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 31 through 36 tonight.

After that is Transformers One (2024), the animated, critically-acclaimed latest entry in the neverending fighting-robots franchise. This one tells the origin story of Optimus Prime and Megatron from back when they were buddies on their home planet, Cybertron. Robots proceed to punch other robots. Director is Josh Cooley, a former Pixar guy who helmed Toy Story 4 (2019). Great reviews for this, and a high-quality camrip is already available, so we’ll give it a whirl.

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