Meet hitomi kanzaki, a 15-year-old schoolgirl with a fascination for tarot cards and fortune telling. one evening, she is joined by van fanel, a boy who suddenly appears from the sky along with a vicious dragon. thanks to her premonition, van defeats the dragon, but they are then enveloped in a pillar of light that transports them to gaea, a mysterious land where earth hangs in the sky. in this new world, hitomi discovers that van is a prince from fanelia, which falls under attack by zaibach's evil empire. to defend his kingdom, van boards escaflowne, an ancient battle suit, but fails to defeat the enemy forces. now on the run, hitomi and van encounter allen schezar, a handsome asturian knight who looks like her crush from earth. with new allies by their side, they fight against zaibach's forces as they attempt to revive an ancient power.
Escaflowne was originally planned to be a 39 episode series, but after cuts to its budget and an extensive reworking of the plot, the show was reduced to a 26 episode run.Due to time constraints, certain footage in earlier episodes were cut during its broadcast and later restored on the Japanese home video releases, referred to as the Directors Cut. The North American Bandai Entertainment releases used the TV masters, so their English dub does not sync properly with the Japanese home video masters on those specific episodes. FUNimation later licensed the series and, in 2016, launched a successful Kickstarter to redub the entirety of the Directors Cut edition.
