| Hitomi is depressed. So depressed that she sleeps all the time, even in class. Friends try to cheer her up, but nothing works. Hitomi dreams of fading away. Then one day, her wish is answered when a mysterious kindred spirit from another world appears, telling her that she is "the wing goddess," and whisking her away to the fantastical land of Gaia. There she meets the handsome young King Van and learns that she alone has the power to summon Escaflowne - a warrior/protector that can end the fierce conflict that has been raging between the forces of light and dark... |

Editor's Note
Imagine a story about gigantic fighting robots mixed with Teutonic chivalry, teenage angst, and tarot cards: that is the world of ESCAFLOWNE, a highly successful animated series that has been transformed into a stunning feature-length film. A more adult version of the animé, the film ESCAFLOWNE: A GIRL IN GAEA retells the events of the television series in a drastically different manner; no previous knowledge of the series is necessary. The story follows Hitomi, a dissatisfied teenager who is suddenly transported to Gaea. There, Van and his brother Folken fight for control of dragon armor, the most powerful mecha in the land; only one will emerge from the conflict alive. The motion-picture format is perfect for portraying the ethereal vistas of Gaea, floating airships, and the larger-than-life combat between the dragon armors. All of the series' main characters, plus a few new characters, make appearances, though the film's length forces the director to focus on Folken, Hitomi, and Van. Most of the personnel from the series worked on the film, including the popular composers Yoko Kanno and Hajime Mizoguchi, who deliver a beautiful, mystical score.
