[QUOTE="TwinBahamut, post: 4475250, member: 32536"] I can respect it if you prefer NGE's somewhat edgier and violent nature over [i]RahXephon[/i]'s more serene and relaxed style, but for me the deciding factor is the fact that NGE's last two episodes are terrible beyond redemption, and RahXephon doesn't really suffer from that. Anyways, if people are going to post random stuff like [i]Burn Up[/i], then I may as well post a few more of the random stuff that [i]I[/i] liked. [i]Infinite Ryvius[/i]: This is pretty much what happens when you mix hard sci-fi, super robots, spaceships, and [i]The Lord of the Flies[/i]. It is a [i]very[/i] unusual anime, but it can be very good. [i]s-CRY-ed[/i]: This one is just a story about various people duking it out with cool superpowers, but I love it. [i]Mai-HiME[/i] (A.K.A. [i]My-Hime[/i]): This is a spin on the "magical girl" cliche that is pretty fun, and it has an unusual twist halfway through that turns it from being typical light-hearted fare into something quite unique. Also, it features a lot of cute girls and gigantic flaming mecha-dragons, which is always a plus. However, I would [i]not[/i] necessarily recommend Mai-HiME's (alternate universe?) sequel, [i]Mai-Otome[/i]. In addition to having worse pacing and less action than its predecessor, it takes the odd move of lowering the average age of the characters from high-school to noticeably younger, while at the same time greatly ramping up the sexualization of the characters, to reach a [i]very[/i] disturbing result. A great series I should have mentioned in my first list is [i]The Twelve Kingdoms[/i], a great fantasy story about a magic world ruled by gods and immortals. Just watch the first episode and you will probably get hooked. [/QUOTE]
