Has anyone seen RahXephon? Is it good? I've never seen it but it looks awesome (especially the animation

)

PostPosted: **Sun Oct 05, 2003 2:55 am**

ive only seen the first episode
looks nice...though it seems to have some greek/other gods(though i could be wrong) as thier mech theme,that can often go bad.
but the first episode was an eye catcher for sure,made me wanna see more.id be interested in other peoples opinions on it too

I've seen the entire serie since I couldn't wait before all the DVD to be release...
I'm definetly buying the box set when it comes out!
Great story, animation, music, etc.
A must see!

P.S. I'm totally against RahXephon being called an Evangelion rip off, so don't even think of comparing them XD

Well i have seen the first 3 dvds (so about half of the series). I like it, the music, story and art. A little implied sexual stuff, but nothing is shown. It makes me think of early Evangelion. (But I like RahXephon better so far, and as long as they don't just go crazy on the ending [like NGE] it would have to be better).

Fortunately.... The guys that made Rah Xephon seemed to feel the same about the end of NGE.... The Rah Xephon is not only intelligible (Sort of. Somethings took me a few days of thinking, but that's nothing compared to the six-ish months of intense research I did for the Eva Ending....) but satisfying. Rah Xephon is by far, I think, the best anime out there at the moment. Certainly my favorite.

Also, Rah Xephon episode 19 is the single best half hour of animation ever....But only if you've seen the series up to that point, so don't go skipping ahead.

Thanks - I'm thinking about buying it now.

I don't know why so many people had a hard time with the last eps of Eva... It really fixed my dimming opinion of the show... Until I saw EoE, that is... GRR... (EoE really screwed me up...)

Is it good nought to buy??? Is ther anyway to preview it?

PostPosted: **Tue Oct 28, 2003 11:36 am**

ive seen around 15 eps

i kinda stoped watching it, cause it was kinda wierd

PostPosted: **Tue Oct 28, 2003 12:07 pm**

weird? in what sense?

PostPosted: **Tue Oct 28, 2003 8:03 pm**

hmm, well i don't know... lots of these sci-fi/mecha animes are "weird." Still i love it... it is in my top 5 for sure. i can only hope they don't mess it up in the end... i think there is only one more dvd to come out. Still this series seems to get clearer as it goes on... compared to some series...

PostPosted: **Tue Oct 28, 2003 8:05 pm**

Does this series have a lot of religious themes like Evangelion does? People often compare the two shows.

PostPosted: **Tue Oct 28, 2003 8:09 pm**

Nah. i can't remember anything like that, i have seen up to like episode 21 or so. there a few major things that can be linked to NGE, but really... they are pretty different. While i liked NGE at first it really didn't appeal to me as it went on, while Rah just gets better an better so far. i am hopeing for a good ending... not some rushed junk.

Is it scary like Akira? Is it anti-Christian in any way?

No

honestly I haven't seen any anti Chrstian anime my self (it either has chrstians themes or doesn't I've yet to see an anime that is anti chrstian)

that being said RahXephon is an amazing anime and easier to swollow than Eva and most importantly it has a happy ending. (I heard)

PostPosted: **Sun Nov 02, 2003 2:56 pm**

i've seen the first few episodes and the nimation is really pretty. I really like it so far and it's interesting, I do hope it ends cohesively though... It seems like each episode they just add more and more mysterious things (which i don't really have a problem with since it puts you in the same mindset as the main character).

I don't know how it ends but the ending is Happy.

I watched Rahxephon and it is deffinetelly not of God. It is about gods, and gods can't do anything for you because they are fake. God is the only way!

But it's only fiction

PostPosted: **Mon Nov 03, 2003 11:07 pm**

not just God... Christ is the only way.

anywho... the Mu don't seem to claim to be 'gods' to me... maybe that was earlier in the series. And also, i don't think anyone is taking the anime as gospel.

we bought the box set for my brother on christmas.

it starts getting interesting towrard the end its a definite to buy!

PostPosted: **Thu Nov 06, 2003 8:22 pm**

huh? a bible!?

there is THE BIBLE

and then there are hackers biibles

so really that's no biggie

PostPosted: **Thu Nov 06, 2003 9:01 pm**

you know it just has all the info about the series. There are many things out there that claim to be bibles. Its not meant in any spiritual way, its just meant to be the most informative about a certain subject.

Actually i saw this at the bookstore today... not worth the 15 dollars. it is mainly pictures and character bios. I guess if you are a total fan then it would be nice.

PostPosted: **Thu Nov 06, 2003 9:45 pm**

oh no i didn't think

PostPosted: **Thu Nov 06, 2003 11:47 pm**

I'm enjoying Raxhephon; but yeah, why did they call the art book a bible? It's not a big deal to me, however. It's just the way they've chose to promote their show.

PostPosted: **Fri Nov 07, 2003 4:27 am**

In defense of calling it a bible (note: bible, not Bible), a lot of television shows internally have 'bibles' written by the show's creator or head writers which amount to complete character descriptions, their motivations, their dress styles, what they will and won't do, limits to their behaviour and (in some cases) the intended length of the character on the show.

I don't know if this is at all why they called the book that, or even if they ever write up true bible-like outlines for anime series anyway, but it's worth a mention

PostPosted: **Fri Nov 07, 2003 7:24 pm**

>_< i don't have a problem with people callin stuff like that bibles so long as they don't mean it in a religous manner...

according to my dictionary a bible can be simple a book which is considered authoritive in it's field...

ahh yes i see.

PostPosted: **Mon Nov 10, 2003 7:22 pm**

Yes it's very cool.
I have a poster for this series in the same style
