It's actually Shojo Kakumei Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena) -- it's in manga and anime form.

The manga and anime are pretty different -- but in general, they're both about a girl named Utena who has longed to be a prince her entire life. She ends up in a very messed up school where she has to duel with the people in the student council to win the Rose Bride. It sounds absolutely silly (and complicated).

The anime is very surreal and gets very, very weird, while the manga is a much more traditional shojo manga (though still on the weird side). I wrote my thesis on it, so it was in my head for a pretty long time.

Doh. And the site I used to rely on is down now, so I don't even have a good link.
