My opinion echoes Shinichiro Miki's. Escaflowne is awesome!

The Vision of Escaflowne is one of my favorite anime! Really, it's one of the few good fantasy anime. And that soundtrack, wow.

My first favorite anime that I didn’t discover via Toonami. It’s criminal that you can’t legally stream it in the US currently.

The BD boxset is still in print and it's best to just buy a physical copy.

I thought the headline was saying the upcoming film "28 Years alter" was trending alongside Escaflowne in Japan. lol

You know I'd love to see an updated anime of Escaflowne like Fruits Basket did, maybe more along the lines of the same anime style of the movie.

But gosh it's been 28 years already since it first aired ..wow.. I still love watching it again and again.

JPEGmafia sample of the OP and a clip of Van getting into escaflowne from the movie making the rounds on completely unrelated social media might be culprits. Episode 1 podcast used some tracks from it for their anime satire thing. GoodSmileCompany did some models. All these somehow turn into a whirlwind.
