Episode 4

Utena is getting bad grades, which she pushes is because of all the fighting magical girls. And then turns out was likely because she keeps reading porn mags, which I take are the ones the mascot tempted with her earlier.

I also think it was more obvious this episode that Sulfur is herself vulgar in terms of language, with her and Kiwi really going at each other, which is pretty funny to see.

Utena's love of porn isn't exactly making her an unrelatable character to me. Glad she gets to hold onto her magical girl merch, though.

I am just going to say the show has some restraint, because we are being led to believe that a teenager is just looking at the porn and not doing anything else.

Episode 5

Not incredibly comfortable with introducing a pre-pubescent girl into the hijinks sexual fetishes and stuff. At the very least hopefully never put her into it the stuff, but there is still the implication that she was controlling Tres Magia into some very sexual play. Did she also transform herself into an adult to do things to Utena when she was sick?

Episode 5

Yeah, DP, probably best not to think about those questions too closely...

Episode 5
I get the Alice part but "Neroalice", that I don't understand.
Now, if it was Neuroalice [From Gibson's Neuromancer] then I could say she's a master of... alternate reality... isekai. Which she is...

Uh oh... signs that the pervy show of the BDSM magical girls may be turning smart.

Not sure why they combine it into one word, but it's supposed to be Nero or Black Alice. Also, latest episode FINALLY gets to the BEST part.
