The Vision Of Escaflowne OST - Intro Theme/Opening - Yakusoku wa Iranai

[@paulgibbon5991]

I heard a theory once, that Escaflowne is the most anime anime ever to exist. In one series, you have isekai, giant transforming mecha, a magical girl in a sailor outfit, catgirls, bishounen, oversized swords, a nuclear weapons allegory, airships and a giant lizard rampaging through Tokyo. No improvement is possible.

What a wonderful, heartfelt, character-driven show. I should watch it again.

[@lumpcrittergravy]

It was 1999. My Mom and Dad were split up. Me and my Mother were living in my Sister's basement at the time. Saturday mornings on Fox, back then it was on channel 5, and the show had a totally different opening. Loved it, as well as the show. Show had the Ocean Group that voiced the dub. They were Canadian. It was the number one show for me at the time. It stopped about halfway through the series. For years I didn't know what was gonna happen next. Then I bought the DVD collection in 2007, by then I was gainfully employed. I watch the first episode and saw how the story actually began. I don't think the first episode aired on Fox back then, I could be wrong. Then the second episode started and this song came on...it was the most beautiful thing I ever heard. I got to finish the anime. I loved it even more. It's been 13 years since then. By now I've seen the Funimation dub, and I actually like it more. To each his own. To me this song symbolized my freedom. For I started to learn to spread my wings.

[@philliphoyle5848]

Damn... make me cry why don’t you

[@lumpcrittergravy]

@@philliphoyle5848 I feel you there. When I started the DVD collection it was a Saturday. I listened to this song over and over again. I cried when I heard it too.
