Revolutionary Girl Utena

The power to revolutionize the world!

On TV Tokyo

A surreal, philosophically dense coming-of-age drama that uses duels, gender transgression, and symbolic abstraction to interrogate identity, power, and the cost of growing up.

"Never lose that strength or nobility, even when you grow up." When Utena was just a child and in the depths of sorrow, she found salvation in those words. They were the words of a prince, who bestowed upon her both a ring and the promise that it would lead her to him again. She never forgot the encounter. Now a teenager, Utena attends the prestigious Ohtori Academy; however, her strong sense of chivalry soon places her at odds with the student council and thrusts her into a series of mysterious and dangerous duels against its members.
