Summary: Utena Origins?
Review: I have to admit, I'm a pretty big Utena fan. Just ask anyone who knows me. But the episodes contained on this disc are some of the best of the series. Some people complain about the drawn-out nature of the series, dueling people over and over again, and yes, it's true that you could probably skip the entire second arc and still be able to catch up with what's going on.

However, the three episodes on Utena: Revelations are gorgeous in themselves, a delightful look on the motivations of Utena (whether she fully remembers them or not) and the origins of Anthy and End of the World, complete with images both disturbing and wonderful that provide little glimpses into the souls of the most mysterious characters of the series, as well as provide a few delicious little twists.

A highlight not to miss is getting to see the Kashira Players out of the shadows, even if it's only the backs of their heads, and a lot of what almost seems to be "fan service" with the bad boys Akio, Touga and Saionji.
