utena episode 5 thoughts

man, that blue haired dude... Miki, I think his name was? it's amazing just how many layers of neurotic bulshit he operates under. it's sorta refreshing to see that sorta complexity in a character, but at the same time, it takes a bit to unpack due to aforementioned complexity. The fact that his version of his childhood and his sister's are so different... And like, how he says he's going to "free" Anthy, but really just wants her to follow his wishes... it makes me wonder if he'll ever get things a bit less rose tinted, but at the same time, considering childhood memories are involved, I don't see that happening any time soon.
