		RahXephon isn't nearly as intellectual or theoretical, but is instead much more mysterious and subtle and, I dare say, artistic than Evangelion.
		I wouldn't say that RahXephon "rips off" Evangelion, especially considering that Evangelion itself is a psychological parody and theoretical analysis of the giant robot anime genre that's existed since the early 1970s.
		To summarize in an analogy, RahXephon is to Evangelion as Baz Luhrmann's Romeo+Juliet is to Franco Zeffirelli' Romeo & Juliet.

	RahXephon Anime Review - Tokidoki Entertainment Journal - Anime and Video Game Community
		After watching the first DVD I decided that this was unfounded because RahXephon managed to set itself apart from Eva in a number of ways.
		If RahXephon had simply been a substandard copy of the Eva formula, then yes it would be bad.
		RahXephon has wonderfully fitting music in the intense battle scenes as well as beautiful piano and orchestral music to compliment the more subtle or dramatic scenes.

		RahXephon comes to an end with both a bang and a whimper, pleasing those who want the action and those who want one of the more complex plots animated to come to fruition.
		RahXephon is a series that is a must for marathoning.
		RahXephon is one of the more complex series that I’ve had the pleasure of watching throughout 2003 and one that I’m eager to revisit in a shorter timeframe to put all the pieces together more carefully.

	RahXephon
		Led by fate, his blood and the secrets of RahXephon, he embarks on a journey that is a much about himself as it is about the future of humanity.
		RahXephon, while maintaining a level of artistic inventiveness bordering on radical, focuses instead on the outside world and how it changes the self within.
		Even his relationship with the RahXephon is an aspect of this - his first assimilation into it is locked in his deep subconscious, but the ‘machine' will not let him forget, as if it needs him to realise its own self and place in the world.

	RahXephon - By Cassie
		There was only one disappointing episode out of RahXephon's twenty-six, but it was very early on, and I felt they could have done more with the character then introduced if they'd had more time; the character remains somewhat neglected throughout the series, but since she's not the main focus, I didn't mind much.
		Rahxephon is by far one of best Anime series for the new century.
		The RahXephon series debuted on Japanese TV in 2002 and became an immediate sensation, with fierce action and the multilayered complexity of the plot and characters drawing in viewers by the tens of thousands.

	THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - RahXephon
		RahXephon is about as brain-numbingly complex as the measurement problem of quantum mechanics.
		However, RahXephon is exemplary insofar as it is subtle, as many of the most striking facets of this tale are hidden among the more accessible portions of the series.
		In conclusion, RahXephon is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest anime ever, a sublime experience that is rivaled by very few existing titles.

	Anime Review: RahXephon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		And the way the characters are drawn in RahXephon is amazing - the detail in the way they show emotion really makes you believe they are really reacting to the events rather than the stereotypical reactions in Eva.
		Sure, the entire point of RahXephon revolves around a love story (well, ok, there are several love triangles in the mix) but it works really well.
		RahXephon is gorgeous, from character design, to animation, to backgrounds.

	RahXephon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although RahXephon is usually placed in the mecha genre of anime, its "mechas" are not fully mechanical.
		The RahXephon is connected physically, mentally, and emotionally to its instrumentalist.
		RahXephon's Nirai, Kanai, and the bay between them are shaped like commas, a shape shared with magatama and the Taijitu symbol.

	Anime News Network - Review
		RahXephon mixes exciting visuals, a strong soundtrack, a vibrant plot line, and interesting characters to produce a series that breaks new ground for an almost stagnant giant robot genre.
		While there is still much left to be revealed in future episodes, RahXephon so far manages to hold back the dark tones of its driving plot by allowing character development that moves away from a simple degeneration and destruction of personality.
		RahXephon should prove to be a strong title for ADV.

	RahXephon Introduction
		In a nutshell RahXephon is the telling of Ayato's journey to discover precisely what is going on and what his place is in it all as the pilot of the RahXephon itself.
		RahXephon does not have such lofty goals and while it does have a great deal of psychological exploration it's primary aim is to tell a love story set against a sweeping war.
		RahXephon as a result plays fairer with the viewer and relies less on quite such intensely neurotic central characters.

	: RevolutionSF - RahXephon Orchestration 1: Threshold : Review
		Ayato is alarmed when his friend Reika starts singing an unearthly tune, and even more alarmed when her singing causes the egg to hatch and a giant humanoid robot with angel wings emerges.
		When Reika is apparently killed during the fight, Ayato's rage unleashes RahXephon's full power, vaporizing one of the dolems and in a burst of light taking himself and Haruka outside the barrier surrounding Tokyo.
		When he and the RahXephon save TERRA's main base from an attacking Mu creature (which bears more than a passing resemblance to the dolems protecting occupied Tokyo), though, Ayato is quickly given a position within TERRA, and assigned to live with Haruka and her younger (and bitchier) sister.

		He is the only person who can pilot RahXephon, and as assaults on the city continue he finds himself fighting to defend his world, even as evidence mounts that everything - and everyone - he thought was true isn't anymore.
		Return to the world of RahXephon, where humans and Mu fight for dominance over a shattered Earth, and giant statues are the ultimate weapons.

	"RahXephon" (2002) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		OK, I have just finished watching RahXephon and I mean it when I say that RahXephon is a show that should not be missed by anybody who's a mecha fan, a drama type fan or an anime fan in general cause the show is just that good.
		The story is such an incredibly detailed story, every character is likable and has a story to tell, the art is fantastic and the animation for a lot of the battle sequences are great also.
		A lot of fans will say that RahXephon is similar to Evangelion, in a way its similar but its a lot more of a joyful series than Evangelion, I mean Evangelion is like the fl series while RahXephon is the white series.

	: RevolutionSF - RahXephon Volume 2: Tonal Pattern : Review
		All the cool mindf[il]k elements from the first volume, like Ayato's mom having alien blood, Ayato discovering that Tokyo is actually 15 years behind the rest of the world, and that the alien invaders might actually be his own people, are kinda dismissed here, though.
		We get jealous reactions from that girl over the strange attention shown to Ayato by another girl, who just so happens to be the deeply mysterious sort who spends a suspicious amount of time getting medical tests run on her.
		If you've never seen "Evangelion", you'll eat this stuff up with a spoon, as the excellent character interaction draws you in (with, fortunately, characters that are a HELL of a lot more sympathetic and appealing than the ones in "Eva"), and the later plot developments dealing with the show's central mysteries are set up.

		Now, Ayato, along with RahXephon, is a pivotal part of a war he didn't know about, and a nightmare he doesn't want to take part in.
		RahXephon is an original series, and an excellent one at that.
		RahXephon does come across as being a Neon Genesis Evangelion clone, and although this statement is true along some lines, it still manages to buck the trend by putting together an incredibly deep plot.

	RahXephon Timeline
		RahXephon has a very detailed plot behind it that spans thousands of years.
		While the series does indeed play fair with the viewers and generally gives you all the clues you need to sort the story out it can be easy to miss an important reference.
		This barrier is what has been containing the instrumentalists being prepared by the Mu allowing them to rapidly expand their powerbase out into the world.

	RahXephon \| Anime.com Anime Shrines
		RahXephon is a deep, complex seinen (animation for a young-adult male audience, more mature than shonen), literate in scope with nuances that only serious anime fans will appreciate.
		RahXephon resembles Neon Genesis Evangelion in many respects, with plenty of action, loads of drama, some extremely painful (but exceptionally well executed) tragedy, and gobs of character development.
		RahXephon requires multiple viewings before it all makes sense, but when the light bulb comes on, you'll feel the revelation.

	RahXephon \| Anime Reviews \| SCI FI Weekly
		Once again, an anime series pits a sullen boy linked to a biomechanical alien device against a series of mysterious alien foes as he struggles to come to terms with his family issues, his sense of isolation and abandonment and his relationships with the mercurial and unpredictable women he's forced to associate with.
		Still, RahXephon puts an unusually twisty spin on the usual Evangelion knockoff—revelations like the fact that Ayato's mother has blue blood will keep viewers guessing for a while, as they try to determine who (if anyone) are really the good guys in this series.
		RahXephon is initially confusing, and slow to open up, but at least it's never obvious or simplistic.

		RahXephon has all the Eva touches down pat: moody adolescent mecha pilots, massive conspiracies set in motion by mysterious organizations, and a penchant for pregnant pauses and religious symbols.
		RahXephon has been such an experience for me, and it is one I will not soon forget.

	Opus // Movie Reviews // RahXephon
		Not a lot of people give this series a real chance but this series is full or comedy and drama and romance and lots and lots or action with a twist of mystery.
		Rahxephon is the most beautifully drawn, colored, and animated anime I have ever seen.
		The only short-coming Rahxephon has is that the plot is too complex (if you even consider that a short coming!).

		At the end of the series, he succeeds in becoming one with the RahXephon and re-tunes the world to one where he was not separated from Haruka and the two are married with a child called Quon.
		She leads Ayato to the RahXephon, and is shown to have a connection to the giant dolem.
		It is later revealed that her true name is Ixtli, that she is essentially the soul of the RahXephon, and that she is a manifestation of Ayato's desires which enables him to connect with and fully use the RahXephon.

	DVD.net : RahXephon 1 - Threshold - DVD Review
		For despite being steeped in mecha law, series’ like RahXephon and Evangelion are entertaining not for the action sequences (which are impressive here nonetheless) but for the internal struggles, the relationships and interactions between the various characters that, done properly, make the main plot largely superfluous.
		Already RahXephon displays evidence of this and despite the fact that I’m still in the dark as to where the series is headed, on the face of these first five episodes it looks likely to be as entertaining and satisfying as its predecessor.
		Sadly, RahXephon is one of those numerous anime titles to have been lavished with a Dolby Digital 5.1 remix for its dub into English, while the infinitely superior, original Japanese track languishes in Dolby Digital stereo.

	RahXephon review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		A few years before the story starts, Tokyo was cut off from the rest of the planet by a dome-shaped force field.
		RahXephon -- the giant mecha-like entity that Ayato discovered -- fights more effectively against the dolems than anything the Terran forces have, but only the unmilitary Ayato can pilot it.
		It eventually becomes clear that RahXephon is fantasy, not SF, and magic, not physics, keeps the dolems aloft and powers the RahXephon.

		Instead of this, RahXephon focuses more on time and music as a means of bringing about a successful storyline, which I have thoroughly enjoyed, seeing as I have never seen music used in such a way (for a mech series, or for any anime series, really).
		RahXephon isn´t a shallow "kill everything you see" anime like Gundam, and although it isn´t as "deep" as Evangelion, its definately a good, original anime.
		RahXephon was to me, what Evangelion was supposed to have been.
