anime hot take; if utena was released in the 2020's, it would have had the kind of fandom in which certain fans would be fangirling over touga and akio and arguing about who should end up with her because they're "dark" and "hot" instead of screaming at the screen that she runs out of that academy of creeps asap.

you may think i'm exaggerating but the kind of stories marketed to straight women nowadays... big yikes...
