Oh yes. Keep an eye on Dilandau. At any rate, I liked Dilandau from the start, because there's just something about screaming psychotics that gets me. OTOH, any time a character reveals wings, the show comes this close to jumping the shark for me.
I'm going to have to re-watch the Escaflowne movie, which completely rewrites the story in the same way the Utena movie did, only with slightly more coherence, IIRC. I've only seen it once, in a fansub that had the translations in a font so tiny I had to squint to make it out. I bought the DVD special edition, but never botheed to watch it.
