Think'n about Visions of Escaflowne.
-Trashy old 90s anime, sure.
-Kinda queer coded hero though, so that's cute.
-Transboy, not the best handled, but he's got some seriously sword-boy-who-fucks energy, show does Dilandau dirty :<
-Catgirls.
-Cool mecha called Guymelefs (and yes it sounds like "guy milfs" and I'm very here for guymilfs)
-Catgirls.
If you wanting to watch this, I highly recommend the movie instead. It's a cut down retelling of them anime but I think is just better quality all around. But the Anime holds a special place in my heart.
Visions of Escaflowne (1996) spoilers?
Cuz people probably don't know of it. It wasn't like... amazingly good, I know my love of it is through rose colored glasses and I will accept that.
But also, Dilandau is a perfect boy.
Visions of Escaflowne (1996), cool mecha
gods I wanna find better images of the Crima Claw. It's such a cool weapon that I don't think really ever is duplicated.
Liquid metal melded through the club-like hand structure. They often twist and solidify to form blades but can be shot in liquid form like whips or javelins. Notably also can form large claws, but like... can't find a scene of it happening online <_<
All around a unique weapon I've not seen since.
Hey Kos, why Escaflowne?
Uh, I was reminded of old animes with catgirls and oh by the way Merle (to my memory) is a very @fluxom_alt gremlin.
@kelseyhusky Gods, sometimes I wonder what would happen if some of these old 90s anime got like, a really good rewrite and voice acting crew for dubs.
@Draekos Not going to disagree with you on the bad jokes part. I see that as a challenge to creativity to eventually create something better. But I'm obnoxiously optimistic at times, and I sit on a throne of privilege of "shit that's way too much work, I could never do that"
@kelseyhusky I mean, tbh I've found a lot of those abridged series use some really phobic jokes? I legitimately LIKE Escaflowne, I'd love to watch it again with better translation and some personality behind the voice acting
(as much as I do like subs, TBH a good dub is hard to say no to)
