Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997)

Star athlete, they/them legend, gay awakening of Ohtori Academy: Utena Tenjou does it all. But when a schoolyard fight turns out to be a magical duel for classmate Anthy Himemiya’s hand in marriage, the dark underbelly of this world is revealed. As they grow closer Utena and Anthy discover that they must either revolutionize the world from the ground up, or succumb to the surrealist nightmare that is being queer in middle school.
