Revolutionary Girl Utena, or Shoujo Kakumei Utena, is a Shoujo, or girl's, anime series from Japan. The Rose Collection number 1 DVD collects the first seven episodes of this series and archives them on DVD. Now, if you've never heard anything about Utena, then perhaps you should look it up on Google or Yahoo!, because there is so much to the story that one cannot hope to describe it in the space of a short review. This series is one that is so complex... that even after seeing the entire series... I still have questions. Still, this is the first 7 episodes of the 39 episode series. A great introduction to the series, so if you feel like seeing some great swordplay, a wonderful story, and even a little magic, then you should pick up Utena, the Rose Collection, vol. 1.
This is the first installment of the Utena series on DVD. An innovative and excentric series about a girl who decides to become a prince. This series is known for its surrealism and use of seemingly mystifying symbolism. Great characterization and stunning artwork. Intricate and sometimes confusing; it is not for children.
Absolutely loved this collection! Utena has always been one of my favorite animes and this season is well worth watching. It is a great introduction to the series.
After hearing the same makers of Sailor Moon made this anime I just had to watch it and try it out for myself. The beginning is a tad slow but once the series picks back up it grabs your interest. This is definitely not your typical anime.
