Description:
The saga of Hitomi, the psychic girl from Earth on the world of Gaea, reaches new heights of byzantine complexity as she, Allen, and Van are captured by Dornkirk, the Zaibach Emperor--who is actually Sir Isaac Newton. Dornkirk plans to create a machine that will enable him to create alternate destinies for Gaea. The trio escapes to the Kingdom of Asturia in the mobile suit Escaflowne, which is somehow linked to the destiny machine. Folken plots to break the tie between Hitomi and Escaflowne by creating a romance between her and Allen (whom Princess Millerna loves). Things grow even more bizarre when Folken replaces the blood of his feline servants, Naria and Eriya, with artificial "fortune blood" that increases luck. He attacks Asturia to seize Hitomi with a cadre of super-lucky soldiers during Millerna's wedding to Dryden. Hitomi believes she altered the destinies of her friends by giving Millerna a false Tarot reading that led her to go through with the wedding. The mixture of slushy romance, amplified luck, and artificial destiny takes some very odd turns, especially when Hitomi decides she misses Amano, her boyfriend on Earth, whom she hasn't mentioned since the first episodes. Episodes: 18. "The Gravity of Destiny," 19. "Operation Golden Rule of Love," 20. "False Vows." Rated 13 and up for violence and complex plot lines. --Charles Solomon
