Beautiful, incredible, wonderful, except..............2004-07-12
This is the only show I will watch on repeat. I don't have this particular edition of Last Exile, but if you're considering watching it and you like well animated anime with strong characters and a decent story then you must see it.
Although the show has one or two flaws, and is probably not the best anime show ever, it's certainly my favorite. Flaw number one, the story is slow to get off the ground, and the first few episodes are immensly slow and uneventful. This nearly put me off entirely. But once you've seen the entire thing, the dull character-building at the beginning is well worthwhile.
Flaw number two would contain spoilers, and concerns the very end. Let's say I'm puzzled as to the reasoning behind certain events in the finale. This upset me, but hasn't put me off at all, overall.
But despite these things, I can't help watching the show over and over, I love it. The action sequences are stylish and unique, the characters (Dio!) are some of the best ever (for me anyway). The whole thing takes me to another place, the values covered are ones I can understand, the characters are ones I can believe in.
Anime ain't cheap, and this is no exception. You need the full series (26 ep) if you're going to watch it, but if you have to skip one or two, take them from the beginning....
Not a show for the impatient, but full of beauty.
