Ayato Kamina thinks that he is just another high school student with his own small part to play in the world until the day he meets the eerily familiar Reika Mishima. In a moment of extreme danger, Re... read more read more...ika rescues Ayato and takes him outside of Tokyo, where it can be seen that the entire city is locked inside of a giant sphere. She explains to Ayato that the city he came from is now called Tokyo Jupiter and has been under the control of a menacing "alien" race called the Mu for the last decade. A condensed telling of the storyline in the Rahxephon series, Rahxephon: The Motion Picture explores Ayato's role as a creature of different origins than his peers, thus enabling him to pilot a specialized mecha called a Rahxephon, the only hope that humanity has for surviving against the Mu. Rahxephon: The Motion Picture draws inspiration from series such as Neon Genesis Evangelion in both appearance and metaphysical subtext. It also touches on the questions that arise as a result of the difference in the passage of time between Tokyo Jupiter and the outside world. Where is Ayato's true place in the world? And is there a reason that Reika seems so familiar? ~ Cammila Albertson, Rovi

    Both this and the series are pretty mediocre. There are stronger iterations in the mecha genre.

    The series was great. This was not quite as good. It is a NGE clone, but NGE is great, so what's wrong with cloning it.

    This is a good movie that you have to see the show all the way through to get. But it still delivers it's great plot characters ans story. The visuals are fantastic as well as the music. This is an anime of one of my top favorites which is saying something.

    It had a lot of symbology in it, and if you think about the concept of the stories, it leads to deeper questioning of human life...^_^
