"Escaflowne of the Heavens", also called "Vision of Escaflowne"

A 26-episode anime series running from April until September 1996, with official art done by [[Yuuki Nobuteru]]. Escaflowne is a fantasy-based story that contains both shoujo and shounen storytelling aspects due to different directors handling the anime. Imagawa Yasuhiro tried to give it a more shounen feel prior to leaving, then Akane Kazuki took over and gave it more shoujo elements.

There is also a 90-minute film retelling the anime called [i][[Escaflowne (movie)|Escaflowne - A Girl in Gaea]][/i], but with vastly different character personalities. Both [[kanzaki hitomi|Hitomi]] and [[van fanel|Van]] are more depressed and emotional than their anime counterparts.
