Overview

Utena Tenjou's parents died when she was a little girl. At that time, a prince appeared to her and gave her a signet ring with a rose crest. He told Utena to keep the ring and promised that they would meet again someday. Utena was so impressed by him that she decided to become a prince herself! Utena is all grown up now. She studies at the Ohtori Academy and wears her own version of the boys' uniform. She still looks forward to finding her prince, but in the meantime, it's up to Utena to save damsels in distress and cross swords with Ohtori Academy's top duelists. When Utena unwittingly wins the "Rose Bride" in one such duel, she finds herself in the middle of something else... something that just may lead her to her prince.

It's funny and very understandable that for Mickey, eating illusions is more important than reality, because it's much easier to do than accept it. At the beginning, he and Utena talked about the same thing - freedom for Anfi, but thought aside plus manipulation on the part of Toga, and Anfi turns from a person into a "newfound radiance", his magic cure for the feeling of loss (did he invent it?), thereby acting as the same jailer as and Saenji. During the duel, he states:
- The bride-Rose will play the piano for Me.
And Utena rightly asks:
"On Your Orders?"
Memory is such an interesting thing. Kozue says that she had no talent, and the whole piano playing was supported by a genius brother. However, according to Mickey's romanticized memories, he is to blame for the "destruction of the radiance." Excessive veneration of man and his elevation to an inviolable pedestal are also inhumane. How coldly he treats his sister now that she has fallen from the pedestal on which he put her and her piano playing.
It's a great series, I really liked it.

I would allow myself to compare the Duck with the Russian classics: It's like reading Dostoevsky in the ninth grade. I think this is the reason for such a "weak" popularity, few people perceive the thing to the end, and this is not reading material for the ninth grade.
Anime is very strong and memorable. Incredible graphic techniques, the mystique of what is happening, mesmerizing music and many interesting bright characters did not let me go until the end of the series.
The very essence of the project, in my opinion, is built amazingly! There is a certain society (that rots in all epochs) with its own traditions (as always ridiculous and immoral) and is locked in a limited space (in this case, the school, and it should be noted – the choice is excellent, this is exactly the institute that all the viewers visited, and it is not as complicated as, for example, the government). This society cooks in itself and rots from the very earth to the very sky.
And now Utena is invading. A certain person with a different point of view, she came from another society and all this immoral and inhuman is alien to her. And, oh gods! She's not a rag. Society does not break it, and even if it tries hard, it is unlikely to succeed. And so the beautiful Duckling breaks stereotypes and turns the world upside down.
