on the retard scale of denseness

My personal opinion of them is still:

This was not based on the factor of hype because I don't ever give a shit about other's opinions. Oh, and I get your point, I just can't answer it like that because I don't know how retarded people are rating their anime.

The story in RahXephon is more plain and understandable even though it leaves a lot to your own imagination. NGE is just trying to confuse the shit out of you in order to conceal it's extremely lame plot (or rather lack of one).
RahXephon characters are somewhat cliché, however they are not as pathetic as that epic fail of a creature called Shinji.
RahXephon's animation is much better as well. I must admit this Japanese "I love my cousin" bullshit annoys me as it always have.
In other words NGE failed while RahXephon was a mediocrity.

I agree on all points, except with how good RahXephon was... but to each their own.
As for the cousin thing... they're not blood-related at all.
(click to show/hide)The only reason Haruka and Ayato have any relation to each other is by Haruka's uncle adopting Maya. So technically, Maya and Haruka are cousins by marriage (or whatever). If Maya was Ayato's mother, that's make them first cousins once removed by marriage only. But since Quon is his mother... it completely messes it up... I couldn't find anything to call that particular relation. So if it wasn't for the adoption, they wouldn't be related at all. So I can't really consider them cousins.

It is practically impossible for it to live up to more than 10 years of phenomenal hype. That's why you get some people listing it as one of the worst anime ever ::).
But now you can see where the millions of Asuka and Rei carbon-copies came from.

I didn't find Shinji too whiny in the manga so as long as he is about the same in the anime then I should be good. The only bad thing about the manga is that the battles are super confusing and don't make a lot of sense, since you don't really see whats going on. anyways, this is next on my list as a duo with interspersed episodes of School Days, just as soon as I finish Fate/Stay Night and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (also interspersed). Hope it can live up to the hype.

Shinji is waaay tougher in the manga. And nothing can live up to that level of hype.

People liking their cousins shouldn't be an issue anyway. It's only recently in history that a person's cousin became socially off-limits. It's just convention. If you look at it practically it doesn't even matter.
Attraction to your immediate family has some very troublesome social and psychological and some say genetic problems mixed up in it, but back in the old days people married their cousins all the time.

If Shinji isn't such a lamer I just might bother to read the manga. I hate that about action mangas though when you can't tell what the hell is going on in the fight scenes:
ARM! → SWORD! → SWORD CUTTING SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE AN ARM! → LEG ON THE GROUND! → WHAT?!?
