Summary: The Best Anime Of All Time?
Comment: Regarding Escaflowne being the best, I cannot say that it IS the best. But rather, floating near the top of my top 5-10 of the many, many animes that I have watched.
There have been some times where upon finishing a series or a movie, I would get a bit disappointed that there would be no more. After watching Escaflowne, I had felt it.
It is hands down far out. The storyline had me bedazzled throughout the series. The storyline is a very, very emotional experience (though I thought that it was a bit too frustrating at times)... I would say at the same level as that of Gundam. The animation was also captivating. The artists really thought things through when illustrating the massive Guymelefs (mecha); the physics of their movement was extremely life-like, contributing to the spectacular fight scenes.
Just to give you an idea of my taste in animes, I will leave you with a list of where it stands among my favorites (in no particular order) to lt you gauge it for yourself...
- Robotech (Macross Saga/Invid Invasion)
- Gundam (MSG, SEED to name a few)
- Cowboy Bebop
- Gungrave
- Bubblegum Crisis
- Rurouni Kenshin

Summary: An AMAZING anime show! Epic and violent, charming and funny!
Comment: This was one of the earliest anime shows I'd seen and it's by far my favorite. I love the characters and the story is massive and keeps you guessing/wanting to know what happens next. Highly recommended for those who like a good adventure with plenty of action and even heart.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very well done anime.
Comment: Escaflowne is very well done. This is what got me hooked on anime. The great thing about Escaflowne is that there realy isn't any one dimensional characters. There is no true bad or good. Everyone is fighting for the same goal, but they go about it in opposite ways.
If your looking for an anime worth the money and your time this is it. You will defintly watch this more than once, and find yourself telling others about it.
Just be glad it's on DVD. You can skip past the inticial begging and end song so you can get straight to the action. I watched this anime on VHS back in the day. So much fast forwarding.
