Not at all? More than half the episodes have Guts slaying... not hundreds of enemies, at least
. The plot is very cool and is much more about Griffith political schemes than Guts bloodbathes, really.
About Hitomi: realistic? A real girl, in that case, would piss in her pants, she wouldn't be that annoying lass that is chasing afetr her real worlds look-alike lover. And I'm not talking about the depressed movie version
I like VoE because of the rather interesting plot, and the musics from Yoko Kanno ( the crucial moment is that scene when the escaflowne turns into the dragon form for the first time and flyes toward the moutains in the background, with that awesome background music - Dance of Curse, the last few seconds - then I knew I'd love that series ). But I've seen so many seriesthat I temper my enthousiasm now, VoE is not the best thing I've seen, really.
From the same authors, you should try Heat Guy J, it's very cool, and you US people already have a DVD edition of it ( my bro buys the DVDs, that's how I'm watching that ).
