ANN's official spotlight has more information about the characters and staff if you want to add them to the OP.

Oh, also, Funimation just picked the show up for simulcast in NA.

Edit: beaten

Well on the upside, it'll be a better release than Sentai's mangling of Penguindrum.

So it's not exactly 'on topic' but this seemed the best place to ask - anyone got some good Utena gifs, so I can convince a friend of mine to watch it? She keeps saying she has never heard of it.

I might have more lying around somewhere but:

I always thought Ikuhara was kinda long-winded, anyways. I'm genuinely interested in seeing him try to rein things into a single cour.

You know, I could have gone my whole life without knowing that one of the greatest antagonists in anime history was almost named "Mike".

What did Escaflowne do anyways? I've heard a lot about that, but never saw it myself (I saw a different language dub that I've read is pretty faithful to the original).

From what I remember, it was mostly just general censorship stuff(no blood, no alcohol, simpler dialogue, etc.), and cutting out a lot of the romance subplots. I'm also pretty sure the network dropped it around the time the two evil catgirls show up, because there was no way to cut around all the crazy poo poo at the end.
