Words do not do justice to describe this incredible anime. Right after the first episode the only thing I could say was, “Whoa..that was awesome…” Escaflowne has the components that make it one of thee best anime. The artwork is amazing and of OAV quality. I got such a feel for the characters since each main character is so different and deep in their own way. The story has so many twists and turns that just when you think things are in the clear, something bad happens and a whole mess of things come into the picture. Each character with his or her own dilemma that they need to solve which all comes together as one in the end. Truly amazing. The tone of the series is sort of melancholy most of the time but is also funny. A lot of things that a hopeless romantic would like. And the action sequences are nothing short of amazing! Action fans will most definitely not be disappointed in that department.

I could definitely go on and on about Escaflowne for hours on end. But let me just leave you with this….if you like action anime, go watch it. If you like romantic anime, go watch it. If you like philosophical anime, go watch it. If you like funny anime, deep anime, and just about any category you can think of…..go watch it. Arigatou!
