Just thought I'd share some of this material with everyone.

I have to say, that airship looks pretty tight. All the crazy coil things in the back are nice, and I like the random tower in the front.

There are also some character sketches. Fam Fan Fan has a pretty cool steampunk getup there. Goggles, check. Crazy belts, check. Tons of random pockets, check.

I'm pretty excited for this. I hope it's a full-fledged series with a storyline as epic as the first series.

Haha... all of the main characters are lolis, pretty classy GONZO. Now I'm not expecting anything like the first season, but lolis are always a good thing in my book.

Seriously though, forgive me for being a pessimist... but I'd say the probability of this anime sucking is pretty high.

There may be a larger cast than what has been shown so far. The first Last Exile had a lot of characters, so perhaps this one will too.
But yeah, no telling how good it will be until it actually comes out.

A first look at the new Last Exile. It looks like the design and environment for the new series will stay similar to the old one, which is great. The last frame of the trailer seems to indicate that Exile will make an appearance here, which might mean this takes place years after the original series.

Interestingly the offical site lists Eri Kitamura returning to voice Tatiana Wisla from the original LE.
As it is directly stated that Silver Wing is set on a totally different world from the one in LE my bet is she arrives on the Exile, that is after Claus and the others traveled to Earth on Exile they started looking for other worlds that humans had settled (maybe Exile had a list of target worlds in its database?).
Its going to be fun to see what happens though if its like the first LE the answers wont be openly given until right at the end although there maybe clues earlier.
Summer cant come soon enough!!

After watching that snippet preview, I literally fangasmed. I like to say I'm mature and keep my composure over things, but that just made my frickin' day. And is it me...but was that Dio with the eyepatch??

I think I'm going to explode.

I like the backgrounds special effects and and the white haired man. I'm not sure about the girls yet; the character design and animation of these characters so far pales in comparison to the beautifully animated characters in the original.
I am glad Dio is in this series, points if he flirts with Mr Eyepatch.

So according to the updated character page from the official website, the characters in the trailer (in order of appearance) are: Fam, Jizel, Liliana(?), Luscinia (eyepatch man), Milia (in the center along with Liliana and another girl).

Aw man, I didn't know there was going to be something like that? Another anime? I feel so damn happy (last exile! Yoopi yay!) and heartbroken (another different series? Without my Lavi and Claus? T_T) Aaah.. still, I'm gonna watch this! >X|
And... watching this trailer, hearing this music I felt so nostalgic I cried.
Last Exile in 2011! Oh, God! Let us pray for something awesome!

Well.. I am not so hyped up... I will of course give it a watch based on the fact that I very much enjoyed Last Exile.. But... I mean showing characters like our Ace Tatiana as supporting ? I have to assume they are either having this take place on the 'new world' or in an alt universe because this isn't* a sequel . And she and the others are on the new world living quite peaceful lives by the end, unless exile is taking them back and fourth on a regular basis now. forgive the spoilers on a series from 2003 lol

I am so excited I am drooling. I'm not kidding. It's like Pavlov's Dogs over here.

I initially looked at the characters and was like, but there doesn't seem any hot guys that can compete with Alex Row? Luscinia looks like a pretty good start, though. Hopefully more to come. Seems to be a lot of guild people in this one from the look of things.

It has been announced today that Maaya Sakamoto will be singing the opening of the series which is being composed by School Food Punishment and Ryo Eguchi. I am excited about this.

Dear lord I can't wait for this. Last Exile was the first anime I ever saw (Pokemon does NOT count), and dear lord I loved every bit of it as a kid. Its still in my top 5 favorites of all time. Such a rich and wonderful universe.

new trailer


Honestly, I don't care if this season sucks (unless they really, really, REALLY botch it up), because that art looks beautiful, and what the hell is cooler than naval battles in the skies, or for that matter, a civilization revolving around floating ships, all with a STEAMPUNK theme?! Hell Last Exile had pod-racing in it!

Edit: I just saw the artwork for the flying machines and warships on that site... the layer of depth and detail on that stuff is truly godtier. My hopes for this anime just increased!

I'm realizing more and more the stark difference in Gonzo's approach in producing the new series. In comparing between the cast members of the old series and the new series, I noticed the original cast were heavily dependent on older men and women who had very established careers in voicing military and more mature characters or dubbing English films. The obvious exceptions were Saito Chiwa (Lavie), Kitamura Eri (Tatiana), and Hanazawa Kana (Holly Mad-thane), all of whom practically began their careers in these roles.

On the other hand, the new cast is very young and relies on some of today's most recognizable names in the anime industry who are often cast for leading roles. Others have pointed out that the new characters are dominated by females (which is not a bad thing). Those who viewed the first episode at Anime Expo have also noticed a more vibrant color palette used in the new art, especially when compared to the grays and browns of the old series.

Steampunk has usually been geared toward more serious viewers who are able to appreciate its historical and artistic elements. However, this time Gonzo may actually be able to bridge it to younger viewers who are seeking fun in their anime.

Pretty sure you can just watch this on its own, but Last Exile itself is quite worth watching. You also get to appreciate the three returning supporting characters.

It's not airing yet. My guess is winter 2011, or maybe a delayed october start.

That said, I hope they don't mess it up, the first one was really good.

I don't get why Dio and Tatiana is in this new Last Exile but Claus and Levi are not. It's not fair!!
