List of RahXephon media

This is a list of media from the Japanese science fiction series "RahXephon".

"RahXephon" began production as an anime television series in 2001. A manga version, a novelization, soundtracks and an audio drama were published during and after the original broadcast, which lasted from January to September 2002. The series was released on DVD in Japan during its original broadcast, and was subsequently translated and both broadcast and released on DVD in other countries.

A television movie, a "RahXephon" video game, and an OVA episode were released a year later, in 2003. Characters, mecha and story from "RahXephon" were featured in a game in the "Super Robot Wars" series. Art books, guide books and additional novels were also released. This list includes video games and music, but not toys, hobby articles and other merchandise.

Printed media

Manga volumes

The manga release started before the anime broadcast, so that the ending in one medium would not trail too far behind the other.cite journal
