Escaflowne

You have now reached the mystic world of Gaea, where fantasy and action awaits you. Mole people and cat-girls are commonplace in a world of ancient monarchies and empires. Dragons still roam freely in the skies and in the forests; however, knights and kings are forced to protect their lands from the invading enemies. With growing chaos erupting from all over this previously peaceful world, a girl from "Earth" will find the courage to embark on a delirious adventure to restore the balance.

Hitomi Kanzaki is just your average 15-year-old girl who goes to school, runs track, plays with tarot cards, and has a crush on the captain of the boy's track team. One night as she runs on the track, a ring of light appears and whisks her away to another world... Gaea. Here, the Earth and moon hang in the sky, Earth being known only as the "Mystic Moon". On Gaea Hitomi meets Van Fanel, king of the lands of Fanelia. As the Zaibach Empire's treachorous forces appear, the king wants to stay and fight, but he is forced to escape with Hitomi and his life-long friend, Merle. Eventually, Fanel finds allies from various sources, the first being Allen Schezar and his followers. Only together do they stand a chance of defeating the Zaibach Empire for the entire world of Gaea.
