What does /a/ think of Utena? Is it a complex, compelling shoujo

It's the story of the alpha harem protagonist that so many anons have been asking for for years, who adds one more girl to his harem only for her to fuck up everything.

too good to post on /a/, delete this thread

Stupid teen drama full of one-note characters and cliches. You think THIS is deep? You must be nuts. Get out of my face.

>>160863638
depends who you ask
/r9k/ robots think akio is the real protaganist and did nothing wrong.
/u/ thinks it's amazing and one of the best yuri works
/pol/ thinks it's homosexual interracial propganda to get white women to leave men and form families with indian women.
/y/ gets butthurt that it was yaoibait until the end
purityfags cry endlessly about the time akio date raped utena (or just fucked her, depending on your perspective which people still argue endlessly about)
waifufag brainlets cling to "hurr hurr pretentious 2deep5me! ikuhara sticks his dick in a symbolism flesghlight"
chill /a/ people ask questions to understand more and discuss its themes
it's basically evangelion but shoujo,so the threads go about the same as the evangelion threads, just without the waifu wars

there, you can close the thread now, those are all reactions.

>>160864178
>EVA minus waifu warz

Yeah, basically. Its weird because most of the cast is made up of women. I guess none of them are really waifu material.

>>160863638
>pretentious
Stopped reading right there.
Why do you bait so hard OP?

>>160864476
Juri is my wife.

>>160864476
yes, but they're all most lesbians, bisexuals, or women who actually want to have sex... which for most of /a/ completely destroys their appeal as waifus.
>>160864531
treat her nicely shiori

I want to literally fertilize Nanami's egg, if you know what I mean.

>>160864891
not everyone on /a/ is an angry, bipolar autistic manbaby gone off their meds

>>160865129
Obviously, but we're talking about how it comes off as a whole. Granted I only really go to the media-centric boards, but /a/ is easily the one with the most easily hostile, irritable, nervous and angry people.

>>160865338
Anon was talking about threads on /a/ and associating different opinions with different boards.

>>160864832
It's a shame really.

Utena has some top-tier waifu material, most notably Utena herself.

>>160865430
can't pretend like certain attitudes don't leak over from other boards. It's why /pol/ doesn't work as containment. Not very board is going to exist on its own. That said /a/ isn't half the shitshow that /v/ is

>>160864832

Shiori can't treat anything nicely.

>>160863638
Neither also kill yourself for typing this.

Utena fucked a darkie

Penguindrum > Utena > Gaybears

All are 8+/10, though.

>>160869096
The darkie was the one doing the fucking

>>160869174
Dropped

>>160863638
Watching the webm of Utena losing it to Akio really shook me the fuck up, and I'm not entirely sure why.

>>160870068
sandwich

Childhood is thinking Akio was a villain
Adulthood is realizing that Anthy was the antagonist
Accession is realizing that the true villain is that punkass Dios

>>160870068

Akio is an uncomfortable guy to be around.

Wasn't Dios just a brown boy version of Utena?

> fancy progressive symbolism

What could they possibly have meant with those crazed barnyard animals rampaging through the corridors of a high school? It really is beyond me /a/

who /wantstorideutena/ here?

>>160871422

I just want to hug her, Akio.

>>160871414

It's half actual symbolism and half visual gags mixed together.

>>160871183
Dios was a bitch ass nigga and you know it. Fucking fruity tea sipping shit who thought way too highly of himself. Calling himself a prince when really he was just an arrogant playboy that let his sister become a witch.

It's a damn good series that's been long overdue its classic status.

But I shall say that Penguindrum and Yurikuma deserve more love.

>watching the musical
now... that was really an experience

>>160872374
it is a classic, no matter what newfags say

>>160871422
No, being friends is enough
>>160864476
I'd like to liberate Anthy, because she looks another girl I like. And because she has a thousand year-long sex experience and stays forever young

>>160872623
Right? I can't believe it's an actual thing that exists.

In that case I should think that Kozue would be at least somewhat popular among /a/.
