Hmm... Totally forgot how... shocking Utena is. Of course when the main protagonist is a pink haired girl who likes to save other girls and be a prince herself... and is obviously bisexual... well, you expect some sexual hints. But these obvious sexual hints are not small undertones like I remembered, these are bright red banners, screaming.

I forgot that not just Utena, our protagonist, but everybody else has... non-conformist tastes or wishes. Before I list some, I must repeat that the series is full of complex symbols, hints, and phallic symbols like swords, towers, powerful red sports cars and of the female side I can only remember the roses that run rampant; lots and lots of dewy roses and rose carvings, rose crests... roses everywhere.

And the sexual undertones are just as strong to match the heavily symbol-loaded imagery. I sort of forgot how much sex actually went on in the series. Not on screen of course, never on screen, always and only in hints. But man, those hints...

Although yeah, some of these made me a little less certain I intended to watch Utena any more. It's kinda strange how watching two guys trashing about on the same bed makes me feel a bit iffy. Maybe it was the unrealistic part. I hope I'm not about to become a homophobe. Although I didn't feel iffy when Utena was having fun with the girls... and no, I'm still not interested in girls. I just don't really care.

These are a few screencaps that I felt were... interesting...Male readers, cover your eyes or skip the rest please, unless you prefer guys.
