just cause something might have the same concept as another story doesnt mean its a rip off especially if its good, we are all inspired by something. the theme of giant robot ending the world has been used before people come on
i love rahxephon, and i hate when people are just so quick to write it off as a eva rip off, just because its got a lot of depth in the psychology of the characters and their interwoven like, tragic hero theme, doesnt mean that its true.
For anyone that is just checking it out, its definitely worth buying and watching!! Just one of those anime series that really makes you think!!
@kawehna RahXephon is just about my favorite anime ever, but I can see the Eva comparisons. I usually tell people it's a more hopeful, less nihilistic take on some of the Eva concepts.
In many ways this was an Evangelion rip off, but it's original enough that it's worth watching at least once.
The scene that really stands out in my memory (saw this 4 years ago); (Spoiler Alert)
Was where his mother walks up to him while he's looking at himself in the mirror (when he's finally beginning to understand a little of what's going on) and smears her blue blood across his face and he screams more like a little #itch than Shinji Ikari ever could. Mindjob to the 10th power.
Ah, good to see more old schoolers catching that. You get a lot of people who take one glance at and yell EVANGELION! There is a lot of Eva inspiration/references in it, but those two more so inspired it.
this show was fucking genius. i loved it

At the very least, Rahxephon is not actually the Pilot's Mother, Father, Sister, Brother, Son, Daughter, or Pet Dog.
It really is just a God Mecha.
