"What attracted you to the anime Revolutionary Girl Utena? The mysterious presence of a fighting female character. A collection of condensed reviews by maniacs."

Did you know there are Utena fan published analysis books? Well I didn't either, but that's what this appears to be! It's a wall, entire wall, of text that was so yellowed with age as to be unreadable, but I've done my best with this strange artifact. Yes, that picture sure is a choice. The Utena fans of the 90's were just a lot. Thanks Nagumo for help getting this!!
PS. I put mostly the table of contents below, since that is what will help decide if this is for you.

I've had this little book for years, and known of it as the 'Utena Juju Book.' It's entirely screenshots of the series in character-specific chapters, in varying sizes, and so it offers little new content, unless something interesting is in the character notes before each set of images. I've scanned it now because...why not. Completionism for the win!

If you're wondering why the file size is so huge, it's because these scans are less...polished than usual. Deal.

This is the program for Ikuhara's exhibition that ran in Tokyo (April 27 - May 6) and Kyoto (October 16 - 21) in 2019, reviewing his body of work, including, obviously, Revolutionary Girl Utena. There's some new early sketches from the development stage of Utena, as well as a bunch of childhood pictures of Ikuhara which is just...yep.

The book for scanning was donated by @AnimeSocMegan on Twitter. Thank you so much!!

This special release by Eureka magazine is a retrospective of Ikuhara's work, focusing primarily on the named projects, but addressing also his work in Sailor Moon and other things he has done. It appears to be a collection of interviews, from him, and about him by other people in the industry, as well as analysis and breakdowns of the content he has created. It's massive, and includes several guest illustrations from the series creators and guests.

One of the essays in this book got translated by the wonderful why1758, check out 'Eulogy for the Fool - Ikuhara Kunihiko and Ohtsuki Kana Discussion' in From the Mouths of Babes, our translated creator content site!

Character bios, duel descriptions, an episode breakdown, full size images of the weird duel charts like the one Touga is throwing knives at. There's also some analysis and discussion, including actually naming the model Akio's car is based on, and a picture of Lilith so, that should give you some idea.

The scans of this book are older, and while they should be legible to an experienced reader, OCR isn't going to work for them. If there's demand for this, e-mail me! I'll rescan it. :)

Though there's some general generic stuff, the beef of this book is artwork for Utena drawn by the various staff involved with its production. It's mostly black and white, and it's all awesome. Some of it's serious, some extremely silly.

This entire book has been translated and worked into the original scans to give you the experience of reading this homage to Utena by the creative time! Check out Nagumo's amazing work in the Empty Movement Gallery! You don't even need this raw copy anymore! :D (PS. This is also cross-posted in From the Mouths of Babes!)

This is the published guide book for the Sega Saturn game. It includes walkthroughs to all the best endings, character info, location breakdowns, and interviews with the game developers, along with some other random stuff. Including one clusterfuck of a character interaction chart.

This has been rescanned since the copy I originally had on the website some years ago. All text should be readable, and much of it should work for OCR.

Several Utena songs adjusted for play on the piano. It says easy, but I cannot speak to that. I included the table of contents in the images below. If you like this book, Rushita scanned and collected the book done for the movie soundtrack here!

This has long been available in the Gallery, as linked below. You can download either the complete PDF, or songs individually.

The long-dead Big Eyes, Small Mouth game was an attempt by Guardians of Order to capture anime in a table-top RPG setting. Whether they succeed or not, I can't say, but judging by this book, they didn't really know how to make Utena fit into their game's larger structure. This book covers the first arc, and includes mostly character bios and episode breakdowns, written both matter of fact, and in an absolutely absurd flowery style that makes me wonder if the writers ever saw the whole series. This thing is fun for some laughs, especially when you have phrases like "sweetest of the bastards."
