Anime Love (Part 2)
Ok, so if you’ve been waiting for part two, you’ll not be disappointed for long. My anime selection of the month will move on to RahXephon and Escaflowne. The guide line is Mechas!!
RahXephon: It’s the story of a 17 year old boy named Ayato Kamina. He lives in a near future Tokyo. After his city is attacked he mysteriously finds himself in control of a giant God-like bio-mechanical war machine. At first he merges unwillingly with the “RahXephon” to protect his friends and family. But he quickly learns that something is not right in the world he lives in. He discovers that the world he was raised in is similar to what we’ve seen in the Truman Show. His parents and friends all have blue blood! Ultimatley he encounters a women who proposes to show him the truth about the world he lives in.
This anime involve themes like love, war and purpose in live. At some point in the 26 running episodes you’re introduced with new characters that make the plot even more confusing. But that’s ok! IT’s alright to mix futuristic machines and super-natural events such as alternate dimensions or mind control. Music was really important throughout this anime and it’s one reason why it’s opening theme is now my all time favorite song.
Vision of Escaflowne: (You’ll have to wait for part 3 ??)
