For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, the people demanded more magical girls, and so, we’re going to start what is arguably the most acclaimed magical-girl anime of all time, Revoutionary Girl Utena (1997). Think Sailor Moon, but a bit more highbrow, and a bit more gay. Episodes 19 through 24 tonight.

After that is I Lost My Body (2019), an animated French thriller about a pizza-delivery guy who becomes infatuated with one of his customers. That would be all well and good, except that the hand he previously lost in an accident becomes sentient and escapes from its lab to pursue him. Drama ensues. Will romance blossom anyway? I guess we’ll find out. This is by far the best-known and best-reviewed work to date of director Jeremy Clapin.

We’ll start 8PM EST on Hextube right here:
