Actually, Hitomi's English voice was done by Kelly Sheridan. Not that I would care, because the English isn't that good compared to the Japanese.

Did you get the movie or one of the TV series DVDs?

Voice acting was descent, but its not on par with Grandia II, a great Dreamcast RPG( don't get the PS2 version unless you don't own a Dreamcast. if you own a Dreamcast get the Dreamcast version. the PS2 version is flawed). One thing to note it seems the main female Characters English voice actress might be Jenifer Hale, who was Elena from the Afore mentioned Grandia II. I may not know too much about Anime( with the exception of RPGs), but i will say this one is worth a try. I feel i got my money's worth and i might watch it some more times. Now since my selection is limited, i'll be getting "X" next.
Which Escaflowne did you watch? I just have the TV series, but I heard the movie was pretty good also, just aimed at a different audience. Same thing goes for X. There is a movie and a tv series.

Yeah, the movie has more emphasis on the action and is actually quite violent. The TV series has all the shojo mushy stuff.

I haven't seen the movie yet.

But I like the Series' mushy stuff. :mrgreen:
