Oshii is rather harsh in his critique—not to mention, they do have this senpai-kouhai kind of respect for one another—but at the same time he isn't saying that the movie "sucked." |

okok i know a lot of people already asked the question and i have read the replys but im a bit retarded and i still don't really get the ending TTOTT im sorry
umm yea there are spoilers from this point on so mishima reika is Ixtli and she says that her form is what he secretly desires so quan Ixtli at first looks like reika but then she turns into ayato so does that mean that reika is in the form of haruka when she was younger? and in the last scene with the girl playing piano with long hair it is haruka right when they were in high school? and you guys says that he created a new world and made a life of him a haruka together, because he put that memory into haruka???? TTOTT as you can see im so dumbly confused. so if someone can please help me i'd really appreciate it. |

BTW, here's a great timeline of the events that partly explains many mysteries and backstories:http://www.khantazi.org/Rec/Anime/MuTimeline.html |

My best guess, is that a tuner of the world required so much tweaking technologically/genetically, that they can't let Ayato mature in Maya's womb for 9 months and mess up his growth. This is only a guess, however. There is plenty of evidence that artificial wombs had likely been developed behind the scenes, as otherwise the large numbers of clone pilots would not be practical.

I noticed something odd that I've not seen explained anywhere. When Ayato and Quon are flying into Tokyo Jupiter, Quon sees the Vermillion and says, "I hate that thing."
It's odd, because she rarely talks in the first person, and she seems unusually emphatic about it. I assume there's some subtext I'm missing. I know the Vermillions were "mass-produced" Dolems using Mr. Peroxide-Hair as the template pilot, but Quon didn't seem to mind the big Dolem that showed up to greet them. So, why the disgust with the Vermillion (which wasn't even piloted by a D)? |

Rahxephon is first and foremost an absolutely incredible love story. Arguably the greatest love story in all of anime. What would you do if you lost the love of your life at 15. How much would it change your life? would you be able to move on? This is what Rahxephon is about... forget about the stupid inevitable comparisons with Evangelion, because Evangelion does not come close to the greatness of this anime.
The animation, im my own humble opinion is perfect. Not one single flaw nor weak episode. Some scenes surpass greatness thanks to the directors incredible eye. The colors and designs hit you like an anvil full of beauty and emotion. Every line and curve serve a greater purpose in the telling of this story. The sound is truly phenomenal. The theme of the anime itself is sound, and how sound cand be used and derived from different forms. Sound can be used to create, destroy and express. In RahXephon, BONES takes imagination and knowledge to a whole new level when they incorporate the concept of sound and how it pertains to the story. The story is by far the greatest part of this anime. What is love? can love die? Does love ever go away? can you fall out of love with someone u truly love? what is family? can we relate to concepts and people we do not understand? These are the questions that Rahxephon raises. The characters in this anime stayed with me for days and days after watching this masterpiece. Ayato and Haruka's love transcend time and space. Even heaven and hell could not stop their love. There is not a single weak or annoying character in this show and every character is fleshed out and serves a purpose. The value of this anime is tremendous. I have seent this 3 times and it only gets better and better, because u learn and discover more depth. There are so many reasons why this anime is a masterpiece that its impossible to list them all. Rahxephon is not just a show, its an experience that grabs you and never lets you go. Take a ride to Tokyo-Jupiter, and u will never be the same. |

yo man, i feel you. At first, when i watched Rahxephon, i thought it was just an eva ripoff and incredibly childish. But after contemplating on its themes, I realized that it has tremendous values and subtleties. It is an incredible love story, and I loved it.

yep.
first off, i would like to thank all of you. RahXephon is and always will be the best thing that ever happened to anime. for your support of it, i shall send you happiness vibes.*vibe sending....done!*
also, does anyone else have the rahxephon manga? i only have vol. 3 but ive read all of it. personally i prefer it to the anime, but that may be because of my manga preference over anime. and to those of you wondering about its symbolism, all i can say is that the human mind may not even be able to comprehend all of its meanings. i can only state that without balance, harmony and music, existence is only made for hate, violence, and mistrust. love is the greatest power in all of the universe. in actuality, that statement does not even begin to describe the feelings and meanings rahxephon inspired in my soul. I hope you can understand. |
