Dilandau Albatou Fans
Are there any Dilandau fans out there?
I'm curious to know if anyone else has an interest in that flamboyantly macho assassin. I consider him one of the highlights of the Escaflowne series. He fulfills many relevant Jungian archetypes- if Van is the Hero, than Dilandau could be viewed as his Shadow, being both ruthless in conflict and empathetic in friendship (when he's Serena that is). Heck, Dilandau and Serena could be what Jung classified as "Syzygy", a pairing of contrasexual opposites, which symbolizes the communication of his conscious and unconscious mind. And Dilandau has the perfect Anima too- Serena, his anima, the feminine side of his personal unconscious. This is what makes Dilandau such a well-rounded, popular figure in anime, in my opinion; to his biggest fans he is really the inherent psychological memory of an observed phenomenon.

*points above*me!!!!
dont have that rational reasoning on him like you did for liking him.
no i like because he's bishie, insane, and a pyromaniac.
moero, moero!!!
Good, I'm not the only one who is partial to crazy characters. It must be the many times he just laughs like a maniac; I feel like doing that sometimes in public just to scare people.
Could someone send me a picture of Raphine, from the Escaflowne Playstation game, if they have one? I just heard about her and I wouldn't mind getting a game cel of her character one day, if I ever spot one on YJP, but I have no idea what she looks like. Thanks.
Fact you did not know:
August 8th (Dilandau's birthday) is the same day that
-President Nixon announced his resignation
-The Edge is born (U2's drummer), 1961
-Roger Federer, the world's current #1 tennis player is born, 1981
-Father's Day is held in Taiwan
and
-is the birthday of Mamoru Oshii, (Ghost In The Shell Director), 1951
I'll dig around and see if I have one. If not, I can always scan her in from my game guide^.^ It might be a little difficult to get a cel of her, since she only appears in one scene in the game.
