I haven't ever seen Escaflowne.
Do you think, this anime is worth to see?
Neon Genesis Evangelion. The best anime, what I've ever seen. Great characters like Rei, Gendou, Shinji, Asuka. Moreover, the analysis of human psyches stand at the highest level. More, symbols are used in a perfect way, thankks to this, the climate of NGE is interessing and mysterious. Futhermore, humour has used in sensible dose. In other words, classics going beyond the range of genre.
P.S.
I don't want to boast, but you can find my review of this anime in some board.
After the see of Escaflowne, I would try to write more about it.
