Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Nik Kastrantas Although RahXephon shares several similarities to Evangellion in the end it's core story is actually about love and not war and a love that even transcends space and time for that matter. Because of that both the Federation and the Mullians play a secondary role in this anime which in the end proves to be a good thing, that is if you are sentimental as i. Of course much like many anime on the way to find complete love our hero goes through many trials and lots of sad events but what's new? Personally although RahXephon is considered a sci-fi anime i think that it has amongst the top 5 love stories i have ever seen in an anime and no matter how many times i see it i always wish we had more Harukas in the real world.

lortoffi SuperbI've recently viewed this series for the third time (the 1st was in 2003 and the 2nd in 2007) and incredibly I've yet seen new particulars that I've missed the previous times. I consider it a sign of a worthy production.The story is complex but not obscure and, in contrast to Neon Genesis Evangelion, everything reaches a natural explanation toward the end of the series. And where NGE takes a lot of references from the Qabbalah and the Jewish tradition, RahXephon takes its from Aztec and Mayan lore.Sometimes it takes time to check the crossed links in the anime, and sometimes require a little of work to understand what is apparently a missing point. For example is easy to grasp that Watari Shirou is the father of Ayato, a little more tricky it's to understand how Kisaragi Quon is the real mother of Ayato and his twin brother ItsukiThe characters are well developed, with deep and complex interaction between them. The main character, Ayato, is well characterized and doesn't provoke the impulse to slap him continuously (as Shinji Hikari does)Premising that I've seen the original Japanese anime and not the American dubbed one, I can state that the audio is simply outstanding. Starting from the ouverture of "Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg" by Wagner the series is full of music, the recurring theme from "Polovetskie plyaski" by Borodin, up to the compositions by Hashimoto Ichiko, like the delicious "Katun no Sadame", make it tasty to listen. And the music pervades everything in the show, dolem (DO-RE-MI?) are named with music terms (like Allegretto, Fortissimo, Falsetto), the last purpose of the RahXephon system is "to tune the world" etc...Everything is cured even the name of the characters, e.g. "Kamina" means "the name of the god", "Ayato" is written as "the design of the man", "Watari Shirou" could be translated as "requests truth the samurai's son" There are also numerous references to other works in primis "L'oiseau bleu" by Maeterlinck (also Michiru, the dead daughter of Kunugi Jin could be a transliteration of Mytyl), but also references from Japanese folk tradition like "Urashima Taro". It's like a game to find them all.I consider it a masterpiece and I recommend to view it.

djad13 What can i say guys: like you all said, its one of a nice plot, nice animation, nice movements, little is bad on the whole thing. Storyline is great too, tears in my eyes, and still i cant shake the love in this one...OK, there are similarities with NGE, and these are A LOT! check wickepedia for a list of some. OK, i like Japanese anime for the depth of the characters, and the psychology of the whole thing. They bring a new meaning to the word DEEP! But with NGE, i had to go to 100 sites and to find 100 different interpretations to reach to the conclusion of what happened at the end of the series and EOE. the end of the season was nice, but didn't make much sense to me, plus it was sooooooooooo psychologically messed up, i couldn't get it out of my mind for the next 4-5 weeks! MENTAL. Of course had to watch it another 1-2 times, where you understand a bit more.now with this one, it flows much better. Still deep in love, drama, action, etc, but in a more understandable way. And not that the ending is too easy to understand the first time, the way that it rolls out, but it was great! I still cant get the love on this out of my head. tear-bringer all the way, and nice action to cover your mental health :) there's been so much mecha out there, you definitely don't know where to start from. One of the best is this one! you wont regret it, even if you watched the NGE. Plus this i wouldn't exactly call it a mecha, more like a love story with mecha in it...great stuff if you're into it.have fun

ryanbigman I'm not going to give anything away nor try to even explain the plot. Believe me, just watch it! It is somewhat like the Evangelion series and made by ADV; it's got the whole Mecha thing going and has shown a lot of depth like Evangelion. The character design isn't bad. It's just beautifully done. Again, just watch it and don't miss out!
