For me it's hard to pinpoint this one. The character design for the series and the movie is vastly different. I've seen some other artists such as Masaki Tanaka and Hiroshi Osaka credited for some illustrations from the series.

Your thrifting adventures are still the best on this side of the planet!😁

It's not a particularly expensive game. The PAL version CIB goes for around €50 these days or cheaper if you're lucky. I could have got it some years ago for way less, but let it pass.

I was thinking of buying this day one since I don't have the PS1 original, but I think I'll hold for a while.

Thank you! I get the exact same feeling after finishing a cleanup, it just feels right.

Oh, I know your pain when it comes to hand-patching, especially when there's small details. But in the end the result is always worth it!

I saw that one for the first time when I was going through channels on my TV (something I haven't done in ages), caught it right in the beginning, and really enjoyed it. Gotta rewatch it sometime soon.

My 360E is currently on the fritz (probably the console itself or the power supply) but I did enjoyed these a lot before that happened!

Escaflowne clean artwork by Nobuteru Yuki most likely featured on DVD releases and collectible stickers books. Image depicts busts of Van Fanel and Hitomi Kanzaki, where the bust of guymelef Escaflowne can be seen further to the right. To the center the pendulum Hitomi uses can be seen in motion with a slight sparkle.

Hello good people of BlueSky! Here's an odd request: I need a good clean scan of this cover and also the reversible side to make a western cover since this particular collection got shafted. So if any caring soul is willing to help, I'd appreciate it!

Oh! This is even better. I guess third time's the charm (I had already cleaned up the previous one you shared).😅

I'll hold until the game drops. Seven minutes seems like too much for a trailer.

Ah, such a good game! It's a shame it never got an official translation but I guess the fan translation is suitable enough in my book. I'd also love to see a modern remake with the style they used for Link's Awakening on Switch.

Thank you so much! I'll do a v2 using this one which is much, much better.

That would be great if you don't mind! I couldn't find any scans better than the one I used from the Launchbox website.

It also really helps to read people's feedback to improve on some areas regarding this hobby! So I thank all those who drop me a line.

Here's a less saturated version of this piece. I should start comparing some scans with other sources since sometimes this happens.😅 But in some cases, there's really no good scans of some pieces for me to compare.
