The Vision of Escaflowne- Hitomi's Decision (Spoilerness)

Postby Tainted_Eden » Mon May 16, 2005 11:27 am

Okay, firstly, if you haven't seen the end of Esca, dun read onwards.

Thsu said, I shall rant now! GARGH. Anyway, at the end of Escaflowne, Hitmor freakin' goes back to earth. What kinda moron does that?!?! I mean, yeah, a life in Japan will be nice. To be with family, see her friends, live a normal life...

As compared to, y'know, a life on a great non poluted country, in beautiful Fanalia, to be the QUEEN of said country, have tons of high and powerful friends, oh, and not to mention that she'd be living with Van for the rest of her fuckin' life.... I mean, c'mon, that's SO drull as compared to living in Japan.

....

*bitch slaps Hitomi* I'm sure other people agree with me. BUT! Let's make this intersting! Why DIDN'T Hitomi say with Van? Anyone gots opinions or insights?

I remember my friends and I ranting on about this years ago when Esca was aired on TV. We always thought that she should have stayed - because we would have :lol:

Anyway, thinking about it now, I still find it a little disappointing. But I havn't watched the show since then, so my opinion may be a little biased.

Going back to Japan:

Pros:
She'll get to catch up on any anime that she's been missing.
She'll get to pine after her almost boyfriend who's leaving anyway, and reminds her of that other guy....
She'll get to chill with her parents and they won't think she was kidnapped
She'll have some awesome bar stories to tell. Too bad nobody will believe it.
She'll have a real big 'fish that got away' story with Van.

Cons:
She won't get to be Queen of a country that worships her.
She'll have to go back to school and do more standardized testing.
She'll never find someone to match Van, the guy who flys on a dragon and risked his life, country and nearly soul to save her and be with her.
She'll be a 'kid' in someones house after saving a whole country.
She'll piss off all the fans of the show that wanted her to stay.

------------------

Did I mention the whole Queen thing? Damm. Plus it must really suck for Van, I mean he's all risking EVERYTHING for her.. and she's like.. oh, hey thanks I'll call you. She should have been a bit more like that chick in 12 kingdoms that sort of figured out that ruling isn't all that bad.

*dies from laughing* "Oh hey thanks, I'll call you" Ahahaha, poor guy!!

Ack, but person who saw Escaflowne on the TV!! Ye must either buy a DVD or at least rent it! What you probably saw was the disgusting, miserable FoxKids dub. *shudder* OHM, how much I hate ye! *stabbity stab stab* The uncut dub is really good, only a few word changes. PLUS, we get Kirby Morrow, he does a GREAT job at portraying Van. Plus, Paul Dobson as Folken-sama. *droolage*

*cough* Anyway.... I wonder if Van'll be able to go to Earth? Didn't Hitomi give him her necklace?

Sure there is! It's my understanding that the Bible Black game even ships with a 'special' joystick/handlotion dispenser.

I'm so lost on all the humor that is Bible Black.... *sees the name pop up in the Name Anime Screenshot thing* I'm guessing it's Hentai.

OHM. Spew, not my kind at all! @_@ *can't handle teh rape of teh women* ANYWAY, it's Hitomi, you silly spell error person.

And there is two manga. Escaflowne was made directly for TV, and so a shonen and a shoujo version were made. Tokyo Pop were idiots, as they stupidily decided to translate the shonen version, which SUCKS... Well, I think it sucks. >.< They turned my darling Dilandau-sama into Prince!!

The shonen goes off into its own little world, even with character designs. The shoujo (and preferable) version mostly keeps with the character designs but also a slightly different plot. But for some odd reason, both versions give Hitomi long hair. @_@

well the "rape" is just due to their supposed ages i think, but if y a listen to it the characters themselves say "yes.. rape me you feel so goo draping me." That sort of dialogue. is in the first episode. when this guy cast a sex spell on a blond cheerleader type. Anyways yeah they are weird. Ill IM you sometime and trip you out with all the stufff i could tell ya. Oh i seen the shoujo manga of Escaflowne i too prefeer that one.

Well, returning to the topic post, I think the problem is Van! He didn't ask Hitomi to be her queen, right? So Hitomi preferred not to risk everything for a simple possibility.

I think Hitomi should have stayed with van!! it was disappointing that she went back to earth. If it was me I would have stayed.

Yeah Hitomi gave him the necklace before he hugged her and she went home ^_^

I love the series but I like the animation in the movie better!

I really didn't like their pointy noses in the anime but I got used to it doesn't bother me anymore

Yeah, but even so... would you rather be a respected semi-worshipped person in a magical kingdom or a High School (middle school?) student?

Maybe he didn't pledge his crown but it was pretty obvious the way the wind was blowing. Besides, didn't he just get done risking his life, kingdom and everything else for her? How much more commited does she need a guy to be? I mean, even after he lost his kingdom, all of his friends and mentors, AND was being hunted down he was still trying to help her. I'm thinking that my personal priorities might have changed a bit after that. PLUS she was all moony eyed over what's his name half the time. I'd be all "hey... get blondie to help you then."

Somebody mentioned the necklace.. but I don't really see how that's going to help him except to maybe point to the HUGE PLANET in the sky. "hitomi is there"

I think we have to face it... she traded in her knight in shining armor (literally!) for a drab high school existence with a distant chance of a track scholarship to some college. Although... the plumbing was probably better.

*was the one who mentioned it* But the necklace is what got Hitomi's grandmother to the Mystic Moon. Then Allen's dad gave it to her, whereas Hitomi could then return.

Plus, even though Hitomi was on Earth, when Van came back for her, he was able to travel because of the pendant. So wouldn't it be likely that he also could go to Earth?

But knowing Van, he'd be too dedicated to his country and wouldn't travel to Earth on the possibility that he might never return. *le sigh* Hitomi no baka. Shoji Kawamori, you taught us nothing but throwing away a perfectly good chance!
