In trying to understand the series, I've tried to use Eva as something to compare it to. However, there are gaps. I welcome any corrections so that I may understand the show better and appriciate it more than I already do.
There are probably a few more (in fact, I'm sure of it), but it's late and I'm tired.Simililarities between RahXephon and Evangelion wrote:Ayato = Shinji, naturally. However, Ayato isn't a complete pussy and seems to have more solid emotional footing.
RahXephon = Evangelion Unit 01. Ayato merges with it and completes the whole tuning-of-the-world thing.
Quon = Rei. A creation of a strange organization (the Foundation) for the purpose of "tuning the world". Like Rei, she's mysterious, tends to speak in poetic terms, and has unnaturally colored hair.
Reika = Rei as well? I'm still trying to figure her out, and I think most of my confusion lies in the fact that I never quite understood Reika's purpose
Haruko = Misato. This is the closest I can get to a complete match. She loves Ayato much like Misato loves Shinji.
TERRA = NERV. I need not go farther into detail.
Lord Bahbem = Gendo Ikari. Evil dude who wants to shape the world for his own ambitions.
The Foundation = SELEE. Evil organization created to shape the world.
Dolem = Angels.
Vermillions = Eva Mass-Production series.
Anyway, I would appriciate any advice/comments that anybody can offer in terms of trying to understand RahXephon. I'm by no means completely baffled, but much like with Evangelion I still need to figure some thigns out.
thanks,
