Revolutionary Girl Utena
Revolutionary Girl Utena streams on Crunchyroll. Kunihiko Ikuhara's surreal masterpiece — sword duels, rose brides, and a school that is never what it seems — is one of anime's most influential works, and it's sitting right there on a mainstream service.
About
As a child, grieving her parents, Utena Tenjou was comforted by a prince who left her a ring marked with a rose crest — and instead of dreaming of marrying a prince, she resolved to become one. Now at the prestigious Ohtori Academy, striding around in a boy's uniform, she defends a friend's honor and stumbles into something stranger: a secret dueling game among the student council, fought in a hidden arena, with an enigmatic girl called the Rose Bride bound to whoever wins. Every duel pulls Utena deeper into the academy's fairy-tale logic — and toward the rotten machinery underneath it.
