Am I ever going to pass up an opportunity to babble extensively about AWESOME LADIES? The answer is: no, I most certainly am not!
Therefore, stolen from
in_the_blue and a few other people by now: name a canon you know I know, and I'll tell you (in no particular order) my three favorite females and why. And then I'll name a canon for you, because I'm just as curious as I am eager to share.

Anthy: I love how Anthy changes, so very subtly, over the series, and how you get that little 'ohsnap' moment when you're rewatching and realize what she must've actually been thinking. I love how, despite being sympathetic in the end, she is still not completely a good person. And it's understandable that she isn't! And I love so much her giant fuck you to Akio at the very end.
Utena: You can't watch this series and not love Utena. She's completely awesome, in ways that I'm sure I don't have to explain. But what I love most about her are those little peeks at fucked-upedness we get as the series progresses, ultimately culminating in a complete deconstruction of her beliefs.
Nanami: Nanami is completely hilarious, for one thing. From her first appearance she is pretty much the best scheming Mean Girl ever. But out of all the characters in Utena, I think she's the one that grows the most, and, is, in a sense, the normalest out of the bunch. Compare her reactions to the news people are yanking swords out of duelists' chests with the rest of the student council's. Her main concern is how much it hurts. That's what I love about her, she knows she's in a weirdass show. And she's still obsessed with her brother.
