I've seen a couple people say that they've wanted to get into Cell of Empireo, but were put off by the fact that there wasn't a complete English translation uploaded.

This channel has just uploaded a translation of all of the currently available games, from base game to Interlude. If you've been on the fence about starting something without a full TL, or if you've been intending to rewatch, now you can do so a lot easier!

[ESCAFLOWNE] Nobuteru Yuki’s flower illustrations meaning…

Flipping through one of my Nobuteru YUKI’s artbooks (Senshi Bankou), I stopped once again on his Escaflowne flower illustrations. For more a decade, I never asked myself why Yuki has drawn flowers around the characters. (I thought it was just a nice ornament.) It’s only recently I felt that - maybe - these flowers have a signification. So I made some research on flower language… And I saw these wonderful illustrations with a brand new eye ! [ DISCLAIMER : I’m French and I did some researches in my language. Maybe flowers have different meanings in other cultures, but it seems they have big similarities between japanese and french (so why not for others !). I found this exercice very pleasant and instructive. ]

HITOMI (Daisy flower)

This pretty white flower with a yellow heart evokes Innocence, Candour and Purity. Delicate and Feminine, it is the symbol of Youth, but also of Fidelity.

VAN (Purple Iris)

Iris flower has different meanings to different people and cultures. Here are some of its meanings: - Royalty - Confidence - Wisdom - Hope - Courage

MERLE (Sunflower)

The specificity of sunflower is to follow the sun’s path. In that way, sunflower represents unwavering Loyalty and Sincerity. It stands for Admiration and Praise.

ALLEN (Red Rose)

Emblematic symbol of Passion and Love. This love is both Deep, full of Longing and intense Desire. It is also the symbol of Devotion. But it can also represent Blood or a Wound.

MILLERNA (Pink Lily)

Symbol of Majesty and Royalty. Elegant and refined, the pink lily flower is associated with Purity and Beauty of Youth, but also with Rebirth, Dynamism and Passion. It’s also a symbol of Tenderness and Affection.

DILANDAU (Narcissus Flower)

Like the myth of Narcissus - in love with his own reflection - this flower symbolizes : - Vanity - Egocentricity - Self-satisfaction Depending on the culture, the Narcissus flower can also evoke Death.

FOLKEN (Black Tulip)

Symbol of intense, eternal Love that lives in Suffering. This love can be between two lovers or between family members. But the tulip can also evoke Forgotten or Neglected Love. It can then accompany the Loss of a Loved one. Thanks to its elegance, it also symbolises Royalty.

NARIA & ERIYA (Adonis / Pheasant’s Eye)

* also known as Fukujusō in Japan.

(Thank you @visarcana​ for finding the name of this flower !) In greek mythology, Adonis was an Aphrodite’s lover, killed by Artemis. Adonis flower evokes Heartache but also Melancholic Memories (a painful memory that we cannot get rid of). Fukujusō means in japanese: Fortune.

DRYDEN (Strelitzia)

* also known as Paradise Bird

The meanings of Paradise Bird flower are many : - Freedom. This flower is a symbol of freedom, like a free bird in the air. It reminds us to let go of our worries and embark on a new adventure. - Success and Excellence. - Optimism and Joy. It reminds us to always be cheerful and keep a smile on our face, no matter how difficult life gets. - Faithfulness.

VAN x HITOMI (Edelweiss)

Edelweiss can only be found on the steep peaks of the Alps. The climb to pick it is almost lethal. This flower is a symbol of Eternity. It expresses Purity and Deep Love. (In Tyrol land - Austria / Italy - a bouquet of edelweiss was given by the groom on the wedding day. This flower shows his Courage and Devotion to his beloved).
