Episodes 6 and 8 have a somewhat different tone but do have some actual things that become more important in retrospect later on... (6 more than 8).

Trivia: 6 and 8 were actually supposed to be in the opposite order, but production issues ended up happening and the latter was delayed.

Definitely worth keeping going, though. You'll pine for those lighter moments later on >.<

I'm Indian, but I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the elephant shenanigans. Unexpectedly hilarious episode.

The funny thing about Shoujo Kakumei Utena is that one episode is super serious and the next is about Nanami almost getting killed by elephants in India because of curry.

There were a couple amusing moments, but overall Utena's sense of humor is bad. I'd rather it cut out the humor episodes completely.

If the Ikuhara wants a break from the serious he should just go slice of life on occasion.

Utena does a good job with making its filler entertaining and including some important/subtle details in there as well.

We went beyond using Nanami as comic relief this time, as every character seemed to get involved in the hijinks. However, the elephants were the best part. I was cracking up at my screen and asking "What the fuck?" every time an elephant just dropped out of nowhere on Nanami.

However, that scene where Utena (in Anthy's body) questions what Anthy and Saionji do in that room...was that implying they have an active sexual relationship?

slapped: 7 times already.

Chuchu exchanging bodies with Saionji xD.

I actually disagree, i found this fun and absurd.

Saionji should just stay like that, not gonna lie.

These fillers are fantastic, I don't even know how the actual plot could be better.

Okay, this ep totally had me, definitely the funniest one yet :3 Maybe now I just understand the atmosphere of this series more, so it doesn't feel as forced.

Chuchu with green hair practising his sword art at the end killed me xD

Hello,
Sorry, I'm here to ask you all something. By any chance, any of you know the "classical" song that starts a few seconds later after the opening?

I feel like is a really known song but I can't get to remember the name or composer and I'm starting to feel bad about it.
Thanks!

Really funny episode. I laughed everytime Nanami was followed by elephants. She really went to India just for the spice πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

On another note, it's so refreshing to see Anthy slapping back. Hope the bullies stop teasing her now.

Lol it's more of a filler. Amazing how they travel to India, yet the Elephants keep following them all throughout.

I love how Utena wrote Anthy's diary in response to Saionji XD

WTF, Chu Chu became Saionji!

The show gets better when you stop fighting the direction it wants to take you in πŸ˜‚

The first elephant had me confused as hell.
The second elephant had me rolling my eyes.
The third and fourth I was laughing pretty good.

But really, the writers had to have been occasionally dosing for this one.

I tried to enjoy this anime, but up to this episode there wasn't much interesting stuff going on. Definitely not a "masterpiece" for me.

Such a funny bizzarre episode, but there's something weird with the animation. By some comments above, I see it was made by other studio. Character design is really behind the average, compared with other episodes.

Feminine Utena is cursed but seeing "Anthy" defending herself was quite refreshing.

On a disturbing note, I'm glad to know Saionji only exchanges diaries with Anthy and isn't actually a rapist. Seeing him acting this delusional is quite worrying tho.

It's definitely been a slow burn journey up to this point so far in the anime, I don't think it's aged well IMO, only thing that's excellent has been the sound track so far. Still early, but I hope it can deliver...

Loved this episode, the part with Saionji and Chuchu was hilarious, that part where Miki and Touga were buying the photos was too. Also I'm glad those bullies finally got slapped, even if it wasn't really Anthy slapping them.

The next episode looks like it's gonna be where things get good

I haven't commented in the previous episodes but I wanted to say that I have loved everything so far, the pacing, animation and comedy is amazing, the over the top music and set ups are great, this is going to be probably one of my favorite anime ever made.

I wanted to say that I found the whole thing very sus, Anthy made a spice to switch bodies with her partner? I still don't know how she came to be the rose bride but I thought she had accepted it, to think she would go to these lengths to try and get rid if the responsibility, and with Uthena no less....

I mean, this was a gag episode, but still!!!

Kiryuu Nanami is also one of my favorite characters ever, she is always in the middle of some random bullshit lol, murders, animals, elephants! I just got to love how goofy everything around her is!

Great episode! I am excited to see what comes next!

How strange. I do really like how Touga wanted to get Utena and Himemiya to their own bodies as much as they did because he seems to have some sort of plan.

The elephant joke wasn't really funny, would've been cooler to see the mean girls travels in India with different gags for each time.

I still really have not a damn clue of what to make of this show.

Okay I think I'm ready to accept that this show just gets really weird sometimes. Especially if it's a Nanami plot.

I'm still finding Anthy absolute lack of spine very tedious though. Like girl please I'm begging for a single independent thought or opinion.

Shout out to Utena getting her lick back with Saionji in the exchange diary tho. She was a real one for that.

Another 5 out of 5 episode. I'm going to be sad when this anime goes back to being serious again.

I never thought elephants in anime could be so funny.

Also Anthy finally slapped someone back! Tho to be honest, is this anime even actually Utena if someone isn't getting slapped somewhere? As a call back joke it's fairly decent. Very dumb, but very decent.
