Hot Gimmick.
I first bought this manga back when I was 14 and didn't realize how abusive and controlling the guys in it were towards the main character.
But then years later I found it again on Mangafox and found others by the same author relating to the same abuse like rape/torture. I kinda wonder if the author was touched up by her dad or something as a kid. Her shit isn't normal.

It could have been heavy on character development with dramatic scenes of best friends dying in each other's arms.
Like honestly, if you gave the basic plot to 5 different writers, I bet you could get 5 different stories with a bit more substance than "gigantic tits and also some zombies".

>>79142aw, anon.
this is one of my favorite series, but not for the reasons that you're citing. anthy/utena's friendship/romance was never the point of the series imo. to me, the show was a lot more about maturing…there are a lot of metaphors about abusive/unhealthy relationships throughout the show, though, so I can get why you might think that. the only reason why Anthy/Utena's love for one another is perceived as so 'bootyful' is because it's supposed to be in contrast to all of the flawed relationships that we see otherwise. In the end (at least in the series) even that's kind of a lie, though.
The tone of the series felt kind of cynical at points, to me. It makes sense reading the additional material provided with the box set, because it sounds like Kunihiko Ikuhara was going through some shit at the time. One of the reasons that I love the series so much is because at the time I watched it, I was wrestling with some of the same issues. Watching that show didn't exactly lift me out of my depression or anything, but it did really help me to cope.
as for myself, I hate the people who just write it off as a lesbian soap opera without trying to think about it from a less literal perspective.

I wouldn't call it bad, but at the time that I was reading it (early teens), the kids getting molested/raped went WAY over my head. Of course I knew that it was a truly awful thing but the severity of it didn't occur to me until I sat down a few years later and suddenly remembered.

On the contrary, I don't like the live action drama, mostly because the actors are bad, aside from the one who plays Kyoko and Moko. I never understand why they need to cast Korean idol-actors whose lines would be dubbed in Chinese anyway, and they are so stiff whenever I see them in scenes.

This anime was my first disappointment I've ever experienced with watching anime. Before the anime "K" came out I saw who would be animationing it. The style brought me in but it was the fact that not only would it be pretty it would be animated well too.
I have STILL not finished this anime. I tried dubb and sub. The story is just so bland and the dialogue is shit. The characters don't get really development what so ever and everything is kinda just rushed along. Side stories and characters that could of progressed the story? Ignored. It's literally just a picture book animated. Pretty style. Decent animation (only fluid animation/ animation in 1's for like fight scenes) but you might as well mute it and just look at it.
