This is the world of Gaea, a planet torn apart by war, with the Mystic Moon, which is actually Earth, hanging in its sky at night. In this strange land, Hitomi is befriended by Van, the boy-king of the country Fanelia. Together they join forces with Allen, a Heavenly Knight from the kingdom of Asturia and his crew to fight against Dornkirk, ruler of Zaibach, who has intentions of taking over Gaea. A colorful and eclectic cast of characters make Escaflowne highly interesting and exciting to watch. There's plenty of sword fighting and mech (guymelefs) action as well. Political intrigue, romance, family strains, and the strength of friendship are all touched upon with the emotional storytelling of Escaflowne. Backed by a haunting, yet beautiful soundtrack, everyone is welcome to delve into the mysterious world of Gaea, and find out the secret of the Escaflowne.
