A girl from Earth, a world at war, and a legendary machine that could decide the fate of them all.
Hitomi Hoshino is a high school girl with a fascination for mysticism who suddenly finds herself transported to the fantastical world of Gaea. There, she becomes mysteriously connected to Escaflowne, a powerful knight machine, and joins the impulsive Prince Van in a desperate struggle against the invading Zaibach Empire. With giant armored machines, magic, dragons, political conflict, and romance, this version of Escaflowne offers a more action-heavy and intense take on the classic fantasy adventure.
