[@Micolashcage1]

Hidetaka Miyazaki creator of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring etc.. said he wants to make a game inspired by this anime

[@pingpong5877]

Dark Souls x Armored Core would be an insane game concept. I always liked the idea of mechs in the fantasy genre.

[@InaudibleHippo]

THAT'S INSANE!!!

[@tv-kun8086]

no

[@MaxDrawsStuff]

@@pingpong5877 FROM already made this game in 1999. It's called Frame Gride.

[@cedriccode1166]

Just imagine a mecha fame in a médiéval/fantasy universe.....

[@Nacthem]

For years, every few months i'd get the urge to watch this again. Disappeared from youtube at some point, and the only copy I saw was low quality, but this promo is too good. And now here it is, redone and clearer than ever. I doubt a lot of people will come looking for this, but i'm very glad it's here. Well done and thank you.

[@Voidspine_]

We all did

[@hunteractual4030]

I looked for this for years. Remember seeing it on tv as a child.

[@Niki1588]

Every new year I saw the movie ... it's my tradition 🎉😊

[@CarlM]

It just got randomly recommended to me and it looks awesome lol

[@glazeddonut9494]

I still have it on dvd, original purchase. Just the movie. The series I found on a pirate site in HD and have saved on an SSD.

[@IITyeII]

It was just a promo. But to this day the song and memory of it has stuck with me. Well done

[@AnkhAnanku]

I saw it once and it never left me.

I'll be real, your remake of the promo is why I decided to watch the show for the first time. Thank you for making this!

[@morfx9911]

2 years later, now im on that same journey.

What a time, when life was so simple. One of my favorite promos ❤

[@unforeseencircumstances]

Still remember the first time seeing escaflowne with the theme song dundundun ESCA! dundundun FLOWNE!

[@daniellavarier2780]

That opening was fire as a kid

[@turankettes]

I can’t explain it at all, but this video is somehow very special to me. There is something truly capturing about it - enchanting, even.

[@AnaïsAlmara]

I watched this as a child and it was very pleasing to the mind,body and soul ❤❤❤❤ watch it ❤

[@CardboardPhantom]

That cello is incredible.

[@solus48]

Shadow of Doubt from the OST, it is wonderful.

[@Uki2QT]

Yoko’s beautiful music in escaflowne ❤

[@set2k6]

I've been looking for this song for 17 years! I looked at all the toonami bumps i could remember. Then I realized I forgot about escaflowne and thought let me look for old escaflowne bumps. Found it!

[@TommyBoy8972]

Well, what's the name of the song?!

[@set2k6]

@@TommyBoy8972Shadow Of Doubt

[@sethhatch6672]

this probably one of the most memorable promos and movies I ever watched on adultswim way back when I had to stay up late at my cousins house to get cable access we loved staying up past midnight for the toonami block. Good memories, Good remake.

[@doggodoggo3000]

Wow its so cool you remade this. This is the best side of youtube. You went out of your way to reproduce this obscure thing and made so many people happy. Its just really cool to see stuff like that. People can be pretty awesome sometimes.

[@axelpettersson1482]

Egen though I like Escaflowne would have loved to see us getting this darker take on the story from this promo.

[@southofzero2510]

stumbled across this and watched it wide eyed without blinking -- so beautiful... reading the comments and learning the context only made it more lovely. i have to watch escaflowne now...

[@eunhyuekpark6159]

I dust off the ol DVD's and give it a watch every now and then. Its great and you'll love it!

[@jobsidian4219]

[@axxa5000]

One of my favorite Adult Swim promos for one of my most favorite Anime films. Thank you for this.

[@Brandonheat8]

Thank you sooo very much for remaking this video, absolutely loved that promo.

[@wolves_blade4788]

This is one of the best anime movies of my childhood

[@HarioGu]

The song is so powerful

[@krpyton7368]

It Called shadow of doubt

[@cmiller0987]

Thats the power of Yoko Kanno's music.

[@mb7626]

Judging by all the recent comments it looks like this is one of those 'six years old vids suddenly dug up by the algorithm' sort of situations. Incidentally maybe it's time to revisit Escaflowne, it's been a while, and this vid was quite pretty and brought me back to some old memories.

[@GoobySVP]

Was looking for this a few months ago, was sad that I couldn't find it. Tried again today, and got this version. Fantastic work!

[@jaysond4791]

Oh my god, I've been racking my brain for years about this show. I had distinct memories of that scene where the armor attaches and the cape and sword and I could never remember what the show actually was.

[@rangelvictor5759]

Man some of these promos were so good. my personal favorite is Lupin the Third: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, look it up. soo good. so nostalgic.

[@julianolavegoya1826]

I always wanted to see this again, ever since I was young kid watching Toonami. Thank you for reviving this promo for me and everyone else who loved it.

[@bezoznaught5261]

Escaflowne was fucking brilliant, this anime has a feeling no other anime has

[@themanwithnoname287]

In case you missed the description, the music is a chopped up version of "Shadow of Doubt" by Hajime Mizoguchi

[@Micolashcage1]

Why do you think this video got a bunch of youse all the sudden

[@CharlyStands]

Si está épica 🗣️‼️

[@commentdouchery2838]

Its kind of wild to think that there's actually several versions of Escaflowne. This is the OVA, there's the Anime, and then there's like 3 separate version of the Manga. As much as I like the Anime, the OVA is really the definitive version for me. Mainly because the Anime gets a bit long winded and lost in what it's try to tell.

[@mangalegends]

Thanks for the heads up, the OVA is definitely going on my watch list

[@peterl3909]

I didn’t know I was looking for this. But it found me. And now I get to enjoy the source entirely. Thank you.

Escaflowne - A girl in Gaia Oh...an absolute Masterpiece ✨😮‍💨☕

[@tyronrichardson1037]

Is this the original series of a remake? Don't remember this version for some reason

[@jonathannjembe7788]

@@tyronrichardson1037 "Escaflowne - A girl in Gaia" is a Movie from 2000, different from the anime "The Vision Of Escaflowne" from 1997, that you probably saw. The scenario is slightly different (new characters same characters got new designs etc) and way more darker than what we have in the anime. I highly suggest that you watch it if you can.

[@sebastianprimomija8375]

I've been looking for this Promo for years, I remember watching the bump live years ago.

[@spence7275]

Likewise, this song/promo has never left my memory. It must’ve been back in high school, prob 05

[@quietdiscofork]

thank you for this! i remember the first time i watched that promo on a tiny old jvc tv and being breathless, just frozen. it is wonderful to see it was special to other people too

[@dyreckta23]

This was my shit growing up Soras theme in the bar woo what a soind track

[@maricleredpav4068]

The opening pop up in my head from time to time, from out of nowhere this is so nostalgic damn anime of this era are fuckin gold

[@taylordressen4905]

Still have copies of the VHS sitting on my shelf

[@adventuresinbasicreality219]

Work of art

[@MrLocoSuave]

Folken's theme is a master piece!

[@sidfritch974]

wow, i have a copy of the original adult swim promo, might have to upload it since its missing, but god damn this is amazing

[@Theboyfromjupiter]

Imma watch it i dont even care what its about, imma watch it

[@benjamintherogue2421]

I remember seeing this when it promo'd on Adult Swim. I wanted to watch Escaflowne ever since. I still haven't. Someday, someday I will.

[@ilovecomputers]

The memory of this promo made me think I watched Escaflowne as a kid. I saw the film and some of the TV series. Didn’t ring a bell. It was just this promo this whole time lol

[@ilovecomputers]

The film was badass tho despite the rushed pacing. Reminded me what a good isekai could be like

[@ZhijingEu]

Isekai plus mecha plus magic feels like it should not work but it somehow does.... Truly a classic. Both the OVA and the series are good.

[@SonGoku-tp8gb]

Never heard of this. You got me interested, I'm considering watching this now lol

[@PeterOla-Itan]

When I was young Vision of Escaflowne was following Neon Genesis Evangelion during the afternoon. Now that I remember it, it was my first contact with an japanese animation other than Dragon Ball

[@capedluna]

It truly is sad that you can't find a recording of the promo on KZbin. I have found Woof's Rain ones. Sometimes I was convinced that I dreamt up the promo as I never watched the movie.Regardless, thank you for the recreation. All it needed was the [adult swim] logo when in the clouds (i think that was the part). Great job.

[@naruto73syfy]

Underrated anime

[@hectorrodriguez6601]

That show definitely had Adult Swim vibes

[@Ppppsssszzz]

Escaflowne Film und auch der Anime ist sehr beeindruckend und wunderschön hoffe immer noch auf eine Fortsetzung

[@graynoita]

This promo made me set my grandparents VCR to record the movie when it premiered

[@portalkey5283]

Oh look what the algorithm gods decided to float today. Only seeing this now after watching Escaflowne some DECADES ago.

[@earlofyarg]

been watching this for years and years now, still just as good. thank you for this.

[@Myrth1]

"Sell me this anime. You've got 30 seconds" It's easily one of the best trailers ever made, because it hooks you up without telling jack or shit about the actual content - but you have a reason to check on your own in the same time. I consider Toonami's promos to be a lost art at this point, since every single trailer for past 15 or so years is just your regular clip and plot description. Same goes with the legendary, for years considered lost media trailer for "Eaters of the Dead" (ultimately released as "13th Warrior") - it gives the viewer the hook and the sinker, while making it like a fun thing to take the bait and watch the movie. It's like something weird happened by mid-00s and they've stopped trying to hook people into watching the stuff, instead simply telling what it is about.

[@reversemoustachecat8127]

One of the most underrated anime and a great story. So many young people are missing out by not giving it a chance

[@1uplink169]

I found some tape at my friends house of the series and instantly borrowed them and binge watched them... my first time binge watching anything. Folken Strago....i even used that name for some dnd sessions. When his wings reveal I was captivated.

[@punani_slayer4209]

Damn now i want to watch the show

[@jimmymemez3977]

Just wanted to say... Yhanks for posting! This promo is special.

[@aviongris4233]

I have watched this 400 times in the past 3 days

[@bllakc]

This anime traumatized me as a kid. But boy do I wanna rewatch this in its full glory.

[@xxthecreativekitsunexx7966]

Thankfully I found sunrise dvd boxsets on the cheap, this particular anime was amongst them. I bought the boxset in a clear plastic clamshell case for 80 CAD back in 2003. Still have it to this very day still, somewhere I also have the cd sountrack for the movie as well.

[@dandyjandon4231]

One of my fav. Anime still have the collection

[@Garl_Vinland]

“Lord Folken, now is the time I can fulfill my greatest wish.” “Your wish was revenge?”

For anyone wondering, the song name is Shadow of Doubt

[@JoevaniePraquilles]

Dang! This is the very first anime that I watched way back in high school. This is one of my favorites

[@vangang8224]

I had no clue what this anime was before this video and now I’m going to start watching it

[@seandougan8593]

The last 20 years of japanese orchestra has been impressive, how unique bringing it to their cartoon industry what a combination of cinema production they have turned out to be

[@m3n3lli]

ACKCHYUALLY... the OST was performed by Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, not a Japanese one.

[@arimaasu]

Thank you. I've been trying to find the name of this song my whole life.

I have never heard of this Anime but this looks fucking amazing

[@SMGJohn]

Escaflowne on the old Trinitron is unmatched

[@5pydieman]

Idk if it’s the Name or what, but every few months or so this anime randomly just pops up in my head and it’s been like this for YEARS! The funniest part is I think I’ve only seen about and episode or two back in the day so it’s not like it left this every lasting impression on me 😂 I think this is the year I’ll finally dive in and watch it in its entirety

[@omslaw8258]

This anime was ahead of its time.
