* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Using [[The Ocean Group]], it's bound that' you'll hear voice actors from various anime like ''[[
** [[Kirby Morrow|Van]] and Hitomi are [[Inuyasha
** [[Brian Drummond|Allen]] is [[Gundam Wing|Zechs]] and [[Gundam Seed|Andrew Waldfeld]], making him well suited for piloting mecha.
** [[Paul Dobson|Folken]] is [[Transformers Armada
** [[Andrew Francis|Dilandau]] is [[X-Men: Evolution
** Emperor Dornkirk is [[Beast Wars
** The Moleman is [[Dragon Ball
** The Main Character Seiyuu in ''Escaflowne'' have appeared in various ''Gundam'' Series;
*** [[Tomokazu Seki|Van's]] [[G Gundam|Hand Burns with an awesome power!]]
*** [[Shinichiro Miki|Allen]] is [[Fan Nickname|Stupid Sexy]] [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Lockon!]]
*** [[Maaya Sakamoto|Hitomi]] is [[Gundam Seed Destiny|a bad shot.]]
* [[Maaya Sakamoto]]: She voiced Hitomi ''and'' sang the songs. She initially was hired only to do the former, but then [[Yoko Kanno]] said she could do both. And for more bonus, Hitomi was her ''breaking'' role as a seiyuu.

* [[What Could Have Been]]
** ''Escaflowne'' was originally going to be directed by Yasuhiro Imagawa. Yes, ''[[G Gundam|that]]'' [[Giant Robo
** Not only that, but it originally supposed to be a [[World War I]]-styled spinoff of ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross
** To quote series co creator, Shoji Kawamori: "if Macross was robotic mecha and love songs, why not a story about robotic mecha and divining powers?"
** Another example: Fans of the show wanted this series to air on [[Cartoon Network]] so it would be given a proper treatment on [[Toonami]] (this was before [[Adult Swim]] came into existence, which thankfully aired [[The Movie]] uncut). Instead, Bandai gave the license to Saban, where it was [[Macekre|horribly butchered]] and [[Screwed
** It was also originally planned to have a plot spanning 39 episodes. Due to budget constraints, the story was carefully compressed into two-thirds of that length in order to retain its subplots and characters (which were at risk of being cut for time). This is why the story moves at such a brisk pace compared to many other animes (both before and since) and yet feels very carefully plotted. While nothing was really changed story-wise, however, who knows how the story would have ''felt'' to -- and been received by -- audiences, had the creators the necessary budget on-hand.
