Escaflowne Ever seen this anime movie?

I recently got the anime movie, Escaflowne the movie and it's so great! I've watched 5 times already! The anime is so amazing! Van and Hitomi have very different personalities and it has nothing to do with the series. Dilandou- however that name is spelled- is still a phsyo, a lunatic, mad man with magical powers! Van and Folken have them too, magical powers. Van is very bloody and Hitomi is well...wants to fade away. It's quite a good movie though. The songs, two main ones, are very good! What I don't like is the ending. It just iirates me the way they ended. If you see it you'll see what i mean, i won't give the ending away. By the way Hitomi is supposedly the "Wing Goddess" Alen is way bishi but kinda hot looking and Millerlena is way different. No blonde is this babe. She has redish-orange hair and wears a very weird outfit. Watch the movie it's so awesome.!

 

Yeah, I got that movie. From what I know isn't it supposed to be a variation of the Visions of Escaflowne series crammed into one movie? I got the movie without completely watching the TV series.

 

I rented all the DVDs of the Visions of Escaflowne from my library (not all at the sametime). I really enjoyed watching that anime too esp the twist ending. I so love twisted endings like you see in this anime. Than I accidently downloaded the movie of Escaflowne and I seen by skimming though it that it is pretty much the samething as the series. I said to myself why should I watch a shorter version of something I already seen. So I never really watched the movie cus of that reason. I recommend watching the series. And for people who have seen both, if I have already seen the anime should I reconsider watching the movie?

 

ahh...I watched this movie in theatres, and it was really good! ^^
i've been trying to buy a dvd copy of it, but still haven't been locate a copy

 

Having seen both, I can guarantee you that the movie is not a condensed version of the series. Similar basic plotline, same main characters (sans Dornkirk), different execution and motion.

As for Van's character design for the movie, I like it better than the anime version. But that's me. ::drools over roommate's Escaflowne movie poster::

 

i would like to see this anime, and the series, ive heard of it, but havent been able to locate either the movie, or the series, or wutever.

 

Yea the movie i thought was better than the anime, kinda, cuz i haven't seen all the anime episodes but in the movie Hitomi figures out really quick that she likes Van and wants to be with him although the ending kinda contridiates that or something like that...heeehee. anyway, the movie characters were very good and i thought that van's image was pretty good. his tatoos are are kinda cool too. skimming the movie isn't that great of an idea, i think watching the whole thing is better cuz you get the better gist of it. that's what i think. the movie was awesome and i wanna get the artbook! actually i want the cd cuz of two songs, Yubiwa and Sora! Those songs are so awesome!

 

Kawamori seems to be developing a tendency towards making movie versions of his series. First there was Macross: Do You Remember Love, quite possibly the movie that has created the most continuity confusion in history. Different character and ship designs, different story timeline including deletion/addition of events... yeah. Great movie but due to it and Macross 7, theres a lack of continuity in the Macross universe (you ask why. Tell me why Exedore switches from his series design to his movie design in between the series and Macross 7.)

Then there was Escaflowne the movie, which... well, thats covered here.

Then there was Macross Plus: The Movie, which didnt actually screw with continuity. If anything it just leads to debate over which concert and Guld vs X-9 fight is better.

Ugh. I ramble too much. Pointless post from me... ah well.

 

the movie really didn't have anything to do with the series like i said. it was very different. the plot line may be simliar but not the same. it was a great movie and i have no idea what u were talking about, maybe a little.

 

ahhh gotcha! a girl on gaea, is that the movie also or what?

 

hee hee. gotcha. theres a box set with three discs, whats up with that? it costs a lot. i was gonna get it but way too much!

 

Escaflowne The Movie

I love Escaflowne The Movie.

Although, unlike the TV series, this movie is directed at a bit more mature audiences...

What was your favortie part of Escaflowne The Movie??

Mine has to be when Van took that horse, and then it just exploded. (he did it all with his mind!!)

So, What was your favorite part of this anime greatness?

 

i loved the opening sequence when Van is slaying all those blackdragon guys...or the sword fight between Van and Allen. Allen totally kicks vans @ss with only on hand on his katana...again ^^x;

 

Yeah, Allen is sooo awsome, especially when he fights Van!!!

 

Van made a horse explode.. Why dont i remember this... Tomrow ill have to grab the DVD and watch this again.. been a long time since i seen it..


I likes the anime in the movie itself better.. but story wise the Series kicked so much more ***... Just cause a compressed version try to tell so much in so small amount of time..
