Utena is definitely one of my favorite anime ever, the characters, the story, the soundtrack, the absurd comedy plus the fact it was way beyond its time by touching sensitive topics as back as 1997.
Usually nicknamed "The Evangelion of Shoujo" and one of the main inspirations for anime like Madoka Magica, it shows us one of the most incredible deconstruction of fairy tales, subverting the themes of the prince, the princess, the damsel in distress or the witch in a way not many shows could have done. An awesome classic anime indeed.
