RahXephon

The Anime Review by Moggy
I finaly finished collecting and watching this whole series, and all the while I could not help but feel I had seen this story somewhere else before.
RahXephon is a form of the 'Giant-Robot' anime, but not the normal run of the mill kind. This is a highbrow piece much like Evangelion, with intense overtures of emotions lacing the story. In fact, so similar is the mood, pacing, and story to Evangelion, you'll wonder if its creator was on the staff for the older piece. RahXephon (the name of the giant robot in this series) is different enough, however, to warrant a viewing even from hard core Evangelion fans. or one, the animation is of a different style which has a sleek, clean look to it that translates superbly in action sequences. Also, the story seems pieced together better. While Evangelion seemed to suffer from a sudden absence of budget, which in turned forced the creator to hack off and hash the remainder of the story, it appears that Bone, Inc. had no problems of that sort with RahXephon. The story has definition, and while inturrupted by the occasional bit character storylines, it flows well and is understandable. But aside from all that, Evangelion did it all first, and if youve seen that before, RahXephon will seem like a possuer- 6 out of 10. If you HAVEN'T seen Evangelion, then RahXephon is excellent- 8 out of 10.
