you know, i never got around to watching the end of the show... i was about 8 episodes away and then i went off to school and had no access to a tv for 9 months. i really should watch the end... i had forgotten all about the show until now.


that version of "fly me to the moon" bugs me... actually, the song does, but especially that version, because it's so generic and it sounds like the singer doesn't know english and doesn't know what she's singing.

it's just one of those songs that every @#$! lame jazz group does... just hearing it makes me want to kill people. along with take five, summertime, chameleon... argh... learn some new material, people!

It looks interesting. I know Kaworu's coming in early, in fact even before Asuka. What other changes, I wonder? I heard there will be new characters. Who will those be?

Honestly, the ending sucks, you're so much better off without knowing it.
As the series came closer and closer to the end, the chapters became more and more boring, trying to insert philosofical stuff in a non-natural way. The episodes, specially the last three or four, are very random(abstract), forget all the action, story and characters that all the others had, these look like an amateur student learning to edit video, trying to put layer after layer of drawings "to look cool"...
They suck so much than later they made "death and rebirth", squezing the last 2 or 3 episodes and adding a (much needed) story.

Totally agree. It's a crappy cop out ending. The kind of endings I really hate from a story writing point of view.
Even though I regard End of Eva as the "psycho" ending, it's still better than the TV ending.


Back on topic, why is there a need to remake this? There was nothing wrong with the animation and has whole series has been remastered not too long ago.
Unless they're planning to fix the problems the series had, I don't see the point to this.

^^^ They are milking the cow, trying to squeeze every drop out of it...

See my point? You can't possibly squeeze RahXephon, only try to describe it from another point of wiew, like in the manga or in "Pluralitas Concentio", the movie. Anyway EVERYONE knows the "main" RahXehpon is the TV series whcih by the way plays wiht the mythology elements in a craftier and more devilishly way than EVA ever did. If you want a better approach to EVA, read Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's manga, that's the original draft

I'll second that. The manga is a much better telling of the same basic story--it cuts out a lot of the filler, has better character development and still manages to produce some surprising twists, even though I'd seen the anime.
