Re: F/f things you're currently into

I've seen people talking about this show, but I've been kind of reluctant to give it a shot -- in your opinion, does it ever actually manage to transcend the otakubait vibe those character designs give off? Between the all-female cast and the fact that I've been seeing ads for the live-action stage show(?) plastered up all over Ikebukuro, I assumed it was yet another "girls being cute and/or suffering for the benefit of the presumed-male viewer who's going to imagine these characters as his waifus and ideally buy tons of merch" a la Madoka, Love Live, etc, and those franchises tend to really alienate me in a way that Utena did not.

It's seinen like Madoka and Love Live, not shoujo like Utena, so if you're super turned off just by knowing that the primary audience is male then it's not recommended. Imo I would say that yes, it does transcend that - it's more substantial than Love Live and not exploitative like Madoka - but since I'm the sort of lesbian who actually manages to enjoy some through-and-through otakubait for the yuri bait, I may have softer judgement than you do.

Honestly if you're not into the soft girls idol content, I'd pass. I liked Utena because none of the girls were what you call soft by any stretch of the word. Its not the worst show but if you're not into that type of stuff it really does have that much else.
