Product Description
Additional Features
The "Extras" disc includes brief interviews with director Kazuki Akane, composer Yoko Kanno, voice actress/singer Maaya Sakamoto, English voice actress Kelly Sheridan (Hitomi), and three of the film's producers. Most of the subjects limit their remarks to "we tried to do our best, we hope you like the film." But one really spontaneous moment occurs when Kanno turns to Akane and tells the interviewer, "He's an inarticulate person; he puts into the project whatever he does not say face-to-face in real life." The footage of the first U.S. screening at the 2000 Anime Expo in Anaheim, California, and of a Korean/Japanese preview in Fukoka is awkwardly shot. On the CD of Kanno's eclectic score, the Carmina Burana-esque theme song from the TV series occurs near the end as "Dance of Curse II." This nicely packaged set is for hard-core Escaflowne fans, rather than general viewers. --Charles Solomon

Gold + Gold = ....,
This review is from: Escaflowne - The Movie (Anime Legend Edition) (DVD)
No, the title is correct. How somebody could go wrong mixing the character and story from the Escaflwone TV series with award winning animators is simply beyond me.The movie is pretty terrible, really. Extremely rushed with little plot explanation, and seemingly no direction for a good 30 minutes worth. The only saving graces of this "Ultimate" Edition are the art box, booklet, and Yoko Kanno OST included in it. If you pick this up just for those, you could probably toss the actual film and the extras disc and be happy enough.

Pretty good,
By Jes (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Escaflowne - The Movie (Anime Legend Edition) (DVD)
I think the movie is a pretty good condensed version of the anime series. True, it doesn't touch so much on the supporting characters, but it keeps to the main story line. You can watch and follow the movie without having seen the original anime series (I do recommend you watch the series, i.e., the unedited version of 26 episodes). The anime art and music is exquisite.

Not as good as series,
By A Customer
This review is from: Escaflowne Movie (DVD)
I have to say, this movie is a great movie, but don't expect it to be like the series. I was a little dissapointed in how it lacked in details about the actual characters. There was more focus on themes of war and hatred. I myself liked how the series provided more details about the dynamics between the characters and emphasized their personalities. Overall, not a bad movie, but no comparison to the series!
