ESCAFLOWNE: A GIRL IN GAIA
| Summary | Hitomi is a girl from Earth who reads Tarot, who gets taken away by a boy with angels' wings. There, she learns of a group of people whose aim is to get rid of evil by destroying and rebuilding the world. Parts of the movie are different from the TV series. Genre: mecha. |
| Plot | A good plot, but it happens very quickly since it's in one movie instead of an entire series. |
| Characters | The characters are all very real and as well developed as they can be in such a short time. |
| Humor | Humor definitely isn't the focus of Escaflowne, but it is present. |
| Animation | The movie is prettier than the series. |
| Music | Words in BGMs leads to weird, un-background-y BGMs. Otherwise, the BGMs were fitting. |
| Japanese voices and subtitles | The voices themselves were good, and so were the subtitled. |
| Dubbed voices | I didn't watch this dubbed. |
| Bishounen factor | The guys are uglier than in the series. |
| Cutesy factor | Merle's absolutely adorable! |
| Notes | A good retelling of the TV series. |
