Escaflowne Week 2026, Part 2

September 21 - September 27, 2026

Dear Escaflowne fans, we are preparing for the Part 2 of the Escaflowne Week, 30th Anniversary Edition, which is planned for the dates above, almost exactly two months from now!

The first part took place around the date of the first airing of the series; you can check the submissions on this blog. The second part will take place around the date the first broadcast in Japan was finished.

Maybe you wanted to participate in the first part but you forgot, were too busy, there was not enough time to finish your contributions, you would like to update them, or are simply are finding out about this now. We wanted to give you another opportunity to participate. Plus, we had many good prompt suggestions and prompt combinations that we couldn’t just let them go to waste!

So here is the new set of prompts, with a twist:

Day 1 (Sep 21) Three / Decades Day 2 (Sep 22) Calligraphy / Crush Day 3 (Sep 23) Beast / Betrayal Day 4 (Sep 24) Sisters / Conspiracy Day 5 (Sep 25) Trials / Loss Day 6 (Sep 26) Ruins / Atlantis Day 7 (Sep 27) Time-loop / Wings

Of course, not using any of the prompts, or reusing the ones from Part 1 is more than fine! We just want to celebrate this work (in all its iterations) in its anniversary year.

The rules are unchanged from before, the least you need to do to participate is to tag your contributions @escaflowneweek or #escaflowneweek here on tumblr, or sent us a link to a contribution posted elsewhere.

☄️ Please help spread the word by sharing (reblogging)!

☄️ Hope to see you all in September!

[escaflowneweek]

Thank you for participating in Escaflowne Week, Part 1!

We were very happy to see many of you sharing our love for the now 30 year old franchise! And it's not over. We all have busy lives, and maybe you really wanted to take part but circumstances didn't allow you to do it by last week. But rest assured, all contributions (even the late ones) will be shared here! You may share them when they're ready or just wait and prepare them for the second part of the event, which is planned for September 21-27, 2026.

Additional prompts for Part 2 will be revealed in the next few weeks. No worries though, the old prompts are still good and can be used! 

Remember, if you want to take part in the event, it is necessary to make a public post (not a community one) and tag this blog in it to let us know❗

(@escaflowneweek in the text or #escaflowneweek in the tags)

Full rules are inlcuded in the Part 1 prompts announcement.

See you soon!

Thirty years ago, in 1996, you could have caught this on TV Tokyo, young Maaya Sakamoto introducing "a new show" called Tenkuu no Escaflowne, where she voices the heroine.

Four years later, in 2000, you could have caught this in a Japanese cinema; the full theatrical trailer for Escaflowne (the movie), a dark fantasy retelling of the story.

We will be celebrating the 30th/25th anniversaries for these two throughout this year, inspired by Japan, where it's being celebrated with a new BD release (here's the trailer for that), renewed movie screenings and a bit of new merch.

And we will be using this little logo for the related posts. Just to tie them together visually a bit:

You can already see it in the prompt post of the @escaflowneweek that STARTS TOMORROW! Check it out please, if you haven't!

And more is to come, soon!

The future is built with the ruins of the past

Welcome to the Fanelian Archives. An Archive focused on The Vision of Escaflowne (天空のエスカフローネ), an anime original series by Shoji Kawamori that aired from April to September 1996 in Japan.

This year is the series 30th anniversary. During that time lot has happened and, noticing that fandom artworks and writings can be lost due to different circumstances, this archiving project was created with the goal of rescuing works from the fires of time.

"The Library of Fanelia" is named after the real Library of Alexandria parallelism. Fanelia was destroyed and its people scattered, the King misplaced and having to fight to regain the right to go back to the remains of the kingdom and work on bringing it all back.

What is the archive about?

The current focus is:

Fanfiction

Artbooks

Magazines

Doujinshis

General Scans

Translations

Essays

Websites

If you want to contribute, send me a message stating:

Type of work

Name of work

Author/Raw provider

Publication year

URL where the work is hosted (website, blog, drive, ao3, etc.)

File download link (in case it's not already hosted)

Send works that you have permission to share. At the time being, Fanart, videos and audio are not allowed.

In case you see your work shared without permission or wrongly credited, let me know. No AI works allowed.

The work on this archive will be slow! A step at a time.

Thanks, everyone.
