Loved Every Minute

"I am always on the look out for really good anime and I vaguely remember seeing part of this movie, but I was unsure at the time. I took a chance and decided to buy the complete set and loved it.

The really enjoyed every minute that I did't want to stop watching for even a minute. The funnt part that really had me really paying attention to the voices was when I heard Miroku's voice from the TV series Inuyasha. I couldn't beleive what I was hearing. Hitomi's voice also had me thinking that she sounded a lot like Songo from Inuyahsa also.

The story line was pretty amazing and it really sucks you into the characters. Sometimes I would get annoyed with Van and him not admitting that he cared a lot fro Hitomi, but in the end he was the only one that had a serious connection to her and always would. I'm a hopeless romantic so it really kinda got to me that 1) Van and Hitomi never kissed. She kinda kissed Allen and was in his arms on more than one occasion; 2)she leaves him and doesn't return to him, but she is able to see him briefly with wings and pendent showing; and 3)she has a thing for Armono and it seems as if he has a thing for her too, but apparently he doesn't and he looks like Allen.

Overall, I loved the series and it was beautifully drawn and portrayed in this series. Highly recommend this story."

Great anime series

"As many people here all ready did a great job of summarizing the plot of the series I won't go into that. So I will just give my personal opinion on how I feel about it. This anime is one of the best shows I have ever seen. It has great story and awesome music. Escaflowne was the first anime series I have ever seen back when it was still on Fox network and now years later after seeing close to a 100 different anime I still think its one of the best a classic that everyone should watch at least once. From the very beginning, Escaflowne achieves the feeling of escaping to a fantastic world with large heaping spoonfuls of pure atmosphere, action and drama that you would not want to miss. So buy it and give it a try you won't regret it."
