Presenting Nirai-Kanai Online 3.0!

I've made a ton of updates since the last version. From the look of the site to putting up profiles for almost every character in the show. I also re-edited the FAQs for clarity and punctuation. It's been about a month or so of pretty hard work so I'm hoping it pays off.

Make sure to check it out and let me know what you think. Honest comments please!

:)


-Edit-
Alright, I'm seeing a few problems with the images already. It seems the gray area won't cover the whole page. Currently looking into that. -.-'

-Edit#2-
Fixed.

Very nice indeed :) I like Rah-fanboys ;)

One thing only, about the books - as far as I know they are quite good and give a nice look at characters' thoughts - something we miss in the series.

As for the music - there is also a drama CD, but I have no clue what it's about :)

[Krueger]

Thanks! Rah-fanboys are my favorite people. :smokin:

Which books are you referring to? The novels?

You got a link for the drama CD?

[Roland]

No, I meant the Bible, the Complete Guide, the Official Illustration Collection and the Akihira Yamada RahXephon Artbook.

As for the drama CD - http://www.tokyotosho.com/details.php?id=12660

Ah... nice! 3.0 is the best version yet. :)

Keep up the good work Krueger!

[Krueger]

Thanks Mordecai! :)

Thanks again, Roland. Though I was referring more to the cover of the CD so I can put it on the site. :P


How would you guys feel if I included a RahXephon vs Evangelion section in the FAQs? It would simply include a list of links concerning the issue. I wouldn't want to take a stab at it since I really loathe Evangelion... might be a bit biased.

Excellent, very excellent. As I stated in the guestbook, the character profiles are particularly impressive. Though two of my favorite characters, Gomi and Yomoda, aren't on there I suppose it's understandable since there's no real info. on them.

I don't know about a Rah vs. Eva section. It's been done to death. Personally, I like both series (though I do like RX more), but I feel they should just be kept as seperate shows.

A quick question: Is there a RahXephon manga? If there is, is it out in the U.S.?

[Roland]

There is, it has and it's three volumes :) And the art sucks :p

As for the Rah VS Eva - I'd say no. It's pointless.

And the drama CD cover is all over the net :p But since I'm such a nice guy and all:

I say stay away from the Rah vs. Eva crap.
Why should Eva get any attention on your Rah fansite. :P

[Cesternino53]

So there are also novels huh? I found five of them on amazon, are there only five, and are they available in English? I guess they probably are...

I can only find one out of three manga but the way you describe them Roland, I don't think I want them anyways.

[Krueger]

Thanks for the comments, Cester. Don't worry about Gomi and Yomoda, I'm sure I can cook something out. :)

Thanks for the pic, Roland. The page should be updated now.


And I'll drop the RahX vs Eva section. You're right, not only it's been done to death, I'd definitely prefer to keep my site Eva free. No attention to Eva as Mordecai suggests. :)


One more thing, I found (by accident) in my list of favorite links the AskJohn article of the RahXephon ending. I don't know if you people have read it, but I went ahead and put it on the site. He gives some good insight on the series. I'm not sure I understand his take on the Darwinism world of RahXephon (only the strong survive) since Hiroko/Mamoru are at the end. They're kind of victims too... especially Hiroko. I'll have to read it more carefully.

Yeah, I think the total count will be five. Only three are released though. I've heard bad things about them though, like grammar mistakes, Engrish, and the like. I haven't personally read them though.

As for the manga, the character designs are different. But I wouldn't dismiss it just yet. You can get a preview of the manga on the Viz site. I personally thought it was pretty good... it has a pretty good twist. :)

[Cesternino53]

Well I guess I'll check it out. I can only find the first volume, but I guess that's better, in case I don't like it.

[Roland]

I think only the fifth book is yet to be released. The other four are available. But in third-world countries like mine it's really painstaking to aquire such things :/

[Malchiel]

I like the earlier web designs :I The patterned bg is just a bit distracting
