Young Utena has been given ring by a prince when her parents passed away. When her best friend ,Wakaba,is insulted by Saionji,the kendo captain ,she challenges him to a duel .Whoever wins the duels has the posession of Anthy,a Rose Bride with the power to revolutionize the world. This anime has themes of gender roles and harm they bring to both men and women,patriarchy,misandry and female opression. I love both Utena and Anthy,such well written girls .The ending is a hope for the future. The animation is very good for 1997. This really became one of my favorite shoujo anime .I absolutely enjoyed it. Well done,J. C. Staff! 9/10.
