Here's the thing, Escaflowne is a fairly high quality show- grandios music, good animation, tense storyline, interesting characters and very good voice acting in Japanese. It's not that the dub is terrible or anything, it's just so resoundingly average, and since this is a show that many people consider to be well above average, it seems bad. Honestly, those people aren't necessarily wrong. I can listen to the dub without cringing or anything, but it is kind of dissapointing.

Yeah, old topic ...

I am currently watching this, and the files I watch (1080p) have audio 1 : Italian, audio 2 : Japanese.
So sometimes I forgot I "had to" switch the audio to second track, and then started watching it in Italian. It did not annoy me, so I continued those episodes in Italian, and now I am watching all episodes in Italian dub, with English sub. (v4 from subs.com.ru, I am starting to become seriously indebted to those Russian guys/girls - Спаси́бо.)

In my opinion, the Italian dub is good, I mean GOOD.
I do not really speak Italian, but I can understand enough to follow it whenever the subtitles have "drop-outs" for some moments (for unknown reasons it happens :( ) - and generally: it keeps me from looking at the subs all the time - which would be a shame to do with all the gorgeous art in Escaflowne.

I am at episode 10 now, and so far I wonder why its rating is relatively low, with MAL-ratings usually being so much on the high side.

Anyways, maybe some Italians could share what they think of the Italian dub ? Is it good to me only because I am not fluent in Italian ? Or is it really as good as it seems to me ?

Salve, snork.
