When Hitomi Kanzaki, a high school student with a penchant for fortune telling and running, is suddenly transported to another world where the Earth hangs high in the sky, she knows she is no longer in Tokyo.
Hitomi finds herself on Gaia, a magical world which is about to go to war with the ominous Zaibach empire, whose ambitions to control the world put everyone in danger. As she meets boy prince Van Fanel, and joins him on his quest to unite the countries of Gaia she discovers new talents, creating new relationships and unravels the mysteries surrounding Van Fanel and the giant machine known as
...
Escaflowne.
Although it has been stereotyped as a mecha and possibly shounen anime due to the abudance of machines in the story, do not be thrown off ( because if the anime simply circulated around mecha then I definately wouldn't be writing this).
With it's brilliant and action-packed story line, you will see amazing designs and subtle art creating amazing backdrops, as you are entertained by this harem of delicious characters who draw out every emotion and pull at your heart strings
I would say that this is a definate 'Must see' for everyone.
Filled with action, romance and comedy Escaflowne is an anime not to be missed as it keeps you enthralled, keeping up with the twists and turns of the adventure that weave through the story as you follow Hitomi and Van on their journey to unite Gaia.
