RahXephon is about a hero, Ayato falling in love with another person. Yes, both shows are surreal psychological takes on giant robot apocalypses, yet RahXephon is its own unique experience.Įvangelion is about depression. RahXephon still has great animation 16 years later, its storyline is not half as messy as its predecessor, and the cast is actually stronger here. Despite its reputation, this is no cheap Eva rip-off.
One of the series unfortunately covered in that shadow is RahXephon. RahXephonĮ vangelion is the kind of show that casts a big shadow. Despite the many issues, or more likely because of them, Evangelion is one of the greatest anime TV shows ever made. Even the anime’s production was a giant mess. The hero is annoying if you’re looking for action, the story is a confusing muddle even on your tenth rewatch, and infamously the original TV ending was pure nonsense. Finally, to like Evangelion you’ll want a high tolerance for experimental arthouse filmmaking. Plus the Armageddon depicted in this series requires a dual degree in existentialist philosophy and early Christian Gnosticism to fully understand. He’s a deeply depressed preteen who is just as likely to wallow in bed than actually fight aliens in his giant robot.
Shinji Ikari is not the kind of hero that fits in popular fiction. It is also truly impressive something this odd became as popular as it did. Evangelion is an all-time classic of the genre. If you’re even remotely interested in anime you’ve probably had this show pushed on you a dozen times already. You don’t need me to recommend Evangelion to you. Neon Genesis EvangelionĮvangelion is the most obvious choice for an apocalyptic anime, and for good reason. Maybe reality itself is blown to oblivion for good measure. So, here are five anime series to watch if you really want to feel terrible for about a week. Then, sometimes the entire human race goes with them. They don’t just kill off half the cast, they kill off the entire cast. That means anime shows can end in ways that would make even Thanos depressed. Dragon Ball notwithstanding, most anime deaths are for keeps.
