Review:
Claus and Lavie are two young Vanship pilots who were doing their daily work by delivering a letter to Duke Mad-thane. Though it appears his Anatory fleet is in the heat of battle with the only other land civilization on the planet, the Disith. While it seems they would have won, they decided to break the rules, and the Guild, the unintended tyrannical government of the world, decide not to interrupt. With most of their ships damaged or destroyed, it seemed like the Anatory fleet was gone, but the infamous Silvana comes to their rescue, the strongest ship in the world. Claus and Lavie now find themselves travelling with the Silvana, protecting a young girl named Alvis, who the Guild so desperately wants in order to fully grasp a mysterious relic known as EXILE.
The story is so original, that when the plot starts to unfold, you can't stop watching it. Combine that with the most imaginative and creative setting released recently, you have a satisfying anime series engulfed in quality. Last EXILE is like the early 1900's put into the sky. The Vanships would represent simple scout planes that turned into fighter planes, and the warships would none other represenet the warships of the first World War.
The show combines anime drawn and computerized images to make some of the best visuals ever to come out of Japan. Some shows in the past attempted to combine the two, and often times look out of place, but you can never help think that Last EXILE would never be the same without its unique interface. Not to mention its awesome audio and music. The simple noises, such as a Vanships engines running, or the breathe of the Silvana, are so memorable. The music, such as the violin solo that is played every episode, fits the show very nicely.
GONZO is quite famous for having great productions, but lacking in essence and substance. Last EXILE is the show to change it all for GONZO. The cast is quite memorable, especially one particular character who's the brother of the Guild member in charge of everything, Dio. He's the typical "Royalty, but I prefer freedom" type of characters, but it's quite exciting to see him enjoy himself like he does in Last EXILE, and there's a touching story that starts to reveal near the end of the series involving his bestfriend, Luciola and him. But to get to the point, Last EXILE is a show astonishing in everything; from its amazing productions, to its awesome flight scenes, to the amazing story, this shouldn't go unseen!
My rating: 15 out of 10 (Brilliant)
