My opinion is that you should use a bit more punctuation. Another period, perhaps even a comma. :lol:

As for Escaflowne I thought it was an excelent show. I was able to watch it on YTV when it first came out. FOX really shot themselves in the foot when they stopped airing it in the US. (But then they tent to do that anyways... Dang you FOX! I want Slayers!)

The ending was good. Really brought all of the diffrient story threads together for a fairly clean ending... unless you count all of the blood, then it isn't really clean at all. :wink:

*SPOILERS!*
You knew the Hitome was going to have to go back to Earth at the end of the series. It just has to be that way. Sort of maintains the balance, since she doesn't belong there and all of that.

one: i admit i should use better grmaer when typeing.

two: hitome could have stayed on it's not like her staying was a bad thing. the only thing she would have missed on earth was her friends and family on gia (not shure how to actualy spell it) she has the love of her life and frineds why give that up for lonelyness save for the conforts of different friends.

on a slightly different note *warning spoilers ahead* is just me or is it messed up that Dilandow (i'm pretty shure i messed the spelling of that name up)is Alens sister. what about the fact that Isac Newton is Dornkurk(most likely another misspelled name, i don't like english it's has to many rules that conflict probly why i didn't do that well in school ...... the bad part is it's my first langue)

My goodness-- you should be shot for your grammar and spelling! Why I haven't seen anything this bad since I saw a guild of 8 year olds on UO some 6 years ago from Korea trying to speak English that they had just started learning... Please... please tell me you are 8 years old... you already said English is your first language-- please tell me you were struck on the head recently and had to relearn it...

Its GRAMMAR and TYPING
it is spelled GAIA
Possible spoilers ahead
His name is Dilandau(Dirandu in Japanese i believe), he is actually Celena (Serena in Japanese), sister of Allen (that's right- 2 L's). Dornkirk is Isaac Newton (2 A's in Isaac-- you really could have taken 5 seconds to google that you know...) - is that really that strange? No not really... you should be more worried about the fact that he built a machine that makes wishes come true...

Overall Escaflowne rocks-- its a great anime-- and Fox canceled it because they realized-- it's way too deep for little kids! It's more than just a "Giant Robot" anime...

Yes, there's quite a bit of drama. Fox thought it was a little too adult in that aspect for kids to understand and took the assumption they didn't need such good entertainment and cancelled it. >.<

I really hate when that happens, whenever an anime gets a good plot going and actually becomes interessing. They cancel it. >.<

this is why transformers and pokemon won't die!!! Because they is absolutely no complex at all. Just mindless fighting robots and "team rocket blasting off again" argh it's so hard to find good anime on day time t.v. these days...

Anyway i have seen this anime before but all i can remember off it was the way of mechs look, and that white haired guy... so can't really say much of it; except just remembering a brief plot line from it...... It was too long ago -_-;; ............... Meh I'll just say it was good enough to enjoy watching again.

well seeing as he would have been a few hundred years old by that time and haveing devoted his life to it nope don't suprise me at all his goal was to recreat the machine that destroyed atlantais (don't want to hear about the spelling on that one).

no i'm 23 and don't have heavy use for grammer in a dayly setting, besides speaking. i believe i've already said i hate english becuase it has so many conflicting rules in spelling and grammer. i usually don't post that much save for a quick sentence and normally have what i'm posting right infront of me or know how to spell something. i try to use other words that mean the same thing (another thing i hate about english have two words mean the same thing in a sertain context or the words that read the same but spelling can be done 3 different ways). if life were fair every thing would be spelt like it sounds

That is an very sad story... you complain about your first language because you never took the time to learn it even though it is a requirement for school from grades 1-12... and a requirement for nearly 80% of all (legal) jobs in America... you still managed to miss the fact that online your ability to type reflects who you are because there is nothing else to go on. A total lack of decent grammar and spelling is worse than "l33t". And speaking in short sentences is most often considered spam... the Internet is not your friend.

Mehehehehehe... Anyways, Vision of Escaflowne pwned. Luckily YTV (Here in Canada we got Young TV, for kids ya know) had aired it all. :D That was a few years ago, so I've forgotten alot of the char names/events. D: I gotta redl it when I have the space on my computer.

RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!

The DVD Box set for the series costs about $125 CDN at Futureshop... owie.

Closer to $200 if you get the one with the black Escaflowne statue.

kinda late i know but i liked the movie way better, much more gore, much less evil robot fighting, i only saw the series for the very short time it aired on fox(i think) in the 90's though and it had to have been edited severly so what do i know.
