Trivia
The movie was a darker, action-packed, very abbreviated version of the series, and a great many changes were made from the original.

Quotes
Hitomi Kanzaki (FUNimation dub): There's no sorrow that doesn't fade away with time. That's what I want to believe, at least.

Poor effort

Several things bothered me while watching this film. One of the first thing i noticed was the animation - the faces on the characters were horridly drawn, making it hard for facial expressions to appear believable. The animation in itself was fine, however the way the people were drawn was distracting. Secondly, the plot was disorganized and scattered; making the film hard to follow for even fans of the Escaflowne TV series. The closing doesn't redeem much of the films' weak points - I wouldn't recommend this for those new to Escaflowne or those who are fans. It would be disappointing either way.
