| - Shoujo Kakumei Utena or Revolutionary Girl Utena is a 1996 manga series adapted into a 1997 anime series with 39 episodes later consensed into a 1999 film.
- It tells the story of a plucky orphan, Utena Tenjou. She has very poor self esteem and therefore carefully believes the lie that someday a prince will come. Meantime she engages in hanky panky with Microsoft customer service representative Anthy Himemiya whose brother Akio, along with his gay lover Touga Kiryuu, owns and attends the school. Occasionally we are treated to entire episodes centered around the psychoses of Touga's younger sister Nanami and Utena's friend (treated by everyone like dirt) Wakaba Shinohara (no relation to Sinnosuke "Shin-chan" Nohara), who is nutty and very easy.
- Revolutionary Girl Utena(少女革命ウテナShōjo Kakumei Utena) is a manga by Chiho Saito and anime directed by Kunihiko Ikuhara. The manga serial began in the June 1996 issue of Ciao and the anime was first broadcast in 1997. The anime and manga were created simultaneously, but, despite some similarities, they progressed in different directions. A movie, "Adolescence of Utena"(少女革命ウテナ アドゥレセンス黙示録Shōjo Kakumei Utena Aduresensu Mokushiroku, literally "Revolutionary Girl Utena Adolescence Apocalypse") was released in theatres in 1999. A number of stage productions based on the franchise were also produced in the mid 1990s, including the "Comedie Musicale Utena la fillette révolutionnaire", staged by an all-female Takarazuka-style cast.

| - Shoujo Kakumei Utena or Revolutionary Girl Utena is a 1996 manga series adapted into a 1997 anime series with 39 episodes later consensed into a 1999 film.
- Revolutionary Girl Utena(少女革命ウテナShōjo Kakumei Utena) is a manga by Chiho Saito and anime directed by Kunihiko Ikuhara. The manga serial began in the June 1996 issue of Ciao and the anime was first broadcast in 1997. The anime and manga were created simultaneously, but, despite some similarities, they progressed in different directions. A movie, "Adolescence of Utena"(少女革命ウテナ アドゥレセンス黙示録Shōjo Kakumei Utena Aduresensu Mokushiroku, literally "Revolutionary Girl Utena Adolescence Apocalypse") was released in theatres in 1999. A number of stage productions based on the franchise were also produced in the mid 1990s, including the "Comedie Musicale Utena la fillette révolutionnaire", staged by an all-female Takarazuka-style cast. The main character is Utena Tenjou, a tomboyish teenage girl who was so impressed by a kind prince in her childhood that she decided to become a prince herself (expressed in her manner of dress and personality). She attends Ohtori Academy, where she meets a student named Anthy Himemiya, a girl who is in an abusive relationship with another student. Utena fights to protect Anthy and is pulled into a series of sword duels with the members of the Student Council. Anthy is referred to as the "Rose Bride" and is given to the winner of each duel. As Anthy is thought to be the key to a coming revolution, the current champion is constantly challenged for the right to possess the Rose Bride. While the show generally has the appearance of a magical girl series, it is also highly metaphysical, surreal, and allegorical. It contains a mix of borrowed visuals from Takarazuka theater, shadow puppetry, and classic shōjo manga.
- It tells the story of a plucky orphan, Utena Tenjou. She has very poor self esteem and therefore carefully believes the lie that someday a prince will come. Meantime she engages in hanky panky with Microsoft customer service representative Anthy Himemiya whose brother Akio, along with his gay lover Touga Kiryuu, owns and attends the school. Occasionally we are treated to entire episodes centered around the psychoses of Touga's younger sister Nanami and Utena's friend (treated by everyone like dirt) Wakaba Shinohara (no relation to Sinnosuke "Shin-chan" Nohara), who is nutty and very easy. The show parodies shojo anime themes, employs meta-humor, and has a strong undercurrent of homosexuality. It is Evangelion combined with Ouran and is very much the brainchild of writer and director Kunihiko Ikuhara, who recycled his Sailor Moon spec script to provide most of the material for the anime. The characters fight with swords and daggers and do some occult nonsense, and put on puppet shows to try to advance the plot. The student council has an absurdly large budget and never goes to class. They think they are hastening the end of the world, which for some reason they think will help them achieve something. The show is very suspenseful, gripping with a pace like a freight-train, and Anthy kills Utena in the end. The anime was first broadcast in 1997.
