04/06/2025 Its missing something See more 01/29/2021 the movie was like most anime movies in the era an eye candy, but they story tend to be boring when the philosophy enters in the story. See more 10/10/2019 Beautiful movie with classic visuals, high fantasy settings and heart warming story See more 05/09/2018 Escaflowne is the best animation have ever seen, scorch development and straight to the important points while being careful with the slower segments and blend of the rest of it even when in lower form really save the film. An amazing feat in animation that has re-watch value. Very hopeful themes and the good team does win most of the time inclusive in the finish. Beautiful render of scenery as well as character development despite what might seem frustrating this feature film is astonishing. Thanks for this, a new all time favorite, could in actual see to the completion the entire feature presentation. Much applause as well. See more 02/10/2018 Thought this animated movie was ok, but, didn't really seem to follow the story as it was a bit complicated See more 08/09/2017 I rewatched this today after 10 years since the day i first watched it and I loved it 100% as much as I did back then. Back then, i went in expecting some sort of sequel/prequel biz to the tv series that I was obsessed with and I remember that I was shocked that I resonated with this movie at a much deeper level past the whole animu fandom. Today as a 31 year old, I can assess what it was that I found so inherently beautiful about this movie (aside from the stunning animation which holds against time!) - was that the whole thing was really all just about Hitomi. This whole movie is a gigantic metaphor and I know it sounds reeeaaalllly "INCEPTION!!!" to say this, but I imagine the creators just didn't want to bother recreating Tenkuu no Escaflowne's overblown and twisted plots and complex characters and jam it into 90 minuets, so I feel they went the 'Eva route' and made it about something much more metaphorical and emotional. Unfortunately 90 minuets truly isn't enough for 'character development' but I don't think it actually hinders the plot or anything much since the only character really being developed here is Hitomi in her fight against depression.
