Sora lyrics[edit]

The following has been moved to this discussion:

Though it could be based on ancient Romanian.^[1]

# ^ Sora Lyrics Romanian Language Lessons

These lyrics were not translated from the spoken lyrics, but from the Japanese rendering provided by the creators. The creators themselves have not said that the song is based on ancient Romanian — this is fan speculation.Egan Loo 05:51, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PSP[edit]

If someone wants to work this in somewhere, this is one of the titles that has been released in UMD for the PSP. Highlandlord 00:38, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you could find the UMD release date I will put it into the infobox no problem. Tani unit 00:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to Barnes & Noble, this title was released in UMD format on November 8, 2005. [2] It would be really great if the remainder of the unsourced statements within this article could be resolved as well, especially those in the introductory paragraph.

I'll work the date into the infobox. I would like to give this article a major overhaul (expansion rather) so you guys are welcome to help with expanding and sourcing it. I'm afraid I don't have much time to do it on my own. Tani unit 11:50, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

'A Girl From Gaea'?[edit]

There's no mention in the article about the subtitle: "A Girl from Gaea". Since this may be the title that some people use for a search, some mention should be made of it: is it in the original Japanese? or is it a fan-subbers' creation or used for the US relese only? CFLeon (talk) 20:54, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't used in any of the official releases that I've seen, including the US ones. So may just be a fan-subbers creation. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 22:16, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Escaflowne the Movie: A Girl in Gaea (Japan) (working title) [3] 87.78.3.205 (talk) 13:20, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And? IMDB is not a reliable source as it is a user-edited site. Further, working title means it was only possibly used during production, which makes it irrelevant. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 14:47, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Origin[edit]

And, what the hell, dude - yes, yes Escaflowne is a popular series. Director Kazuki Akane has gone on record saying that the entire reason the Escaflowne Movie was produced was because the sales of the DVDs in the West willed it into being. The film officially premiered at Anime Expo, while the print was literally still wet from the lab. It's not in the same league as Cowboy Bebop, but Escaflowne certainly sold well for Bandai through pretty much their entire existence - from the pretty clamshell VHS tapes when Bandai Entertainment was still "Anime Village," until the latter days when they were packaging entire series' together in cheap DVD boxed sets. Ah, the halcyon days.
