Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Hitomi Kanzaki is an Ordinary High-School Student who reads tarot cards and runs on her school's track team. One day, just as she's about to earn her Sacred First Kiss from her senpai and crush, a dragon appears in a Pillar of Light, closely pursued by a young armored warrior. The warrior, Prince Van, rescues Hitomi and her friends from the dragon, and takes a power source for his Humongous Mecha from the heart of the dead dragon. Another Pillar of Light then appears, whisking Hitomi and Van away to his world, Gaea, where Earth itself hangs in the night sky...Once there, Hitomi and Van quickly become embroiled in a massive war. Van's kingdom of Fanelia is one of many at war with the sinister Zaibach Empire, whose Emperor Dornkirk seeks to use his probability-altering technology (and army of Schizo Tech Humongous Mecha known as "Guymelefs" — or "Melefs" for smaller mechas) to conquer Gaea and create a world without uncertainty. The best chance to turn the tide of the war is the mighty Guymelef, the eponymous Escaflowne... which is also the biggest source of uncertainty in Dornkirk's vision of the future.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A brainchild of Shoji Kawamori, Tenkuu no Escaflowne (lit. "Escaflowne of the Heavens") was conceived during a trip to Nepal and pitched as Air Cavalry Chronicles, basically "Macross with divination instead of love songs". It spent several years in Development Hell, during which a manga was published (based on pre-production materials and thus markedly different from the final product). The series was finally broadcast in Japan from April 2 to September 24, 1996. Two more mangas and a novelization were produced later, and the anime was licensed as The Vision of Escaflowne in the US. There was also a movie, Escaflowne, released in 2000, which greatly simplified the series' mythology and played up its mystical aspects.Curiously, Fox Kids aired the dub of the show around 2000, largely in response to the anime boom at the time. Of course since the show was not exactly kid friendly, it had to be edited a bit. It never fully finished, not even getting halfway before the TV broadcast was cancelled at 8 episodes for low ratings. The edited version played in full on YTV in Canada, with about 2 episodes worth of footage trimmed from the show.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Originally, the show and the movie were licensed by Bandai Entertainment and were dubbed in Vancouver by The Ocean Group. Thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, Funimation redubbed the series and the movie with a brand new Texas-based cast for their Blu-Ray releases in 2016.Compare and contrast with Aura Battler Dunbine, Magic Knight Rayearth, and Panzer World Galient, their predecessors in creating a Medieval European Fantasy setting and adding Humongous Mecha in the mix.

Villain: Exit, Stage Left: At the end of The Movie, Dilandau, who, while saner than his incarnation in the series, is still a vicious Psycho for Hire, who willingly assisted in the Big Bad's genocidal actions, just rides away with his remaining underlings, shrugging and saying that there will be more wars to fight.

Power at a Price
 The Vision of Escaflowne / int_1ebbdddb
comment
Played most straight with the "Intensified Luck Soldiers" Naria and Eriya, who get powered up with "lucky blood" which causes, among other things, weapons fired at them to bend off-course if not self destruct, swords swung at them to veer dramatically off to the side and flying mechs pursuing them to spontaneously power-off and drop out of the sky. Unfortunately for the two of them, that blood proves to be Power at a Price. Especially since Hitomi is inherently better at pulling that stunt.

Adaptational Villainy: In the movie, Folken is a psychotic Big Bad, while in the original series he was more of an Anti-Villain or a Dragon with an Agenda to the actual Big Bad, Emperor Dornkirk (who is absent from the movie altogether). In fact, in the series he eventually has a Heel–Face Turn.

Ironic Name
 The Vision of Escaflowne / int_23781532
comment
Dilandau's guymelef, Alseides, is named after the Alseids, the nymphs found in Greek mythology who live in the groves, springs of rivers, and in meadows — which possibly describes Selena's personality, seeing that Allen's flashback has her in a field and she was said to be gentle. It's also an Ironic Name given how it's used by Dilandau to burn cities and to try to impale Van.

Marilyn Maneuver: In the uncensored version of the episode, "The Girl From The Mystic Moon", the back of Hitomi's skirt is blown up slightly when the Escaflowne takes a step and she tugs on it from behind. Hitomi has another in "The Gallant Swordsman". When the spirit of The Death card comes to life and emerges out of it, swirling around Hitomi and the motion causes her skirt to flap around in the wind the spirit creates.

Synchronization: Van eventually establishes a connection with Escaflowne that makes him all but unstoppable in combat. Downside; After that point, any damage the mech takes is not only inflicted on his body, but will not heal until it is repaired! This is compounded by Escaflowne being Lost Technology that can only be repaired — at incredible cost - by a race of reclusive nomads.

Central Theme: Winds of Destiny, Change!. The Zaibach Empire has built a machine to see — and alter — the fate of human beings; their ultimate goal is to do this to the entire world, which they believe justifies their numerous atrocities. In turn, Hitomi isn't just a fortuneteller, she's also a fortunemaker — she can do everything the machine can do, and between her fortunetelling skills and Atlantean Clap Your Hands If You Believe pendant, she's strong enough to seriously screw with its ability to even see the futures. When she's close to Van, she does it without even thinking about it. And that's just when she's physically close to him; when she feels emotionally close to him, it's as if such a machine is being used against them. Unfortunately, until about halfway through the series, she isn't even aware she's doing this, and even afterwards doesn't realize the Prophetic Fallacy; she's the third wheel in two Love Triangles(Van/Merle, Allen/Millerna), and after Zaibach whammies her at Allen to decrease her power, she tries to whammy Millerna into an arranged marriage — this ends up instead supercharging the fate machine and pretty much enables Zaibach to destroy over half of Palas. Played most straight with the "Intensified Luck Soldiers" Naria and Eriya, who get powered up with "lucky blood" which causes, among other things, weapons fired at them to bend off-course if not self destruct, swords swung at them to veer dramatically off to the side and flying mechs pursuing them to spontaneously power-off and drop out of the sky. Unfortunately for the two of them, that blood proves to be Power at a Price. Especially since Hitomi is inherently better at pulling that stunt.

Chocolate Baby: A very rare inversion of the usual trope is used here. While it is thought that Prince Chid is the son of the Duke of Fried and Millerna's sister Marlene, it is very obvious both in-universe and out that the Anglo-Saxon-looking Chid looks absolutely nothing like the duke, who has olive skin and Middle Eastern features. Naturally, Chid isn't his son; he's Allen and Marlene's love child. Unusually, the duke knows all of this, and keeps on vocally insisting that Chid is his, likely out of love (and avoidance of war). .

Meaningful Name
 The Vision of Escaflowne / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Hitomi means "eye", or "iris" which is the colored part of the eye. It was picked out for her because of her ability to see the unseen. In the mangas her last name Hoshino is a play on the words "of the stars". Escaflowne, according to Shoji Kawamori, is rooted in the word "escalation"; and given the presence of Dornkirk a.k.a Sir Isaac Newton, and as already noted above under Beethoven Was an Alien Spy, it is highly likely that it is also related to Eschatology. Master swordsman Balgus' last name, Ganesha, comes from the Hindu god of the same name. (The site is Sadly Mythtaken however- Ganesha's father is the God of Destruction, while Ganesha himself is the god who clears obstacles) Dilandau's guymelef, Alseides, is named after the Alseids, the nymphs found in Greek mythology who live in the groves, springs of rivers, and in meadows — which possibly describes Selena's personality, seeing that Allen's flashback has her in a field and she was said to be gentle. It's also an Ironic Name given how it's used by Dilandau to burn cities and to try to impale Van. The Oreades is named after Greek mythology Oreades, which were nymphs who lived in the mountains. The name of Allen's guymelef, Scheherezade, references A Thousand and One Nights and is Persian for "city-freer"

Noble Male, Roguish Male: Allen is the Noble Male, while Van is the Roguish Male. They are even color-coded. Defied in that Van is really a messianic pacifist who is disgusted by combat, and Allen has sired an illegitimate child — with an engaged woman! Hitomi doesn't take it well.

Spell My Name with an S
 The Vision of Escaflowne / int_89a17726
comment
Spell My Name with an S: The official subtitles can't seem to agree on how to spell things. Though mostly consistent when it comes to the main characters (with the exception Merle being called Meryl once), minor characters vary much more. Compare Ispano/Yspano/Hispano, Chesta/Shesta, Gatty/Gatti, Viole/Viore/Biole/Biore, or Gaea/Gaia for example. Some of this is also due to the Japanese names being translated into other languages. Compare the Mermaid's name of Sylvie/Sylphy/Sylphie. Millerna/Mirana, Dilandau/Dirandau, Balgus/Vargus and Eries/Elise are others.

Timey-Wimey Ball: How much time passed between Leon meeting Hitomi's grandmother and when he sees her before he dies — he grew a full beard but she's wearing the same clothes and is even holding the pinwheel? When Hitomi returns to Earth the first time, it's before she left. When she returns to Gaea, her entire adventure has still taken place. About ten years ago Leon died and gave Hitomi's grandmother the pendant. Hitomi is fifteen-years-old. Not enough time has passed for grandmother to get married, have a daughter, and for the daughter to get married to have Hitomi. When Hitomi truly returns to Earth, it's never stated how much time has passed. Pretty sure someone would notice she's been gone for more than a month. There is a scene where Yukari and Amano talk to Mrs. Kanzaki about Hitomi's disappearance... but is this rendered null when Hitomi finally returns? Was Earth time reset?

Maybe Ever After Suggested in the very last moments of the TV series. Presuming that Hitomi isn't just hallucinating/imagining seeing Van, the scene suggests that communication between Gaea and Earth is still possible (and, if so, travel may be as well). Whether this is the case lays beyond the purview of official works, though.

Prophecy Twist: Knowing that fortunes on Gaea are influenced by human belief and will, Hitomi switches out the Tower card (Separation) for the Emperor (Good Fortune) in the Tarot reading of Millerna's impending marriage to Dryden. Turns out that luck was for the bad guys, who crash the wedding and — thanks to literally supernatural good fortune — destroy over half of Palas and defeat the Escaflowne with only two mechs. Cue Hitomi's cry of My God, What Have I Done?.

Weapon Title: Three-fold. The eponymous "Vision" refers to Hitomi's Seer powers, the titular "Escaflowne" refers to Van's Humongous Mecha, and Hitomi has visions of Escaflowne as well as Van.

Deadly Upgrade: Van forges a psychic link with Escaflowne that makes him more effective at piloting it, at the cost of feeling its pain. Luck enhancement does not end well for Naria and Eriya. Also, Folken implies that His Days Are Numbered because of a set of these.

Break Out the Museum Piece
 The Vision of Escaflowne / int_d40e1a9f
comment
Break Out the Museum Piece: Invoked, then subverted. At one point Allen asks Dryden for Guymelefs to defend against Zaibach, but Dryden tells him he is merely a merchant, not a arms dealer, unless they want to take out the museum pieces in his collection. Ultimately they don't get used in the fight, suggesting they wouldn't have been of much use.

Modest Royalty: While Asturian royalty indulges in Costume Porn, the Fanelian royal family dresses simply. Van, for example, spends all of two scenes in something fancier than a pair of slacks and a peasant's shirt; and in the first of those scenes, he's wearing banged-up armor.

Translation Convention: As Van's introductory scene shows, the language they speak on Gaea is most definitely not Japanese, rather some form of mixed-up Portugeuse — Hitomi just has Translator Microbes.

 The Vision of Escaflowne / int_e543a655
comment
Light Is Not Good: Arguably. The Draconians look very much like angels, but they're viewed as cursed by most people on Gaea. While it's not so much the case for the remaining Draconians (they're just subject to Fantastic Racism), the Atlanteans they're descended from were a something of case of this, and their angel wings (which they gave themselves through the use of some theologically questionable and world-threatening magitek) were a product and major indication of their arrogance.

Determinator: Van, more so as the war goes on. By the halfway point of the series, silly little factors like "we've already surrendered," "your mech is utterly totaled," or "you're bleeding to death," get in the way of trying to fly straight back to the battlefield on his own two wings.

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Emperor Dornkirk is really Isaac Newton. And crazily enough this has some historical basis, given his obsession with the occult and the end of the world.note  You can see where the name Escaflowne comes from — "escalation", in relation to "eschatology". Yep, apples dropping on your head can do that to you.

War Is Hell: While individual fights between Guymelefs are shown to be awesome, especially honorable duels, actual wars are depicted in all their nightmarish horror. The destruction of Fanelia, the invasion of Freid, and the war between Zaibach and the Asturian alliance are all shown to be pointless mass slaughter.

 The Vision of Escaflowne / int_f74ccef4
comment
School Uniforms are the New Black: Hitomi wears her school uniform despite being on a completely different world. She was at school when Van brought her to Gaea, therefore she only had her uniform and her track clothes with her for quite a while. Millerna gives her a new dress, but Hitomi only wears it for one or two episodes, then goes back to her uniform because the dress meets an unfortunate end. When Hitomi's racing to save Van's life, she has to rip it. When one of your best skills is running, long skirts are not helpful.
