Rahxephon episode 3 dubbed
Watch RahXephon (Dub) Episode 13 – KissAnime – In the year 2012 Japan was invaded by the Mu. Human-like beings from another dimension with blue blood. In the
RahXephon is a show full of mysteries that carrying a musical motif behind them. It is also a show that explores it’s themes, character motivations, and uses the robots in question in a big picture sort of way instead of getting down and dirty in the mud with them to tell you all the meticulous details. That makes in the context of the series, because there is always a god watching over everything. The ending theme is framed in a way that represents this aspect. It’s very easy to call RahXephon a monster of the week show, but the enemies in question, called Dolems, don’t attack every episode. As far as RahXephon goes, the world is never in that much jeopardy so there is more focus on character interactions, Ayato’s situation inside of Terra, intrigue, interference with Terra from government’s across the world, and just day to day lives of the people of Terra. RahXephon never tells you what the RahXephon is until the end of the series. Even then, can you say you know for sure? It doesn’t matter though. That’s not the point of all of this.
Thank you for the review. Yes, I know RahXephon has its issues, but I didn’t think it was the all out EVA rip-off that fans unjustly dubbed it. I’m a Kimba fan, and RahXephon isn’t even close to ripping off EVA as hard as TLK did to Tezuka’s signature lion. Shoot, Inception ripped off Paprika harder, too! Also, at least not everyone dies in the ending compared to End of Evangelion! Hahaha! I did think it it had legitimately good things in it, and the Otaku need to calm down. I’m glad you were the voice of reason in this controversy.
Beyond its heavy use of music as an important plot device, it is also highly effective in its visuals. I think there are few episodes in any anime that left such a deep impression on me as RahXephon’s episode 19. As Ayato desperately tries to protect his childhood friend Hiroko from the attacking Mulian in an ironic gesture whose futility can only be appreciated by the audience, the entire city’s power grid became a flashing display for a young girl’s heartfelt affection. The word “goodbye” trails off into infinity and, after a moment of darkness, the city is once again lit up. A powerful and imaginative scene.
RahXephon has Maaya, enough said. And I don’t foresee this trend of your posts being published on a specific date not abating… anytime soon.
Has anyone done a proper Rah-Reideen comparison? Even more fitting now that Production IG have done their own Reideen remake (I hated the first episode – did it ever get any better?). Izubuchi freely admits to using a lot of Reideen’s ideas. Frankly the only reason there are so many Rah-Eva comparisons is that most of the other mecha shows inspired by Eva weren’t anywhere near as good. You don’t find hordes of people debating the merits of Argento Soma on the interwebs these days…
I can’t even remember what RahXephon was about, to be honest. All I really remember about it is three things. A) Confusing as hell. B) Maaya Sakamoto is <3. C) Hemisphere is probably one of the best songs of anime, ever.
I often wonder how i would feel if i had seen RahXephon (or any other giant robot, made by man from aliens anime) before i had seen Evangelion. I enjoy both shows greatly however, i find that i can watch RahXephon again without cringing at certain points. The whole show is enjoyable and you can connect with many of the characters… with Eva, you tend to know which episodes you like and which ones to avoid simply because they don’t push the right buttons!
This said, RahXephon is perhaps more adult in it emotional bonding than Eva ever could be… don’t get me wrong, i enjoy fanservice but sometimes its nice to pick your own characters to fall in love with rather than being told which ones your meant to like!
RahXephon also had Ayako Kawasumi <3
Hey Shadow, RahXephon is a good anime but its not strictly ‘action’. True it has giant mecha in it and there are some battles etc. but it has a completely different feel than Eva or any other the others you have seen… its well worth the look though if you’ve never seen it before.
