Nice dvd marred by technical problems - By: , 27 Feb 2005
As always, Escaflowne itself, the series, continues to be wonderful. The direction, voice acting, art & pacing are excellent, & the plot has always been brilliantly inspired.

However, this dvd set contains technical issues which detract from this.

For one thing, the visual quality of this release is reminiscent of a bad VHS quality release. Colours fluctuate, the lines & outlines alll show rainbow effects, and, alll, in alll, it looks more like a screener from a cinema than an actual release.

Secondly, the english subtitles seem to cease part-way through thelast episode on the last disc, thus you either have to switch to the (inferior) english dub, or you have to try & puzzle out the meaning from the japanese.

This could have been great, but the technical mess-ups mean it's relegated to the realm of bargin-bin "i hate subs" type of affair.
