Rah Xephon: The Motion Picture

I really didn't care for the RahXephon motion picture. I felt a bit cheated when I saw it. I liked the new footage, but why use footage from the show? Are they (Bones) really that cheap? If you're going to make a movie, put some effort into it.

Another cool thing that happened was a wrong pricing. On the RahXephon movie cover, it said $19.99 but when I went to pay for it, it rang up like $16.XX! (Whatever amount of cents...I forgot) After tax, I only had to pay $17.XX! I was like "COOL! I'm not gonna say anything and see if I can get away with this." Well, I did. Sweetness...saved me some money.

Spoiler wrote:Think Asahina for example, she was a human, who's Mulian couterpart 'merged' (for lack of a better word) with her, and thusly when Ayato smushed the Dolem she died with it.

Actually that only sort of true. According to the liner notes in the last DVD of the show:

Spoiler wrote:Humans and Mu are actually offshoots of the same species. Earth was originally colonised 10s of thousands of years ago by the Mu who eventually evolved into humans. However, some blue blooded Muians still existed for 1000s of years on the surface until crossbreeding with humans bred them out.

The Muians in Tokyo Jupiter are a group of the normal Mu "government" (for lack of a better word), come to return Earth's colony to Muian rule.

It actually is more complicated than that; I'm simplifying things greatly.

and don't forget that

When Ayato goes back inside Tokyo Jupiter and Haruka follows with her pilot friend.. they see the flying dolem thingies that do something about mind control.. so people don't see that they have blue blood (heck.. the people don't even see the flying dolem units floatin around).. Asahina's worrying for Ayato kind of brought out the truth and she began to see things as they are (even though at first, she denied that her blood was blue asking ayato if her blood was red.. and ayato reassured by saying, 'yes, it's red' )

THANK YOU, generalhs! That was a great explanation. At least, a much better one than 'Mu are people with blue blood and regular humans have red blood'.

I wonder, though, how the Mu made Dolems and stuff like that and how they made the giant Jupiter-shaped barrier.

i'd need to rewatch a few eps to explain how the dolems are created.. or at least come close to explaining it at all...

and the big jupiterness was created during the Great Mu War.. and the humans used like a bomb which created the atmosphere to trap the 'main mulians(i supposed)' in there..

Not really...it just gave some history as to what happened before the series even really started.
