This Day in Anime History 📺✨ June 24

A spectacular celebration of a dark, cinematic fantasy masterpiece and peak turn-of-the-century theatrical animation:

• Escaflowne (2000)

Celebrating the theatrical summer release of Escaflowne (also known as Escaflowne: A Girl in Gaea)! Produced by Sunrise and animated by Studio Bones, this cinematic masterpiece offered a breathtaking, darker reinterpretation of the legendary 1996 TV series. Featuring Nobuteru Yūki’s striking, matured character re-designs and a sweeping, iconic orchestral score by Yoko Kanno, the film completely reinvented Hitomi’s journey into the war-torn, mystical world of Gaea. It stands as an absolute monument to the pinnacle era of hand-drawn Japanese theatrical animation.

Do you remember witnessing the majestic, dragon-armor transformation of Escaflowne on the big screen? ⚔️🐉
