Summary: How can you go wrong with Escaflowne?
Review: There isn't anything new to be said that hasn't already been said in reviews of previous discs. It's just more goodness of Hitomi, Van, Allen, and the other supporting cast. This disc contains the next 3 episodes of the continuation of Hitomi's adventure in the mystical land of Gaea ("Memory of the Wings," "The Prince With Blue Eyes," and "Prophecy of Death"). More of the the important points in the story are revealed with flashbacks and backstories in these episodes. As usual, the excellent soundtrack makes you feel like you are a part of the world or watching a good drama.

Summary: Escaflowne has it all
Review: this DVD is great! If your looking for anime that has action, suspence, romance, humor, and an engaging plot with lots of twists Escaflowne is the one to get. But makes sure you don't get the version fox kids puts out that version was hacked to death. Im my opinion the best version to come out is on DVD, it has great extras like music videos, and club escaflowne, and it has both English and Japanese soundtracks with subtitles.

Summary: Angels and Demons
Review: This has been one series that everyone should see. Escaflowne has everything in it, action, romance, suspense, which all blend nicely to create an exciting storyline. I found that one of the things I love most about it, is its astounding musical scores. Escaflowne should not be dismissed as another children's cartoon. This is far from it. It deals with complex relationships, mature emotions, and (cough,cough) illegitimate children.

Summary: The best
Review: When Hollywood discovers Anime a lot of writers, actors,directors and musicians are going to be looking for jobs. This story has it all, action, romance comedy and intrigue all wrapped together in eight exciting volumes.I'm in awe of the Japanese. Their sense of timing, the camera angles that they use, the sense of grandeur and majesty that they are able to pull off is nothing short of a miracle. Escaflowne represents the best this medium has. The powerful but mysterious Guymelefs, Van the dragonslayer, Hitomi the fortune-telling girl from the "Mystic Moon", Allen the dashing white knight, and Dornkirk the alchemist and his fate-machine. Escaflowne is an epic in the true sense of the word and a sweet little fable where all the characters have pointy noses. If you're tired of waiting for the good Hollywood directors to come out with a decent movie (James Cameron, etc.) check into Escaflowne and Japanimation. You may forget about live-action movies altogether.
