This is one of my top, all time favorite songs. I put it on iTunes, and it's play count passed 200 easily. Yes I'm a dork, I know. Anime loves to have its female characters floating in space... this is the only one I've seen that pulls it off so well. Hitomi FTW.
This was the show that got me into anime way back when. A friend of my older brother's in Texas had the VHS boxed set and decided she didn't care for the show, so my brother bought it off her and she had it shipped to us in Canada and we watched it. It was really, really good. The noses did take a little getting used to, though. Such pointy noses.
When I see a 16 year old video on CZcams, it brings tears to my eyes, because that's the time when I had a youtube channel and had higher hopes for the future of the internet. Canon rock, old Final Fantasy videos like katethegreat19, runescape, and fighting to find anime on the internet via some little sites like Veoh and dailymotion..., etc... Great times... A lot of things were better in 2006-2009, especially being young and hopeful, thinking there would be something better and that the internet would save the modern world culture... Now in 2022 the world became a shipwreck and only some small things of the internet remained the same... If not social media, the world would be less hatefull I guess... :/ CZcamsr since 2005 december...
Every so often I find myself re-watching this opening, it just screams childhood. It's hard to believe this video is 10 years old, it felt like yesterday when I watched this as a kid xD
I just finished watching this series not to long ago, I enjoyed being able to see it again. How I missed Vision of Escaflowne. It was the first anime series I saw, I was like 5 or 6 at the time I saw it; never missed a single episode.
Watching this opening brings back memories when I first watched the series in middle school...funny how certain things can hold so much nostalgic value, even if it's been awhile.
This is truly one of the best animes of all time. I just wished they could have focused a little more on the guymelefs, they were really awesome and i wanted to see them more in action
I wouldn't hope more guymelefs fights. I can understand your viewpoint, but I think the drama and the struggling in this story feels more entertaining than a Gundam ripoff would be.
Da muss ich zustimmen. Die Anime-Zeit von MTV war wirklich grandios. "The Vision of Escaflowne" zählt für mich sowieso zu einer der besten Animes überhaupt, sie hat in so gut wie allen Bereichen etwas zu bieten (Action, Romantik, etc.) Wobei die Anime-Saison bei VOX und VIVA auch nicht zu unterschätzen ist. Mit Serien wie "Blue Submarine No 6" oder vor allem "Noir" hatten die auch Perlen zu bieten.
I feel for you. I first watched this 10 years ago and loved it. I've seen so much anime since then but this is still one of my most favorites above all others.
Vision of Escaflowne might have some details that bugged me; it deserves my respect for its emotional intensity; its plot trying to surprise us at each episode, the revelations; the characters with their pains and joys. I think if it was more soap-opera-like, I wouldn't get so much impacted emotionally by the whole story build up of intensity. If Serial Experiment's Lain and Neon Genesis Evangelion were awesome, Vision of Escaflowne is soooo close behind. I'll watch it again. And hope to get other good anime series to watch those days! :)
I loved this series. Brilliant storytelling and that white haired villain had one of the scariest voices I've heard in an anime. Can't believe how they could dub him so badly in the US version.
That was Tenchi Muyo for me, then Outlaw Star. I was so addicted and I still am! I just finished Death Note then Chobits, and I don't know what to move on to next.
Aw, Escaflowne. It seems like just yesterday I was so into this show. It's hard to believe that so many years have passed since then... where does the time go?
The song is called Yakusoku wa Iranai.....i'd like to upload the episodes..but youtube will cancel them...before there were many episodes of this anime but now they are cancelled..i wonder why -.-
escaflowne ist einer der besten animes den man je sehen kann :p hat alles was man sich wünscht: vielschichtige chars action romantik ;p einfach eine fesselnde story MfG Drag0n
That sounds unbelievable. I think maybe you meant a series they had yet to release. But it was probably licensed already. I mean, what you said just sounds crazy.
Now this is what I was talking about!!! Thank you for posting. Most of the opening videos of Escaflowne posted here are shitty Spanish dubs. Those taco benders really like anime, but they never have the common courtesy of buying the original DVD's.
I love this anime!! You really can't beat Escaflowne on most levels. It even managed to combine a shoujo love triangle and shounen mecha and action with out turning it into a weird, mutated mess of an anime. The OP's excellent.
If you are talking about Gundam they are not all in the same continuity. There are many gundam series, but not all of them are in the same continuities. You can watch something like the Original Mobile Suit Gundam and then go watch G Gudnam or Gundam Wing,Gundam Seed and be fine...because all four of those are seperate stories in seperate universes.
Thanks, I'll check those out! Bebop was amazing, I watched that end to end on here as well. And I just finished Gundam 8th MS team and Gundam Wing (I prefered 8th MS, Hero sounds like Charlie Sheen on the US dub).
i love watching this anime...remember watching it when i was hella little...still love it...i think this version is better then the newer version which sucks ass because the drawings are bad and the story line kind of sucks too but i love this old escaflowne version....just absolutely love it!
In the remake movie they changed that. They look better though the movie was panned. I plan on watching it once my memories of this show end, and I can judge it on its own merits.
Das waren noch Zeiten mit Golden Boy, Vision of Escaflowne, Lupin the 3th, City Hunter etc... Diese Komerzparodien die heute laufen sind alles nur der letzte Scheiss... Schade dass MTV so runtergekommen ist.

It’s 2020, and this music it still great!
i love this song..
its been almost 10yrs since i've been addicted to this.. :D
Yoko Kanno and Maaya Sakamoto are just devastating here.This is an absolute classic.

Man, this anime is from 1996, it's been 12 years i can't believe i was ever that young.
I watched the anime last week. I don't regret it. :)
Oh, I love this, so so much. Escaflowne is 90s anime at it's best. (The golden age)
Every so often I find myself re-watching this opening, it just screams childhood. It's hard to believe this video is 10 years old, it felt like yesterday when I watched this as a kid xD
Ah the memories this song brings. I need to watch this show again.

the old good time!!! back when one piece and naruto came out!

Man... So much nostalgia... It hurts... T__T
Me too! This song was stuck in my head for ages and I could not remember the anime's title until now!
i loved the show when i was younger and i love that its on youtube now.

It's just so peaceful. It reminds me of every fantasy story ever because it fits all of them.
this song is so great. Vision of Escaflowne is defintely my fav anime.
Marvelous! One of the best anime ever made. Far better than Evangelion! Thanks for bringing it for us. ;)

never seen such beauty in an anime opening.
Hach diese Serie ruft erinnerungen wach...
I love it^^
So much memories :) I watched this once on pirate DVD's. My first anime which started my whole hobby. Thank you so much for this. bring up memories!
OMG! This is the Anime Song that I have been looking for!!! I Love this anime music!!
Now this brings back memories.
OMG I watched this soooooo long ago. I completely forgot about it until I saw it mentioned on tumblr... this is like one of the best animes I've seen!
This was a great anime, i should download it and watch it again
year 2000 first see this anime in philippines..
memories --,)
I wish they would remake the first one man i remember getting up on saturday morning to watch this i loved it.
This is still going to be one of my favorite anime shows.
I loved this series. Brilliant storytelling and that white haired villain had one of the scariest voices I've heard in an anime. Can't believe how they could dub him so badly in the US version.
1st Grade, Damn Nostalgia
This opening is great, one of my favorite, the name original is "Yakusoku wa Iranai", the singer is Maaya Sakamoto, she is seiyu, too.
at 0:34-0:36....it is very well done with the music. Its perfectly timed. The whole thing is great. Well done!
nice opening, gives me grand feeling, music like tis is peaceful
That was Tenchi Muyo for me, then Outlaw Star. I was so addicted and I still am! I just finished Death Note then Chobits, and I don't know what to move on to next.
I've watched the english Fox Kids version and the new english version. The new english version uses the original opening. Plus, the ending too.
Ah, this is one of my all time favorite animes. It really brings back memories. Thanks for sharing. ^^
"kimi wo, kiomi wo, ai shitteru"
i love this song!
T//T
Record of Lodoss War inspired my interest in JRPG, Escaflowne inspired me to make my own JRPG.
Aw, Escaflowne. It seems like just yesterday I was so into this show. It's hard to believe that so many years have passed since then... where does the time go?
The name of the song is Yakusoku Wa Iranai
The song is called Yakusoku wa Iranai.....i'd like to upload the episodes..but youtube will cancel them...before there were many episodes of this anime but now they are cancelled..i wonder why -.-
escaflowne ist einer der besten animes den man je sehen kann :p
hat alles was man sich wünscht:
vielschichtige chars
action
romantik ;p
einfach eine fesselnde story
MfG
Drag0n
the title of the song is Yakusokou wa iranai
that was beautiful
De acuerdo, una de las mejores intros de anime de todos los tiempos. Amo a Maayaaaaaa!!
The song is Yakusoku wa iranai sung by Maaya sakamoto
That sounds unbelievable. I think maybe you meant a series they had yet to release. But it was probably licensed already. I mean, what you said just sounds crazy.
i can't remember how long ago i watched this series
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
so good...
Now this is what I was talking about!!! Thank you for posting. Most of the opening videos of Escaflowne posted here are shitty Spanish dubs. Those taco benders really like anime, but they never have the common courtesy of buying the original DVD's.
Este fue un muy buen dibujo y hasta algo innovador.
This show was hype
I love this anime!! You really can't beat Escaflowne on most levels. It even managed to combine a shoujo love triangle and shounen mecha and action with out turning it into a weird, mutated mess of an anime. The OP's excellent.
I miss witching this soo much!

This is my favorite anime tied with Gundam Wing.
thank you for commenting..i really do love this anime
Ah, those were the days. Back when an anime had to have giant mechs or random transformation sequences to be a hit. Good times, good times.
Wonderful ^^
i love watching this anime...remember watching it when i was hella little...still love it...i think this version is better then the newer version which sucks ass because the drawings are bad and the story line kind of sucks too but i love this old escaflowne version....just absolutely love it!
Actually, if you happen to have Comcast's on demand service, its showing Escaflowne, free right now.
una obra de arte!!!!!!!!
this is the best anime
cuando la pasaban por Tv azteca daban el ending en japones, que recuerdos
Did..this one is soo way better.
Yakusoku wa Iranai (No need to promise) by Maaya Sakamoto
i remember this when i was a kidlling
In the remake movie they changed that. They look better though the movie was panned. I plan on watching it once my memories of this show end, and I can judge it on its own merits.
It would be great if adultswim of scifi picked it up. I would definitely watch it.
I saw this back in 1998. So many shows you loved when you were younger look like such shit when you watch them now. But not this one. :)
please toonami put this on your list.
i said anime OPENING.
few anime openings are that beautiful.
that was cool
lolz this was the first anime i ever watched! think i was 9 or 10
Zeichnung der Nasen ist bei der Serien schon gewöhnungsbedürftig,aber der Rest einfach klasse!
hört sich super an =D
escaflowne rockt gewaltig
At least in Germany it had a different intro song "Dax Riders - People"
kasi po it olny contains 26 episodes so if araw araw or 5x a week tapos na agad.
Peace through power
Das waren noch Zeiten mit Golden Boy, Vision of Escaflowne, Lupin the 3th, City Hunter etc...
Diese Komerzparodien die heute laufen sind alles nur der letzte Scheiss...
Schade dass MTV so runtergekommen ist.
One of the oldest video on CZcams amazing.
ah the nostalgia
This should be in a Super Robot crossover game along with Sakura Wars and Broken Blade.
i wish they brought the anime back
season 2 or something...
thank you! :)
ich finde den song zum deutschen intro eindeutig besser... der hier ist so standart für anime. der andere ist echt was besodnres, aber jedem seins.
Me encanta esta canción, aunque no tengo ni idea de lo que dicen.
Cartoon Network's Adult Swim should license this show.
"unneed a promise"
aber ich finde das japsen intro ziemlich gut..ich liebe das intro..i really love it
waht's the name of the song??? I really like it!!!
this is d best anime for me so far bec i like d idea of combiing mystery love sory medieval action and robots combie in 1 anime
