----------------------------------------
"The Lost Paradise"

- Hitomi and Merle successfully revive Van.
- Another vision. Looks funny seeing Hitomi sprint while everyone else walks & she can't gain any ground on them.
- I see some interesting similarities b/w this series and InuYasha. More specifically b/w Hitomi and Kagome. Both are magical girls who come from another world. Both women have special powers. Powerful ones. And both girls are the key to saving their respective cursed hero.
- Balgus taught Allen?
- Hitomi chooses Allen? Not really.
- Merle saves Van from the Cat girls. His fear took hold and they obviously could've finished him off at the given opportunity.

Most of the time I'm falling. But yes, I have. And it still looks funny.

Amano sempai, go!
Hitomi and Allen probaly as Millerna said, are not a fitting couple, but neither are Hitomi&Van...

Well, Merle have been useful in that episode! She twice saved Van!
It's true that Allen and Hitomi doesn't really fits together, even if I LOVE those 2 caracters. Looking foward a developpment between her and Van...

(rewatching again)

This anime has gone to the cats.

Hitomi isn't even sure she's just worried about Van. Her crush on Allen has been obvious since episode 3.

Well there obviously isn't any competition for Allen and Van between Hitomi, Merle, and Millerna...

More cat people come, I wonder if they know Merle.

I've heard the second half of this series is very bloated due to a final episode count lower than originally expected. I think we're starting to see that.

Sadly the romance didn't do anything for me so far.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Hitomi's advice lmao not the best, I must say.

Merle is sure about her feelings, and so is the princess. Hitomi is the only one who hasn't figure it out yet (I bet on Van lol poor Merle though).

Both Hitomi and Millerna are very useful in the series. Merle, too for being able wake up both Hitomi and Van.

Interesting to see Allen's backstory with Balgus.

The scene with Millerna and Hitomi...lmao Hitomi's radical solutions.

Falken has to be one step ahead of his bro and have 2 catgirls instead of just 1.

Hitomi crossing to the land of the dead (again). She's pretty fearless.

Well done Merle bringing Hitomi and Van back.

Dilandau has some major problems going on.

I thought Millerna going to Hitomi for that advice was so funny. Then Merle gets involved. There's a massive war going on but let's talk about our crushes.

And go Merle saving Van yet again.

SO....what the cat womans would do? waiting?
I think hitomi would be more attracted to van in the future because...u know...TWO GUYS TO CHOOSE IS BETTER THAN ONE, EH?, EH? 7u7

Van. Van-sama! Allen. Hitomi! Hitomi...Merle? Merle! MERLE! Van-sama! Hitomi. Lord Falken. Allen. Dryen? Dryden... Dryden? Van! Millernaaaaa! Millerna. Merle.

This show has always been insanely annoying about character names being substitutes for actual dialogue but I'm finally at my breaking point about it. Characters will literally just say each other's names back and forth for 45 seconds instead of saying any actual words. Merle (being voiced by Pikachu) basically cannot end a single interaction without saying Van's name at least twice like a literal Pokemon.

In actual episode discussion, Van taking damage while in Escaflowne seems insanely bad. It's not like that's balanced with it being exceptionally powerful or anything. It seems to only be good because the protagonist pilots it. The transformation is unique but doesn't offer anything particular since other Guymelefs can fly too. It has no ranged attacks and its not fast or durable. Why is it special other than the plot demands that it be?
