Revolutionary Girl Utena 2
Posted: January 13, 2007 Filed under: Revolutionary Girl Utena Leave a comment »This really does make me wanna watch the anime. Perhaps it’s not as cryptic as I thought it would be after watching the movie. The manga is quite a strong shoujo series with just the right amount of magic.
I don’t know how I feel about Touga, really. Either hit on Utena or don’t hit on her, but don’t be the creepy on-again off-again “oh, I’m actually manipulating you” kind of guy you’re coming off as here. He seems preoccupied with the castle when Utena bares her heart, but makes a startling revelation I do not believe at the end of the volume.
I still like Utena a lot. I do wanna see the TV series, I think. She’s quite a strong character, and I have a great deal of respect for the decisions she makes and the way she acts. I realized she’s been engineered to do these things, but what can I do about that.
