Editorial reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
As the story of RahXephon unfolds, its similarities to and differences from Neon Genesis Evangelion--the subject of heated online debates--become increasingly evident. Unlike Shinji, Ayato is curious--and suspicious about the events surrounding him. He's right to be suspicious: lurking in the shadows is mysterious billionaire Ernst Von Bähbem, who may be over 500 years old. His relationships with TERRA, the Mulians, and Ayato are only hinted at. Quon begins to discover her latent powers, although "the time of her awakening has not yet come." Music exerts a curious power in this world: Quon floats toward a great Mulian egg singing the familiar "Second Polovtsian Dance" of Borodin. The ultimate success of the series will rest on whether director Yutaka Izubuchi ties all these elements together more satisfactorily than he did in Gasaraki. (Rated 15 and older: violence, brief nudity, minor profanity, tobacco and alcohol use)

The Saga continues with a turn towards the dark side
The first thing that strikes me about this DVD is that fact that they have skimped on an episode where by you get only 3 as opposed to 4 in the previous volume, that is a little annoying :S but as for the story, this series seem to have reached that point in every classic Anime series where the dark sinister plot twists start to kick in, though only softly at first, the actual battles between the Rah Xephon and the Dolems are getting fewer and further between and much more emphisis is being placed upon the characters and their relevant relationships, which in this case is a good thing as the charcters in this series are surprisigly deep and endearing, there are quite a few dark alteriour motives starting to bubble to the surface with particular characters while the driving reasons behind others are better explored and explained, those expecting all out mech battling will be sorly dissapointed by this volume and for me the loss of an episode was sneaky profit making move on behalf of ADV, but for those looking for some serious character developements this is one for you :)
