Thought this was a fandub until I watched the whole episode:

Utena: rose bride? Giving me the power to bring about the revolution? What the flip are you on about? You guys don’t actually believe in all this do you?
The same girl who in every episode, pulls a magic sword out of her roommate’s boobs and shouts “Grant me the power to bring revolution!”
Nanami episodes are my favorite episodes.

Swan doing what it's evolved the long neck for - eating plants from the bottom of the lake, where other grazers can't reach. If the neck is still too short, it tilts the whole body forward for extend its reach.

Went to Utena for the car boot sale. No tools for me, everyone was selling the same rusty spanners I already have a garage full of. We got a nice stainless ice cream scoop for our kitchen. So on the way back I had to buy a 2.5kg tub of vanilla ice cream 
@vaviurka scored some reclaimed buttons and a knitting book from 1978.
Met a guy selling Irish newspapers. Turns out he'd lived there a long time and was as happy as me to chat in English for a bit.
It is in Anthy's contract that she gets slapped in the face every episode. Her agent was very insistent.
Hey hey! So there might be something to my Lynchian vibe-ometer going off around Utena. The director, Ikuhara Kunihiko, once remarked in an interview that he would love working with David Lynch someday:

Revoutionary Girl Utena, cumulative slap counter - ep2:
I think part of the Lynchian feel to Utena is the approach to gender expression. Like, is this a man? Yes. Is that man also that woman over there? Yes. Which is the princess? Yes. Wait did that girl just say that other girl is her boyfriend? Yes. Please. Elaborate on that. No.
So, I mean Lynchian in a sense that the writer/direector feels no pressure to explain their world where it breaks our usual rules. It’s kind of refreshing.

If women were religiously
Recognized sexually
We wouldn't have to feel the need
To show our ass-ets to feel free
Been there, done that
Got the t-shirt
Sold my soul

Watched the Utena movie. It was fine. Actual yuri. I can see why people love Utena if they just watched this. Probably the best to just watch this too.
If you watch the anime first, the movie feels more like... Sorry! Nanami, the chairman, the black rose arc, the plot, trying to make Utena straight... Sorry! All mistakes! Deleted!
I approve of the sentiment. However, I still wish they could have somehow taken the good 
stuff of the anime story and retold it in the movie.
Utena was, uhh, artistic and trippy but also very male fantasy and a bit of a stinker. I'd really like to file the stink under criticism of real life but it's a bit tough...
There was some yuri in the show, can't deny that. It just felt like a footnote compared to how much all the straight, uh, activities got screen time. But it was something, considering the times?
For an old show, it was kind of fun, I guess. Best enjoyed with a chunk of salt and no yuri goggles, though.
