Shoujo Kakumei Utena fan delusions . . . ?!

Discussion elsewhere has made me realize that a number of people have SKU interpretations/beliefs that boggle my mind . . .

2012 Utena / Penguindrum Fanfic – Seinen Kakumei Utena, Part Nine

Seinen Kakumei Utena (it's Seinen, NOT Josei), crossing with Penguindrum starting Part 2
Rating: T for mature and sensitive subject matters.
Timeline: 10 years post Revolution, a few weeks post Fate Train Transfer
Notable "Mysteries" Covered: Nemuro Hall, Child Broiler, Million Swords, Fate Train, Shadow Girls, Invisible People
Summary (or rather, Excerpt): “The revolution succeeded; it crumbled afterwards only because those whose lives got revolutionized did not follow up on the revolutionary success,” said the Bride, her words setting their closed hearts aflame. “This time, will you help us help you?”

After what seems like an eternity of non-fic writing, I have again written something in tribute of this timeless shoujo anime classic.  This is a work dedicated to the passionate, wonderful people at In the Rose Garden (fic thread here), which even now remains the coolest place for Utena fans to hang out online.

Helter Skelter 2012 Movie Trailer

After a five year hiatus, Sawajiri Erika is now making a dramatic comeback playing Ririko in Helter Skelter 2012, a movie currently making considerable waves in Japan by way of Sawajiri's supposedly explicit nude scenes (North American Audiences will no doubt find it mild rather than risque). The Chinese subbed youtube trailer as follows:

Utena V.S. Penguindrum - which one is a "better" show?

Being deep in the mist of my own SKU/MP post series both series fic (currently struggling with the second Nemuro/Penguindrum research chapter), I've been rewatching both SKU and MP over and over again, along with reading many online reviews of both shows.  It seems like most people out there (with some exceptions, of course) still think that SKU is a better show than MP, and I have to say I agree with this common consensus.
