I honestly don't think Sailor Moon is a weird recommendation. I've watched both Utena and Sailor Moon and I think they're comparable because the director has a very distinct style. Both shows also have Kotono Mitsuishi and Aya Hisakawa in main roles.

AYRT I agree I just didn't know what OP wanted out of a show and what they liked about Utena so I wasn't sure if a Sailor Moon recommendation would be completely off base.

Like Sailor Moon is definitely a more hopeful and less messed up series then Utena is. I think they can both end up reaching the same audience (and like I said a lot of Utena fans are Sailor Moon fans and visa versa) but they aren't the same stories at all so it's still possible to like one and not the other.

Utena is just as hopeful of a series as Sailor Moon I'd argue, but they are definitely telling different stories.

Utena is hopeful in the end yes, but you have to go through a lot of dark things to get there.

I love Utena but it can be really depressing, especially when you get into the black rose saga and even later in the series when things are pretty grim.

Sailor Moon has some sad episodes but it also has a lot of light hearted comedy. The comedy in Utena lessens considerably when they really get into how messed up the school is and how abusive Akio is.

Agreed. Utena can be very (well mostly) depressing given abuse as a center plot. I think that's actually one of the reasons I actually enjoy Sailor Moon more even if I think that Utena on the whole is better written. :P

I feel the same! Utena is a lot tighter in it's writing that is for sure. I think Sailor Moon is just easier to pick up and watch whenever you feel like it.
