I am so happy to see another Escaflowne Fan out there ^^
I agree~ It has aged very well.
(xD lol my brother and I used to make jokes about the noses.... but the movie art is amazing, noses and all~)

I am so glad you mentioned Yoko Kanno!!! Escaflowne was the anime that got me into anime, all because of the great soundtrack and songs (and of course the story and animation).
I really like how anime uses music to their advantage. I definitely have a soft spot for good soundtracks~
