It's both, but it's also over 400 chapters, and as you would expect, the anime covers VERY little of that.
I don't remember a ton of the early chapters, but I think the focus was mostly on setting up the overarching plot, with heavy character interactions happening during downtime in between arcs and stuff. After the main objective is set in place, it kind of gets integrated into the main plot.

It took me ages to work out where I had heard the performer and style of the Jinnuri ED: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHuRBuiL4Bc before. I didn't check ANN because, you know, that's cheating, although I eventually worked out that it's the same person as the Azumanga Daioh OP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z49kzOQkjw
Not even worth it in this case!
Moyashimon is good stuff regardless and you'll have the advantage of being able to watch Moyashimon Returns with everyone this season if you catch up. Get on it!
You are already ruined for marriage.

Alright then. I'll try to marathon it today.

It's rarely worth it.
Funny, I just finished watching it and was tempted to ask if it was the same person.
I don't know whether I should be hoping that I'm one of his favorite characters or not.

Do you not want to be "epic" and "compelling"?
Heck, even "funny" when a bamboo stick censors you at the hot springs!

Beach episode wasn't bad. The jokes weren't really all that bad, at the very least somewhat tame. I did enjoy the dating sim and BL bit they did.

Holy crap. Well, I think I'll gladly stick with the 7 episode series instead, hahaha.
I just don't want to be in one of his avatars.

Unless you start appearing in Naruto, you should be safe.

In reality, Rahxephon is okay but it's no Evangelion.

Careful, DTL might swoop you up.
Good thing he doesn't draw them.
True.
I'm so ignorant, I didn't even know that Disney's productions starting in the 90's were all digital. Ghost in the Shell definitely looks better than Disney's output at the time.
Indeed.
A DTL + Chet Rippo fusion would bring about the end of AnimeGAF as we know it.

That scene made me tear up, Haru's va sounded so sincere about it and he looked so gracious, like no one apart from taku, has ever given him something before.

Reminds me too much of Medaka...such a terrible character, ugh.

From what little I watched, I can agree with this.
Well, they're actually trying to tell two very different types of stories, despite all the ridiculously obvious parallels and similarities. Rahxephon doesn't focus as much on untreated psychological trauma, which makes Evangelion more draining to watch regardless of its superior direction and execution.
Lupin the Third - Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna 10
Yeah, like they need hallucinogen-infused plotlines to not make any sense.
Lupin the Third - Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna 11
Well, the initial scene with Oscar's backstory was good, so that's something.

Lupin the Third - Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna 11

So Oscar pretended to be Fujiko... So he could be arrested and subsequently nailed by Zenigata like she did. I would be perplexed by the question "Who comes up with this stuff?" if I didn't already know the answer. The owls then got involved in his efforts for reasons that I doubt will be explained. Meanwhile, Fujiko's a complete mess. What hurts the most is that there was no mindfuck - she just fell from grace on her own. Truly depressing.

The only reason I watched this show was because someone linked the ED
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgMAKuJIkmc
Then I decided to watch the show
The animation is high quality, with medium fluidity, an understandable compromise to avoid nice looking characters in a powerpoint slideshow. Don't remember any major QUALITY scenes. The ep intro's are kinda bizarre, sometimes there's too many screen jumps in a short period of time.
The story is about a girl studying for college exams, going to cram school, not having any goals in life, only going with her pushy mothers wishes since she has none of her own. She's scouted by students at a fashion high school who need a model for their dress making competition, and eventually she decides to do it while falling for the project lead on the design team, George.
On the team roster we have:
Arashi, a punk rocker/designer in a relationship with-
Miwako, a short cutie who's older sister has her own design company,
Isabella, the elegant motherly figure of the team,
Jouji (George), the classy Fucker who always has a change of clothes in the car from bitches gushing all over him every day (that stuff doesn't come out easy),
Yukari (Caroline(Carrie)) Aimlessy wandering through life until she meets George and decides to model for-
Paradise Kiss (ParaKiss), the name of the brand they start for the project.
*****I'll be going a bit into the plot here, no SPOILERS like x dies, y is actually z, etc... , but I will speak on some things that occur past the first couple of episodes, such as characters thoughts on others, some minor events that happen in the middle of the series, etc.... I'll spoiler tag it anyway just in case.*****
Overall I'd rate it

Now George is a good character. He cares for Yukari, but doesn't want her to continue to be someone who always blames external circumstances and others for her problems, like his mother. At one point the two are apart from each other for a week and Yukari says "Why didn't you call? I waited all week for you to call me..."
And George replies "The same can be said for you. If you wanted to talk you can always call me, this was the first time I've ever left my phone on for an entire week straight."
When she runs away from home due to an argument with her mom and everyone is brainstorming what to do he doesn't tell her to move out or to go back and patch things up, he says she needs to make a decision.
Yukari starts out over her head. She's finally found something in life she enjoys, but since she's never learned the skills of balancing different aspects of life before, as she's always just done school and studying, she doesn't know what to do with herself now that there are two different things pulling her different ways. She doesn't handle it well in the beginning, just up and abandoning school right when she's going to graduate soon since she's used to only doing one thing.
She also learns to become more initiative and stop waiting for things to happen, and actually starts making big decisions on her own, and a huge one at the end.
The show also goes into ArashixMiwako relationship and their various problems.
I like how they handled the ending, it's not predictable at all, and it's handled realistically.

I believe that this is the very definition of "irreconcilable differences". Could never happen.

you're missing out, brah
Sadly, it's not so much a choice-thing as a "I literally don't have the time" thing. Such is life.

True, at it's core RahXephon is a love story.
You certainly have plenty of time to post here, though.
I think I would be better of just waiting for the ost release than watching the show for MintJam and Onoken tunes.

Ah, but you see while I am "posting here" I can also do about five other things at the same time. When I sit down to watch something (or play something) I like to focus solely on that activity.
