Like a lot of people I think that Escaflowne is one of the damn best animations ever created-both series and movie. Is there anything out there that is on the same scale/level? Any other japanese animé that any of u can recommend, and in your opinion comes close to escaflowne in terms of its atmosphere, profound thought etc?
sharein animation terms there is nothing like escaflowne, but the manga really sucks
but in other ambits there is:
-Berserk: an amazing Manga that have a great anime version but incomplete, also have a DreamCast Game called Sword of Berserk: Guttz Rage that is related with the manga but not appear in this, a kick-ass PS2 game that narrated a part of the manga
-Lodoss Saga: anime first: Record of Lodoss War, Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, Lodoss Island (a SuperDeformers special XD) and long list of Mangas stories
Escaflowne is one of the most unique anime series ever created. There is nothing that has ever been made like it before in the genre of anime. However if you enjoyed this series you might also enjoy Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, and anything that Hayao Miyazaki has made.
shareShut up about cowboy bebop, stupid person.
Anyone want a donut?
Arjuna... not to similar story. But you mensioned thought.
I love Esca for its deep thinking and Arjuna has this strenght too^-^
Have u ever felt the fighting presence of another?

I'm surprised no one has suggested "Ghost in the Shell" and "Metoroporisu" (aka "Metropolis" made in 2001 by director Rintaro). Also, as another poster mentioned, anything by Hayao Miyazaki, particularly "Castle in the Sky."
shareSpriggan & Princess Mononoke
both good drawing, sound, thought provoking, etc
