it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

For some time now, this series which has led to a second season has been nothing more than grand. A girl named Fam, who loves to race, as well as scavenge for battle ships using what is known as Vanships. During an early part of the world's history, a weapon was used to stop a war on earth which then made it a one sided victory. A small land called Turan is on the brink of war between fascists and Turan itself. But in between is Fam, who along side her is a long standing best friend who is her navigator during race time, or pirate time. Yet both work in such Synchro,that it seems nothing can touch them both. In the second season, an episode which leads the viewer to war is episode 12. Where Fam is still seven years old with her best friend. The race is supposed to unite all on the world leading to peace, but in the dark corners of revenge, assassins carry out their plot and wipe out Queen Augusta, leader of all who in the back of her mind is uneasy by this new peace treaty. With her death, a new page of history is written and a full scale war is in the mold for first strike. This series, is a fresh look on family, friends, foes, and whoever else might be in the way of dreams. It captivates, keeps you sitting on the edge of your seat, brilliant music, and breathtaking flight scenes. It's a story of hope, despair, sadness, laughing, crying, and an idea to break free from the horrors of war. Fam is the light to all, and those who know her, only her abilities can bring back the hope people have lost. Especially when a deadly weapon is used once again on Turan. Wiping it clean off of the map. A must see series, highly recommended to this show and the second season, The Last Exile - Fam - The Silver Wing.

Last Exile is a masterpiece through and through.The most attention drawing aspect of this series is its incredible animation. It mixes 2d animation with 3d CGI almost perfectly and delivers an explosive, in-your-face presentation that can only be rivaled by feature anime films like Blood: The Last Vampire.The story behind Last Exile is interesting and emotional. The characters are lovable and their interactions are genuinely enjoyable and surprisingly human. The setting is steampunk inspired and meticulously detailed.Overall, one hell of a ride, and easily the best anime I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. This is a must see for not just fans of anime, but fans of excellent storytelling and entertainment in general.

This show simple as a story goes really does shine against a lot of television from any part of the world. Rescent and old.It's timeless animation that I can see in 15 years time still being rather awe inspiring.The music is amazing. Why do the OST's have to be so hard to get? Dolce TRiade is amazing and for the artist first score I think it's an great achievement.The story is very special. It's full on from the get go and not a second is spared.At first I hesitated to buy this show and got the box on a whim. I was kind of skeptical after the first disc but as I bought them all I was never regretting the purchase.I may be paid to influence people to but but "gto people" buy this because you will not regret it.

Last Exile is a unique piece of art. The show showcases the events in a (fantastic and very original) world almost torn apart by fully organized battles gone wrong. The animation is top-notch while the dramatic score really moves you in on the action scenes, which, as intense as they can get, really have more than just an ordinary conclusion to them. I simply loved the way characters were introduced and how they all developed over the episodes. In fact they developed well even over the course of one episode. Plus the dialogue isn't just rubbish to rush the plot along, but rather it is well-crafted and thought provoking during several conversations. Overall this anime series really goes to show what you can achieve by putting together wonderful characters and story to match with its great, almost epic, animation (which is the best I've seen in any anime to date). Score: 10/10
