Follow Your Nose
At Sakura Con in Seattle, WA earlier this year, someone asked Escaflowne’s character designer Nobuteru Yuuki if he’d ever seen a little fan parody called Nescaflowné:
Press: Have you seen the fan edit of the Escaflowne movie titled Nescaflowne, and how do you feel about people playing with your designs and spoofing them and whatnot?
NY: I have not actually seen that movie, but would be very interested in doing so. but generally I am not a character designer who feels the need to have complete control over everything I draw. If fans create something like a doujinshi or cosplay, or even fan dubs I feel that in a way it shows how well liked my characters are. So I generally like to see people enjoying my designs.
