Vision of Escaflowne, yes.

Not even close. A guymelef is 8 meters tall - about 26 feet. The guymelefs shown there are about four times taller than the people in front of it - measure it yourself. So yeah. Nowhere near 100 feet. They'd have to appear to be twenty times taller than the bystanders for that to be possible.

Then the perspective is deceiving. The people look a lot farther away than they are.
As an artist, you blaming the perspective greives me, you sweinhund.

You're talking to a pair of artists here. This is the sort of thing we've put study into.
And nice, try and brush it off as 'completely trivial' when you've been proven incorrect. Cute.
I could not let that ignorant comment pass, sorry.
Due to the... artistic liberties taken with anime legs, without seeing the feet one cannot accurately position the characters in the foreground, in relation to the background. Perspective is an incredibly tricky thing. If you can see the feet, you can make a correlation between a known height and the distance on the ground, based on the horizon line.
Without that correlation, you can't precisely figure out the distance, only estimate it on your perception of what heights should be.

Every source I've ever found, stretching back 8 years (including official artbooks - also known as, official sources), state 8 meters as the typical height.
And yes, to judge precisely you need to know the location of the feet. However, even with screwy anime proportions it's not difficult to estimate where they are, especially since you can see where at least one of their knees are.

I'd blame the angle, too. Especially with those fences on the sides.
It's actually a pretty straight-on angle, you can clearly see the horizon line at the eye level of the bystanders.

I do believe you won't find an instance of me disagreeing with your figure of 8 meters, will you? That was the only thing you've factually proven, so no, I did not call myself being wrong based admittedly on a foggy recollection, 'trivial'.
I called your srs bizness double team of my assessment of perspective as something trivial.

There is pomp because there is nothing to remind for that which I do not know in the first place. Where do you assume I knew a damn thing about you or would care to know?
And arguing the stylistic nature of anime proportions is not an argument that debunks my own subjective analysis. Seeing as you too do not know the exact proportions either, it just happens to be that in your estimation the feet come out a lot closer to the main subjects than they do in mine.

Exactly.
