This series has become one of my favorite even if I've only seen the first twelve episodes... In fact It's nearly become an obsession, so I read quite a lot of spoilers and, well, what I've read is just encouraging me in that way ^^;
Yeah, it's completely weird. I love weird anime (my favorite of all times is Lain). It's pure shoujo. I like shoujo a lot. It's full of pretty boys and gay/lesbian innuendos. I'm a yaoi/yuri fan. So logically I like Utena a lot :)
The thing I liked first was this self-derision, this way to use every shoujo cliché they can... the biggest clichés being the characters themselves - and particularly Touga, who makes me laugh a lot because everything he does claims "I'm the archetypal playboy". Well, I guess Touga is my favorite character in this series... Even if I like Utena herself a lot. She's a great character indeed, very human in this world of caricatures... And her story is cute ^o^
Well, I would not recommend Utena to someone new to anime, it's far too surrealistic ! But for someone with quite a culture in anime it's quite funny, and for someone who likes weird, oniric stories it's... simply unforgivable not to see it !
