Synopsis

Hitomi Kanzaki is in a very depressed mood. She only wants to sleep and fade away. Her misery summons Lord Folken who sends her to Gaea. The people of Gaea think she is the Wing Goddess, who can call upon the legendary Dragon Armor called Escaflowne. On Gaea, King Van, the sole survior of the White Dragon Clan, is also in a depressed state. Swearing an oath to get his revenge on the Black Dragon Clan that obliterated Van's kingdom, he lives by the sword. Now that the Wing Goddess has finally appeared, she posseses Gaea's world fate in her heart. Escaflowne will either lead Gaea to peace or total ruin.

6.75/10 ~ Nice little standalone piece

I just finished re-watching Visions of Escaflowne (the TV series) for the first time since I was a child, at the conclusion I realized when I went to leave a review that there was a title under "related" that I imagine most people never use. I then realized there was a movie related to the series and here I am.

I discovered this series from a clip on YouTube that's taken from the movie. The style was so unique that it picked my interest.

After watching some of the series, I decided to watch this movie and got disappointed.

Well the only conclusion I can draw out of this case study is…. you don’t.

The Escaflowne movie ...
