Watched about 4 minutes of the Escaflowne movie dub on AS tonight.

It's odd. I forgot, somehow, that it would be the same actors as the dub cast for the tv series. I guess the movie is so divorced from the tv show in my mind that, for some reason, I unconsciously expected a totally new English voice cast for it.

Weird.

For the 4 minutes I rewatched, I still didn't like it. I wish AS could have the tv show instead.

Things I like about the Escaflowne Movie:

[1] OMG THE MUSIC - The music to the movie is just as good, if not excelling over that of the TV show. "Black Escaflowne", which sounds like Duel of the Fates Esca-style, is STILL my favorite Escaflowne track. Ever.

[2] The animation. Wow, is it pretty.

[3] The character designs. Well, this falls into a 'mostly liked'. I was definitely glad the ski-jump noses of death went away, but there was something about the new designs that made me twitch. (Although, I can't complain with Van-sama running around without a shirt ... or most of a shirt ... for the movie.)

Things I didn't Like:

[1] THE PLOT.

[2] THE PLOT. (Psychic battles? What is this, X? If you're going to do something that drastically different, oh, explain it a little? Maybe?)

[3] THE PLOT. *growls*

So, yeah. Wow, it's been a long time since I've watch the movie, I ought to pull out the DVD and rewatch it. Maybe later. *is watching the Mummy*.
