April 2nd, 2021 marks the 25th Anniversary of the Fantasy Mecha
series The Vision of Escaflowne! And to celebrate this milestone,
I've called up NewTypeLady from another world to talk all about
it with me! Even with an extra long run time for the occasion, we
only really touch the tip of the iceberg on just what makes
Escaflowne so special, but we give it all we got! Listen as we
recount the series' very interesting production history, the
great characters that make up this beloved show, and why we think
that you should still check out this "isekai" anime all these
years later. And for those who already know and love the series,
at around the 1:20:13 mark, we go FULL SPOILERS and briefly
talk about some of the more interesting spoilery aspects of the
series, including how I can never seem to
pronounce "Guymelf" correctly, extremely 90s-era anime
boyfriends, and lamenting how they don't make messy villains that
chew up the scenery like they used to. All this and listener
questions, too!
