Tenjou Utena’s parents died when she was a little girl. At that time, a prince appeared to her and gave her a signet ring with a rose crest. He told Utena to keep the ring and promised that they would meet again someday. Utena was so impressed by him that she decided to become a prince herself! Utena is all grown up now. She studies at the Ootori Academy and wears her own version of the boys’ uniform. She still looks forward to finding her prince, but in the meantime, it’s up to Utena to save damsels in distress and cross swords with Ootori Academy’s top duellists. When Utena unwittingly wins the “Rose Bride” in one such duel, she finds herself in the middle of something else… something that just may lead her to her prince. … source anidb
Encoded from the JP BD. Single Audio: Japanese (Stereo FLAC). English subtitles from GrimRipper via Zero, and OCR’d PGS subs–because some of the song lyrics are gibberish the spell checker might have accidentally “fixed” some of them.
I couldn’t find a good copy of the English dub and I didn’t think it was worth it to track down the US BD just to rip it so single audio only.
I would appreciate any help seeding.

I am very ashamed, but I must admit… I never actually saw this. I heard it’s very good.

Old meme titles are don’t necessary ought to be good now. Especially weird shoujo.

Good thing that supposition doesn’t apply to Utena seeing as it’s one of the greatest anime ever made. The official subs are awful, though.
The English dub is abysmal and uses the same awful Central Park Media TL. Very much recommend avoiding at all costs.

To any new watchers. DON’T.
Wait for SomeStuff’s release even if it takes a couple of years, they are giving the show a proper english translation

Yeah, wait for SomeStuff. I checked the official version out of curiosity and there were something like 15 mistranslations in the first 14 minutes of episode 1, at which point I stopped counting.

Eh, Utena was still a great show when all we had were shitty HK subs. Besides if you really wanted to you could just download the SomeStuff’s subs and use them for the first 13 episodes. They gave this link with their release https://files.catbox.moe/8abuiu.zip If they were complete I would have included them.

BTW, the 2.0 track on all of the Blu-ray releases is just a downmix of the 5.1 remix. Unfortunately nobody seems to have synced the LD, the original 1998 R2J DVD or the CPM R1 DVD JP tracks. Same with Nadesico.

Sorry to say, this release looks terrible. Get the kuchikirukia version if you want actual good quality. This is only for those who want small files.

Hmm… lesbian show?

Gradius
On ep 3, she tell us she is normal (not lesbian). LOL
I never watched this before, but I can see right away, the black/foreign/prince guy is Himemiya’s brother.
