"I think there are few episodes in any anime that left such a deep impression on me as RahXephonâ€s episode 19. As Ayato desperately ... A powerful and imaginative scene." I have watched that clip (the version in the OVA is much better, btw - better music/action timing, voice acting, etc.) at least twenty times, and each time after watching, I still feel the heaviness in my chest. The little last smile and "goodbye" from Asahina at the end just kills.

I gotta say, i loved RahXephon.
The characters, the storyline, the mechs (apart from the wings coming from the dude’s head… ).
Awesome anime.

Witch Hunter Robin’s a bit boring, though. Not a fan of robin herself. Bit too deadpan.

Thankyou for the suggestions ill look into them. Also i think i gave a bad description of what i like as well as only providing examples which were all mecha. While i do like mecha it doesnt have to be strictly such. I LOVED scryed, DBZ up to and including the original fights against Freeza was good I also liked Death note, Noien for some reason it found to be really good. Furthermore the first parts of bleach were good to it really got monotonous after the bount arc. Simply put it has to only have a decent amount of action to keep things interesting for me in most cases and sometimes in the case of really well written anime such as death note little to none. For me plot and well designed characters are just as important to me as the action. And to really stray off my normal range for some reason i kinda liked prince of tennis, probly because it was another case of a fairly well written stoy with good characters.

Hey Shadow, RahXephon is a good anime but its not strictly ‘action’. True it has giant mecha in it and there are some battles etc. but it has a completely different feel than Eva or any other the others you have seen… its well worth the look though if you’ve never seen it before.

I guess you could carry on the theme of viewing shows which, when you look at them, have clearly been influenced by Evangelion… Gigantic Formula, iDOLM@ster (though this is more the cutie side of giant mecha) to name two that come to mind. Just got my hands on Neo Ranga and thinking of giving that a try.

If your looking at something totally different from your norm, try Garden of Sinners or even Xam’D Lost Memories.

I can’t say I have had the opportunity to see this one, however it does look good. Btw its been a while (since about halfway thruough code geass R2, or G00 s2) so hello to DM and ne1 who may remember me.

Btw if an1 has any suggestions for soem good action animes to watch I would love to hear them. I don’t, however, want to hear naruto or Bleach brought up im sick of them, they got monotonous after the firso 100-150 episodes.
I have Seen (and like) Outlaw Star, Evengelion, Gundam Wing, Code Geass, G00 and maybe a few others and im lookin for sumthin new to watch.

I often wonder how i would feel if i had seen RahXephon (or any other giant robot, made by man from aliens anime) before i had seen Evangelion. I enjoy both shows greatly however, i find that i can watch RahXephon again without cringing at certain points. The whole show is enjoyable and you can connect with many of the characters… with Eva, you tend to know which episodes you like and which ones to avoid simply because they don’t push the right buttons!

This said, RahXephon is perhaps more adult in it emotional bonding than Eva ever could be… don’t get me wrong, i enjoy fanservice but sometimes its nice to pick your own characters to fall in love with rather than being told which ones your meant to like!

I can’t even remember what RahXephon was about, to be honest. All I really remember about it is three things. A) Confusing as hell. B) Maaya Sakamoto is <3. C) Hemisphere is probably one of the best songs of anime, ever.

Still, on the lines of WHR, I do agree with that it is a great show with a crappy ending.
