Utena & Mecha

Something that occurred to me while thinking about Revolutionary Girl Utena and its influence on Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, is that Utena, while firmly in the magical genre, has a surprising amount of connections to the mecha genre.

Probably the most well-known of these is that Neon Genesis Evangelion[1], a show that was at least partially inspired by Hideaki Anno[2] being a fan of Mobile Suit Gundam[3], had staff (including Yoji Enokido[4], Shinya Hasegawa[5], Kazuya Tsurumaki[6], and Toru Takahashi[7]) who would go on to work in various positions on Utena, with Enokido and Hasegawa in particular being part of Be-PaPas[8], the pen name of the key group of people in charge of Utena's development.

In addition to this connection, another member of Be-Papas, Chiho Saito[9], was also a fan of the original Mobile Suit Gundam, and not only has drawn art of Char Aznable and Lalah Sune[10], but was even inspired by the latter to make Anthy Indian[11]. As an aside, it should be noted that Saito, in addition to being the mangaka behind the Utena manga, also worked with Ichiro Okouchi[12], the main writer of Witch from Mercury, on a pair of light novels that elaborated on a couple of episdoes from the Utena TV series.

In addition to being influenced by mecha anime (Gundam in particular, both directly and indirectly), Utena has also gone on to influence future mecha anime.

The first of these would be FLCL[13], in which Tsurumaki and Enokido collaborated on another tale of surreal adolescence, albeit one which, among other things, substituted magical swords emerging from people's chests for giant robots emerging from their foreheads instead.

Another example is Gunbuster 2[14][15], in which Tsurumaki and Enokido worked together again on another story of surreal adolscence and giant robots, set in space this time, and with two leads who take visual inspiration from Utena and Anthy, one of whom was inspired by the other to become a prince mecha pilot.

Enokido would go on to team up with Takuya Igarashi[16], whom had previously worked with Enokido on Utena (under a pen name) and Ouran High School Host Club[17] (also influenced by Utena, though more focused on comedy), which resulted in Star Driver[18], yet again a tale of surreal adolescence and giant robots, but this time featuring a secret dueling game in a high school and a marriage of mecha fights with magical girl aesthetics.

Witch from Mercury is interesting then, in that it both hearkens to this history of Utena-influenced mecha but is also a departure from it, eschewing the surrealism of Utena, while sharing the show's appreciation of symbolism, theatricality, and queerness, and instead using and remixing elements of Utena's narrative structure and character archetypes. This more grounded approach to Utena, coupled with additional narrative elements from Shakespeare's The Tempest, as well as corporate politics and violence more traditional to Gundam, makes perhaps the most fitting tribute Mobile Suit Gundam can give to Utena and its history of strange association with mecha anime.

ANIME DISCOVERY - Time of the Season Fall 2023 Wrap-up

One more before the ultimate best and worst of lists!

Here we are, folks. We are at the end of the year and close to the end of the anime season and year overall and for what happened in the last 3 months…… well, the strikes ended but mostly in some not-so-good terms but hey, you get to talk about movies without someone calling you a scab or something. There are also voice actors not knowing when to shut the fuck up or just NOT to be the jerk in…
