Summary: Besides the excellent episodes you also get...
Review: "Club Escaflowne"! One of the things I really love about the DVD format is the little extras that usually come along with it. The first Escaflowne DVD had a set of beautiful music videos set to music from the series. This disk as a really fun interview with the Japanese voice actors for Merle, Hitomi, Van and Folken called "Club Escaflowne". (Warning to people who haven't seen the whole series yet, they do reveal a major plot point that may "spoil" some things for you) The actors really have a lot of fun joking and teasing back and forth as they chat about the series, funny stories about themselves, and more. Even if you have the series on VHS already, I consider this feature, along with the durabilty (escaflowne is a series you'll watch over and over) and beauty of the DVD format to be a reason to get this disk.

Summary: How Can You Resist That Face?
Review: Escaflowne has all the snippits of my favorite animes arranged in such a way that I couldn't resist falling in love with the series. The story is complex, the scenery is rich, and the characters will sweep you off their feet with their swordplay and romance. Of course, those large fighting machine lovers are pleased as well. Escaflowne itself can satisfy your taste for a splash of violence here and there. Mix, serve, enjoy! Collect all the Escaflowne!

Summary: A anime to fall in love with time and time again.
Review: If you have never seen an anime before, then this is the one to fall in love with. The Vision of Escaflowne is a powerful animated series that filled with action, suspense, and plenty of philosophical dilemmas. The story revolves around an average girl named Hitomi who travels to Gaea, a mystical world where the Earth is the moon. The reason that this anime stands above all else is the musical scores composed by Yoko Kanno that falls perfectly with every scene and every battle. Each movement is composed with the perfect form to help motivate the characters, or set a perfect scene. (I bought the soundtrack and listen to it everyday) The story and animation behind Escaflowne is also one of the best in anime series. The Guymelfs look awesome in the combat scenes that seem to be lifelike. I already have the original series plus the Movie on VCD, but I am still going to purchase the DVD's. Its really that good, and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

Summary: The Greatest Anime EVER!
Review: If you haven't seen it, folks, you MUST! I first encountered Escaflowne while flipping through the channels on TV one afternoon. This was when I did NOT like anime. I saw that Escaflowne was on and I thought to myself, "Oh, great! Another anime show that they are making me avoid!". But one time, there was absolutely nothing else on and I was tired from a long days work, so I just sat down and watched it. It was the episode where Hitomi first meets Allen in the forest when he 'rescues' her from Mr. Mole. I was hooked. I mean, who wouldn't be? The plot moved fast and it was exciting and made you want to find out what happened and Allen was a babe, right? So then I watched it without fail every Saturday morning. Then stupid Fox takes it off the air right after it was getting to its peak! At least you can buy the dubbed version now. And they just realeased the last videos! Aren't you glad? I personally favour the dubbed version of Escaflowne because I watched it on TV that way and I didn't want to have to readjust to the subtitled version halfway through the series. Escaflowne is one of the most emotional, violently exciting and epic animes ever created. Even my parents agree that it has a plot to rival that of the best movies (and they hate anime!). So why not give it a try? I did! And now I am an otaku (anime fan) and have many other animes that I love! Go for it! What are you waiting for!?

Summary: Escaflowne is a show to watch
Review: It is about a girl (Hitomi) who has been transported to a strange world. In Ep. five Van is captured and you learn a little about his past in his kingdom. You also meet one of his family members. While Van is being held captured the others try to figure a way to save him or if they should leave him and procede with there mission. The four Ep. are packed with action, adventure, and mystery. This is a show that is hard to put down. The characters are well developed (even the "bad guys") You'll find yourself spell bound by this show. There are 26 Ep. in total which are still being dubbed. If you haven't seen the first four you have to watch it, the rest will not make much sence without it. I bought both DVDs and they were great. I suggest that you buy the DVDs (if you can)because they have a better sound quilty and clearer picture. You also don't have to rewind or fastfoward to get to your favorite Ep. My sister and I love the DVDs over VHS. We are still waiting for the next few Ep. to come out to buy. This is a great anime if you like animes. There are mechas, fighting (hand to hand combat), plot, and you can follow what is going to happen. IF you buy any anime buy this. There is no nudity and no rude comments.
