Summary: The Precious Strength
Review: Eriya and Naria, Folken's loyal feline warriors, try to kidnap Hitomi but their luck intensification fails. This triggers a grand rescue chase to foil the Zaibach Empire. But the tragic results leave Folken convinced that Emperor Dornkirk may have the right idea, but is going about it in entirely the wrong way. Van finds himself torn between his childhood loyalty to Folken, and his anger over his brother's loyalty to Dornkirk. When Folken arranges a meeting, Van finally sets out to gain revenge for Folken's desertion of Fanelia. But the struggle between Van and Folken ends inconclusively, and Folken determines to turn himself over to Asturia to bring an end to this horrible war. Now the struggle truly begins in earnest. Another relationship, that between Hitomi and Allen Schezar also seems to be developing cracks, as the young knight reveals his controlling side. Hitomi's is uncomfortable with this but is even more uncomfortable with Van's angry willingness to fight and kill. This triggers a spectacular cliffhanger of an ending sure to please the most jaded of watchers and leave them grabbing for the last DVD in this series. As you can see, the fact that this series is drawing to an end means that there will be no lack of plot twists. And no lack of shifts in character development either. This is never a simpleminded series, but a complex weaving of the themes of destiny, human nature, war, and the value of relationships and love. It is always reaching beyond the story line for higher values, even as Evangelion did. Whether the story moves quickly or slows down for an introspective moment, it remains compelling.

Summary: Escaflowne is amazing!
Review: Escaflowne is a great series that continues to amaze in this 7th volume. In the last episode of the last DVD, Hitomi surrenders to Naria and Eriya, leaving a huge cliffhanger. Here the girl from the mystic moon will face the toughest challenge of her life, and maybe even decide who she loves. i recommend this great series to anyone who likes anime and even to people who really don't. I know i enjoyed it, I think you will too.

Summary: Great Anime series
Review: I have seen everything from Bubblegum Crisis to Wicked City. This is a great Jap-Anime for teens and adults. Not as much violence and gore as Bubblegum and no nudity. Has great humor as a girl from earth getts in trouble with everyone on a mistical planet that has 2 moons in the night ski (our moon and the earth). Well stuctured plot will keep adults and 2 girls takeing pot shots and pokeing fun at each other will get the kids. If you see any part of this video you will agree buy one, must have all.

Summary: Whoa.
Review: I have to say, Vision of Escaflowne is one of my favorite series ever. If you haven't seen it yet, you should. It draws you in from the very first episode. The art and animation is pretty. Great music scores. ^_~

Summary: A wonderful series.
Review: While I haven't seen the DVD, I *have* seen the entire series (subtitled), and these episodes are excellent, heck, the entire series is excellent, the music, the storyline, the brilliant animation, the characters, both minor and major contribute to this great series. The dubbing however (i've seen most of the dubbed series) was okay, not excellent like the dubbing in "Please Save My Earth", but it was alright, tolerable. As for what the editorial review says, I don't think Hitomi was being a ditz at all. She saw the good in her kidnapper and offered first aid to her because she's a kind and compassionate human being. Okay, so maybe you wouldn't and shouldn't do that if you were in her situation, then again, who knows. There's always two sides to the coin. But anywho. I highly recommend this series to anyone who's a fan of anime or action/drama/romance type movies.

Summary: Dilandau's back!
Review: Yey! I was really excited to see the return of the evil Dilandau, he rocks. Anyways, I read a spoiler so I know who he really is.. Then we are at this mysterious scene where one of the 4 generals is looking out at a courtyard. He sees a girl who is innocent and really naive looking. She grabs a flower off the ground that has a snail on it. Then we see her about to eat the snail, like nothing's wrong with that. Well the general sees this and about ..., until this humanoid dog creature stops her from putting it in her mouth and shakes his head at her like "No you're not supposed to eat that.." Well, guess who the girl is..... I can't tell you! You have to wait! Hitomi and Allen get in their first fight over Allen being jealous about Hitomi and Van going to Fanelia the last night. There's a lot of Folken in this one, you discover that he is not all bad, because you find out his cause for all the mayhem. The reason he ran from the dragon wasn't because he was a chicken! hehehehhe.. Well, I am watching this one currently, and I can't seem to get it out of the player. -Seph.
