Having just watched it on the DVD, I thought it was a very, very solid one. it feels much more complete not getting interrupted every 20 minutes and they made an amazing job putting It together, well for some soapopera reason of mine i sometimes even missed the sweet ass clifhangers. No,, the only thing bugging me was the inbalacne between cgi scenes, the amazinlgy drawn scenes, and the not so amazinlgy drawn ones but The 5th Angels expressions made up for it and put a dropping jaw back on.
I did not know at all what to expect watching it, but "just" putting it together scene by scene feels like the only right thing to do with a

So wait, is this the "new" series you're talking about here? I remember reading a ways back they were going to redo the whole series.

Evangelion was actually one of the only anime shows I enjoyed. The characters are brilliant. Brilliant that is UNTIL the last few episodes, which were the biggest load of philosophical bullshit I have ever seen in my life. It totally ruined it for me.
I'll check out the redux.

I loved the ending. Evangelion would just be an average mecha anime without that brilliant ending.
I'm hoping for a more coherent storyline as well. I saw the first one in very low quality but it looked very promising. I'm very curious about the last bits.

Are there any differences between the original series and this new one? Supposedly Hideaki Anno wanted to correct some things he wasn't satisfied with in the series. If so, what has changed? How much material of the series does it cover?
And where did you get a copy?
Thanks. :D

This is a retelling of the story & cover the first 7 episodes of the series, (think of it like a sucessful remake of starwars). There´s a bit more depth and explaniation about the caracters,NERV,SEELE and the angels. Some complete new scenes and a wonderful sound.
There is a dvdrip on demonoid btw..

A friend of mine recommended RahXephon...said it was like neo genesis...I thought it paled in comparison though...and I didn't understand the ending of RahXephon

I also got that feeling from the first few episodes that I saw.. the girl in yellow gives off some kind of "idol promotion" feel or something...
I thought this new-fangled Neon Genesis stuff was just more remake stuff? Is it really worth watching?

DM, is this message really to me? I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean. It's getting late here, perhaps I'm too tired to understand it for now. :D
In any case, enjoy these two tunes by Kajetokun.

Haha, I was somehow replying to that they fight with sound, and how it seemed to me it was just a promo show for some new Japanese idol, but, yeah.. I don't really know how that is a reply. Something must be missing.

So they do fight with sound, then? Eh ... how? :D
All I can think of is that they scream at each other. Or clap hands really, really loud.
"Aaargh, my eyes ...!"
Here, I made my own theme-song for RahXephon.
Fight with sound, all your base are belong to us
fighting sound, bad robot, are belong to us
Japanese idol, figthing hard, so so lovely
Let's fighting love!
*End*
(allright, I'll admit, that was bad, but what the heck ...!)

Hahah, yeah, it's something like that... at least the fight thingie that I saw was a huge thing that was screaming and all the windows blew out.
However, I think the singing part goes "deeper" somehow, but not in the philosophical sense.. more in the sense that the thingies are somehow controlled by singing "arias" or something.
From the wiki:
"The overarching theme of RahXephon is one of music changing the world. The Dolems are animated by a quasi-mystical force that is connected to music; most of the controlling Mulians appear to be singing. A Dolem attacks while singing, and sometimes the attack is the song itself. The RahXephon can also attack by having its pilot — the "instrumentalist" — sing a note. This unleashes powerful forces (such as light-energy blasts or heat waves) that cause destruction on an apocalyptic scale. Each of the Mulian Dolems has an Italian name which references musical notation, such as Allegretto, Falsetto, or Vivace. The ultimate goal of the RahXephon is to "tune the world." Izubuchi says the name RahXephon lacked a real meaning, but that he now explains it as composed of Rah, which according to Churchward is the origin of Ra, X for the X factor (the unknown), and -ephon as a suffix for instrument (-phone).[2]"
