Explanation: Escaflowne was in development for over five years before its broadcast debut in 1996 April, before Evangelion was conceived.
In fact, Shoji Kawamori conceived of the early plot for Escaflowne about the same time Gainax and director Hideaki Anno were still working on [Nadia:] The Secret of Blue Water (and before the certification of Anno's depression which Anno cites as his partial inspiration for Evangelion).
Escaflowne was never intended, by Kawamori at least, as a "response" to Evangelion.

Hitomi is so incredibly unlike anyone else in the series that she truly feels like she was plucked from Earth and placed in the magical world of Gaea.

 Escaflowne Review at Animetique.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Vision of Escaflowne is a wonderful fantasy anime about a girl from Earth named Hitomi and her adventures on the mysterious world of Gaea.
Almost as soon as she gets there, Fanelia is destroyed by mechs called Guymelefs but she and Van are able to escape in Escaflowne, Van's legendary Guymelef powered by the heart of the dragon he slew.
One of the many elements Escaflowne has going for it is it's incredibly fleshed out characters.
