Line 9:
Now with its own [[The Vision of Escaflowne/Characters|character sheet]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[The Abridged Series]]: ''[[Vision of Escaflowne Abridged]]''
Line 57:
** Nariya and Eriya, complete with a bit of [[Twincest|incestual]] [[Les Yay]].
** The manga series then takes the fanservice and runs off a cliff with it, to the point that it gets distracting.
* [[Fandom Gank]]: Some anime fans had this reaction to the ending, because {{spoiler|Hitomi could have been the queen of a magical kingdom, instead she returns to [[Ordinary High School Student|high school]], [[The Chikan|subway molestation]], and a glass ceiling as an [[Office Lady]]?}}
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: At least some humans seem to have this for the Beastmen. Humans and Beastmen against {{spoiler|the Draconians, the winged descendants of the people of Atlantis}}.
* [[First Church of Mecha]]: In at least one of the manga.
Line 92 ⟶ 93:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
** Naria and Eriya. Semi-Twincestious, scantily-clad [[Catgirl|Cat Girls]] that are [[Twin Threesome Fantasy|totally willing to share]]? Holy shit, where do we sign!
** Merle -- [[Token
** Hitomi [[She's Got Legs|gots some legs]] and [[She Cleans Up Nicely|cleans up nicely]].
* [[Muggle and Magical Love Triangle]]: Allen, Hitomi, and Van. While Allen may be a [[Master Swordsman]], he is a muggle to the bone, while Van is a [[Half-Human Hybrid]], descendant of the cursed and now-extinct {{spoiler|Atlantean}} race. Also, Allen appears to be the Gaean counterpart of Amano, Hitomi's high school running coach and first crush, making him a muggle times two.
Line 101 ⟶ 102:
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Everything that isn't Dornkirk's fault in this series is Hitomi's.
* [[Noble Male, Roguish Male]]: Allen is the Noble Male, while Van is the Roguish Male. They are even [[Hair Contrast Duo|color-coded]].
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]]: Quite often. The most notable examples in the [[BGM]] are [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSlNHi6wgQQ Dance of the Curse] and [http://daitrombe.net/attachments/1850/Escaflowne_-_Epistle.mp3 Epistle]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Opening Narration]]: "Was it all just a dream? Or maybe a vision... no, it was real! [insert a few lines recapping the previous episode]" This stopped about halfway through the series.
* [[Opera Gloves]]
Line 142 ⟶ 143:
* [[Tarot Motifs]]: Arguably half the point.
* [[Theme Naming]]: Van & Allen are named for famous scientist James Van Allen and the radiation belt he discovered surrounding the Earth.
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]{{context}}{{verify}}
* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Brutally deconstructed as Van slowly becomes an all-out [[Blood Knight]] who revels in battles. Needless to say, Hitomi is horrified.
