Ever since the landmark anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion wrapped in 1996, fans and creators alike have been looking for the next big thing in the postmodern post-apocalyptic giant robot genre. RahXephon has all the Eva touches down pat: moody adolescent mecha pilots, massive conspiracies set in motion by mysterious organizations, and a penchant for pregnant pauses and religious symbols. But for all of this, RahXephon also throws plenty of curve balls, boasts an intriguing cast of characters, and keeps the quality high enough to be recommended purely on its own merits. The story follows a 17-year-old boy, Ayato Kamina, who merges with a godlike humanoid super-weapon (the titular RahXephon) and uncovers the shocking truth about the seemingly normal Tokyo where he lives. The DVD Collectors Box includes the first RahXephon DVD, featuring the series first five episodes, plus a T-shirt and a deluxe box designed to hold future RahXephon discs. Volk Lindsay Customer ReviewsWrite your own online review >Number Of Reviews: 2 Average Rating: J. Murray, A reviewer, January 23, 2004 A truly profound experience (Spoiler Free)(This will be spoiler free, and as a result, brief. I dont want to give away a thing!) I recently finished watching this series and I have to say that it has been one of the best viewing experiences of my life. The animation is fluid, smooth, and breathtaking. Strategic placement of various backdrops and images enhance the story, whether by foreshadowing an event to come, or connecting an event from the past. You can tell from the titles themselves that RahXephon has a very strong musical undertone, and in fact is an integral part of the story. The result is music that is haunting, stirring...memorable. Above all else the characters are what makes or breaks a story - and these made it many times over. The diversity of characters ensures that you can relate and empathise with at least one, if not more. They are simple, complex, mysterious, or a little bit of each - tied together with the perfect voices, making these characters come to life. You find yourself laughing with them, crying in sorrow, in rage, in joy. You no longer see characters, but real souls going through myriad experiences and taking you along for the ride. After finishing this story I find myself feeling as if I had lost a close friend, since I will never again be able to discover this world and these people for the first time. Im sure all of you have gone through a similar experience, and realized how profound it was, and how much you wanted to share it with your family and friends, anyone who would listen. RahXephon has been such an experience for me, and it is one I will not soon forget.Also Recommended: [Cowboy Bebop] [Jin-Roh : The Wolf Brigade] [Princess Mononoke] [Perfect Blue] [Noir] [.hack\sign] [Escaflowne]Eric Ellison, an artist who loves pure genius amazingly modern and beautifulIt is one of the best animes Ive seen so far since evangelion, and Ive only seen the first five episodes.It is beautiful, mysterious, just amazing.Also Recommended: Angel Sanctuary,chobits,cowboy bebop,evangelion,X,berserk,lain,vampire hunter D...
