@ami_angelwings The Vision of Escaflowne! It was very well received worldwide, but not as successful as hoped in Japan, which I think limited its influence.
it really showed that it's entirely possible to create a series with broad appeal with both boys and girls, combining action and romance. I think if there were more series like it, we'd have less pigeonholing of boys and girls anime today.
@Canageek @ami_angelwings OH ABSOLUTELY! I’ve long thought that arriving in the same year as Not Even A Jelly Donut robbed #Escaflowne of the attention and success it deserved.
Much like #Akira did the same to #WingsOfHonneamise… (yes, that’s the #SpaceMovies fan in me again. I regret nothing).
