Guest Jupiter Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Really loved this anime. It has been around since 2002-2003. It is a very mythological based anime. Its sort of my obsession out of every anime that has existed. Its about this guy named Ayato Kamina. He's part of a god in human form...which gives him the ability to pilot this titan called the Rahxephon, which is another part of this goddess named Ixtli who in turn is the manifestation of Yoteatle . No, the Rahxephon...its not a robot. Yes, Ayato is immortal and the Muliens or Mu, immortals from another realm, refer to him as the Olin or the Pilot of the Rahxephon or The Tuner of Worlds. Quan Kisaragi is also Olin but she is part of Ixtli as well. Ayato quit aging at the age of 17. These invaders from another realm, no...they are not aliens, want to rule over the humans and it is up to Ayato Kamina to become one with Ixtley and turn back time and tune the worlds. Basically stop the invasion and turn back time itself erasing them from existence as Reika Mishima, the representation of Ixtley...basically Ixtli in the form of a woman pushing Ayato to complete his destiny. I recommend this anime to any and all anime fans. Here's a summary below that I quoted from the wikipedia. RahXephon (Japanese: ラーゼフォン Hepburn: Rāzefon?) is an anime series about 17-year-old Ayato Kamina, his ability to control a mecha known as the RahXephon, and his inner journey to find a place in the world. His life as a student and artist in Tokyo is suddenly interrupted by a mysterious stalker, strange planes invading the city and strange machines fighting back. The original 26-episode anime television series was directed by Yutaka Izubuchi. It was created by Izubuchi and Bones studio and it aired on Fuji TV from January to September 2002. It was produced by Fuji TV, Bones, Media Factory and Victor Entertainment. The series received critical acclaim and was subsequently translated, released on the DVD and aired in several other countries, including the United States. A 2003 movie adaptation RahXephon: Pluralitas Concentio was directed by Tomoki Kyoda, with plot changes and new scenes. The series also spun into novels, an extra OVA episode, an audio drama, a video game, illustration books and an altered manga adaptation by Takeaki Momose. The central elements of RahXephon's plot are music, time, archetypal mystery, intrigue and romance. The series shows influences from philosophy, Japanese folklore and Western literature, such as the work of James Churchward. The cultural background of the series is dominated by Mesoamerican and other Pre-Columbian civilizations. Director Izubuchi said RahXephon was his attempt to set a new standard for mecha anime, as well as to bring back aspects of 1970s mecha shows like Brave Raideen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RahXephon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
