From Amazon.co.uk

As the story of RahXephon unfolds, its similarities to and differences from Neon Genesis Evangelion--the subject of heated online debates--become increasingly evident. Unlike Shinji, Ayato is curious--and suspicious about the events surrounding him. He's right to be suspicious: lurking in the shadows is mysterious billionaire Ernst Von Bähbem, who may be over 500 years old. His relationships with TERRA, the Mulians, and Ayato are only hinted at. Quon begins to discover her latent powers, although "the time of her awakening has not yet come." Music exerts a curious power in this world: Quon floats toward a great Mulian egg singing the familiar "Second Polovtsian Dance" of Borodin. The ultimate success of the series will rest on whether director Yutaka Izubuchi ties all these elements together more satisfactorily than he did in Gasaraki. (Rated 15 and older: violence, brief nudity, minor profanity, tobacco and alcohol use)

Product Description

Three more episodes of the Japanese anime set in 2012, in which Tokyo teenager Ayato Kamina is chosen to lead the freedom organisation Terra in the fight against the alien dictators Mu, and to pilot the angel-winged giant mecha robot ReXephon. Just as Ayato begins to think he has finally learned the truth, the barriers between the world created by the Mu and the 'real' world start to disintegrate, causing the very fabric of time and space to unravel. Episodes are: 'Sonata of Recollection', 'Elusive Circuit' and 'The Black Egg'.

3.0 out of 5 stars The plot thickens. 23 Sep 2009
By @GeekZilla9000 TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
This volume contains three episodes (10 - 12) so you get slightly fewer episodes for your money than you did with the first two.

After a complex first volume, and a second volume which settled down to give us a 'slice of life' look at the many characters involved, Volume three delves deeper into some of the characters so far left unexplored.

Ayato seems far more comfortable in his role as RahXephon pilot and jumping into the giant machine to fight enemy Dolem is second nature to him now, but things are turned up-side-down for him after a strange experience which momentarily leaves him questioning everything when he gets lost inside his own head and finds he can do whatever he wants to do.

While Ayato is left a bit dazed we learn more about his commander, so far he's been something of a macho guy but here he is given some depth. He has a dark past and his duty to the military led him to execute a command which still plays on his mind and fills him with guilt. His sadness is magnified by the fact that he has an estranged family and yet more regrets. A lot of time is invested in bringing us his story, a perfect example of how this story is aimed at a slightly older audience who can appreciate the more emotionally articulate aspects of the characters. There's also some naughty goings on down in the hospital, and the though the hints are obvious - some younger viewers may miss them.

The enigmatic Quon remains a mystery, but by the end of episode 12 it's clear that she is initiating something which is going to be a major factor in forthcoming episodes. The series is constantly building up various sub plots and characters - even when RahXephon makes for confusing viewing you want to watch on.

The first thing that strikes me about this DVD is that fact that they have skimped on an episode where by you get only 3 as opposed to 4 in the previous volume, that is a little annoying :S but as for the story, this series seem to have reached that point in every classic Anime series where the dark sinister plot twists start to kick in, though only softly at first, the actual battles between the Rah Xephon and the Dolems are getting fewer and further between and much more emphisis is being placed upon the characters and their relevant relationships, which in this case is a good thing as the charcters in this series are surprisigly deep and endearing, there are quite a few dark alteriour motives starting to bubble to the surface with particular characters while the driving reasons behind others are better explored and explained, those expecting all out mech battling will be sorly dissapointed by this volume and for me the loss of an episode was sneaky profit making move on behalf of ADV, but for those looking for some serious character developements this is one for you :)
