ARTICLES RELATED TO Revolutionary Girl Utena - Music | | | |  Revolutionary Girl Utena - Music: Encyclopedia II - Revolutionary Girl Utena - MusicThe series' musical score -- with lyrics largely written by Ikuhara himself, and scored by J.A. Seazer -- is considered exceptional by many fans and is among its most memorable features. While each episode opens with the energetic J-pop song "Rinbu Revolution" (Round Dance Revolution), Utena's signature song is undoubtedly "Zettai Unmei Mokushiroku" (Absolute Destiny Apocalypse), which plays each time Utena makes her arduous way to the dueling arena. This song, along with those played during the duels themselves, are composed in a style whic ...

| | | | Revolutionary Girl Utena - Music: Encyclopedia II - Revolutionary Girl Utena - Inspirations Riyoko Ikeda's The Rose of Versailles and Oniisama e are established sources of inspiration for Utena, visually for the first and thematically for the second. Osamu Tezuka's Belladonna of Sadness and Ribon no Kishi (the story of a young princess cross-dressing as a knight) may be other strong ones.
Another major inspiration, evident in the use of Gnostic themes, is Hermann Hesse's Demian. The Student Council's oath is paraphrased from the book, as well.
During the duel preparation sequences, Utena's outfit changes slightly in what is perhaps a friendly parody of the magical girl genre. Likew ...

| | | | Revolutionary Girl Utena - Music: Encyclopedia II - Revolutionary Girl Utena - Visual motifs Repeated motifs feature strongly and powerfully in Utena. Many scenes are reused—exactly or almost so—in several episodes. This may have been a practical consideration on the animators' part to reduce production costs, but it also lends a ritualistic sense to many of the repeated scenes—such as the Student Council's ascent, or Utena's entry to the dueling platform.
The use of color in the series alternates between serene and striking, while the world feels angular and modern, from the faces of the characters to the design ...

| | | | Revolutionary Girl Utena - Music: Encyclopedia II - Revolutionary Girl Utena - Themes A visual influence by Gnosticism can be found in both the anime and movie, with Ohtori Academy as the illusory world and Akio or (more likely) Anthy as the Demiurge. By its plays on such archetypal figures as the Prince, the Princess, or the Witch, and by the symbolist role carried out by such plot elements as coffins, thorns, or castles, Utena can be seen as the quintessence of the Postmodernist fairy tale.
It should be noted that the series addresses sexual themes quite often, including yuri (lesbi ...

| | | | Revolutionary Girl Utena - Music: Encyclopedia II - Revolutionary Girl Utena - Composition The 39-episode Revolutionary Girl Utena TV series was created by some of the same production staff that made Sailor Moon, including writer and director Kunihiko Ikuhara. However, the creator of Sailor Moon, Naoko Takeuchi, was not responsible for Utena; nor did the Utena manga author Chiho Saito have much control over the anime, though rumor has it she co-wrote the first season's scripts. Ikuhara is perhaps better known for his contributions to many episodes in Sailor Moon's third season, the most se ...
