I love how they more or less settled a LOT of quesitons that have been lurking around the edges for a while now... while stirring up all NEW questions for people.
Incidentally, for the afforementioned Utena step.. you might find the following line utterly fascinating. It's from a book by the same guy who wrote Steppenwulf: 'Der Vogel kmpft sich aus dem Ei. Das Ei ist die Welt. Wer geboren werden will, muss eine Welt zerstren. Der Vogel fliegt zu Gott. Der Gott heisst Abraxas.' Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth by Hermann Hesse. Found it randomly while wandering Wikipedia...
Some utterly FASCINATING quotes in the book that someone had in mind when they were writing Utena, I think. Wikipedia Link to Demian entry.
