What are your thoughts on Escaflowne, Sup Forums?

If only it wasn't a shoujo. It would've been a masterpiece if not for the dumb whore MC and forced romance "drama" bullshit. Instead it's a 7/10 at best.

But it wasn't a shoujo.

Satan pls, Hitomi is a miracle of the universe.

It wasnt a pureblood shoujo for sure but it definitely contained a LOT of shoujo tropes.

Great start to a thread, satan.

But it was. There was a shonen manga and a shojo manga.

My husbando turned out to be a woman. And not just that, he didn't even exist in the first place.
I never felt so betrayed by a piece of fiction in my life.

All in the span of 1 (one) episode. If not for her stupid bullshit Escaflowne could be shortened to a 6 episode OVA and it would have been glorious.

The shoujo stuff was delicious until Van went full spaghetti.

>Hitomi behaves like a actual 15 years old girl
You need to get out of the basement son.

>>Hitomi behaves like a actual 15 years old girl
>implying that's a good thing
The mecha battles were wasted on this show

I didn't behave like that when I pretended to be a 15 year old girl on the internet.

>implying that's a good thing
It is.

That's because you can't know how an actual 15 years old girl behaves when you're stuck in the basement.

This show would have been way better with Dilandeau as the MC. He was the only reason I was even watching.

>he

Demographics don't apply backwards like that, though. Anime originals are always demographicless, regardless of their manga adaptations.

>having Sidonia's Yuhata as your waifu

The antagonists were much more likable than the main cast, that is true. Both Folken and Dilandau would be far better MCs than Hitomi.

...

The movie is the only canon end for me.

Fucking Vash's look-alike

Don't use emoticons on Sup Forums.

Ironic use is allowed :^)

are you new or are you just trolling me, I wonder

No, I'm quite serious.

I'm not sure what exactly you're implying, but the use of that image tells me enough. Kill yourself.

summer's here

>show practically without fanservice, appealing to both female and male audiences
>realistic MC that isn't a walking trope existing only in minds of drooling otaku idiots
>done back when they still tried and it shows

If Japan appreciated shows like this one, the industry wouldn't be a rotting piece of paedophile pandering shit it has became.

>>MC that isn't a walking trope existing only in minds of drooling otaku idiots
Instead we got a fucking Disney heroine
Don't know which is worse desu

9/10(good story,good music) drawing its intresting,but the animation is not bad

Most anime would be so much better if it actually did look like Sailor Moon.

Not even Sailor Moon looks like Sailor Moon nowadays.

If by "most" you mean moeshit and CGI fuckfests then I agree wholeheartedly

I want to bully this damegami.

>show practically without fanservice
never got animated

Fuck everything.

A fucking Disney heroine would have become a man's bitch by the end of the show.

I really enjoyed episodes 3 to 14 or something like that, but the whole buildup to the end really didn't do it for me. I wish it had just been about the various countries at war instead of "smart" monologues about determinism and choice.
Was still worth it for the cool mech designs and animation, but overall I agree that it's like a 6 or 7 out of ten.

Allen a shit and his sister is a snail eating retard boy.

There was a scene where the maids in Asturia give Hitomi a bath. Guess which scene got axed from that episode?

The DVD remaster and BR has the deleted scenes though.

What an ugly upscale.
I blame phonefags.

Congratulations on finding one of the three porny Escaflowne doujins in existence. Not counting female-drawn shipper erotica.

That's the result of creators not sexualizing their characters senpai.

And yet the only things of worth to come from it were the mechs and the music, fuck every character in this damned show.

Honestly I felt that the show lost it during episodes 19 to 23, especially 23 which seems to be take so many shortcuts to set the stage for the finale.

>I wish it had just been about the various countries at war
It never really was about that to begin with. Which makes me think that we'll never have a good Guin Saga adaptation, or sequel, or translations.
