Revolutionary Girl Utena Ep 16-18: Reverse Peter Pan

About this episode

The hosts discuss episodes 16-18 of Revolutionary Girl Utena, touching on themes of drama and character development while sharing personal updates.

We hit the midway point this week. In the real world, Joe has begun a new gundam series and Sarah has retreated back indoors for now. Some things never change. In Utena, we get a return to gag episodes with the cowbell of happiness. Then we jump right back into drama as we revisit Juri’s whole deal and see if we make any progress there (we don’t). Then we check in with our favorite elementary school kid and see how he’s liking his role is society. What’s this? He doesn’t? Well, he is just a kid after all…
