These both examine how women are often forced into certain archetypes and burdened by societal expectations. Both narratives challenge the viewer’s perception of the female leads and supporting characters, using symbolism and unreliable narrator with a complex storyline that is tied together under the surface. Fujiko plays more with the different portrayals of women in media, with one queer character having references to Utena, while Utena is more focused on gender roles and queer identities. Both provide feminist commentary with their female leads defying societal expectations and offering a deconstruction of their archetypes. The art and music are also very unique and a pleasing addition to their respective anime!
