Changes: The Vision of Escaflowne

Revision as of 23:42, 1 July 2020

The Vision of Escaflowne is a 1996 anime series produced by studio Sunrise and directed by Kazuki Akane. It aired in Japan from April 2, 1996 to September 24, 1996.

Fox Kids began broadcasting the series with an English dub produced by The Ocean Group in the United States on August 2000, but was later acquired by YTV to be broadcasted on their channel instead due to low ratings. The second episode aired on September 11, 2000. YTV later aired the entire series, including the first episode, on February 2001. Bandai Entertainment began releasing the dub on VHS in 2000, but discontinued it in February 2001 after only four volumes had been released.

At Otakon 2013, FUNimation Entertainment announced that they have acquired both licenses to series and the movie. A Kickstarter campaign was launched to re-dub the series using HD materials acquired from Sunrise, with a goal to raise $150,000. The dub was later released on October 18, 2016.
