The series doesn't work if you apply bland morality to it. Everyone is a terrible person in some way, even the nicest guy there. The only morally pure character or close to it is Chu-Chu, the worst thing HE does is eat the snack Nanami prepared for the group.
Someone once drew fanart of Juri and Shiori making out on Ruka's grave. I hate ship bashing art but this is an exception.
Yep. ;_; The big confrontation over it near the end of the series made me tear up, omg. ;_;
Shiori's just a girl with the shittiest self-esteem ever. She wanted to make Juri hate her because she felt unworthy of being loved, but I think meeting Utena might have helped her realize she is. I think post-series she went to Juri about everything and they talked and smoothed things over.
Juri/Miki is pretty close to functional considering the series. (LOL, yep. Tumblr!Utena fandom is fucking crazy. They claim to love the series so much but see it all in such black and white terms and het is teh evol even though EVERY SINGLE RELATIONSHIP in that series has issues.)
Me too, Wakaba clearly has some kinds of feelings for Utena, but not like "love love" the way she felt for Saionji and Tatsuya. (I hope there are. Kanae needs more love and real friends and no more Akio. Tatsuya would be good for her, or possibly Miki once he's older. Or Shiori! Or Keiko. Or she and Anthy could smooth over their relationship and become friends!)
Definitely. I think Kozue was going to be a sexually open being anyway but she started so young partially just to piss Miki off. And Miki just...doesn't get it and sees it as her being clingy to HIM. It's so complicated.
