List of RahXephon media

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of episodes and media from the Japanese science fiction series RahXephon.

RahXephon began production as an anime television series in 2001. A manga version, a novelization, soundtracks and an audio drama were published during and after the original broadcast, which lasted from January to September 2002. The series was released on DVD in Japan during its original broadcast, and was subsequently translated and both broadcast and released on DVD in other countries.

A television movie, a RahXephon video game, and an OVA episode were released a year later, in 2003. Characters, mecha and story from RahXephon were featured in a game in the Super Robot Wars series. Art books, guide books and additional novels were also released. This list includes video games and music, but not toys, hobby articles and other merchandise.

[edit] Episodes

In keeping with the musical theme of RahXephon, episodes are called "movements" and each volume of DVD is called an "orchestration". Each episode has a title screen that provides an English title for that episode, which generally does not correspond to a translation from the Japanese title.

The episode list contains 26 regular episodes, one recapitulation episode and one extra episode that was originally released on video (OVA).

The original air dates are schedule dates; these are calendar dates until the April series break, when Fuji Television moved RahXephon from Monday afternoons into a Tuesday late night anime block. Episodes 10 through 26 started at 25:55, which is at 1:55 a.m. Wednesday.[1][2] This means that the calendar dates of the first and last episode airings are January 21, 2002 and September 11, 2002, respectively. Stations in the Fuji Network System affiliate Tōkai Television Broadcasting network started airing the series in the late night but moved it to late afternoons after the same series break.[3] RahXephon thus remained both a late night and late afternoon anime series throughout its original run.

Episode type Number Starting time Approx. length
   Normal episode 26 Afternoon, then late night (Fuji)
Late night, then afternoon (Tōkai)		 23 minutes
   Recapitulation episode 1 26:15 23 minutes
   Original video episode 1 N/A 15 minutes

DVD video

Depending on the distributor, DVDs were packaged individually with comprehensive liner notes, with an optional collecting box, as a full box, and in "thin" box collections without the liner notes. The number of episodes per disc also varies between distributors and between editions. Early box sets did not include the movie, but some of the later sets did.

In Japan, the Media Factory DVD release started while the series was still airing. RahXephon a prelude (ラーゼフォン a prelude 前奏曲?), containing a "making-of" documentary and trailers, was released as a prelude on 29 March 2002. Its content was used as bonus material in the international releases. The series itself was released on nine volumes of DVD, the first one on 31 May 2002.

The series and the movie were licensed internationally. ADV Films released the show on seven volumes of DVD in the United States and United Kingdom. In addition to the Japanese bonus materials, ADV included interviews with some of their voice actors. Other distributors released the show in other regions and languages.

ADV Films announced new High-Definition DVDs for release in 2005; each volume would have one disc of HD video and another with both DTS 5.1 and Dolby 5.1 audio for the standard definition video,[20] but these were delayed[21] and failed to materialise in both 2005 and 2006. Media Factory released a DVD box in spring 2007 which included a HD DVD edition of the movie, new art by Akihiro Yamada, and a re-release of the OVA episode.[6]

[edit] RahXephon video game

RahXephon for PS2, regular edition cover
RahXephon for PS2, regular edition cover

The RahXephon video game, Blue Sky Fantasia[30] (ラーゼフォン 蒼穹幻想曲 Rāzefon Soukyū Gensokyoku?), was released for the PlayStation 2 by Bandai Japan on 7 August 2003; there is no English version. The game is mainly an adventure game with some action sequences. The player moves around in a 3D environment, learning about places and relationships, and moving the story toward one of forty different endings. In-game characters are voiced by their original seiyū and are animated while speaking. Cut scenes feature hand-drawn animation, some of which was made for the game. In the action sequences the player fights Dolems with the RahXephon; weapons and other RahXephon variants can be un-locked.

The special Plusculus edition of the video game contains an extra booklet and a DVD with the RahXephon OVA episode.

[edit] Super Robot Wars

The RahXephon characters and mecha have appeared in the game Super Robot Wars MX, mixed with those from other shows. RahXephon's story-line also had a major role in the game's overall mixed plot, as the series' climax was also the climax of the game. In the game, the RahXephon is a very powerful unit, with the power of a Super Robot but much of the agility of a Real Robot; although not quite as overwhelming as the Zeorymer, it is one of the more effective units.
