For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more magical girls, and so, we’re going to start what is arguably the most acclaimed magical-girl anime of all time, Revoutionary Girl Utena (1997). Think Sailor Moon, but a bit more highbrow, and a bit more gay. Episodes 7 through 12 tonight.

After that is White Snake (2019), a Chinese CGI animation about a snake hunter who falls in love with a woman who turns out to be a transforming snake. Drama and swordfights ensue. We have already watched two versions of this story, one being the anime Legend of the White Serpent, and the other the live-action Hong Kong version Green Snake (1993). Here is one more to add the pile. This one has also received two sequels, since it was a big hit in China.

We’ll start 8PM EST on Hextube right here:
