RahXephon
Created by Yutaka Izubuchi
A psychologically complex mecha anime that uses alien invasion and reality-bending mystery to interrogate identity, perception, and the nature of consciousness itself.
Ayato Kamina, a 17-year-old high school student, lives in Tokyo Jupiter oblivious to the world around him, having been raised to believe that the rest of civilization has been destroyed; but everything changes when a mysterious alien civilization invades his home.
