Have you ever wondered how Manie Manie would turn out if mixed with some hamfisted, ridicolous yuri innuendos?

If you didn't, leave this turd alone and move along safely. The only saving graces of this movie, in comparison to the overblown series, is that the runtime is shorter and the character of Utena acts in a way less stupid than its series counterpart. Other than that, the promising first part quickly dwells into a big, giant nonsense with the usual rapey and incestuous stuff you're kinda of expecting by this time from the director mixed with a nonsensical, ugly and boring re-hash of the running man segment from the 80's anthological movie Manie Manie and, why not, an ending reminescent of your typical post-apocalyptic tale from the 80's that has nothing to do with shojos in any way to begin with. I can't believe this is the same man who directed the masterful Sailor Moon R movie, one of the best full lenghts I've seen in quite some time and hands down one of the best, more inspirational superhero movies ever (the american garbage can rot in hell forever). What the hell happened?! I'm absolutely and totally baffled. NOT recommended.
