a soundtrack and two drama cds have also been released in japan by victor entertainment in relation to the series .

escaflowne : the movie asks the question , what if escaflowne were the same… but completely different ? what if it were darker and more violent ? a horse straight up explodes halfway through the film , but the very first frame is enough to let you know you’re in for an all - new trip to gaea .

several things bothered me while watching this film . one of the first thing i noticed was the animation - the faces on the characters were horridly drawn , making it hard for facial expressions to appear believable . the animation in itself was fine , however the way the people were drawn was distracting . secondly , the plot was disorganized and scattered ; making the film hard to follow for even fans of the escaflowne tv series . the closing doesn ' t redeem much of the films ' weak points - i wouldn ' t recommend this for those new to escaflowne or those who are fans . it would be disappointing either way .
i ' ll say this . . . . . yoko kanno ' s score for the film is beautiful . if you can find it at a good price , i highly recommend that people should buy the soundtrack .

in one of the tv series’ extras , mastermind shoji kawamori mentions that there are typically two options available when developing an anime film based on an existing series . you can either create a digest , or compilation film , or you can tell an entirely new story . escaflowne : the movie opts for a third option , retelling the original story in the context of an alternate universe . most all of the characters we know and love are present and accounted for , but they’re not exactly the same as we left them . it’s kind of like having a dream about all your friends but there’s something off about each and every one of them .

the big battle between dilandau’s guymelef and the van - piloted escaflowne is worth the wait . escaflowne is much more intimidating and mysterious in the movie , and its connection to van is violent and painful . where the tv series inflicted pain on van for every wound escaflowne received , the movie makes the entire piloting experience one blood - spurting exercise in agony . escaflowne : the movie is a counterpoint for anyone who thought piloting a giant , knight - like mech might even be a little bit fun . it’s beautiful and savage , which is a decent way to sum up the movie as a whole .

what if
that simply doesn ' t translate into theatrical success . in fact , despite the oodles of visual effects , i don ' t consider it to be escaflowne at all . fans of mecha shows will be let down by the fact that there ' s only one ( count ' em , one ) mecha action scene where there ' s actual combat . loyal fans of escaflowne might not forgive the utter waste of the characters . ( i sure didn ' t . ) and though casual fans of anime might find this enjoyable without the pretext of the escaflowne background , the plot and characterization still leave a lot to be desired as a standalone movie . which is precisely the problem - escaflowne : the movie tries too hard to be unlike the original but with the same background , that it can ' t stand alone properly as a serious movie . unless you ' re willing to forgive a lot of liberties taken with the franchise , or simply have a morbid sense of curiosity , stay well away from escaflowne : the movie .
long story short . . . if you ' ve waited to get into escaflowne because you ' ve heard misgivings about the movie , wait no longer and pick this up . i found it a solid 90 + minutes of entertainment that is in many ways better than some of the disappointing anime feature films that western audiences have seen recently . although 2005 seems a little tardy to be talking about a film from 2000 , when you ' ve got a strong title to talk about , better late than never !
― i didn ' t go to see fireworks on the 4th last week , but i did go to see fireworks the anime movie on the 3rd . that ' s some clever timing on the part of whoever ' s in charge of promoting the film . the movie itself is alright , and it ' s cert . . .
how do you score a film that makes little sense without the context of the original show ? for fans of the show this is a fabulous movie - 4 . 5 stars for a right recasting of the original ' s lore . coming in with no history it does little to distinguish itself from other generic anime / fantasy / mech ova .
escaflowne has a brash , manly hero ( van ) and action - packed mecha battles , but it also includes many shoujo romance elements . was the series created with female audiences in mind as well ?
there is an endless amount of anime series that have accompanying film - length features . in some cases , they offer alternative subplots . traditionally , many are in fact condensed versions of the series as a whole , with very little to no nuance . don ' t want to sit through all four segments of macross plus ? watch
the movie
. don ' t want to watch all twenty - six episodes of the vision of escaflowne ? um , excuse you , no . you need to watch all twenty - six episodes . then sure , if you want to watch escaflowne : the movie , knock yourself out . it ' s rushed , but not necessarily a mess . the animation is stunning and the soundtrack i cannot possibly gush over enough ; it truly rivals the beauty and brilliance of the original , but…
you know what ' s sad ? the ocean voice cast feels more refined in their roles than in the dub for the television series . . . . . . . . buuuuuuuut the majority of the show ' s cast are either pointless to the film ' s plot ( e . g . allen , dryden and millerna ) or outright ruined by shallow reinterpretation ( especially bad in the case of hitomi and folken )
hear from the director of a classic anime ! for escaflowne’s 20th anniversary , director kazuki akane answered some questions at a special panel at otakon . learn about the director’s opinion on the english dub—and yes , the story behind those noses !
so is there anything i liked about this movie ? well , it ' s pretty , with slightly improved character designs and a good sounstrack by the great yoko kanno . annnnnd that ' s about it . escaflowne : a girl in gaea is a pointless retread of something that was good enough the first time around , and it won ' t win over any new fans in its wake . and escaflowne fans themselves should stay as far away from this turkey as possible .
mamoru hosoda doesn’t have a new film coming out this summer , but the famed anime director is still very much in the spotlight . hosoda’s 2015 feature , the boy and the beast , is getting international attention for its recent north american theatrical run and english - language home video release , his adaptation of the girl who leapt through time is celebrating its 10th anniversary , and there’s even a themed cafe in tokyo celebrating his works .
the lovers this tier is for fans of the gorgeous escaflowne music , from legendary composers yoko kanno and hajime mizoguchi . contribute $ 200 and you’ll get everything in the $ 175 tier plus the imported soundtrack from japan ( lovers only ) .
the first european presentation was on january 19 , 2001 , during the future film festival in bologna ( italy ) . the north american theatrical premiere was on january 25 , 2002 , in select cities , including los angeles , new york , san francisco , chicago , and vancouver . the north american television premiere was september 10 , 2005 , on the cartoon network programming block adult swim , after airing on [ adult swim ] on demand .
for starters , hitomi is terribly depressed at the beginning of the film , even going so far as to draft a suicide note of sorts for her friend yukari . missing , or at least kept off - screen , is her pining for fellow track team member amano susumu . despite yukari’s ribbing—which either makes hitomi’s depression seem less serious or the butt of a drawn - out joke—hitomi’s mental state is presented as rather bleak , to say the least .
the other new announcements are a bunch of production i . g . shorts . the main one in particular that was focused the most was the 2015 film pigtails ( mitsuami no kamisama ) , based on the 2011 tohoku earthquake . the film is directed by itazu yoshimi who was also chief animation director for miss hokusai ( another production i . g . title and anime limited license ) . in addition to pigtails , andrew partridge announced they are planning to release a collection of production i . g . shorts in one set . these include the mind game and ping pong director masaaki yuasa’s successful kickstarter title kick heart , the anime mirai shorts ( so far it seems to be tansuwarashi and wasurenagumo ) , as well as oval x over which has yet to be shown outside japan . no release date details as of late but andrew is working on including some of these for scotland loves anime 2016 .
transitioning a much - loved television show to the big screen is a huge task . sometimes the hop works really well and revives a franchise ( i . e . star trek ) . sometimes the effort just stalls out from lack of interest ( i . e . serenity / firefly ) . and sometimes you wonder what crack the producers were smoking to create a film so unlike the original ( i . e . bewitched ) . in the anime world , this isn ' t all that different . . . except that most anime tells a complete story with about 10 hours of screen time ( assuming a 26 - episode series ) rather than being individually episodic . this leaves film producers in a lurch . they can either tell a story that ' s related to and expands upon the original , possibly losing new viewers , or they can retell the tv story and potentially alienate the fan base . which do you choose ?
if the project meets the goal of $ 150 , 000 , we’ll be releasing the vision of escaflowne television series on blu - ray and dvd with both the original uncut japanese hd with english subtitles , and a brand - new english dub matching those materials . this release will also include an exclusive interview with kazuki akane and shoji kawamori specifically recorded for english - speaking fans , and the escaflowne movie will receive a new matching dub . certain tiers of this kickstarter include escaflowne blu - ray / dvd releases as rewards , including a special pre - order of a one - of - a - kind version of part 1 that includes a beautiful chipboard housing box and art cards featuring illustrations from the series . this kickstarter edition of part 1 is only available to kickstarter backers .

though the animation is technically stunning , especially in the opening fight sequence where van beheads or bisects a good two dozen enemy soldiers with his sword , it ' s far too dark and murky ( a problem last seen in the red - paint spectacular , spriggan ) , and the action in quite a few scenes actually suffers for it . the music , though appropriate and beautiful , is more of a recap of the tv series than anything truly original , though to kanno yoko ' s credit , she doesn ' t repeat the escaflowne chanting track more than necessary . literally the only thing i can rave about here is the ending song , maaya sakamoto ' s
yubiwa
, which frankly belongs in a far better film .
the movie ' s not perfect and these flaws do irk , but they do not make the movie unwatchable , they simply prevent it from getting a high score . escaflowne remains a memorable experience and worth a watch because it’s not long enough to overstay its welcome .
more announcements from anime expo ! at their panel , sunrise , the creators of cowboy bebop and code geass , helped us to reveal the cover art and official home video release date for the vision of escaflowne , the classic mecha fantasy anime , for its 20th anniversary .
and she winds up in the middle of a vast war for the planet of gaia . she meets van , a warrior who by all rights should be king . however , his brother falcon is a usurper who has a gigantic fleet of warships at his command . the hope both have is in dragon armor known as escaflowne . however , one would use escaflowne to save the world , the other to destroy it utterly . hitomi , the legendary wind princess , may have finally found her home , but it may disappear from under her wings .

[ … ] funimation’s kickstarter for the vision of escaflowne bluray with new english dub comes out next month . here’s the trailer featuring the new dub cast . also , the super swag collector’s edition , which zen has pre - ordered , is still available at rightstuf . [ … ]
all of the character designs are much more realistic in escaflowne : the movie . i mean , at least as realistic as lion - headed dudes and cat girls can possibly be . gone are the zaibach empire’s invisible - cloak - wearing guymelef mechs . as imposing as they were in the series , the condensed running time of the movie makes a more intimate showdown necessary . while we wait most of the running time for escaflowne to take center stage , director kazuki akane and co - writer ryota yamaguchi opt to leave zaibach’s sole giant robot in the hands of resident wild card dilandau .
escaflowne the movie uses the same characters , mecha and world as the well - loved tv series – but to tell a more direct , fantasy - by - the - numbers story . redeemed by a wonderful soundtrack and impressive visuals , it still manages to cast a distinctive spell of its own .
the escaflowne tv series collector’s edition , standard editions , and movie will all hit shelves on october 18 , 2016 ! all releases with have both the new 2016 english dub and the original broadcast english dub , as well as japanese audio . you’ll be able to pre - order on july 15 .
fox kids is getting on my nerves . they never seem to finish any of the shows that they are starting . let ' s see here . . . . there was escaflowne , then that other show cyber six , and there were others that i really liked but they all got cut off .
bandai visual producer takanashi minoru passed away . i think that the title escaflowne could not be realized without his planning power . it is like yesterday that 2199 was also highly appreciated , and various eyes of the goods such as deployment “let’s do it ! ” made eyes shimmer . i pray for your souls .
on the other hand , if you ' ve seen little to none of the television series , then you ' re in good shape . for all i ' ve said so far , i ' ve barely scratched the surface of how exciting this film is . it ' s carefully plotted so that the action sequences come often , but not at an overwhelming pace . it ' s also nice that there ' s little repetition ; each set piece has its own feel and timing . it moves quickly enough that i was truly surprised when it was over .
plot hitomi , a depressed high school student , finds herself being called to the mysterious world of gaia - - a fantastic place embroiled in a bloody war and hanging on the brink of destruction . waking up inside the dragon armor escaflowne she meets van , the young prince of adom who is embroiled in the conflicting war . van seeks the escaflowne to destroy all his enemies , hitomi confused of her role and misunderstanding the entire situation causes the armor to disappear , turning it into a small pink stone which is later turned into a necklace by the mole man . with their friends the abaharaki both hitomi and van are pulled into the center of the war with hitomi ' s wish of destruction or salvation setting the fate of gaia . setting unlike in the series , gymelefs are virtually non - existent , only existing in myth . the only two shown are the escaflowne and alseides ( name is not mentioned in the film ) , both of which run on blood / impure blood from those decedents of the dragon clan . it has also a number of differences with its many asian elements in contrast to the european elements in the series . the only countries named through the movie are torishina , freid and adom ( fanelia ) . all other countries have been assumedly taken over by the black dragon clan . it is safe to say that the setting of the movie is much more darker and has a brooding feel to the entire ordeal with its frequency in switching between hitomi and van ' s personal problems .
does that matter in the longrun ? not really . escaflowne : the movie is a 95 - minute visual spectacle that carries just the right amount of the original series’ essence along with it . if you plan on watching both , do yourself a favor and watch the tv series first . it’s the best way to appreciate all the changes made for the theatrical version , and it gives you a chance to just sit back and stare at the fantastic animation . speaking of which , escaflowne : the movie looks great on blu - ray . funimation’s release lacks notable extras , but it’s good to have it back on home video .
i had never seen or even heard of the show when i picked this movie up as a child , so as a stand - alone , i really , really enjoyed this film . the music , the art , the voice acting , it ' s all done very well . the fantasy is top notch and i really loved it . i ' m watching the show now and i can see why , as a comparison , it doesn ' t stand up . but for a stand - alone , and nostalgia , yep . i almost gave it a 5 .
hitomi kanzaki is depressed and considering killing herself . one day , a man appears before her and calls her the wing goddess , summoning her to gaea , a world at war , where she is the ultimate arbiter of the god of the heavens and war , escaflowne , and , accordingly , gaea ' s destiny .

remember those great mecha battle scenes with van on the escaflowne ? they ' re gone now , as van spends most of the movie slashing at things and watching them bleed . there is a robot battle , but only one worth mention , and it doesn ' t come until pretty far in to be of much notice .
escaflowne : a girl in gaea was produced by sunrise and bandai visual , and was directed by kazuki amane , same as in the series . it was released in theatres in japan on june 24th , 2000 , was licensed stateside by bandai entertainment and had a limited run in theatres stateside starting on january 25th , 2002 .
you know something is wrong with this movie the moment hitomi reveals herself to be a suicidal teen on the brink of self - destruction . this is not the vision of escaflowne we ' ve grown to enjoy , that people are currently watching on north american television . no , this is some other sort of beast entirely .
in this retelling of the story from the tv series vision of escaflowne , we follow a jaded , lonely high school girl named hitomi whose wish for the ending of her sorrow draws the attentions of forces from a mysterious world , the world of gaea . drawn into this strange new world , she encounters a land at war , and empire of floating castles at one end , and a ragtag group of rebels in search a giant organic robot known as escaflowne - a name which in the world evokes the very essence of war and destruction . can she , the
goddess of wings
, save this world , and herself , from utter destruction ?

that explanation gels with the more reserved , natural dialogue readings that are often present in hosoda’s films . many fans have noticed , though , that there’s something else that differentiates his movies’ vocal casts , in that established anime voice actors almost never play the lead roles in the director’s movies . the core vocal cast for the boy and the beast , for example , is made up of koji yakusho , shota sometani , and suzu hirose , all of whom work almost exclusively in live - action film and television . previous hosoda hits wolf children and summer wars are similarly light on big - name anime voice actors .
gaea is a mythical realm ruled by sword and sorcery and immersed in blood and violence . thrust into a conflict she doesn ' t quite understand , hitomi kanzaki helps aid the young prince van as they embark upon a journey to fight the black dragon clan . the battle over a legendary suit of dragon armor , escaflowne , has begun .
la primera vez que vi escaflowne the movie fue en el 2000 durante una special screening en la animexpo . 18 años después , ahora con otra percepción puedo ver que es una película menospreciada ya que su animación y diseño de personajes están increíbles . las escenas de acción no se sienten tan viejas y podrían rivalizar con algunos animes más nuevos .
hitomi kanzaki is in a very depressed mood . she only wants to sleep and fade away . her misery summons lord folken who sends her to gaea . the people of gaea think she is the wing goddess , who can call upon the legendary dragon armor called escaflowne . on gaea , king van , the sole survior of the white dragon clan , is also in a depressed state . swearing an oath to get his revenge on the black dragon clan that oblierated van ' s kingdom , he lives by the sword . now that the wing goddess has finally appeared , she posseses gaea ' s world fate in her heart . escaflowne will either lead gaea to peace or total ruin .

funimation ' s kickstarter campaign for the vision of escaflowne anime series ' new english dub posted an update on tuesday . the update revealed that aaron dismuke ( fullmetal alchemist ' s alphonse elric , blood blockade battlefront ' s leonardo watch , the heroic legend of arslan ' s arslan ) will voice main character van fanel . sonny strait will direct the english dub .
the vision of escaflowne is one of the most prolific classic anime to date—and a pivotal title in opening the door to anime fandom in north america . from its riveting fantasy storyline , gorgeous visuals , a stirring score , romance , and of course , awesome gigantic robots , it ' s clear that this is a series that has stood the test of time .
so far takanashi’s more popular production works have been recognized to be for the films of the space western series , “cowboy bebop” and the fantasy series “escaflowne . ” as for tv series , his most recognized works consist of the space musical series macross’ 7 , the action series “gate keepers” , the oavs for the mecha series gundam’s 0080 , and char’s counter attack .
the vision of escaflowne . v . 1 , dragons and destiny . v . 2 , betrayal and trust . v . 3 , angels and demons . v . 4 , past and present . v . 5 , paradise and pain . v . 6 , fate and fortune . v . 7 , light and shadow . v . 8 , forever and ever .
the ultimate edition will include the complete series and the movie on blu - ray . the tv series was known to feature extended footage for the earlier episodes but thanks to the support of justin sevakis they have created an authoring that will allow fans to watch the series with both broadcast style for the bandai entertainment english dub and the original for the japanese audio and funimation’s new english dub . that way fans of the old dub and those who want the new footage can experience both without any issues . the on - disc extras share the same as funimation’s upcoming release with textless opening & endings , music videos , video game cutscenes , club escaflowne interviews as well as trailers , anime expo 2000 and a special program for the escaflowne movie .
the characters themselves don ' t stand out quite as much as the action does . hitomi , van , and falcon are the center of the show , and they are fully fleshed out . however , the movie introduces many of the characters from the series briefly and without too much effort to explain their presence . thankfully , these cameos are few and far between . the plot works within what ' s explained , but there are times when a little more exposition would have been helpful . though i really liked the film , the grade for the show reflects that the story has a few gaps that a newcomer might find . . . well , not confusing so much as annoying .
high school student hitomi is transported from earth to the magical world of gaea , where she meets boy prince van fanel , and is caught up in his quest to unite the countries of gaea against the ominous zaibach empire . on the way , she discovers an hidden ability and strives to unravel layers of mystery surrounding van , his past , and the giant machine known as escaflowne .
escaflowne itself is one of the best mecha designs i ' ve seen in anime , truly a beast of a ' machine ' , literally taking the flesh and blood of whoever the poor user of it is , a real tool of war , one that is a double - edged sword , quite literally . and when kanno ' s amazing music is playing it’s a sight to behold .
$ 200 , 000 ( unlocked ! ) – in addition to the series ' new dub , the vision of escaflowne part 1 will be upgraded to include a special feature of the new english cast , including behind - the - scenes footage and interviews . this will be added to the kickstarter edition of part 1 , the standard edition available outside of this kickstarter , and the collector ' s edition .
the tower for supporting this endeavor , you get : everything in the $ 15 tier , plus a pre - order of the escaflowne tv series part 1 kickstarter edition , featuring episodes 1 - 13 of the hd complete uncut version of the series in japanese with english subtitles and the brand new english dub , all housed with exclusive art cards in a handsome chipboard box not available outside of this kickstarter .
however , as striking as all his production works were , this all comes to an end this year . on april 12 , artist and colleague takanashi , nobuteru yuuki , who worked on the character design of the fantasy series “escaflowne” and animated for supernatural martial arts series “battle royal high school” , reports on his twitter that at the age of 54 , the veteran producer that is minoru takanashi has passed away .
then there ' s the writing . i suspect sunrise hired escaflowne fans in middle school to write this , as the plot and its constant mention of the same things over and over again makes doraemon look like it was written by charles dickens . not to mention how boring of a formula the movie follows : if you ' ve watched anime for a few years now , you can guess what will happen before it happens .
even die - hard fans of japanese animation—with its pixie - faced characters , primitive movement , brilliant colors , and pseudo - mystical gobbledegook plots—will find this one a challenge . the plot ( as incomprehensible as the four - syllable title ) has something to do with a schoolgirl named hitomi transported to an alternate world called gaia , where she is hailed as the “wing goddess” who will help the oppressed people fight the evil black dragon clan . perhaps the problem is that the film is edited down from a 26 - part tv series , but it doesn’t help that the english soundtrack is so cheap , with bland , characterless voices and long stretches of dead silence . the images of battle and destruction , though jerky and unconvincingly animated , are vividly colorful—the most reliable trait of anime .
escaflowne concerns itself with fate , space and time , so its skilful editing in the movie can be understood as part of the theme , whereas in the tv series the editing was conventional yet the story made no sense . this is the key difference between tv series and movie . one is dressed up in conventional tones yet is weak narratively , while the other is an abstract enigma that makes somewhat logical sense underneath the mystery .
i actually want to know myself why this is still so popular because honestly , back then , in japan while we made escaflowne , we definitely put a lot of effort into it , but we didn’t really make it thinking that we were going to market it abroad . so we had no idea it would end up like this and i’m actually really shocked myself , in a good way , how many more fans there are .
character designs are more ' realistic ' than the tv series as expected , but what stands out the most is the world design which feels mystical and dreamlike , very memorable and unique , it feels like escaflowne and not a random generic fantasy - land . the music by yoko kanno recycles some motifs from the tv series but includes a few new compositions and songs , all of the standard you ' d expect from the master composer .
so what ' s all the fuss about ? well , if you enjoyed and remember the vision of escaflowne as a light and flowery fantasy / action entertainment , this may not be your thing . the tone of the film is not quite as dark as molasses , but it ' s quite close . even from the episodes i saw many years ago now , there ' s a significant difference . will you mind ? if these characters are sacrosanct , then yeah , i understand the problem . unlike the similar filmic
reversioning
of , say , macross , not only do the timelines change but the players do as well . lynn minmei may have been a singing star at the beginning of the macross movie rather than halfway through the tv series , but her personality didn ' t change from optimistically immature to suicidal loner - - that ' s the kind of transformation hitomi fans face . if you ' re a big fan of the show , this review is not for you . i can ' t tell you how you ' ll feel because i ' ve just not seen enough of the program . ( i should also warn you that it ' s far more violent than the tv series could ever get away with ; though it ' s not excessive , the blood flows freely . )
i think the ending was done well , exept it was kinda sad : ( the only thing i don ' t like about it is that hitomi and van have to split appart after all they ' ve been through together . . . . . . the fight was cool : ) . . . . . . . van beat allan . . . . . . . . but i wonder how van can stick his hand into that ruby type thing on escaflowne ?
now tarzan with a sword . allen is now a clone of sephiroth , and so forth ; every character you knew from escaflowne is ruined , and these character would still suck even to those not very familiar with the franchise ( such as myself ) . the only improved character is merle , who ' s a good deal less annoying than she was in the tv series . in fact , she ' s the best character in the whole movie ! unfortunately , that ' s not a compliment .
this is the writer doing what he should have done the first time round , this is taking the core premise of escaflowne and fulfilling its potential by working with the rest of the cast rather than doodling random crap together by himself and worming his way out with deus ex machinas every five minutes . this is a near - perfect melding of all departments of the production team gelling together to bring to the viewer a unique vision of another world and its impact on a teenager at the end of her tether .
funimation will also make a new matching dub for escaflowne : the movie . funimation will release both a standard edition and a collector ' s edition for the series . the standard edition will be a blu - ray disc / dvd combo pack , and both discs will have the director ' s cut with the new dub . the collector ' s edition will have the new dub on blu - ray disc and the old dub on dvd . the release will also include an exclusive interview with director kazuki akane and creator shoji kawamori .
actually , no , i must say i think this is pretty much the first time i’ve seen an english dub of my work and in fact , it’s about 10 years since i got to watch escaflowne in japanese . the american staff and cast are so incredibly good that honestly , i was thinking , “wow , when did hitomi and van learn english ? ” it didn’t feel strange at all to be listening to them in english , so i’m really grateful to the cast and to sonny [ strait , adr director ] . thank you .
the rewards for the campaign include pre - orders of exclusive kickstarter editions of both parts of the release , featuring 13 episodes each of the hd complete uncut version of the series in japanese with english subtitles as well as the new english dub . the kickstarter edition also includes exclusive art cards . other rewards include digital wallpapers , on - disc credit listings , pre - orders of escaflowne : the movie , theatrical - sized posters , the series ' soundtrack , and collector ' s edition box sets that feature an art book and an unannounced exclusive item , among others .
warning : this section contains spoilers ! hitomi kanzaki hitomi is a depressed schoolgirl , suffering from self - induced feelings of loneliness and alienation . she is not a clairvoyant , but frequently has dreams of a
boy in strange cloths
she had seen in the train station as a young girl . once on gaia she is often referred to as wing goddess and soon her outlook changes by finding a somewhat kindred spirit in van . she states in the movie that she
wants to stay with him
and when called to battle doesn ' t want the escaflowne to descend and van to pilot it due to the tale of escaflowne ' s previous destruction of gaia . van fanel of adom van is the young king of the destroyed kingdom of adom . he is lonely and very emotionally distant from those around him , aggressive in combat and showing a willingness to slay any enemy in combat ; he seeks the leader of the black dragon clan for revenge on his people and family . after meeting hitomi and a near death experience his attitude has changed as seen by merle and at the end he even mentions that he
doesn ' t want to fight anymore .
warning there will be some spoiles for both the movie and the show escaflowne in the brief review that follows . before i get to that , i ' ll give a capsule review : this is a very nice movie that takes the characters and basic plot structure of the tv show and crafts them in a way to talk about an entirely different set of themes . to get the most out of the movie some familiarity with the characters will be helpful , however being too tied to characters behaving and doing the same things as they did in the show will invariably lead to disappointment .
the world this is the true collector tier . for your generosity , you’ll receive a pre - order of the escaflowne complete series + movie collector’s edition box set , the ultimate collection . this includes the complete series and movie with japanese audio and english subtitles plus the new dub , as well as : - a chipboard box ( different from the kickstarter edition ) featuring new art from the japanese release - a perfect - bound art book - a special exclusive item - - to be announced ! - and bonus dvds of the original dub version - - the only release that includes this version !

even the movie ' s detractors admit that this is a wonderful looking production . it isn ' t quite as shiny as modern wonders like ghost in the shell 2 or appleseed , but it doesn ' t need the extra gloss . the score by yoko kanno is highly symphonic , which is appropriate for the movie ' s tone and shows the diversity of her work ( for those just familiar with her work on cowboy bebop ) . it ' s not a faultless production , but it is quite lovely overall . the character designs are , admittedly , different , but they make escaflowne stand out against some of the other shows on the market .

its unfair to compare the two really – the seventies was an era that saw so much change at the club and in the game as a whole – more tv and media coverage , more personalities in the game , more money , bigger and bigger transfer fees . the record british fee on 1 january 1970 was £165 , 000 , the record on 31 january 1979 was £1 , 469 , 000 – and by then clubs were already struggling to keep up as a result of that .
