Hate to use the word “deconstruction” but it takes place in a private school overruled by a student council, which is a typical archetype in anime but it gets combined with themes from fairy tales and classic literature. The first season is like a setup to the overarching plot of the show and introduces the characters. As it continues there is a feeling that “things aren’t like they seem” and the motives of the students, like why they choose to participate in the duels, are explored in detail.

There is also a lot of strange humor in the show, which reminded me a lot of the jokes in Twin Peaks after I watched the latter. If you like David Lynch or Herman Hesse the series is absolutely worth trying

Yeah. A lot of people dislike the second season because it’s incredibly repetitive, but the last third of the show and its finale are really good. For the second season I would recommend the episodes that focus on the main characters (Nanami, Saionji & Wakaba, Juri) or to just watch the final duel between Mikage and Utena because the song lyrics of their fight explain that he’s the ghost of a dead teacher being manipulated by the main villain, and that the school is in its own closed off existence.

it's a fucking anime
also it's nothing like kill la kill, which is a loving parody of action anime meant to be pure dumb entertainment
meanwhile utena is an artsy pseudodeconstruction of the shoujo (female-targeted) genre with a lot of opaque symbolism and psychologically complex characters, not really an action show at all even though it does contain sword fights

Sot Weed factor is such a gem
>real depth to the characters
>rape is never not funny
>amazing mix of high brow and low brow
>the subplot IS the main plot somehow
>also the novel ends incredibly well.

Stick with it, it may seem large but honestly I wish it were longer.

>>12315560
*shrug* Read Eben's actual poem the sot weed factor(main char was a real human bean & a poet). I think barth does a great job capturing the time and the season, and I think it's more comfy than picturesque.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 31 09:54:26 2018 No.12318027 >>12317975 Pretty good. If it means anything to you, it's my favourite of his novels. Like Confessions, it's clearly very semi-autobiographical. Almost a spiritual successor.

at first, I thought; OK cool, I enjoy boats, talking dogs, the time period and the cozy setting, wait why are we on this fricking island for so long? I need to pick it back up.

Tried reading GR at least 3 or 4 times due to the memes and some of the language is truly beautiful, but boy is it weird. And don't get me long I do love me some weird, I think this last time I stopped at either the dodo bird hunting tirade or when he goes all gay nazi bondage chapter.

maybe Ill have more luck with against the day.
