For any Escaflowne fan, this film is a must-see. The charm that the Escaflowne series had has not been lost and is brought to life again in this feature length film.
Characters are drawn beautifully, and in more detail - some looking completely different (millerna seems to have undergone a full makeover and is now unrecognisable), the music is as awe-inspiring as it was in the series, the animation is much smoother, but the storyline has changed drastically - though it is still told wonderfully.
I have to say that as a fan of the series romance between Van and Hitomi, I was fairly disappointed with the lack of it in the film - Though don't get me wrong, you can still sense something between them.
This film is one of the best anime films I've seen, and if you like anime you can really get into and understand then this is the one for you (though I recommend watching the series before if you can).
Any fan of anime has to watch this, it's truly beautiful.
