I know I will love it, I'm not sure why I keep putting it off. Starting new series always feels like a chore, that's why I stick to low episode OVAs and movies :)

That's some really long series.

It's better to look at those shows in that light only if you've already seen Utena and loved it. Otherwise, they're just good shows in their own right.

Actually, Ikuhara had involvement in Sailor Moon, so you still have to watch the bulk of the prerequisite episodes, ahahahahah.

There is no established order for experiencing the path to Utena. I'm actually doing it backwards, having watched Utena first and now Sailor Moon. If you watch Rose of Versailles just to enhance your Utena experience, you'll only end up fatigued by the time you finally get to the good stuff and unable to properly appreciate it but totally let me know if you ever marathon it so I can too.

The link between Utena and Rose of Versailles isn't nearly as direct as with Oniisama e. Oniisama e is also a much better show.

Sailor Moon is some magical girl show that isn't important

Oniisama e is an all girl private school emotional political roller-coaster melodrama
This show nearly destroyed me a few times. Too much drama!

Rose of Versailles I'm not sure yet.

Just watch Utena.
And then watch Penguin Drum.
Throw in some Sailor Moon sometimes. Problem solved.

Ok Oniisama e sounds like something I'd be interested in.

Actually, we're probably the hipsters for finding critical value in something that's mostly enjoyed by little girls even though there is actually tons of critical value and entertainment for all ages.

I really need to find the energy to marathon more :(

That was an amazing moment. I'm going to finish the first season before I resume the live action, though.

Don't worry, we can't all be like Narag.

It took me something like 4 months to finish PGSM. Oniisama e took me something like 3 weeks and that was intense for me.

I normally marathon something then go on some random hiatus only to continue the marathon and finish it months later.

It took me a while to watch CCS.
I think I started in the first winter thread after I joined.
Takes me forever to finish anything IF I finish it.

I did manage to marathon things like Haibane Renmei, Saikano, Last Exile, ScrappeD Princess, Chrono Crusade, Angelic Layer, Speed Grapher
Most shows I watch a little at a time, and it used to be a volume release at a time ;_;

Hot damn how is your brain still working!?

After marathoning the whole of Evangelion in a single day I straight up burnt out completely, not doing that again for a while.

If I really like the series I try to pace myself unless it's really addictive.

This show... is actually getting pretty good. As many visual shortcuts were taken in this ep, as were in the last ep, but there's a surprising amount of genuinely stylish story-boarding in here that works to make up for it. The pace at which they're dishing out plot points is blazing, but coherent, and the cast remains fun.

A 26 episode internet series, what an odd way to air.

I think I enjoyed Evangelion a lot more marathoning it than if I hadn't. As for Code Geass, I just couldn't stop watching it, it was so entertaining.

My brain never worked correctly in the first place.
The closest a show got to defeating me the first time I saw it was School Days.
That was a pretty interesting reaction.

I know you'll love it too, which is why I'm not pressuring you into it immediately; it's just tonally different from stuff like Oniisama e... and Door Into Summer even at its most dramatic moments.
