Ok, let's get this out of the way first. This is an anime which borders on hentai, so if that bothers you then this is not for you.

Now then, what makes this so great? Not the plot, this is more or less a typical Mahou Shoujo, there is a (probably evil) plushie which gives girls powers, the animation is fine, not amazing not terrible, and the characters are mid as well.

BUT the MC is just so good, she is just evil, there is no real motivation, no tragic past, no desire to protect, no goal to achieve, no force majeure. She is just a girl ... with an unhealthy obsession with magical girls, and an insane obsession with trampling the purity and bravery of these heroines.

Utena is my ideal kind of villain, one who is evil because they feel like it, who has an obsession with aesthetics, who is fine with dying and losing if it fits their obsession, and tossing away everything that does not.

It's just so good to see an MC who is just evil. Utena is just insane and evil, that's all, that is what makes this show great.
