Does this show ever get good? The lead protagonists have absolutely no chemistry, one of them doesn't even seem to have any particular interest in whomever she's engaged to.
I'm on episode 6 and based on everything I know about her thus far, she doesn't seem to care about any of the characters. She just roots for whoever has won the duel up to this point.
Utena herself is a great character, but the Anthy is a horrible character. She seems to care about all life, but she doesn't take accountability for any of her actions towards other human beings, and she's completely oblivious to the ramifications of said actions.
A special kind of autism.
At least you can look forward to Anthy getting slapped a lot

Is that really going to be the only explanation for why she's such a bad character? "Autism?" Is this really considered the cream of the crop by yurifags?
Or are you stating that I'm autistic for not understanding such a poorly written character?
Anthy being locked into this dumbed-down form is part of the plot, IIRC. Her true self is being suppressed.

I've heard only praises to this anime, and not only by yurifags. I never give a damn about what yurifags say, if I listened to them then Marimite would be great, and to be honest, it was so bad that even the doujins had better plot. The only yurifags anime I liked so far is Oniisama E. And this come from a guy who likes yuri porn, but yuri anime usually is crap.

That depends entirely on whether you think Evangelion got better or worse as it went on.
Too deep for you I'm afraid
Try something more up your alley like SAO or Naruto.

It gets really good around ep20. The early episodes are good on rewatch, but seem pretty weak when you're watching it for the first time.

Despite what /a/ will tell you, it's overrated as fuck.
Too repetitive, characters act inconsistent as fuck to push the plot forward, and everyone is far too shallow for me to give a shit about.
As usual Ikuhara can't write a decent story so he masks everything behind retarded 2deep4u symbolism to try and seem smart.
>>154259700
Other people might disagree with me, but I think that if you aren't hooked by the end of the first arc you're never going to get into it.
Anthy being the way she is is important, and you should note the way that she's nearly a blank slate at the beginning but all the duelists are projecting something onto her.

This is true. You really do need to watch the show twice to really get what's going on.

Anthy is one of the best written characters in anime, actually. And you're on the right track to interpreting it.
>>154259700
Just watch Penguindrum instead, it's better in every way.
Anthy is literally the best character in the show. Keep watching.

Been a while since I watched it, but can't remember what end of the world car rides were meant to symbolize. What was the deal with that shit?
