      A show based on the big liberal revolution (you know, the gui-better one) did inspire the aesthetics of Utena, so kinda yeah

        watching rose of versailles made me go "ok i mean there's clearly some inspiration, but i wouldn't say it's that big of an inspiration - OH I JUST GOT TO THE DEZAKI VERSAILLES AND I SEE IT NOW"

        they did that but they fumbled it

        alternatively, if you have a massive brain like my own it's possible to say they did that and it was called iron blooded orphans

            shot for shot remake of adolescence with the wfm characters. wouldn't match up with them at ALL but it would be funny. imagine all the people who only have a vague idea of what utena is watching that

              WfM and Utena movie

              Playing with the weird time shit like Adolescence, but it's a prequel and "Suletta" is actually Eri and the car transformation sequence is just Eri becoming Aerial lol

                vague wfm and utena movie

                lmao

                i was thinking about who to map to each character but wfm just does not have it like utena does, it doesn't work. i keep going "should eri be shiori? that's so unfair to shiori though, and i don't know who juri would be"

                the things i feel certain of are that chuchu is wakaba and at the end when everyone is turning into cars she turns into the demi barding, that elan would be touga (shitty show touga represented by elan 5 and movie touga by elan 4) and saionji would be guel (showing up in the wakaba car with no explanation for why he's nice now, just like guel becoming the good ceo with no explanation after he gets that really good episode on earth that really seems like it's setting him up to sympathize with earth and maybe fight for them)

                  spoiler

                  My brain can only picture Chuchu in a regular school uniform (like Otori's) with a sukeban skirt lol
