Sir Haggis said:The Vision of Escaflowne is an excellent series, combining fantasy, mecha, romance and everything inbetween. A great cast, giant medieval robots, an excellent story, wonderful music... it's got pretty much everything going for it. It's highly recommended by pretty much everyone that's seen it, and is one of my all-time favourites.
Ha, ha, i know where your coming from, he, he, i am clearly just as shallow, but everyone knew that already :lol: .Miaka-chan said:I love Escaflowne too (although it has a lot to do with Van Fanel - I'm so shallow :lol: ).

I'm the same actually (well, I'm not sure I'd use the word sexy), I saw the old mangled FoxKids version enough that the voices just sort of stuck. It's not the most god-awful dub ever devised, so give it a shot, it may just grow on ya.Charter_Mage said:Though i've watched the first half of the series now in Japanese, and i guess it's because i've watched the dub so many times in the past that i still prefer it, guess i'm probably the only one, but i find Van and Allen so much more sexy with the dub
I find Tomokazu Seki a much sexier VA for Van and I can't stand Vegeta's voice coming out of Allen's mouth :cry:Charter_Mage said:Ha, ha, i know where your coming from, he, he, i am clearly just as shallow, but everyone knew that already :lol: .Miaka-chan said:I love Escaflowne too (although it has a lot to do with Van Fanel - I'm so shallow :lol: ).

You see thats probably why i don't mind it so much, since i watched Escaflowne long before i did DBZ, so when i first watched DBZ it was always "Hay that Goku has Van's voice from Escaflowne" not the other way around.Miaka-chan said:I find Tomokazu Seki a much sexier VA for Van and I can't stand Vegeta's voice coming out of Allen's mouth :cry:
It probably would have been better to have heard them all in Escaflowne before DBZ (like hearing Eric Stuart as Gourry from Slayers before hearing him as Brock in Pokemon :lol: ).
