Here's a brief summary I wrote...hope it'll help if you haven't seen the series before...of course this would be a big-spoiler since you'll know the plot and stuff by the time you actually watch it!
Tenkuu no Escaflowne(TV)
It all starts when a young man from another planet suddenluy transports to Earth through a blue light caused by, later as we find out, the pendant Hitomi is given by her grandmother. After the boy, Future king of Fanelia, slays a dragon, both him and Hitomi gets transported back to his world, Gaea.
There Hitomi meets up with several characters, including the "so-called" handsome knight (haha..ver funny) Allen Shcezar, whom Hitomi lusts over since he looked so much like Captain Amano back on Earth.
Of course, we learn that there's a war going on, starting from Fanelia's destruction to Van wanting to kill the Zaibach's leader, Folken, who was supposed to be the king but ran away long ago when he failed to saly a dragon. Anyways, we learn that Gaea is actually created by the Draconians (did I mention that Van was half Draconian?), who lived long ago in the very edge of the Earth and got destroyed from their over-confidence. They built Gaea so that there would be a world where there would be everlasting peace and that their mistakes won't happen again. Unfortunately, it was disrupted by Hitomi's arrival since her feelings were confused and she didn't know what she wanted. When finally she admits her feelings for Van, not that "so-called" pimp Allen, Dorkink's machine is broken and Van and Hitomi embrace. Though she ahd to leave, they promised each other they would always think of each other.
