Sorry I need to go slightly insane about something for a second.

So I was reading this NME article about the song Guilty by Taemin, minding my own business, until I came across this paragraph:

I read that quote and was like um not to make everything about Utena but that sounds exactly like Utena. Like “crack the world’s egg”. Utena absolutely had to have been inspired by this book too.

And lo and behold, look at the title of the OST track that plays during the student council scene:

Maybe this is some obvious basic shit to the kinds of people who have dug into every single literary reference made in Utena, but as someone who hasn’t done that and also has never heard of this book before I feel extremely validated that I read a random quote in an unrelated article, thought “this gives me Utena vibes”, and turned out to be 100% correct

there’s a lot of anime where the main characters have absolutely no business being teenagers doing all the stuff they’re doing but ngl they needed to be 14 in Madoka Magica. like that’s just what being in middle school feels like

For some reason I can’t engage with any headcanons/theories about Utena or Anthy’s lives post Ohtori, I just don’t like thinking about it at all

I like not knowing. I like not even having a little bit of an idea. Is that weird?
