Comment on [Clip] Mecha Battles in a (Mostly) Pre-CG World - Vision of Escaflowne

I loved Vision of Escaflowne back in the day. (In 2006 I rated it 9/10 apparently.)
I wonder how it would hold up if I were to watch it today.

To me, the story felt like it narratively wandered a lot compared to modern works. If the show were made today, I suspect that it wouldn’t have spanned 26 episodes, but would have been trimmed quite a bit. Sometimes I enjoyed the diversions, and sometimes I was just wondering why we were focusing on this or that character. I do think it is better than a lot of other shows from its time though. I think it has proven more memorable than a lot of other 90’s shows I have watched and then completely forgotten about.
