I'm pissed that they even showed it, cut to shreds and with that incredibly lame dubbing. Same thing with Tenchi Muyo... sorry Justice, but anime and American kidvid just don't mix.

Oh yah, but ya gotta give 'em credit for trying! Besides... it's being released in unedited form as we speak... they already have the first tape out with the first few episodes. Too bad my wallet is so skinny, or I woulda bought it yesterday... I was at Suncoast in the mall, totally broke, drooling over that videocasette...

Well, you do know that they pulled Escaflowne for crappy nascar racers, right? Those idiots at Fox are gonna pay. How? Letterss. Write a whole bunch of frikin letters and demand Escflowne be returned. The streets will flow with the blood of the nonbelivers!!!

*nodnodnod* Yeppers... I wonder... how many miles down did their ratings go when they pulled Escaflowne?

-- Anonymous, November 18, 2000

500 miles and they will fall 500 more just to be the network whose ratings fell 1000 miles to plese the five year old demographic!!

I can still watch it(once a week) thanks to the fact that I'm Canadian, and the fact that YTV doesn't have taste as crappy as those idiots at Fox Kids. It's a good series, I think it's on eppisode....12 or something. I dunno. Fox kids might put it back on in the new year though, I think they are idiots, not letting even a third of the series be shown before canceling it. I wish that they haden't canceled Flint the time detective too, Fox Kids Sucks!!!!!! *grabs a flamethrower and runs of to torch the idiots that canceled Escaflowne* MOREO!!! BUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

Death to fox kids.fox messes everything up. first power rangers has been going for who knows how many years.Second this isnt the first time they have pulled good shows. And why in the miss guided world did they put nascar racers back on. that show was gay its first season and they give it a second season. i loved escaflowne. after the first 3 episodes i was hooked. also was it just me our was that opening song awesome. plus unlike most fox kids shows this had a little blood.plus it showed part of hitomi bra. I cant believe i am saying this but i wish i lived in canada. YTV or whatever isnt as gay foxkids. by the way besides voilence what else was so bad about the japanese virsion and was it a kids show? alot of people may disagree but from what i read on the internet i think some of foxes changes were good.

Escaflowne was such an excellent show. It had such excellent fighting features and I was hooked onto it from the first show. They had to bring back that Nascar Racer crap. I'm glad they still have it on Y.T.V. Go Canada!

-- Anonymous, February 26, 2001

I was also impressed by it. It's so cool and I'm very glad that I can see it on ytv, but I heard that the producer will discontinue the home video :( Do anybody know if it's true????!

I had the luck of watching the entire thing at my school's anime club showing. (That's before Bandi decided that they were gonna go into the US market, and stopped all Fan-sub materials). Its pretty good... a few of the later ones feels like its running out of the steam, but good show.

Hmm from what I understand I think I know why Escaflowne was pulled. I didn't see it so I'm luckily not going through withdrawal symptoms. I remember some saying it showed 'Hitomi's bra'. That's probably it right there. Some irate PTA mothers probably saw it with their children of heard about from them and wrote angry letters to Fox. In order to keep the general public(not us anime fans) happy they pulled. So see we can thank little children and American ethics for this. This is why I don't like America. Other people think I'm crazy for disliking the good ol' US of A but I would like to know what our ethics have gotten us? School shootings apparently? No. I believe that in fact the people that would shoot others are just plain mentally disturbed. It has nothing to do with violent video games and anime. Now see!!! This thing on Escaflowne getting pulled got me on a ramble about American ethics. Oh yeah and another thing. People always say porn is bad and children get punished for purposefully looking at it(which they should) but if everyone believes Doom and Resident Evil are what is starting school shootings then shouldn't children who play those games be punished more harshly? Let's get our priorities in line America or better yet let's stop the hypocracy.

I realy like the series Escaflowne. But I brought the whole thing subtidled on tape. I watched one of the episodes on tv and did not like whta they did to it. If I was you I would just buy it on tape, I mean its only eight tapes.

*tries to get the 'DISGUSTING' taste of the pumpkin cookie out of mouth* EscaFlowne? I say, it's... er..... GOOD!!!*returns to washing mouth*

-- Anonymous, April 06, 2001

Escaflowne is the best. I saw it on subtilled computer CD's. FOx is stupid, but I can understand why it was pulled. There is a lot of blood in it. Me? I say the more blood the better. And there is a kissing sceen between Allen asd Hitomi. Anyway, as some of you may no dought have nothiced, episode one was never shown. It went from 2-9. In episode 1, Van has to go to Earth to fight a earth dragon in order to become king. He gets knocked down by the dragon adn coughs up blood, then later, he kills the dragon which spurts green blood everyewhere. It must have been hard to edit the first one so they never showned it. The later episodes get violent so maybe they got lazy. But if that is true, then they never sould have shown it in the first pace. I like the american version translations better in one of the episods also. And did you know they never translated the cus words? Why? All the kids in Elemntrey school. I don't see the big deal. Grown up for christs sake. Any christains that have a problem with that line? Get a life too. Want to know how it ended? Then mail me and I'll tell you.

All of the kids in Elementry school know bad cus words. Ask a kid, "Bet I'm a better cusser than you." I worned you.

what's with fucking anime? anime SUCKS!!!

-- Anonymous, May 21, 2001

Hey for a start Anime is the best and anyone who doesnt like it is obviously so far inbred they have no taste at all. But on to my point I loved Escaflowne and watched it fan-subbed ages before its fox kids release when i heard it was coming out i was annoyed bout the editing but thought it would be cool to watch a dubbed version of the series . It was actually cut quite well considering but then they canned it not even a 3rd through the series!!! Jesus if your not gonna show the whole thing dont show it at all. I started a chain letter on the net for a template letter complaining about the cancellation in the end 1000+ of these were sent !!! and i even got a letter from fox telling me to stop it hehe. Well OK all you peeps who are suffering from withdrawl ready to jump from the nearest balcony there is another way just download the series of the net like i did It may be hard to find and on less than a cable modem a little slow but march forth my friends and watch all 26 episodes of the glorious anime series which is ESCAFLOWNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-)

Hi, this might cheer you up. I know where you download, full, uncut Escaflowne episode. But the only problem is that it's in Japanese, but don't worry, it have English subtitles at the bottom.

I feel bad for you guys. In Britain we saw it all, but in the UK we get all the old stuff and they're so damn choosy about what and when they show, i mean we only jus got transformers RiD and you've had it over there for nearly a year, but we get stuff like Medabots and Digimon tamers only 1 or 2 months after it's shown (i know this cos i was in america at august '01 and i saw Medabots and a promo for transformers). Escaflowne's good but i haven't seen all the episodes but the last episode is kinda sad. Also does Fox kids have its own seperate channel like over here or is it just shown at certain times on the Fox network?

oh hell yeah!! of course I'm pissed off. that was like my favorite anime and they...UGH!!!

Holy hell, more of my ancient Justice posts.

Anyways, I finally watched the entire Escaflowne series, un-edited. My friend Sarah bought the whole thing. I loved it... loved it... LOVED it. Folcan is just TOO FLIPPIN' COOL! Anyways... my only problem with the series is that the ending so royally sucked ass I don't even feel like watching it again. No, I'm not gonna give away details, but... is anyone else upset about the shitty ending?

escaflowne...it pretty good for a tv show, not bad

ps who the fuck is the dude with long blonde hair? my girlfriend wants to know

-- Anonymous, June 13, 2002


The longhaired blonde would be Alan Shazar, a knight of Esturia. He's voiced in the English dubbed version by my all time favorite voice talent, Brian A. Drummond... it was why I originally watched the show, just to hear Drummond's voice. I love his voice!!! He's been in a LOT of things.

You are all seriously messed up. DOn't get me wrong, I hate fox kids and like anime as much as the next, but bitching won't help. Why don'y you stop wasting time bitching and make a damn anime site that you can downloads mp3's from. Hmm?

the frist anime i ever seen was Escaflowne on Fox. My younger brother loves it. But when they took it off air. I damn Fox forever from my TV. So I went out and bought the Unlimited Movie Box Set, and I have all the 8 Vol. of the visions of Escaflowne. Now, let someone try and take it off the air at my house. There will be holy hell to pay!!! Escaflowne is # 1 in all Anime, well in my book.

OMG! There's too many responses! I don't think anyone's going to find mine! I downloaded episodes 3 and 4 on Kazza! It was in Jap, but I don't care! Well, I had the eps until my brother moved with the computer! Now I'm BUYING them, and I'm only 14 getting one dollar a year! I'll be 98 by the time I get the rest of the series! Also Note: I heard the movie sucks! If you seen the seris don't watch the movie, if you seen the movie don't watch the series. The mole guy reads the future and Hitomi wants to commit suicide! What the heck!??! Well, just get the eps on Kazza. Easy to get with cable, because just leave the computer alone for a few days! Hehe, for those with phonelines... just keep pasuing the download until you keep getting on. With my new computer I'm getting the music video of Escaflowne with Megadeath Sweating Bullets (By pausing)! This is too long so bye!

From the very 1st episode of VOF I've been like so darn obsessed with it, especially ALLEN! Now that's what I call a Knight in shining armor...drool...slurp...drool. Geez, do I love his hair! the songs of this series are great, really great. So if anyone of you is kind enough to tell me where to download their songs, please do tell me. ***BIG PUPPY EYES*** oh yeah i also hate the ending part, but still there must be a good reason why it happened. Don't you think so?

Actually I was more anoyed than anything but the true reason it got pulled was because of ratings. Escaflowne did not bring the ratings Fox Kids hoped for. Toonami was trying to buy the airing rights from Fox Kids or something like that to be able and show it but that was a few months ago so I don't think that will actually happen. Well that is the whole truth on why Escaflowne actually got pulled and how Toonami was trying to show it.

-- Anonymous, December 23, 2002

It's unbelievable that they're not airing the series; it's so good! One of my favorite anime. I'm thinking about buying the episodes, anyone know where to find them? Is it possible to download them off the net? If anyone knows I'd appreciate it if you would e-mail me.

Yeah Foxkids and Escalowne soooooooooooooo don't mix. Those f'd up bastad, i have to watch the same episodes over and over again. Does anyone know where to buy the actual movies or download good episodes email me. Oh yeahh anime(in general) and foxkids really don't mix. And all those who think that Escaflowne and Anime suck can go to faking hell.
