I am always, always going to love The Vision of Escaflowne. My god, it was all the best parts of shoujo and mecha and fantasy all crammed into one and it was my goddamned jam. Allen Schezar is always going to be my Best Boy. Dilandau's always going to be my favorite psycho brat. Hitomi's such a good protag.

It's been a while since I rewatched it but I love that when weird shit goes down in the beginning, Hitomi is the one to figure out how to draw away the dragon from Van and act on it.

She has guts!

It happens a lot! She's clever and she sees things other people don't, and those who disbelieve her for being either a.) a young girl or b.) a "lunatic" going on about visions either change their tune and trust her, or get their comeuppance in really satisfying ways.

It made her depression and fear during her experiences later in the series so painful.

I remember some posts online complaining about it years ago, and it was like, she was experiencing war. You guys really have the idea you'd be able use the visions, manipulate everyone, and pick up a weapon and become the Terminator if you got dropped into her situation?

I loved that show and Hitomi was fantastic.

Aww, I loved Escaflowne. I remember first watching it on Fox Kids, but they pulled it after only a few episodes or something. After watching the entire thing in high school, it was clear why - definitely doesn't pass the "kid show" filters in the US. A great show though, I remember liking Hitomi, Vaan (sp?) and Dilandau a lot (that gender twist, I remember thinking it was so nuts.)

Yessssss. I love the OAV and the series, everyone is just amazing. The art is beautiful, and Dance of Curse will always be my jam.

I still don't understand or accept the ending, but I still love Escaflowne anyway.
