A complete VHS fansubbed set of The Vision of Escaflowne, with the first four episodes being SilverWynd's LD release, and the rest of the episodes being HECTO Fansub's infamous TV release. Some tapes have some interesting video glitches, especially Volume 2 during episode 5's opening. Volume 2 features an episode of the OVA Fairy Princess Rane subtitled by Tomodachi Anime after episode 8. Volume 3 is missing the first 10 seconds of the opening. Volumes 5-7 have commercials intact. Volume 7 features multiple Anime Music Videos produced by Maboroshi Studios, the first episode of 3x3 Eyes II by Central Anime + Oukami Studios, and ten minutes of the OVA [Black Lion](https://myanimelist.net/anime/1759/) subtitled by S. Baldric Studios (bootlegger) after episode 26. If you're looking for a slightly less crusty VHS release of Escaflowne, check out [VHS no Anime's collection of SilverWynd/Central Anime tapes](https://archive.org/details/silverwynd-vision-of-escaflowne-vol-1-ep-01-01-vhsrip) (although it's missing volume 1) or [SenshiFansubs' collection of various E. Monsoon (bootleg of Central Anime) tapes](https://archive.org/details/escaflowne-vhs-fansubs). But if you want to see true fansubbing of 1996 as discussed by [random Usenet users](https://groups.google.com/g/rec.arts.anime.misc/c/1_nj_QGqSxE/m/syAg279weiAJ), [this beautiful website from 1998](https://community.fortunecity.ws/lavender/godfather/104/esca.htm), and other people of the time, this is the release for you. This is probably some of HECTO Fansub's most nonsensical work, and is an insight into what people desperate to watch Escaflowne were willing to try to put up with. The screenshots provided are only a small sample of what you get with this release, I did not include some of my own to try to keep the screenshot count to a reasonable amount, and I'm sure there are even more incredible lines that I did not find in my initial searches. Also I know I got the show title slightly wrong in the filenames, my non-excuse is that the tapes all just had "Escaflone" written on them something something card captor sakura season 3 fansub magical girl sometthing
