Escaflowne used to be on fox a few years back, it was the single anime that got me hooked to Japanese cartoons. After one episode I loved it. But then it got canceled after nine episodes because of bad ratings.(FOOLS!!!!) And don't count on seeing it on TV any time soon, unless you live in the UK. Because Fox has rights to the series until 2005.
But about purchasing it, go for it. I just bought the first DVD yesterday and I love it. Both the jap voices and American voices are well done, the story is awesome, and the character development is really cool.
It's considered one of the greatest fantasy animes ever made, right next to Record of Lodoss War. And it was from the creator of Macross Plus. If that helps at all.
