If it cannot break its eggs shell a chick will die without being born. We are the chick. The world is our egg. If we dont crack the worlds shell we will die without being born. Smash the worlds shell 220https://i1.sndcdn.com/artworks00063774354185cqswt500x500.jpg A fairytalesoaked visually charming sonically captivating queer 90s work of art filled with surreality symbolism conveying critiques on the oppressive systems we live under and the powers that be. 400https://i.ur.com/r10hP2m.jpg Calling into question and confronting the patriarchy toxic masculinity societal roles and rules the idea of gendered clothing false ideals privilege power imbalances abusive and manipulative relationships the construct of family the unjust hierarchies indoctrination by the status quo and heteronormativity to name a few? It may sound like too much to take on but the shows got it and highlights these themes in subtle as well as very explicit ways which can seem repetitive at times yet fit in thematically. All of this being said it does warrant content warnings e.g. for the depiction of physical abuse so I recommend you look them up before diving into it right herehttps://vilecrocodile.tumblr.com/post/178113936017/revolutionarygirlutenacompletetriggersguide. 450https://i.pin.com/736x/df/9d/33/df9d337050794408ee50f8394b859ea7.jpg The exploration of the ensemble casts intrapersonal relationships and internal conflicts and how the power structures and societal rules shape them with entire episodes dedicated to seeing things from each characters perspective makes it the most thoroughly explored ensemble cast Ive ever seen. It really makes use of the 39 episodes runtime in order to give each character room to breath confront and grow. 500https://vraikaiser.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/prologue.png This show ripe for an indepth analysis of each episode and the symbolism and surrealism leaves open vast room for individual interpretation of this work. I certainly felt it and gave myself time inbetween each episode to think about it what happened what the symbolism and surrealism shown means and went back to look at certain scenes to piece things together in my mind more often than not. 450https://i.pin.com/originals/8c/bc/66/8cbc662a9c7f17e7e5618d02050c6381.jpg Come to think of it Ive always felt engaged and intrigued with this show. There are comedic elements scattered in throughout the show to alleviate the tough and darker themes and the soundtrack is woven perfectly into every scene. Plus the OP and EDs for this show absolutely slap and its one of those Ive never once skipped. 450https://i.pin.com/736x/a2/17/34/a21734ddabee64b721a2ad00dab01838.jpg BePapas everyone who worked on this have truly created something special which resonated with me on multiple levels and gave me hope in these rough times were in and I cant thank them enough for it. If you want something to sink your teeth into which is very importantly gay and revolutionary as heck timelessly so as its quite explicitly about moving forward and dealing with the unjust unsustainable and oppressive systems they live under I cant recommend it enough. Viva la revolucin
