I just got through the student council arc, and so far story-wise it's been nothing but lesbians bickering.
I guess I like the visuals, but the character design is very unappealing to me.
Should I just drop it or does it get more interesting?
When does it get good?
Michael Martin
Asher Ross
when the yuri gets blacked
Asher Turner
>he fell for the meme
no one actually likes utena, lain, etc...
Jace Turner
You actually need a triple digit IQ to understand Utena, so don't sweat it too much.
Kayden Jones
b...but I like lain...
Blake Campbell
The last arc.
Luke Hughes
let's all love lain
Luis Miller
>but the character design is very unappealing to me.
Awful taste
Nathan Morales
So wrong
2/3 still nothing. I kind of enjoy the lesbians though
Gavin Hill
>When does it get good?
Episode 1, minute 1, second 1.

The second arc has a very different feel than the first and it is when it becomes more explicit with its themes and ideas. Give it at least a couple more episodes.
Blake Myers
wait cmon i love utena
Isaiah Parker
why?
Jace Parker
If you don't like it. Don't watch it faggot

Should I just drop it or does it get more interesting?
Drop it and watch a good Mahou Shoujo like Princess Tutu, CCS or Doremi instead.
Jack Watson
utenas older than most posters here and it's still better than 99% of the stupid shit production companies push on us, ala Konosuba and the isekai scourge
Alexander Taylor
It doesnt get good
It only exists so you can pretend you liked it and fellate yourself in 3x3 threads
Jaxon Richardson
> when does it get good
ep 1. then it goes downhill in the middle and the end is shit.
William Martinez
Then you don't exist.
Nolan Rogers
That's doesn't really answer the question though
Sebastian Parker
It has some of the best storyboarding and direction of any anime and is maybe the best written anime ever. Plus the OST is fantastic as well. It's totally unique and nothing since has managed to copy its successes to the same extent.
Exactly wrong.
Dylan Brown
Those are good, but not as good as Utena.
Jonathan Nelson
it's well done, voice acting is also very well done compared to some modern pieces
Dominic Gray
I was hoping for something more personal.
I guess I will wait for its themes and ideas to show up and see if it resonates with me in any way.
I do appreciate the craft at the very least.

The second user you replied to here. From episode 14 onwards the show gets darker and has less standard shoujo tropes and I enjoyed it much more from that point forward my first time. Now it's my favorite show even though at first I didn't get the appeal.
If you really want to understand the show's ideas pay a lot of attention to Anthy.
