR NOW TOO, guess what it's the Student Council riding Wakaba who is ALSO a Car now. AND THEN THE CASTLE OF ETERNITY SHOWS UP AND IS ALSO A CAR.
Utena in the anime was the "vehicle" for Anthy to escape. In the film, which can be viewed as taking place "after", Anthy becomes the vehicle for Utena to escape the illusion of the school. Now awakened to their true selves, they plan to leave the illusion behind. However, this is not enough, so the school again interferes, turning Utena in to the literal vehicle now for Anthy to use in her escape.. This is not enough, however, when they both confront The Prince/Akio/Dios at the end. The castle strips away all of the outer shell of the car, symbolizing the allure to return where it is safe, and it's inability to let others escape. They both are only able to escape, together, side by side because that is what is needed. Not one person relying on the other, but the two working together to pierce the illusion. After escape they must now navigate what seems to be a barren wasteland, their vehicle stripped to its essence and themselves stripped bare of uniforms/costumes. But the sun shining through shows that good times may lie ahead, as the castle slowly fades away, the same way ones childhood/adolescence seemingly fades over time.
Utena was the way for Anthy "escape" from the Ohtori academy, the representation of childhood. She passed away from the dead of Touga and help Anthy to go outside of the world of fantasy. The movie is a big allegory for the end of childhood for the beginning of adulthood(the end of the world).
Fantasy is a prison. And the girls want to escape prison. The ultimate symbol of fantasy is the fairytale castle, so the last obstacle before they can truly be free, is to defeat the castle, and the false prince.
Stephen Jackson There's nothing really obtuse about Bloodlust. But this film makes perfect sense, too, if you just keep in mind it's all a metaphor, just about nothing about the visuals is meant to be taken literally. The castle is basically signifying how the simplistic fairy tale ideologies can trap you and keep you from reaching your full potential.
What in the actual fuck did I watch My english teacher told us to watch this for an essay and honestly I feel like he might have a few screws loose. This is the least understandable movie ever made, nothing made sense and what did make sense lasted all but a second. Worst watch of my life, why is college like this.
@@Disguised_Catit will do genuine psych damage if you haven't come up with a thematic/symbolic reading by the last third Great piece if you pick it up but it's a doozy
In the manga, it's a place. In the series, it's an illusion.
In the movie, it's a frickin' mobile fortress.
Agree with you, this Mobile castle makes look the nazi P1000 landkreuseir like a hot dog cart
Wait, in the manga is a place? How does it look on the inside?
How did the manga end?
@@Fallendown-pq1ot it's pretty bland where Utena becomes prince and together with anthy.
The last third part of anime doesn't happen
IT'S A BIG MISTAKE TO THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN TURN INTO A CAR. I'M A CAR NOW, TOO!
RW:Shiori never stood a chance,and what a lousy car she rly was.
Are the cars references to the black roses students ?
@@indorianshell That's a good observation, even Kozue and Wakaba turned into one.
@@longhoangphung4560 the black cars are indeed black roses
Fast and Yurious
HAHAHAHAHHHAAH
you are a fucking genious
Despite the weirdness of it all, I was still invested in these two escaping and cheering them on.
Power of symbolism. I saw it as Anthy escaping an abusive relationship and it felt great!
haha.....Anthy is really "riding" Utena.....
Lmao 12 years later and this year I finished the anime and this movie.
That was a funny comment
I had the chance to see this in a movie theather. The castle looks FANTASTIC on the big screen.
Shitori getting wrecked makes this the best movie ever.
The race was truly a completely bonkers and unexpected climax for the series. While also being absolutely brilliant and in line with the theming.
If I don't get myself a girlfriend who can turn into a car, I ain't falling in love.
I can't believe I'm crying. This is still as phenomenal as ever.

That girl turned into a car and i cant believe it, funniest shit i've ever seen
Oh yeah btw im newbie to the anime i just like yuri that's all
There's three types of people:
Those who get it;
Those who don't get it;
And those who are driving the car.

Can't bill your parents when your parents are dead!
1:43 ここで輪舞-Revolution-が流れるなんて！！
"That's no moon . . . it's a space station."
Cap' América understand and aproves this reference
I *WISH* I could devote my life to studying this series.
"Pimp my ride" has been taken to its logical conclusion.
A giant castle on wheels! That is some of the coolest and most creative imagery I’ve seen!!
Still wrapping my head around the entire thing, it's such a crazy deviation from the show but I love it. The TV series already had a really cool aesthetic, but here the amazing animation makes it phenomenal.
I Will always remember My first time watching this scene back in a anime conference in Lima in 2000! Those were the days
このシーン劇場で見た人はどんな心境だったのだろ
Wakaba is the best car
I always thought of the final transformation of utena, releasing the red cape as a means of having her period and becoming a full woman
Thats a nice interpretation.
この作品はtvアニメを完全に理解した上でみないと楽しめない。
HOGWARTS ON WHEELS!!
This is Acceleracers quality driving here, seriously this seems like a Racing Realm type challenge
I admit that, while watching this scene, part of me was like "OF COURSE the castle is a car" 💀
A revolutionary scene
I would have loved a Utena novel! it would have been a good read.
From start to finish,one of the weirdest movies ever made.
@rott nah they aren't as weird
And one of the best I've seen.
And one of the finest masterpieces ever made. Loved every surreal moment of it.
@rott These are just the movies I've just watched 💀
for people who have never seen the Utena movie this is a MAJOR spoiler so don't watch this clip, watch the movie first!
ディオスの動く城
HOLY SHIT THAT MOBILE CASTLE'S HUGE! It's like an RV for nobles.
More like the Technodrome!
このお城、日本のディズニーランドという説があるんですよね。
夢の国のお城(人工物)から脱出するという意味なんだとか…。
RW:I think we’ve just entered the Boss Level.
Man the escalating sequence of absurdity of the whole last bit is a beautiful thing.
Utena is a car now, Shiori is a CAR NOW TOO, guess what it's the Student Council riding Wakaba who is ALSO a Car now. AND THEN THE CASTLE OF ETERNITY SHOWS UP AND IS ALSO A CAR.
That car kinda looks like...
I don't at all remember THIS part of Initial D....
They turned our protagonist into a flaming car. This is not weirder.
you know shit is about to go off when the original opening theme song plays.
Can someone explain to me *WHY UTHENA IS FREKING CAR ???*
Utena in the anime was the "vehicle" for Anthy to escape. In the film, which can be viewed as taking place "after", Anthy becomes the vehicle for Utena to escape the illusion of the school. Now awakened to their true selves, they plan to leave the illusion behind.

But the sun shining through shows that good times may lie ahead, as the castle slowly fades away, the same way ones childhood/adolescence seemingly fades over time.
*wishes for a live action series of Utena*
That's such a horrifying idea.
i fucking love this scene
i had honestly legit have no idea what was going on in this whole movie :R
There is something so sexy about a girl who knows how to drive a standard transmission.

The best part is at 1:46 especially when the music starts up.
1:47 shit gets real
Can anyone here really explain utena? I fucking love these two together, maybe it's an interpretation of love?
I believe Utena's story is about the path to enlightenment

My who would've guessed utena also carries Letha of the seventh house of K lol
Fuck escaping to the real world. I wanna live on a fucking giant rolling castle that takes up the whole damn interstate!
格好いい！！
Are the radio girls maybe Utena cheering Anthy on while she escapes?
The Rádio Girls ARE Anthy and Utena

Who’s here from streliz?
where i sae that the First time i was like wtf?
They don't make animation like this anymore
@jovemako Agreed! I would read it 24/7!
Wait is this is an impregnation metaphor? But does that even makes sense? Considering the yuri theme?
Fantasy is a prison. And the girls want to escape prison. The ultimate symbol of fantasy is the fairytale castle, so the last obstacle before they can truly be free, is to defeat the castle, and the false prince.
