In celebration of psychodragon82 finally watching Esca (aka the best anime ever until FMA)...

A Vid Rec List for The Vision of Escaflowne

1. Believe in Me
song: Tonight, Tonight
artist:The Smashing Pumpkins
spoilers: episode 26
comments: So very very pretty. It's my favorite Esca video. And what a wonderful, soaring song to go with a wonderful, soaring anime.


2. I Just Can't Wait to be King
song: I Just Can't Wait to be King
artist: Disney, The Lion King OST
spoilers: er...early/middlish of the anime. No major plot points spoiled.
comments: Van, Van, Van...someone needs to give that boy a whap to the head with a walking stick.

3. Devotion
song: #1 Crush
artist: Garbage
spoilers: episode 26
comments: I swear, you could make 3 bajillion romance vids for this show, and it'd NEVER get dull. This is a very, very good one. As are the others I will be mentioning. But this one has that really cool song.

4. Gunning Down Romance
song: Gunning Down Romance
artist: Savage Garden
spoilers: episode 26
comments: It's angst. Live it, breathe it, romanticize it.

5. Glory of Love
song: Glory of Love
artist: Peter Cetera
spoilers: episode 26
comments: This is one of the top 10% downloaded videos on AMV.org. Because it's perfect. I mean, it's disgusting how perfect this video is. Although, the Tonight Tonight video mentioned above (by the same vidder) is my personal favorite.

side note: supposedly this song is by Peter Cetera, but I could have sworn it was by Chicago. Unless Peter Cetera is the lead singer of Chicago? Who knows. EDIT: Turns out he is.


mock movie trailers:

6. Escadune
movie: Dune
spoilers: episode 26
comments: Surprisingly good choice for an Esca trailer. Really goes with the whole mythic quality of the show.

7. Escaflowne: Zone of Absolute Fortune
movie: The Mummy Returns
spoilers: I'm just gonna say episode 26 to be safe, though it's vague on actual events.
comments: War sucks.



NOTE: For a few other good videos, check out the extras on the first Escaflowne DVD; you'll find 3 music videos to music from the series; my favorite is "Into The Light". All are spoilery.

The "Glory for Love" video really is perfect. Wow.

And watching these has put me in the mood to watch the whole series over again, because it's been a couple of years. But, sadly, I only have the first four DVDs. Woe. I should get around to buying the second half of the series.

Did you watch them all? The Dune trailer is particularly cool.

I've watched the ones I was able to download. I wasn't given a download link with a couple of them. But I was able to see the Escadune one and it was, indeed, very cool. :)

Ah. You should join the site; it's free registration and then you can download load anything off the "local" server (the site's space). It takes a week after registering before you can download, though.

Hm...but, I have joined. A couple of months ago. And I signed in to download stuff tonight. I thought maybe it was because I haven't pledged anything, though.

oops

you're right; two of them don't have links.

Ah, okay, then. Odd.
