- Everything You Need To Know About Escaflowne
This synopsis covers escaflowne the movie (2000) which is a retelling of the entire escaflowne (1996) anime. There are a couple differences between the movie and the anime but generally the same plot.
Shoji Kawamori, famed for creating the 1982 space epic Macross, created Escaflowne. Kawamori was Escaflowne's principal writer and narrative supervisor, but not its director. Initially, Escaflowne was conceived as a male-oriented manga by Yasuhiro Imagawa. The initial Escaflowne manga, serialized in Shonen Ace well before the TV series, features Hitomi as a morphing magic girl. "Escaflowne" is the tale of a little Japanese girl who has swept away to a mythical world where the Earth and Moon are held together by magic.

WHO REMEMBERS THE THEME SONG???
You literally helped me find it again after 5 years of on and off searching. Literally gasped the second I saw the title and bolted to the search bar
@@KNG_Montana LETS GO!!! This anime was mint!
That theme song was lit
@@symfonio oh ya!
Yoko Kanno and Maaya Sakamoto! Absolute classic.
During my teens I used to watch Escaflowne and I was fascinated by it's story and magic , adventurous yet scifi....
Yesss it was so dope
I watched it as kid for the first time (I was around 10). Now I'm 30 and I still love it.
Yoooo it was so influential. Great story and catchy theme song
Same age! I watched it with my older sister when we would stay up late to watch anime as kids. Because of staying up late to watch these frankly pretty mature shows for my age, it really felt immersive like I was being whisked away into these fantasy worlds. Escaflowne the Movie left a HUGE mark on my mind. The composer Yoko Kanno is also now one of my favorites...the music she makes for anime is just second to none. Wolfs Rain, Cowboy Bebop, Macross, this movie and more...she's just got such good ears for music.
Yeah you summarized the crappy Escaflowne film from 2000, not the anime "Vision of Escaflowne". They're two VERY different things... For example the Black Dragons and Abaharaki aren't even a thing in the anime, and Folken is a much more complex character than the brooding, megalomaniacal, nihilistic, one-dimensional archetype presented in the movie. Summed up the film just fine, but the title of your video is a bit misleading.
Read the description
Your right, the TITLE is very misleading. You shouldn't have to then read the description to see it's actually about - as you correctly say - the crappy movie. Good summary of the movie but thumbs down for the click bait.
Man the movie is a loose retelling at best it misses like 75% of the story and character development. The movie and the show are not comparable. They don’t summarize each other. Have to say I hard agree with you Jake.
@KingKasper you should have put that in the title.
Video essayist moment.
Im here because Hidetaka Miyazaki (creator of Dark Souls, Elden Ring, Bloodborne, etc...) said he wants to make a game inspired by this anime
👀👀👀
That's actually sick!
One of the very few animes where I wished had video games or tabletop games. Such a beautiful and awesome setting.
Ya that would be so cool!
@@KingKasper I would love an RPG or a full on Fighting game.
@@doublestarships646 that would be mad fun
There was a video game of Escaflowne. lol Fulkrum sky fortresses gets teleported to Japan
I remember first watching Escaflowne on Fox Kids. In the 90's and early and mid 2000's had so many good animes that came over here in America imo. I have both Vision of Escaflowne and the movie I love them both.
Yooo same here! Fox kids was such a huge part of our childhoods. Let's go #team90s
@@KingKasper same here! Escalflowne was my first taste of anime.
I'm not a huge anime fan to this day but i do appreciate it and do like several others.
@@Quadrupliplex what are your fav's?
@@KingKasper The ones that were pretty heavily exported to America lol.
Cowboy Bebop, heat guy j, trigun, one punch man, all the dragon Ball stuff of course, attack on Titan, death Note, berserk, Fullmetal alchemist.
Several others I'm sure I'm not remembering.
This is one of my most beloved Anime!!!!!
Thanks for watching! It was a great series
Same!! Was obsessed with it when it first came out. Im yet to watch the movie.
Loved this video! 👏🏼💯
Thank you 😊
His name is pronounced V *ah*n. The 'a' has a deeper sound to it. Not the van like the vehicle. 😆 Also, I would love to see this anime get a reboot or continuation. I miss the characters so much and was never quite satisfied with either the movie or series ending.
Ya we need a good reboot! They did it with shaman king on Netflix. Why not this too! Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
2:22 Her friend pressured her to leave because she’s faster? That’s not even close to what happened.
Thanks for watching
May your video review receive more eyes and thumbs up. Keep up the good work!
Thanks street trout, appreciate it!
The anime is very different from the movie. Honestly, the characters are the same, but the plot and their roles are very different. Apart from Van. He’s still a hero of sorts.
It's crazy the adaptations change so much
I know. I always just viewed them as “alternate universes” of each other. Similar to how most of the DBZ movies didn’t really fit in to the main DBZ timeline.
I enjoyed both but was always blown away by how the tv show easily mixed in shoujo and shonen themes together to create something interesting. I always found it fascinating how useful a character Hitomi was. In a world of swordsmen and giant robots she always was able to play a pivotal role in events in the story. The main characters were all able to shine without stealing the spotlight from each other for the most part. And the world building was pretty dope without being too overwhelming.
@@tutuadefolalu3661 it was such a magnificent series! I remember waking up Saturday mornings (if I can recall correctly all those years ago) and watching this in awe!
Maybe one day we'll get a much deserved reboot.
Thanks for watching!
@@KingKasper No problem! Thanks for the dope video! It was fun reminiscing about this show. I too watched it on Saturday mornings. It was on "Fox Kids" if I remember correctly. Good times, good times.
@@tutuadefolalu3661 yo fox kids... Throwback 🔥
Least comprehensible story explanation ever
😂
Yes, it's the movie Escaflowne, not the series. Explanation was a bit confusing, but thanks for posting this anyway. The movie was ok, but the series was one of the best anime ever in my opinion. It had some of the best music from one of the best anime composer ever (Yoko Kanno), and I'm glad they used it in the movie as well. The only thing I gripe about is that the series got canceled. Not because it didn't do well, but there were other big name anime, like Evangelion, that came out at the same time that affected the rating. Anyways, now I gotta watch the whole series again 😅
Haha ya this series didn't get the love it deserved at the time! Thanks for watching bro. Hope you enjoy that rewatch
Yakusoku Wa Iranai is my most fave anime OST. It's so magical. I just wished Hitomi and Van ended up together
They should reboot the series !
The movie and series are radically different just like movie Hitomi and series Hitomi
Thanks for watching!
I was so thirsty for Guyver I watched this on fox kids back in 2000-2001
Yooo the goat box
The first time I watched the movie was in 2008, when I was 15 years old, I remembered yesterday so I tried to remember the name of the movie and find it again. Lots of memories. because the movie is so good 😊
Yes this whole series is too epic. Had such a unique style! Glad you found this video ☺️
The music, darkness, sadness, and blood make this anime an underrated masterpiece
This series was eerie but really cool. Perfect amount of edginess
I hate they didn’t continue with the story. I remember being like 19 or 20 when it came out. I’m 42 and still like to remember this anime from way back.
Ya definitely deserved a reboot
Dance of the Curse is my absolute fave.
Thanks for watching!
You describe the plot to the theatrical movie (Escaflowne 2000) not the televised anime series (Tenko no Escaflowne 1996). Two very different stories. Hitomi tv wasn't depressed. Hitomi movie is... Please fix your title it's misleading. It is a very good synopsis of the movie though. Good job there.
Thanks 🙌
Yeah I agree. I had to do a double take when he started the synopsis.
@@Lamonticus 😂🙌
@@Lamonticus Vision of Escaflowne has so much deep lore. I don't know if anyone can make a 5 min synopsis. They would have to leave so much out.
@@Lamonticushe just posts emojis cause he’s kinda embarrassed he lazily made the video
Going old school. I love it!
Old school anime was the best!
Escaflowne to me is The Ancestor of Isekai. It's a Real O.G Anime like Ruroni Kenshin and Evangelion that began the isekai genre and made it to what it is today. Back then in the 1990s and early 2000s, nobody including me ever thought of Isekai nor what it meant until Konosuba in 2016 showed itself. I remember Escaflowne when I was in Elementary School growing up and watching it on Fox Kids and Adult Swim. Its not my favorite show from Nihongo but its enjoyable. But after Konosuba, more and more Isekai Anime presented themselves until now it seems like The Isekai Genre is trying to dominate The Anime Industry. Joey Bizinger The Anime Man hates stuff as this but Gigguk doesn't mind too much. I though personally don't mind either as long as it balances itself from other shows in the season.
I don't mind but it needs to have a unique angle for me to enjoy it. Like solo leveling or goodnight world
I see have all of my original VHS (The series and the Movie). Van was my childhood crush
That's actually lit you still have the VHS!
the story told here is a bit muddled. you combined the movie and anime storylines. super similar but different.
Thanks for watching bro!
I’ve never seen this story of escaflowne before
The movie adaptation of the story is weird haha
Its like an AU to the main universe
You just had to start with the theme from Nagi... 😢 damn Asuna memories.
Heavy throwback
Name of the ost you used please
Lakey inspired
Where I can see the streaming ?
Try go go anime
Anime is amazing format for folklore and creativity....Japanese did well keeping western folklore alive to point they know more than westerners who have no idea of stories like Atlantis...and etc...and the effort placed into musical scores is amazing...
🙌 🔥 exactly
Bruh its bean 3 years since I watch these super cool looking mechs fight still i remember them but I don't know about the whole concept and I want to who's the strongest and how many mechs are in Eacaflowne
Good questions. Thanks for watching
@@KingKasper soo can't you give any answer of it ?
Escaflowne sounds like the name of some sort of nasal sinusitis medicine
🤣 on god
Am I first!? Wow!!! Can’t wait to watch!!!
Thanks!!! Appreciate you taking the time
@@KingKasper I was very good! I've never seen the movie despite owning it but I watched the anime in high school! It's one of my favorites.
@@fataleflare whaaatt why haven't you watched the movie yet
@@KingKasper I don't know! Just haven't gotten around to it yet!! But I feel like i should dig it up and give it a watch soon.
@@fataleflare Definitely do it, it'll probably bring back some early anime nostalgia
My first!!! And I don't regretted it!!!
Epic first anime
It's more pronounce Von more than the vehicle Van
Thanks!
KIMI WO KIMI WO AAAAISHITERU
Thanks for watching 😄
Wait this is the movie
I thought you were gonna cover the show
Nah the description says this is the movie. Did you prefer the show or the movie?
@@KingKasper TV show
movie was a unique retelling you see from time to time
love Escaflowne but I always thought it didn't do well in Japan
It was an amazing series 😁
If I recall correctly the series was "well received" but completely overshadowed by Evangelion which aired around the same time. Dont quote me on that, just going off memory
@@mmcion1 nah you probably right
00:34 click here to start the video
Thanks for watching
Mae trduscalo a español men
Thanks for watching
Movie is much different from the TV series. Don't confuse the people.
Thanks for watching
Escaflowne the movie???
🙌🏼
I didn't understand this video. The explanation of what happens is very disjointed and hard to follow.
I'll reboot this next year
Not well explained. What about the "Zaibach"? And in general the philosophical background about the idealistic fight between Zaibach and the rest of Gaya? I think people will be not very interessted to watch The Vision of Escaflowne after this video. But anyway thank you
Appreciate you dude!
You didn’t summarize the anime… you did the movie… why?
I'll do the show one day
Getting barsoom vibes from this
As in the book?
@@KingKasper yes
here from jpegmafia
🔥🔥🔥
Dilandau not being trans (I assume) in the movie kinda ruined it for me.
Interesting 🤔 didn't even know that
I think the movie wasn't right, it went crazy...the series was best ever...
🚫 🧢
@@KingKasper huh..???
@@ambientsoda106 no cap....i agree
You sicken me as I hear you mix the tv show and the movies plot
🤦🏽♂️
that was not the anime plot
Its the plot of the movie which was a reimagining of the anime plot. It says that in the description. Thanks for watching bro!
The movie and TV show are different.
Slightly yes
Eh? Bloody hell too many lock explantion first there is 2nd and 3rd version of manga on Tenkuu no Escaflowne
2nd the story lead to different how she get Isekai
3rd there is too many version how it lead to destraction of this world
😂💯
I didnt like this version of eacaflowne...the vast version of eacaflown is thec26 episode anime a d its innovation use of tarot, gergorian songs and battle...intrigue, Atlantic, love and sorrow...abd maybe aliens too...best anime ever that changed anyone who watched its as a kid...
Definitely! This anime had a profound effect on me. Definitely got me into "less main stream" anime
@@KingKasper it was amazing fantasy, mixed with robotics abd air ships abd even a parellel version of the second world War or Japan's defeat via nuclear bombs...
They reworked everything, this use if Gregory's charts and opera was amazing, in a new use case...each episode was like a ritual of change and emotion ...one of the best animes of all time!
Heetomees lol bruh stop this is not escaflowne
💀
This is clickbait.
Thanks for watching
