Talk:The Vision of Escaflowne

message: There should be more about the Manga, and also, do we have a citation that the Manga came after the show? If the Manga is based on the show, why does Hitomi, the very main character, look completely different? I'm not talking about little changes, I think she has braids, black long hair and glasses. I thought it logical to assume that they discarded that crappy design when they made the show, not to think that the makers of the show handed off the task of making a manga and said "do whatever, I don't care."66.41.66.213 04:22, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Having a section on the setting is perfectly acceptable, and until/unless you actually add it to the plot section you should not remove the entire section without discussing it first. Also, as this article is about a fictional world, having a section (which was rather short, not "extensive" as you described it) explaining a little about each of the major kingdoms is very useful to someone coming to learn a little more about the series. In fact, it adds quite a bit as they will better understand things if they have that knowledge and view the series. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 06:45, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The kingdoms themselves are of little importance and would be better covered by putting in an actual list of the primary characters that includes a summary of the settings. I removed it because it doesn't really belong there the way it is now. If you want to put it back, though, go ahead. I'm sick of arguing with people today.

message: The subtitled VHS release by AnimeVillage was in late 1998, not 1999. Amazon has it wrong.

replies: text: "Escaflowne Compendium" is sanctioned by Bandai Entertainment and maintained by Egan Loo (a contributor to Anime News Network and Animerica, among others). It's reliable and meets WP:SPS.--Nohansen (talk) 15:23, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

* Add reception section
* Expand Drama CD section

thread_title:  To Do 

message: If the anime was released in 1996, then why does it say that the manga was released in 1994?187.65.115.91 (talk) 23:10, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Because the manga was released at the same time the anime was in production?  Easier/quicker to whip out manga than it is a full anime series... hence why the manga started coming out before the anime was released.Dave (talk) 18:51, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release date 

message: I believe I heard recently that the claim that Escaflowne was originally planned for 39 episodes was denied by at least one of the show's creators (Kawamori?). The claim has sources in this article, but I'm not convinced that they're accurate in this case. Can we research this further? 2601:249:100:54B0:C823:4817:305A:E6FF (talk) 05:00, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Episode count rumors 

message: Under the heading "Production" the first sentence states "Shoji Kawamori first proposed the series after a trip to Nepal...and pictured a hidden world where an epic focusing on both fate and destiny should be set" (emphasis added). "Fate" and "destiny" are synonyms, so saying "both" is nonsensical, and using both terms is redundant. Perhaps this could be improved. Bricology (talk) 03:37, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
