My review and analysis of the anime utena


For the Issue December 2022 of the German Compact Magazine, I wrote review and analysis of the anime utena. I talked about the Rosicrucian and Freemasonic Symbolism in the Show, the Fact that the dormitory where Utena resides looks like the house of Japanese Poet Yukio Mishima, the whole symbolism behind akio ohtori, the meaning of the term revolution (I talked about how Julius Evola used a similar double meaning in his book "Revolt against the modern world"), how the opening of the series employs Nietzschean Themes of the amor fati concept, how the series connects to the book Demian by Herman Hesse and how the series is connected to Sailor Moon.

(Sadly, I was unable to convince Mandy to Cosplay as Utena Tenjou yet. LOL. aside from Haruka Tenouh, Utena is one of my favourite female anme chars.)
