Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Star Driver is essentially Revolutionary Girl Utena with mecha — same creative team, same obsession with theatrical duels as emotional confession.
The 'Galactic Pretty Boy' title isn't just camp; it's Takuto's deliberate performance of masculinity to disguise his own trauma about abandonment.
