| "Vision of Escalflowne" does not fit into any particular genre. It consist a little bit of RPG, mecha, and fantasy. Neither can it fit into either Shojo or Shounen, but I think its main theme is "fate". Nevertheless, it is a very good animation with excellent background music. The type of music found in VoE also varied, there are classical, opera, and J-pop. The only down side would probably be the way characters are drawn. ("Ew, their noses!!") But, I don't have any problems with it once I started watching it though.....below is a brief summary of the first episode. |
| Summary of first episode Hitomi is an ordinary athletic high school girl. If there were anything extraordinary about her, it would be her striking accuracy in Tarot card reading. In the first episode, Hitomi's best friend, Yukari, tells her the boy, Amano, she secretly admired is leaving for overseas. Yukari persuade Hitomi to confess her feelings to him. That night, Hitomi did a Tarot card reading on herself. The card of remote Island and the card of Courage appeared. She thought it indicated that somebody is going to a far away place, and she need to have courage. After that, Hitomi decided to confess to Amano.
