Revolutionary Girl Utena In A Nutshell

[@vividdaydream1516]

This anime makes A LOT more sense with the explanation "The Cars Are A Metaphor For Adulthood (and/or "adult relations")" Unfortunately, this also retroactively makes nearly every scene that involves cars 500% more disturbing.... especially since A LOT of Creepo McStrangerDanger's screentime is dedicated to him taking underage students "out for a drive."

[@LilianOrchard]

The car metaphor wasn't exactly subtle. The whole "You can feel the engine throbbing. Wanna drive?" "I'm not old enough" wasn't even a joke. That was the actual dialogue.

[@hannahbranch7770]

I don't know if it's a parody. But "when you walk away, you can't hear me say" is honestly a bop.

[@idiotthatdrawsakaartist]

Thank God I'm not the only one who actually liked that theme XD

[@Total_Color_Animations]

"In The End is an underrated masterpiece" "This is officially a mercy killing" My favorite line in the video XD

[@turner15]

Embarrassed to admit that this is the first time I fully got the message. I understood most of it - effects of abuse on a person’s personality, patriarchy, you cannot help someone by partaking in the same system that harms them, etc. But I missed the part where the promise of power to change the world was specifically about not being able to create revolution through non-revolutionary means. Utena is so Lynchian in tone sometimes I thought “revolution” was mostly just a stand-in for people having various vague reasons for partaking in abuse that they pretend are deep, with “revolution” specifically being used so the writer could inject that Lynchian tone into the scene at the same time. I didn’t realize it was specifically about getting stuck in the trap of the oppressor while claiming/trying to do the opposite. Thanks!

[@dwreanchinotan]

damn, everyone's leg muscles would be so defined with how many stairs they climbed. also, who knew dueling involved so much vehicular man slaughter.

[@therotryzit]

Yay finally the entirety of Raviolimunching Girl Uterus starring Uterus Tenjocks and Anthrax Histamine! What a fun ride!

[@datoaster4991]

Well time to watch Revolutionary Girl Utena. Also Utena's drip is so good every time she's on screen FEMA gets called

[@fairyflight8436]

9:50 Was not expecting that trio jamming out in a car together, but they definitely need it.

[@dwreanchinotan]

seconded.

[@idiotthatdrawsakaartist]

​@Wyldside-d3r a detail people conviently forget when shipping them. They grew up as adoptive sisters. I'm sorry but I could never fall in love with someone I've considered a sibling since childhood like nah 😭😭😭

[@XainRussell]

“Them’s the breaks!” This show and its car metaphors has no breaks, pretty sure that’s why Uterus’ finishing move is so effective.

[@LuciMolaMola]

As also an Utena fan, this was brilliant. Also unironically love the idea of Anthy, Adora and Andrew having group therapy and weed and just being a little support group.

[@LuciMolaMola]

​@@LilianOrchardOnce again, brilliant.

[@TheGamingKidNetwork]

This was a delight to watch, if the actual show was was like this, then I'd probably be more interested in watching it. but hey I have your funny version to watch whenever I want a good laugh. It's kinda hard to pick my favorite joke, cause I love so many of them. great job!

[@tailsimp]

Perfect retelling. Also I watched this show once and I completely forgot the black rose arc existed

[@zerozeroren]

Every single man in this show sporting that Mac Tonight profile

"*swoosh*/ouchie-ouch" has now entered my everyday lexicon. what have you done to me

[@VanNessy97]

That's it, I'm making RGU Abridged as soon as I find an editor and enough indie KZbin voice actors

i feel like i was on an acid trip without the acid thenks liliy love your vids

[@salmaseelgrande]

Creepo Mc Stranger Danger is the best name you created for this masterpiece!!!

[@pessoaqualquer5616]

I've never watched Utena but this was pretty funny :v How long until 3 different videos complaining about this pop up

[@Mx_D1zzy]

LOL, probably soon 😭

[@JelloTheGreen]

I cant believe I got fucking rick rolled in 2024

[@ThePolishCan]

You were right, Ray William Johnson was a better choice than a Canadian rockstar.

[@acisme6442]

Every video or post I see talking about this show only further convinces me that it would be triggering as shit for me to try and sit through the show itself, but this video at least made me cackle a few times so thanks for that ^^ ajdjsksk

[@LilianOrchard]

I cut a lot of the worse stuff out and blunted the rest, but yeah it is extremely triggering. The trigger warning for this show is just "Don't."

[@AshleyTheFighter]

5:30 the best form of rick roll, thank you

[@danl5086]

I have been personally attacked by this video. 😂 EDIT: ... the 40 year old millennial weeb bit, not the uh, other thing.

[@snbsixteen6stars201]

I cant hear you over this freaking piano

[@mtxf]

I gotta say as a long time viewer who's a big fan of RGU I clicked on this video with immense trepidation. But I loved this, it's freakin awesome, great work! I will let never let anyone say Lily's criticism of this show is uninformed or based on misunderstanding. Just casually dropping the entire thesis of the show 2 minutes in like ok wowzers, you nailed it.

[@itsnikkis]

Nice one Lily. Thanks again for the early birthday present!

[@SapphireLibra3]

As someone who loves this anime and anime in general, this is legit the best recap of this show I've ever seen.

[@COMPUTEROSIS]

FINALLY I can say that I have watched Ooo-tini-ya, questioned all the balloons, caught the Wayside reference, felt personally uncomfortable BEFORE the creepo saga revelation (because I'm not keen on a body swap plot where the non-black character's in the black character's body and I say this as someone who loves Soul with an exclusive poster of said movie in my room), gasped at actual dialogue, motivations, and backstories, and when you walk away you don't hear me say "them's the breaks fucker" because I already wanted to check out by the first of several slaps to finish "You 10 eh" the 90s dub way... Anyway, in a nutshell, this vid is my quintessential 0-2-smoke rewatch of Revolving Nutshell Tomboy Experience and I had a gay-old laugh in general while out of breath in more ways except the illegal ones~

[@daydreamer8941]

9:55 This part made me laugh out loud . Anthy going to group therapy with kinder spirits is definitely a spin-off I've been interested in watching.

[@lerdherlix6657]

always good to see Just A Pancake appreciation

[@dreamer9398]

That one scene of Anthy, Adora, and Andy got me. 😂 Fun video, Lily! Random thought: The two guys with the long green and red hairs look uncannily similar to Arvis and Travant from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

[@Empurress_Sable]

I've never watched this show but I love this parody and will now consider it Cannon. Uterus is just trying to get her wife out of the slave contract, love her wife Anthy flipping the script later

[@LoreDrake]

I almost wish you tearing into anime was a regular thing, cause this was hilarious, especially as a "fan" (watched it years ago, barely remember anything past The Team Rocket arc) Though now i do wanna watch again with eyes unclouded by weeb

[@LilianOrchard]

This wasn't a 'tearing into' it was a parody. An affectionate parody.

[@LoreDrake]

@LilianOrchard poor choice of words on my part, but I do love when you make these parody videos

[@roryaphunter]

wow, watching this with no context DID make it more enjoyable.

[@Lexyr_]

As someone who watched most of this series in a discord call with many other suffering parties, this is a much more palatable way to experience the show. Also, “Clam Jammed by Lore” fucking broke me, started wheezing, haha.

[@Valensleepytime]

Lily are you aware you are a terminally hilarious person?

[@TheArcSet]

Thanks for this. A picture of easily comprehensible coherence ... wait does that mean something went wrong.

[@cartercena8053]

I remember I tried to watch this cuz everyone kept saying it was yuri classic and got two thirds of the way in and completely gave up, I like was fuck this I’m watching Citrus for the third time at least there incest is only by law.

[@tylermclean7943]

yes love it moar nutshells plz

[@jonmercano1138]

5:30 Whoa, what’s that? Wait, that sounds famili- God damn it! 17:39 That sounds like it could be a euphemism 10:09 I was so distracted by rest of the video I remembered that note 20 min after finishing the video, and it hit me. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooo.

[@CLoseDSpAceFiRe]

12:30 Uterus is a Switch~! LOL But for real, this anime helped me figure out that girls can like girls, and I wasn't doomed to marry some rando-guy!

[@summerflutter92]

20:57 just this title screen makes me want to put something on fire

[@42scatteredthoughts76]

Man this story is absolutely off its med; like even if you took away all the metaphors and symbolism it would still be a batshit insane plot. No wonder the only thing people remember are the lesbians.

[@joseluisramos5027]

Great to see the art of Just a Pancake spreading to other franchises!

[@pikaace]

Thanks for saving me from watching... (googles) 39 episodes and 1 movie!

I know i watched this show. I did. I swear. I remember NOTHING except that first time he slapped her... I bet your retelling is better anyway

[@nighthawk4744]

I got as far as the first episode. Waaay too much slapping just in the first fucking one.

[@savannagood1617]

i remember watching this because Utena was cool and pretty but didn't understand a thing that was happening.

Ive bever seen the show but someone please tell me that Utena has a finishing move that's just running people over with a car 😄
