Ikuhara is a genius, Penguindrum is good but Utena is still my favorite.

It makes me want to boot up Linux.

Utena and some of the Sailor Moon seasons directed were good.

What makes Utena good? I gave it 4 episodes and it was painfully boring.

I watched the first 15 episodes or so.
To me it was not boring, but not particularly interesting either, hence I stopped watching some time ago.
I believe you need to appreciate it in an artistic sense, especially with its reuse of scenes to establish some kind of symmetry.

Utena is better on rewatches, frankly, because one has the later plot knowledge to catch those parts which on that first time often get overlooked. It also has some shoujo allusions for those know, which also quite funny.
