Hmm, now there's a topic. I've expressed my intrest in both of these, and while I'll admit I like both, even though RahXephon had to sit with me for a while before we agreed on truce. I'd heard wonderful things before I'd seen it, and when I watched disc one, I have to say, I felt let down, it seemed like cliche after cliche. However, I did feel it picked up a bit after that, but the copies didn't go away (in fact, the 'grope' scene felt a copy and paste). However, I still feel that the show retains some tint of originality. Despite the fact that I am enjoying it, I feel inclined to join the majority of people and consider it a better drawn NGE with a happy ending (how could they do such a thing? lol). I won't do that though, I've not seen it all though, so I'm reserving judgement until I have. I've done my research, I always do, and I came across quite an interesting site, evaxephon.com/ which outlines some of the similarities, even if some of these are fairly farfetched, the point does get across. There is one important thing I feel was left out: the misplaced mother figure. What I mean by this is Quon and Rei, and while Quon is basically a Rei clone (no pun intended, really), and this is mentioned, I didn't read anywhere that similarity. Perhaps I'm not reading well enough, I'm tired. Whatever, rant over, despite the fact that I doubt anyone will read this.
