What is Shoujo Kakumei Utena
"pour la revolution du monde"
Once upon a time there was a young princess who was very sad because her mother and father had died. Then along came a traveling prince riding on a white horse. He wrapped the princess in a rose scented embrace and gently kissed away her tears.
"Little one," he said "growing up alone in such deep sorrow, never lose your strength or your nobillity, even when you become a young lady" then he gave her a rind saying " I give you this ring to remember me by, we will meet again." the princess was so impressed by the prince that she vowed she too would become a prince one day. And so the story began.
Shoujo Kakumei Utena, or La fillete revolutionair, or Revolutionary girl Utena, is an anime about a girl named Ten'jou Utena. This girl wishes to becom a prince so she can save damsels in distress. But one day she accidentally Duels Saionji the vice president of the student coucil of Ohtori Academy. And she finds out that the ring her prince gave her so long ago is a sort of key to unlock the mysterious Arena Forest that is behind the school.
