Going by the various "neat anime I've watched" threads, I think this is Vividred Operation.

Lots of other fun stuff in this yarn. Dread Sensei Gryphon. The "propeller-driven pants" line. The Bath Scene (yes, it Deserves Capital Letters). The little memo at the end.

After thinking about the scene of Mio finally Getting It (which was properly awesome, of course), I can't help wondering — if Utena hadn't had her talent for the "Indiana Jones" method of DIY combat training, would she have gone through this herself, and maybe had less problems realising her own connection with the Force?
