I have to say well done to this 90s anime for keeping me entertained and it was fantastic in some scenes! Even though, the noses on the characters were hilarious. Honestly never seen such long noses when it comes to anime in my entire life haha!I was super glad that Kelly Sherdian (aka Barbie) was playing Hitomi in the English Dub. She was so good like i really didnt think she was in anime until last night. Kudos to her for doing this project!What else can I say? This anime was just absouletely great, definately recommend peeps who love 90s anime to give this a watch!

I first watched this on Fox Kids then I got to watch the other version but either way I found Escaflowne to be a true classic. It has a great storyline and with wonderful characters!Hitomi Kanzaki was I think a great lead character and I liked her relationships with Van Fanel and Allen Schezar. Every episode always keeps you interested not just terms of storyline and character development but also the good animation and great mecha designs or Guymelef's as they are known.All in all a true classic! It was one of my favorites from teen years and still remains a favorite now I'm in my thirties as of this review.

I haven't really watch a whole bunch of animes, just the ones they showed on Toonami and Cartoon Network, really. So when Escaflowne came onto Fox when I was 13 or so, I fell in love with it. I loved how their noses were so long, and how the plot line developed, and how we really got entangled in Hitomi's life. The ending was bittersweet, but I can't imagine it being any other way.Other anime fans that I've shown this to don't seem to share my deep appreciation of it, but then again, this anime delves deeper into emotions than other animes, and isn't just surface based--It dives deeper, and doesn't deal so much with action as other animes.*MY* favorite anime.

Escaflowne is not an original series by any stretch of the imagination. Just a straight-up, solid slab of old fashioned heroic, epic fantasy really. Yet for it to keep you gripped so intensely almost from the word go must suggest it must do something right. Now this would be the execution I would be talking about. To cut a long story short, Escaflowne is a thing of beauty. Beautiful in its design, beautiful in its style, its looks, its sounds and most importantly beautiful in its actions. What we have it a wonderful mesh of high-grade production, some fantastic set-pieces, a magnificent soundtrack, and all that tacked onto a story that actually means something. If you like your fantasy epic and old-school, then really there is not a piece of work on the small screen that I could recommend highly enough.
