RahXephon

2015 AD. Tokyo is apparently the last city remaining on the otherwise devastated Earth. But high school student Ayato Kamina is caught up in a devastating attack on the city, from fighters that must have come from outside.

As the Mu launch a succession of attacks against the free world, TERRA is forced to use their secret weapon, the RahXephon, despite the reluctance of its pilot.

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.

Tokyo citizen Ayato Kamina's life is about to undergo a drastic change. MU agents in dark suits attempt to kidnap both him and his childhood friend Reika, and a sassy TERRA operative brings him face-to-face with the mythical giant robot RahXephon – a force he alone has the ability to control. With everything he has ever known to be true falling to pieces around him, Ayato resolves to fight the MU and protect Reika at any cost!

Two weeks have passed since Ayato and Reika arrived in the "real world" of Nirai-Kanai. As Ayato undergoes training to become a pilot for RahXephon, Reika continues to be tested by TERRA's scientists as they attempt to ascertain the strange bond she shares with the mythical robot.

TERRA's final battle with the MU has begun. Ayato's fact-finding mission into Tokyo Jupiter has left him confused and uncertain. His bond with his "mother" Maya, his allegiance to TERRA, the fate of the world; Ayato's mind is a torrent of conflicting memories and half-truths.
