{"product_id":"escaflowne-dvd","title":"Escaflowne (TV) DVD","description":"\u003cp\u003eHitomi Kanzaki is a fifteen-year-old high school girl with a passion for running and a mysterious gift for tarot card readings. When a young swordsman named Van Fanel appears on her school's track field — mid-battle with a dragon — she is swept away with him to Gaea, a mystical world where Earth hangs visible in the sky above. Caught in the middle of a sweeping war against the ruthless Zaibach Empire and its army of invisible mech suits, Hitomi must rely on her visions to help Van master Escaflowne, an ancient and powerful guymelef armor, as they fight alongside the dashing knight Allen Schezar for the survival of kingdoms — and their own hearts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Vision of Escaflowne is one of the landmark anime series of the 1990s, a rare and ambitious fusion of shojo romance, high fantasy, and mecha action that refuses to fit neatly into any single genre. Created by Shoji Kawamori and directed by Kazuki Akane, the series is elevated by one of the most celebrated anime soundtracks ever composed — the sweeping, operatic score by Yoko Kanno and Hajime Mizoguchi that became iconic in its own right. With stunning world-building, emotionally complex characters, and a story built around fate, love, and the cost of war, Escaflowne remains a timeless masterpiece that captivated audiences worldwide and outsold Gundam on VHS in the United States upon its release. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotable Staff \u0026amp; Voice Talent\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Kazuki Akane (Noein, Heat Guy J)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCreator:\u003c\/b\u003e Shoji Kawamori (Macross, Arjuna)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharacter Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Nobuteru Yuki (Record of Lodoss War, X\/1999)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMechanical Design:\u003c\/b\u003e Kimitoshi Yamane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStudio:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunrise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMusic:\u003c\/b\u003e Yoko Kanno \u0026amp; Hajime Mizoguchi (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Porco Rosso) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCast:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Maaya Sakamoto as Hitomi Kanzaki\u003cbr\u003e• Tomokazu Seki as Van Fanel\u003cbr\u003e• Shin'ichiro Miki as Allen Schezar\u003cbr\u003e• Minami Takayama as Dilandau\u003cbr\u003e• Mayumi Iizuka as Millerna Aston \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDVD Features\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Clean Opening Animation\u003cbr\u003e• Clean Closing Animation\u003cbr\u003e• Escaflowne Music Video\u003cbr\u003e• \"Club Escaflowne\" Featurette\u003cbr\u003e• Original Trailers\u003cbr\u003e• Bandai Entertainment Previews \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpoken Languages:\u003c\/b\u003e English \u0026amp; Japanese Audio, English Subtitles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJapanese Title:\u003c\/b\u003e 天空のエスカフローネ (Tenkū no Esukafurōne)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/b\u003e ~625 Minutes (Complete Series, 26 Episodes)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Kazuki Akane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDVD Release Year:\u003c\/b\u003e 2000–2001 (U.S. Release)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal Release Date (Japan):\u003c\/b\u003e April 2 – September 24, 1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bandai Entertainment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRating:\u003c\/b\u003e 13+\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Region 1 (U.S. \/ Canada)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantasy, Mecha, Romance, Action\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThemes:\u003c\/b\u003e Fate \u0026amp; Divination, Isekai, War, Love Triangle, Ancient Civilizations \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedia assumed VG+ unless otherwise noted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Owned","offers":[{"title":"Complete Series (V1-8)","offer_id":42470361923669,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Complete Series - Limited Edition Boxset","offer_id":42663429177429,"sku":null,"price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V1 - Dragons and Destiny (EP 1-4)","offer_id":42470361661525,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V2 - Betrayal and Trust (EP 5-8)","offer_id":42470361694293,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V3 - Angels and Demons (EP 9-11)","offer_id":42470361727061,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V4 - Past and Present (EP12-14)","offer_id":42470361759829,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V5 - Paradise and Pain (EP 15-17)","offer_id":42470361792597,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V6 - Fate and Fortune (EP 18-20)","offer_id":42470361825365,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V7 - Light and Shadow (EP 21-23)","offer_id":42470361858133,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V8 - Forever and Ever (EP 24-26 END)","offer_id":42470361890901,"sku":null,"price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7673\/7365\/files\/7513226B-98D9-4C1E-8FB7-08C48C305B19.jpg?v=1781132503","url":"https:\/\/hifilofi.shop\/products\/escaflowne-dvd","provider":"HiFi LoFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
