Some guy called Ayato Kamina lives a normal life with his mother and goes to school with his friends a cute girl called Hiroko Asahina and some average joe wannabe Mamoru Torigai. That all changes after some weird humanoid robots that are known as Dolems attack the city of Tokyo. Ayato meets a mysterious beautiful long-haired girl in a yellow dress named Reika Mishima. She takes him into a sanctuary which is a resting place of the Rahxephon, another Robot that looks like a cross between an eva and an escaflowne to fight the Dolem. Upon its awakening, Ayato finds himself synchronising with the machine and it takes him to the world beyond Tokyo. It seems that Tokyo, more precisely called Tokyo Jupiter, has been cut off from the rest of the world. Those living within the boundaries of Tokyo Jupiter believe that the rest of the world has been decimated, when in fact they live in a world controlled by the Mu. Now, facing the truth, Ayato must come to terms with his new reality, for he is a central element in the fate of mankind.
The series does have some really good quality animation from Bones which is no surprise given they also made many other good animes like Eureka Seven and Fullmetal Alchemist.
As far as characters go Ayato is kinda like Shinji and Renton though being more braver then the former and slightly mature given their age difference. Haruka she comes across more a older sister figure and mentor then a love interest. Look I know they were a couple before Haruka went missing but given the massive age difference they were now there were probably more suited candidates. The other characters were good if I had pick a favourite amongst the secondary I would say Megumi, Itsuki, Elvy and Quan were probably my favourite. There were a few I didn't really like such as the main characters mother Maya, Kim, Helena, Jin and Mamoru. For Mamoru I have many questions.
The story is well structured for most parts but we don't really have much of an origin behind the dolems.
The voice acting and the dub by adv was excellent.
So yeah if you are into stuff like Neon Genosis and Eureka Seven this might be right up your ally.
