I just started watching Escaflowne because a friend really wanted me to see it and I watched all 26 episodes and enjoyed every last one. it has it all, and they make you wonder about life and love too. Its like real life, but animated, very, very good. I would like to see more anime just because of Escaflowne. I am hooked!

5 out of 5 stars "It's all to make us shine...".......2003-05-08

Duke Freid has returned to Godashim to find that his country is the next target of Zaibach. Faced with the inevitable, he asks Alan Shezar join with him. These two and Escaflowne must face the Four Demon Armies of Zaibach - some 55,000 men and 10,000 Guymelefs (war robots) - an overwhelming force. All of this to fulfill Folken's plans to gain control of the treasure of Freid - the power of Atlantis.

Hitomi is in crisis. Because of her peering into the grim future, she is plagued by memories of her horrid visions and refuses to help Van. The Prince without a country becomes determined to do for himself what Hitomi has taught him, with unexpected and nearly disastrous effects.

Who is the mysterious ruler of Zaibach, who complains that a dragon is keeping him from seeing the future in his Destiny Prognostication Engine. Now we find that he is an old man, once come from earth, but his agenda - is it really the conquest of all Gaea?

This is the turning point in the series. There can be no question at the end of this DVD that this is more than just another struggle between the forces of good and evil. The care that is taken to fill out each character and make fabulous kingdoms come alive makes this a drama that is far more believable than its fantasy setting.

Each episode offers something new, a piece of history, a new character like Dryden the trader, the strange Ispano people who made Escaflowne. This is one of those cases where anime shows its ability be the equal of film in drama and quality.

5 out of 5 stars Escaflowne pleases again.......2002-12-17

This series is quite a amazing. If you can sit down and watch through the entire series over a couple of days with someone else who enjoys it I promise you won't be disappointed. This volume offers some answers, some new questions and some amazing fights. If you liked the first 3 volumes or even some of them you won't be disappointed.

keep the faith,

good good anime series. top notch directing, story, characters buy them all! but be sure to watch subtitled version.

5 out of 5 stars Simply Stunning..........2001-04-28

The amazing thing about Escaflowne is that just when you think it can't possible get any better it does. With each subsequent volume the story gets more involved, the characters become more flushed out, and the stakes higher than ever before.

We begin to realise more and more Hitomi's role against the Zaibach Empire, the origins of Escaflowne, and best of all the juicy details of Allen's past and how they effect the present and future of all those involved. I was stunned by the level of intensity displayed in this volume of episodes. Definately worth every penny.
