Plot Summary: Just after Utena's parents died she was consoled by a prince who gave her a ring with a rose crest on it. Utena was so impressed by the Prince that she vowed to become one herself one day. A few years later Utena is attending Ohtori Academy where she gives all the teachers headaches because she dresses in a boys uniform so she can be like the prince she met long ago. After Utena's friend is insulted by a member of the Student Council, Utena fights in a duel for her friends honor. Utena's rose crest allows her to enter the dueling arena where Utena wins the duel and becomes engaged to the Rose Bride. Unknowingly, Utena is pulled into a series of duels with other members of the Student Council for the possession of the Rose Bride. As she becomes fond of Anthy, the Rose Bride, she must fight to keep her friend safe and to discover the horrifying secret behind Ohtori Academy.

When will this be avaible on the streaming site? August 6 as well? I've been looking forward to this since they announced they were playing it on VOD, and then of course Comcast got lame and dropped Anime Network . At least I'll get to still watch this series though, completely this time too.

I'm surprised you're enjoying this. I thought it would be totally something not your style. There's a lot of otaku symbolism and yuri aspects to it. It gets better and better as it goes along, though for a longer series like this (I do feel it drags in some spots).

The music is really great though.

If you like this, the movie needs to be seen too, especially if you like the music in this.
