Mid-show report on Escaflowne.

It's pretty good so far. I like the presentation a lot. But I'm not totally on board. I don't see a clear goal for the story or the characters so far, so I really hope that the show starts to develop a more focused narrative.

Also, and this may just be a cultural clash between 90's Japan and modern America, but the show feels kind of sexist. The show very heavily emphasizes traditional gender roles in that a man's job is to fight and protect their women, and a women's job is to support and love them. I only mention it because the show seems very explicit in establishing that, and because there's not a single example to counter it. I'm not gonna decry the show because of it, but it has remained an itch in the back of my mind pretty much the entire time.

But I do like it overall. It has a great sense of style, between the presentation of Hitomi's visions and the varied cultural aesthetics between the different nations of Gaea.

Edit: Oh, did I mention this show has come loving incredible music? It has some loving incredible music.

i don't think the show is sexist so much as Gaea is your typical medieval fantasy setting with that level of sexism. your main female characters of Hitomi and Millerna both spurn aspects of traditional gender roles and contribute to the story's forward motion/the party's success, just in non-combat roles. the fact that they are non-combatants can be a sticking point, but then you're toeing another dimension of sexism so i'm honestly fine with where things ended up. and as you say, the show is two decades old, so you could account for things based on that.

Netflix's Tiger and Bunny censored all the logos from the super suits, fwiw
