I love it!!
An awesome addition to any Utena fan's collection!! The songs are very emotional, and are awesome even if you haven't seen it before. I know I love mine!! :)
For anime fans and adventurous music fans alike . . .
As an import, it's a bit pricey, but it may be worth it. Shoujo Kakumei Utena is not your average anime series, and that is reflected in this soundtrack. With its unique sound, this is a refreshing change from the poppy love ballads of many shoujo anime soundtracks. Ranging from pretty instrumental music to the oddly catchy, chorus-esque "duel songs" (my personal favorites), this is one anime soundtrack with music that can actually stand on its own. Fans of Utena, of course, should especially look into this album.
Excellent CD, even if you have never seen the series before
I thought this CD was so expensive that I wouldn't buy it if it weren't that I am a huge fan of Utena. But I was wrong! The music is great!! Absolutely one of my favorite CD, if not the favorite.... You can listen to it over and over again and not get tired of it...that's the power of classical music. "The sunlit garden" (The Sunny Garden?), is simply gorgeous. And "overture" has such profound effect.... "Eros of the Ball" (waltz style) is so beautiful. Even "The Sunny Garden: Illusion," which is basically sunny garden with symphony, is great. Ok, so I am a fan of classical music but songs with lyrics here are also extraordinary. They are catchy, though in Japanese. Even if you have never seen the series or you are not a big fan of classical music, you can still enjoy it. Just be aware that there are a lot of pirated goods out there. It is very difficult now to get official CDs of Utena, which have total 9 albums, since they are ALL out of print in Japan. Actually, it's cheaper to buy it from Japan even with shipping and handling fee. I don't know why they are so expensive when imported to US. I managed to get 6 out of 9 albums and they are worth every penny of it!!!!
