Hitomi Kanzaki is a typical high school girl, with all the regular high school problems. But when a vision of a young man battling a dragon becomes a reality, her life changes forever. Drawn into a strange vortex with the swordsman, Van, Hitomi is thrust into the strange world of Gaia.

MNA Notes
- Everyone watched this when it was showing on Fox. EVERYONE. (Too bad they only showed eleven episodes, and all hacked up).
- Emo at first, crap at end. Excellent in middle.
- The series was followed in 2000 by Escaflowne: The Movie. It was shown live-subbed at Anime Expo '00, and many were shocked about how different it was from the series. Summary from another otaku at the premier: "it was like a really good fanfic."
