The skilful blending of drawn animation and computer-generated imagery excited anime fans when this science fiction mystery was released in 1995: many enthusiasts believe Ghost suggests what the future of anime will be, at least in the short term. The film is set in the not-too-distant future, when an unnamed government uses lifelike cyborgs or "enhanced" humans for undercover work. One of the key cyborgs is The Major, Motoko Kusanagi, who resembles a cross between The Terminator and a Playboy centrefold. She finds herself caught up in a tangled web of espionage and counterespionage as she searches for the mysterious superhacker known as "The Puppet Master." Mamoru Oshii directs with a staccato rhythm, alternating sequences of rapid-fire action (car chases, gun battles, explosions) with static dialogue scenes that allow the characters to sort out the vaguely mystical and rather convoluted plot. Kusanagis final quote from I Corinthians suggests that electronic evolution may compliment and eventually supplant organic evolution. The minor nudity, profanity, and considerable violence would earn Ghost in the Shell at least a PG rating. --Charles Solomon

As the Mu launch a secession of attacks against the free world Terra is forced to use their secret weapon the Rahxephon despite the reluctance of its pilot. Lost in time and trapped in a world he thought had been destroyed Ayato must confront both a new wave of Dolem and his suspicions that he is only a pawn in a much larger game. The mysterious advances of the girl known as Quon and the reappearance of a supposedly dead friend are only a few of the many mysteries that must be unr
The city of Tokyo has been overthrown taken over by invaders who have devastated the rest of the planet. For 15 years the remnants of the human race have fought a losing battle against the Mu and their Dolem knowing that the key to victory lies within the domed walls of Tokyo Jupiter where time flows in a different path and none of the mind-wiped citizens even know that the city has been conquered. But no one has been able to get into Tokyo. Until now... Prepare for the ultimate paradigm shift as one young man learns the horrifying secret in RahXephon!
Return to the world of RahXephon where human and Mu fight for dominance over a shattered Earth and giant statues are the ultimate weapons. Where music forms the fabric of the universe and the link between two hearts is the thread upon which the fate of humanity hangs. It is still a love story but it is not the same story. Not exactly... Prepare for new visions and new revelations as the other side of RahXephon is finally revealed!
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)
At long last the war with the Mu reaches its climax. The truths that have been hidden are finally revealed. As Ayato stands on the brink of making the ultimate choice the future of not just one man and one woman but of two sentient races hangs in the balance... The symphony of light and terror of treachery and love is at last completed in the final astounding volume of Rahxephon!
As the Mu's grip on the city of Tokyo tightens Ayato now finds himself pursued between two worlds with close friends on both sides seeking to destroy him. Even after all he has experienced thus far the newest shocks he receives are the most terrifying of all! The secret power source of the Dolems is about to be unveiled and that secret will haunt him to the grave. In order to live he must be prepared to sacrifice anything even the life of a friend...
As TERRA's obsessive new commander begins a massive build-up for a final assault on Tokyo Jupiter Ayato's former friend Mamoru attacks Nirai-Kanai in his own Dolem seeking revenge for Hiroko's death. Meanwhile a mysterious new cadet has suddenly appeared within TERRA's ranks a cadet with a hauntingly familiar face. Confronted with his destiny Ayato must make a terrifying choice: to reclaim the RahXephon or sacrifice everything he holds dear. But even with the RahXephon can he st
