Revolutionary Girl Utena is a meaningless show.

you genuinely have to be a japanese theater scholar to get anything out of it, everyone else is a poser

That isn't true though. Although my older sister works in theatre so maybe talking to her so much is part of why I was able to get it.

It just requires more thought than your average anime is all. Man, is there a less obnoxious way to say that?

You get about as much as you put into it, my brainlet friend.

It had great aesthetics. Disappointing yuri bait otherwise.

...and you are a meaningless existence.

>>161886489
No, there is one guy that keep posting thread after thrad about how bad Utena is.

>>161886786
Probably just some brainlet.

Therefore it is meaningful.

What was the deal with the stopwatch

>>161887885
Come on /a/ someone has to have a good theory

>>161888190
Time is at a standstill in Ohtori, as seen through Mikage. The stopwatch implies that Miki is in the process of figuring this out.

I thought I had seen a few more of these threads than usual.

>>161885923

One guy or people that know what they're talking about? Occam's Razor says the latter.

Typical plebeian reaction: to hate when you do not understand.

This pic is so sad.

Miki is the student council's record keeper and his job is to transcribe every statement made during meetings. He uses his stopwatch to time exactly when someone says something and how long it takes them to finish. He also uses it outside his job for timing seemingly random things because he's an autistic dork.
Among all the symbolism in Utena the stopwatch is the one 100% mundane thing that doesn't mean anything deeper.
