Introduction----Tenku no Escaflowne(Escaflowne of the sky), The Vision of Escaflowne is the english title. The Vision of Escaflowne is an anime with a fantasy-styled world with mecha, knights in armor, lots of romance, real life stuff, magic, drama, and action. I say this is a perfect anime for everyone. Now the story takes place in planet Gaea. A girl name Hitomi Kanzaki who came from Earth who people on planet Gaea call it the Illusionary Moon. Well Hitomi was a regular japanese high-school girl who is a spirited star member of her high school track team, with her best friend Yukari as her manager. She has a crush on a national-level runner on the men's team, his name is Susumu Amano, and her request for a kiss from Amano if she can run 100 meters in 13 seconds, sets the story's chain of events in motion. Hitomi has a unique talent of fortunetelling and using a deck of Tarrot cards and also "dowsing" with an unusual rose-colored pendant given to her by her grandmother. When she is transported to Gaea she was running in the track and a dragon popped up then Van because he was hunting for the dragon and both got transported to Gaea. Her fortunetelling abilities got a boost that she can even see visions as clear as a picture. Well I can't ruin it for you.
