Tokyo Signals - Escaflowne - Fateful Confession
One year after Catnapped CAPTURED our hearts, another anime was dropped into the hell pit know as “The Fox Box”, and this one was… actually one that me and my childhood best friend and life long anime companion Nick never saw. Due to an unfortunate time slot, we were already outside and running around the forest with water guns by the time those SWEET Casio tunes would kick off the show’s intro. So sit back and enjoy the show, as me and my best friend talk about this anime!
Special Thanks to Chris Degl (https://twitter.com/DEGL_TOONS) for recommending this classic!
