Escaflowne The Abridged Movie (part 1)

Escaflowne is owned by an awesome company who, if I include their name in the description will probably see to it that this video is banned, but never the less, you owe it to yourself to go and see it at least once.

Seriously...

Well, O.K it's not THAT good, but the soundtrack is done by Yoko Kano. That's worth the price of admission.

This is by way of being a response to HBI2K's fundraiser one-shot. I always wanted to do something with escaflowne at some point but he beat me to it. This seems like as good an excuse as any to use some of those ideas though so hey, what the hell.

Cast in order of Appearance:

Boss Trigger: Black Dragon Recruiting Add Voice over actor.
ShazMyBot: Slender Denim and Gene
Xerostyle: Sir not appearing in the opening credits (Sorry Xero)
Revy Moonshine: Hitomi Bitchzaki
Sam the Greek: Train driver and Aide to general Merciless De-Warcriminal

@Unwardil This is amazing. This is my first time seeing your stuff and I'm pretty much in love. Do you write professionally?

[Unwardil]

@FluffyBenladin

Glad you enjoyed it and to answer your question, no. I've flirted with the idea of writing a novel before but I generally get 100 page in and then decide that I don't like it any more or that it's becoming more complicated than I wanted or that what I really would prefer to be writing is an HBO mini series or something like that. Someday, maybe, but not yet. For now, it's amateur parody videos all the way.

[Rinrinluvsya]

wats the name of the elf lady? i mean rlly i watched this like a week ago and i remember all of the names except hers!

[Unwardil]

@Rinrinluvsya

I think it's Vari. I was likewise confused, hence her more descriptive naming in my version.

[Fendo5k]

I love this movie is one of my favorites (the nº 1 along with the series actually), don't know why people hate the plot and character desing :(

and I love what you do here, can't wait for part 2 *subscribe*

[Unwardil]

Well, the reason people don't like it is because it doesn't explain it's self at all. And that would be ok if the dialogue was better and gave a little more room for interpretation.

The theme of the movie is excellent, that those who put too much stock in destiny are doomed to be ruled by it, is great. Execution, especially in terms of Folken's character is poor.

I dont get the hating on the character designs either, I love the movie's visuals and glad you liked my little thing here.

[barashnykov]

Can't imagine Dilandau being voiced by someone else. Kaiser is awesome.

"we're just here for the girl"

"a tempting offer"

"...but I didn't offer you anything"

"i know"

you have no idea just how much i laughed at that

[thecastorbean]

whats with the begining.....

[gigglesilly17]

Kinda sounded like Jerry getting murdered up there xD LMFAO!!!

[tsktsk161]

what the weird voice and sound >,<

[CognizantCheddar]

@Unwardil

George R. R. Martin tried unsuccessfully for 20 years to break into TV or movies, before he finally got HBO to buy into the Song of Ice and Fire.

So, uh, got a ways yet to go there, dude.

[CognizantCheddar]

Anyway...

Why exactly did you guys decide to go with someone VOICING the movie's sound effects, instead of just using the movie's sound itself?

Is it supposed to be funnier this way?

[CognizantCheddar]

Oh wait, I'm dumb. I see a few known names on the cast now. Nevermind!

[CognizantCheddar]

Hey. This is pretty decent. Didn't recognize the account as being one of the guys in the TFS crowd, so I had it figured as one of the crappy Abridged attempts on youtube.

But this voice-acting is pretty good, the recording quality is excellent, and the writing isn't bad.

[natalyaknife91]

Dude. You're a god. This is awesome.

[t260y]

I always like the character/mech designs more int he movie, but only fma had a good movie since it went off from there.

[Kaiwockam129]

loved the use of the band of brothers theme
