Utena's definitely something. I kind of wish I watched this before Penguindrum though since I enjoyed that quite a bit but I think I would have appreciated it more with Utena as a context. I think watching it the other way feels like it sort of cheapens what's meant to be a more character-driven show as far as I can tell since my brain immediately distills the events on screen and the experiences of the characters as just another iteration of the same themes from Penguindrum which felt more social-commentary oriented. In other words, I don't feel myself invested in the characters at all, but maybe I'm not quite meant to yet. Just going about watching very slowly because the person I'm watching it with keeps dodging : ^ )
Tokyo esp looks cool and I'm trying to avoid reading the manga haha
