Because even the viewer doesnt understand you bastard, nevermind Van. God, the writing is so lazy on this show its unbelievable, especially considering how good the rest of the production is.

I try the English Dub and it was mediocre. Only 5 more episodes until I'm done with this awful series.

folken's motivation is to make a world where everyone can get their wishes a "Perfect" world, in his mind a world where nobody would need to fight cause they all have what they need. Van, however can not understand how all of this violence and killing can possibly lead to peace and happiness

It is not the writers fault your IQ is only 10. also if you don't like it are don't get why do you keep watching it?

The few last episodes haven't been the best ones, I need to put my logical sense away to fully enjoy it, but I still hope for a bad ass ending!
Also, we've seen the cat sisters in battle like about 3 times? They fled away each time... Oh well!

Hitomi has been stolen! ooooooooooooooo



But seriously this is boring. Can't wait to be finished this and move on to a more entertaining anime. Last time I watch an anime for nostalgia reasons.

Also, Folken could of had a chance to have an awesome threesome. But too late now.

(rewatching again)

Naria's and Ariya's luck has run out. Wonderful episode, as always.

But the burning question: Why was Hitomi carrying dishes?

Now that I think about it, Escaflowne could be a giant corruption of the phrases "if you believe hard enough, all your wishes will come true" and "be careful what you wish for."

Instead of simply wishing for good things to happen, anxieties can lead to the worst situations possible, as such a power wouldn't be so convenient as to only bring forth good fortune.

uhh so yeah why did the cat sisters leave Hitomi behind out of speinding all that time and energy trying to capture her for lord Folken...? And then Folken's like "Van why don't you understand [why I'm with Zaibach]" and then he's just like: "you Dornkirk you're wrong" and leaves. wat

Since a few episodes, it has been a real treat to visit the episodic threads. It's almost as entertaining as Escaflowne itself.

So it took the death of the cat girls to convince Folken that everything he has been doing is wrong?!!! What about all the lives he has taken already?! Folken make up your mind, is sacrifice necessary or is it not? This is so dumb! And just two seconds before that he was telling Van to understand. Van should have said "You killed our entire country and it wasn't a problem, but your cats die, and suddenly you switch sides? F YOU!"

2 episodes ago, a coin was flipped. Who was really the lucky one? (neither?)
1 episode ago, Hitomi tried to exchange one destiny for another, which backfired.
This episode, the intensified luck had an opposite reaction as well.

Folken mad his cat girls died.
He has always tried to avoid bloodshed (Operation Golden Rule of Love, where the generals just wanted to attack).

So they didn't get more luck, the cat twins traded their future luck for immediate luck?

Folken DID say the Fortune Blood was dangerous.

Apparently there was furry discrimination that ended in violence. Poor cat girls.

Folken was back talking Dornkirk because he's pretty pissed about the cat girls I think.

Almost the end of the show and Folken really is barely even a character still. He has functioned to send villains other than Guymelefs at the protagonists and...nothing else really? He still doesn't even have a clear motive as to why he betrayed his home country (that seems pretty much forgotten at this point in the show by the way) or what he's doing in Zaibach. They've given Zaibach a rather weak "controlling everything will let us overtake destiny and have perfect peace" motivation which could've been introduced a long time ago to give the early action some purpose other than Dilandau simply seeming like an evil creep with no goal. But Folken is involved for seemingly no reason.

Naria and Eriya... they were so cool it's so sad they end like this, subjects of a failed experience. Even though the overall story of the serie is full of bullshit, the characters and their relationship are pretty enjoyable
