    Re: Which ESCAFLOWNE Box Set is better?

    My sister bought me one or the other for Christmas. Haven't watched it all yet. Escaflowne was amazing when I was a kid, but seeing it again after having seen more anime, it's painfully obvious how formulaic it is.

    I've never seen the end, though, so I'll get around to finishing it eventually.

      I love Escaflowne and would like to own it, so I'm curious as to which is better too. o_o

        I have the perfect collection, never heard of the anime legends version. I will tell you this: Whatever you do, do NOT watch it dubbed. it's not because of the dub quality (the voices are pretty good), but because the dub spoils big plot points left and right. you'll see characters talking about things that they really shouldnt know yet, and were meant to surprise the viewer later on.

          This reminds me of when I go to the eye doctor. Which looks better. 1 or 2.

          Anyway, I like the anime legends version better.

            it doesnt matter what the look of the set is. the anime legends box may be missing special features, or who knows what else.

              Escaflowne's characterization, setting and music is gold. Sure the story's got some shoujo cheese but as a whole I'd recommend it to any anime fan.

                        Well I'm thinking that the Perfect Collection is better because it includes the movie...

                          That's the only difference.

                          Also, Escaflowne isn't original in the least, but it IS the best anime to use those ideas that there's ever been. The pacing is incredibly fast. There's no filler in this series at ALL.

                            Well then maybe I'll just get the Anime Legends set because you can actually buy it new and the Perfect Collection can only be bought used and a lot of the used sales (on eBay and Amazon) seem like bootleg crap.

                              the movie isnt worth watching anyways, IMO. it just ***** all over the characters you grew to love in the series. making Van look like a goddamn caveman... UNFORGIVABLE.
