Escaflowne

[.com person]

It was dubbed for the fozbox but it turned out a horrible dub though I've never seen it before?

So can anybody tell me anything about Escaflowne?

[nanakitoff]

Escaflowne is one of my personal favorite anime of all time. Even check out my sig. Thats from Escaflowne the movie. Its a great fantasy/romance and its definately worth the money.

[cowboydemon666]

I saw a trailer for Escaflowne and it looked really good but i never got a chance to see it. Is it really good?

[nanakitoff]

Oh yeah its really good. Really good. The unique art styles in the series AND movie will have you drooling.

[Teny]

Hey i haveb't seen the movie
but i have seen up to where Hitomi gets home
and she sees vna voer at the beach
are there epiosdes after that?

[nanakitoff]

Nope, thats the end of the tv series. Watch the movie, trust me.

[.com person]

* adds escaflowne to wish list*

[Teny]

so the movie happens after the serie's?
amazing

[.com person]

I've heard it is a remake of the Television series.
Sounds kinda of bad idea but maybe I'm wrong.

[nanakitoff]

The movie isn't bad at all, and it dosent take place after the series. Its sort of like an alternate look on the series. The movie and series have the same story but told and drawn way differently. Theyre both really good, I cant decide which one I like better.
I wouldnt call the movie a remake, just a different persons view on the same story. Maybe like another director. (Kind of like how the evangelion tv series was told from Hideaki Anno(director), and the manga was told by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto(artist), they were the same story but told by different people). You'll like them both, trust me.

[.com person]

Ok then ^^

[homeless_with_no_PC]

You really wanna know what's the big deal with Escaflowne? Well, let me tell you: those DISTURBINGLY ugly noses! they are just so BIG and UGLY that I could never watch the show because my eyes HURT so much that I just wanted to pick my eyeballs with a knife. I have NEVER in my whole life seen such a thing.
yeah.

[wing 7]

awesome show great movie

[retro]

Try not too compare the movie with the TV series, since they take a different angle on the outcome for each. True they use the same characters but they have different interactions between the characters. The movie was all too quick, the TV series was superb.

DISTURBINGLY ugly noses! they are just so BIG and UGLY
It was all that bad.

[Havana]

I remember seeing it on YtV or Foxbox, and when i saw the first episodes the music was excellent, and the way they blended cgi and animation, was nice. i autually can't decide who my favorite characters are. i never watched the movie.

[KagomeAsakura]

I already see the movie and series of vision of esclaflowne I like it

[Dark_Misery]

The movie was weird though...they changed the names...It was so confusing at first...

[[BlackDeath]]

what the hell is this thread doing in the romance section!?

anyway escaflowne is amazing, it is also one of my favs, the guymelath transformation sequences are superb, you can tell that the mech designers put a lot of time and effort into making them, story - it too is amazing, i cant fault anything of significance except the noses, yes the noses, there long, too long! animation is great too xD.

and the movie, another amazing master piece and with the voice talent of maaya sakamoto, yes the fomous j-pop singer (maaya' songs are great xD), not only backed by a j-idol but the battle sequence between escaflowne and the other guymelath piloted by dilandou is also a specticle to look at, the sparks form the to swords clashing. And last thing the opening of the movie, as Vaan slaughters all those people, very cool!!!

watch it, i command you too, if you havnt already that is!

[diule]

I myself did not mind the noses,the only thing i did not like about the series is that through the hole story vaungh doesnt even get a kiss not even in the ending,grrrrrrrrrr
...that pissed me off so much.

[[BlackDeath]]

Well it was different, but then again different is good, not following the others an becoming part of the flock of sheep, it was pretty origianal and also gave i a more emotional ending as Vaan parted with the one who he loved and he only realized his feeling near the end, which made you feel for him in some way.

But the noses, sometimes i would stare at them, they were distracting a bit, but i notice these things more since i am an artist ^^

[niobie]

I've watched both the series and the movie n i've loved them. I've heard so many people saying that didn't like escaflowne movie but i don't understand why, well maybe because it's an alternate story and not a sequence of the TV series or maybe because the design is completly different or because of the different personaly of the characters well i don't know. As for me I loved the movie the story, the music everything even more than the TV series.

[rena585]

ello
i like escaflone but .hack is cooler
its about a girl that gets taken to a new world and meets a swordsmen van

[Die Tod von Euch]

what the hell is this thread doing in the romance section!?

It's one of those animes that are kind of hazy as to which catagory to put them in. There are enough romance elements in it to classify it as a romance anime/manga. It is, after all, rather shoujo-y in the series, for the most part. The movie is more shounen in style and far less romance-related.

[Shinigami Ichigo]

Shouldn't this topic actually be in the Mecha/Apocalyptic section? I love this series, and want to see all of it soon.

[Die Tod von Euch]

*points to the post she made right above GundamRulz's post* ...I think I just explained that. Also, they aren't really even mecha, are they? They're bio-mechanical, if I recall... Then again, people call Evas mecha, and they aren't...so..meh.

Anyway, your question was already answered. This is an iffy anime as far as catagorizing it. It's got a LOT of romance elements in the series, so fits here. The movie, however, would not fit here nearly as well.

[Shinigami Ichigo]

Sorry. I only saw about half the series and that was a looooong time ago, so I don't recall much about it. Sorry for asking a stupid question *bows head*

[Die Tod von Euch]

It's ok. It's just that the question had already been answered one post ahead of you.

Now, back to the topic of the series... Dryden was my favorite, followed closely by Allan. I never really cared much for Hitomi, though...despite her being the main character. Heh.

[Shinigami Ichigo]

Allen is the heroic blond knight dude right?

[Die Tod von Euch]

Yep, he sure is. The hot, heroic, blond knight.. Mmmm...Allan...

But Dryden is the coolest, hands down.

[Shinigami Ichigo]

Another stupid question... who is Dryden? Sorry for asking so many stupid questions, but that is how I gain understanding.

[Die Tod von Euch]

^Him.

Coolest guy in the show. Than again, I like the cocky playboy types. ^_^

[Shinigami Ichigo]

He looks like he belongs in Get Backers or something like that. Interesting lookig guy.

[Die Tod von Euch]

It's been years since I've seen the series, but if I recall correctly...he's like super rich and owns some type of business. He helps Hitomi and them out for a while, and I think he may be like betrothed to one of the blonde chicks that likes Allan..or..something. Gah, I need to re-watch this show! >_<

[Shinigami Ichigo]

Your facts are better than mine, since i never even saw the whole series :D

[[BlackDeath]]

Hey i got a question, it's been plaguing me for some time, what's Dalandou's real name before she was brain washed by the Black Dragon Clan?

[Die Tod von Euch]

I believe it was Celena... Or something to that effect. That was just messed up what happened to her/him... >_o

[[BlackDeath]]

Yea i get that sometimes, i don't know if i should treat.....her/him as a male or female! Well thank you much for you answering my question xD

[animeseishi]

well..i think that escaflowne is a great anime..

[Kal3ido]

Love the movie, I haven't gotten around to getting the series, but I plan to real soon. Is there an un-cut version?

[Naomi Kitsume]

I have the movie too. I watch the series all the time. Great anime,great anime enough said.

[[BlackDeath]]

.....yeah so did i, so....uh.....any coments on the movie?

[bloodsoakeddreamer]

escaflowne is really good...though i do agree with the others taht their noses are just too long but thats the unique style of the artist...i have the movie and i like it but i definetly believe that the series is better...the movie seemed to squish everything together so that when you watch it and van and hitomi meet suddenly theres the end! lol...but its still great...

[enjio]

the movie was really good and the series are great

[animeseishi]

yeah...escaflowne by the way...is aired in animax every wednesday at 10 pm and on saturday 8 pm...just saying so you guys could watch it if you havent seen it or if you want to see it again..

[bloodsoakeddreamer]

what channel is animax? i havent watched escaflowne in a LONG time... is it on cable or some other especific thingy?

[♥Ritsuka♥]

I love this anime series (Escalflowne) but I wish it would have ended better.

"note please stay on topic"

[blackanimeprincess]

Hey could someone tell me the name of Van's brother i kinda remember him but not really i just know that Van had a brother amd didnt he only have like one wing or sumthin?

[Die Tod von Euch]

His name was Folken. And I think he had both wings, they were just black. His arm was torn off, though...

[Elric]

yeah...escaflowne by the way...is aired in animax every wednesday at 10 pm and on saturday 8 pm...just saying so you guys could watch it if you havent seen it or if you want to see it again..
I would watch it anytime and with more reason if you recomend it animeseishihttp://animegalleries.net/bbs/images/icons/icon12.gif. I didin't think you'd like Escaflowne. And that's true, were is animax transmited????

[Chibi Misao]

I have animax here in Malaysia....i've only seen a few episodes though.I don't watch animax so often anymore because i've been really busy with my skool .....skool comes first u know[pretends to be a good hardworking student]

[Skyrise]

I loved the movie and from what I saw of the series. But the series isn't available here, so I had to pirate it. =\ Thus being why I didn't see all of it. I stopped on like.. episode twenty-six. It sucks.


But, I'd have to say that Van and Folken made me giggle with glee. =) I like the whole concept of I guess what is their race. It's very capturing. Van in the movie.. freaked me out a little. With his introduction as a phsycotic killer. x_x And the blue paint was kind of weird with that butt-flap. =P


Dilando always scared me, but I like the hole idea of him and how it all worked out. =\ Makes me really wish I could have seen the entire series.

[Shinigami Ichigo]

Isn't the show 26 episodes? I know that CN is going to show the movie this year, so I am wondering if they might re-air the series?

[Die Tod von Euch]

Ithuriel, your locations says you're in Michigan... Which would imply that you live in America... Which would mean you live in a country where the entire series was in fact released and is in fact available. If you can't find it in a physical store, there's always ordering online... And Shinigami Ichigo is correct, there are only 26 episodes to the series. So, I suppose that it makes sense you had to stop there..since it's the final episode.

[Shinigami Ichigo]

I thought it was only 26 episodes, though I only saw like 15 or so on Fox before it was cancelled a few years ago. I hope that CN will air the rest of it, as I enjoy that series (though I need to get past the noses)

[Skyrise]

First, I guess I am mistaken about the episode number. I can't be exactly correct because it's been about a year or so since I've even seen Escaflowne.

As for finding it in stores, there is a rental store over here. But they do not have it. I also cannot buy it because I do not have that kind of money to waste. I don't see why any of that is even valid. -_-;

[mike2yang]

I liked the series except i didnt finish watching it because they stopped putting it.

[Shinigami Ichigo]

Well, if you have time, a decent computer, and a good net connection, I recommend fansubbed anime. It is free, and can be gotten off the internet if you know where to look.

[Die Tod von Euch]

Haaa.. I agree with you about the noses, Ichigo. It took a bit for me to get over those, too.

Don't know if CN or another network would ever bring it back and show it in full. It's one of those shows that were edited like crazy for TV, but you could get the full thing uncut on VHS or DVD....

And yeah, downloading fansubs is certainly the way to go for the ones of us who are broke. Only problem is that things like Escaflowne are often hard to find to download, because most places take down anime that's been domestically released (at least, they legally should).

[Skyrise]

Their noses are like.. Eek. o_o I'm surprised they aren't like.. hitting things with them. Oh my.

Downloading is how I got the episodes to begin with. But, I apparently don't remember which episode I was even on. I also don't remember where I originally started downloading them. Off of BT, no doubt. But that could be anywhere. x.o

[Shinigami Ichigo]

PM me and I can tell you where I found it. Don't wanna get 'em in trouble :p
