Hitomi Kanzaki, is an average Japanese High School Girl you'd expect to know. She lives through her daily life as a teenager including: fortune telling, the track team, admiring guys, and talking to friends. But on one night, she was transported from her world to Gaee, a magical World where the Earth is viewable from the sky.
There she's met by Van Fanel, who is a dragon slaying princess of his own kingdom and owner of the legendary Escaflowne. A giant machine made for combat and defense. As the countries of Gaee is against the ominous Zaibach empire. Hitome soon accompanies Van Fanel and many other characters on a quest to restore the balance of peace in Gaee and eliminate the Zaiback. During the journey, Hitomi discovers that her fortune telling and six sense becomes an aide to everyone. And learns a bit about Gaee's history, and the past of the characters who surround her.
Escaflowne is filled with Action, Suspense, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Adventure, Romance, and Drama. I didn't see this series till mid 2005. And in my opinion, I think it's good for it's own genre. The use of 2-D Animation & small use of CGI makes this anime visual for only 10 years old. That and the cool thing about it is it's was made by Sunrise Earth, which later did the notorious Cowboy Bebop series.
I read it wasn't well received on American TV media, but least it became a worthy classic to average anime fans alike. It's worth looking into if you like Fighting Robot/Fantasy/Heroine related Animes.
