Escaflowne (DVD)
About this item
The Vision of Escaflowne on DVD is one of the more sought-after anime box sets from the early 2000s DVD boom. The 1996 series blends mecha, fantasy, and romance in a way that still holds up — and the DVD releases captured it at a time when anime home video was transitioning from VHS to disc.
The Bandai Entertainment US release and the European Beez/Anime Ltd editions are the main versions in circulation. Complete box sets are the prize — individual volumes are common but tedious to assemble. Limited edition sets with art books or extras carry a significant premium. Out-of-print status keeps pushing prices up as supply dwindles.
Check for region coding — European players need Region 2 discs. Verify all discs and inserts are present. Some listings bundle the movie version (which was a heavily re-edited cut) with the series — the TV series is what collectors want.
