Interesting how in Adolescence of Utena the general aesthetic is very water themed; Utena's outfit is a sailor suit, Ohtori buildings look like the prows of ships, the rose garden dance scene is started by Anthy bursting a pipe, Touga and Utena's history with the river (+ drowning), the final elevator scene. I think when we first see people in Ohtori Academy itself, they're cleaning something because the floor is wet, and Utena is washing her face.

but in the show, the water imagery is much less prominent, and we see it mostly associated with Juri (her shower, her locket), Kozue (swimming pool and that scene where she's trying to hold the water), and to a lesser extent Nanami (cat). And the water imagery is mostly used to mark out certain character points, stages in their development, or their current mood.

I feel there is a lot to be analysed here but idk.

Water symbolizes change and rebirth. In AoU, Touga dies and is no longer the 'prince' utena needs. The maritime, distorted, and moving architecture compared to RGU symbolizes Anthy's budding divergence from Ohtori academy. She's ready to start anew, but not without the key. In the anime Anthy gets herself out of the Academy in her coffin through chaos. In the movie, Anthy's racecar, Utena, is a uterus. She's been given birth.

Utena's literal car transformation transports both, who are finally ready to emotionally face each other, from stagnating in the confines of childlike illusions to entering the real world which is ever-changing, unpredictable, and comparable to the 'high seas'.
