Escaflowne the Series

This wonderful series just grabbed my attention when I first laid my eyes on it. The story revolved on the girl named Hitomi Kanzaki, an athlete who has the power of predicting the future with the help of her unnatural instinct and her mysterious pendant. The story collides when Van, prince of Fanelia which suddenly appears in Hitomi's time on his capture of a dragon. He accidentally takes Hitomi with him during his return to his mystic land Fanelia. From then on the cast of characters begin to widen, as a whole new set of characters get to interlude with the story. She begins to discover the power she possess with her pendant. What makes the story more interesting is the set of character involvement which makes the story more likeable. Just like the love triangle between the chivalric knight Allen and Van with Hitomi. And the intriguing involvement of Princess Millerna who is in love with Allen. Each of the characters add light to the story. Even the antagonists of the series make an impact to the storyline. The antagonist becomes the older brother of Van named Folken. And another is Dilandau, one of the most disturbing antagonists of the anime. Escaflowne the series holds a sense of originality in both art and story and a dark mysterious environment that definitely draws you into it. Escaflowne the series is truly a must among anime lovers.
