| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Fam~ So cute Sleep walking and falls down the ship XD Dio sings the happy birthday song =D Still love the 3D animation |
 |
| She is indeed cute, she even took of her clothes in sleep. She probably dreamed about when she enter the shower, that what I call a bad sleep. She would dead right now if it wasn't for the rope. :D Good voice actor! Nice Animation :P I hate to wait for another week :) |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| References to first series: 1. When we first see Dio looking up at the sky, Exile is just arriving some time after it departed from Prester. Dio says to himself while looking at it, "It seems you've also returned -- to the place where all are born and where all will return. A blue world." That line is the final Mysterion which was entrusted to House Hamilton. 2. When Dio pilots the Turan royal cruiser, he compares Milia and Liliana to Sophia, who is also of royal blood. From the OP sequence, Alvis Hamilton (voiced by Hanazawa Kana) makes an appearance, as shown according to her new character design from the official website.  There's one person who hasn't been identified in the OP sequence as well.  Liliana seems to have met Luscinia as a little girl. I'm sure that will have some significance down the road. Their segment in the OP sequence hints at a bloody incident, with a symbolic image of Liliana being crucified on a sword-looking cross. There's also a strange image of Luscinia and the five generals of Ades. Who is clinging to Luscinia's body?  I can't wait until everything is revealed. There is so much potential with this story! |

| OP and ED were magnificent visually. No complaints here. Musically, the ED was better; it felt just like the old Last Exile ED. I kinda wished they had kept with the original group that did the music for the first OP. I mean, the original Last Exile OP is the best OP ever. The soundtrack so far keeps the original feel from Last Exile. Nice and folk musicy, as well as epic orchestras in battle. Does anybody know if Dolce Triade is doing the soundtrack again? I watched it raw, and although I understood little of what they said, it felt just like the old Last Exile. Seeing Dio piloting a vanship again made me so happy. Oh man, I can't wait until subs and next week. I'll edit this post upon seeing it subbed. MY FAVORITE ANIME IS BACK! |

| I prefer the old OP of Last Exile. Love the scene with Tatiana and Alister in the op. It reminds me with scene of the old op, where Sophia was giving orders. Glad that my favorite anime ever is back. I need to hear more "Immelman turn!" "May the fair winds be with you" I watched it raw as well, and understood it, except for scenes where people talk in military/pilot language |

| I managed to watch this episode yesterday via Animax Asia.... 5/5 for this |
 |
| hello my fellow animax viewers! LOL just wondering.. animax said that Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam premiered last night just a few hours after it was aired in japan, but according to MAL it was already aired last july 2. i'm a bit confused. @_@ |
 |
| OMG, no fansubs? I think I'm gonna go crazy! |
 |
| The only subs I've seen are Russian subs so far... seriously, has that even happened before? Non-english subs getting there first? |
Zeream said: The only subs I've seen are Russian subs so far... seriously, has that even happened before? Non-english subs getting there first? yes. Persona 4's french subs come out earlier. |
| Raging because nobody is picking this up to sub, and I'm in the UK so can't watch it on the Funico stream. US and Canada only. |
 |
| 1. I don't speak Russian 2. Persona 4 is oversubbed (And overhyped, thus overrated) 3. Its already a week after the 0 ep and 2 days after 1st ep 4. Why something like Maken-Ki!, C^3, etc2. Are getting more attention than this? 5. From this point on, its really hard to keep my ming goes sane. |
|
| This is simi-cast? Are they streaming this on some site like funimation or something? |

AddleBoy said: This is simi-cast? Are they streaming this on some site like funimation or something? it out now but ya .. I like the other better and i wonder what happened to most of the oeters and that and why is dio living wiht thse sky pirates |
 |
| Very strong first episode, I have to say I enjoyed it. And oh god, the nostalgia it brings! Seeing some familiar faces from the first series of Last Exile just made me smile. Having Hitomi singing the ending theme in a similar fashion to the first ending was really a great touch. I am really looking forward to how thiis will progress. So many big personalities already and connections between characters, it really makes you think. I have high hopes for Ginyoku no Fam, Last Exile is my all time favorite series and I hope this one does it justice. |
| Whine-Subs is out for those waiting for subs |
 |
| It was very similar to the first Last Exile to the point of almost complete rip-off (cough, the ED, cough...). However, the music is weaker and the characters/script are less interesting for now with a cruel lack of drama and suspense (despite the fact that there's a war going on and ships blowing everywhere, it doesn't really seem to matter to the characters involved and the direction is far too fast to put any emphasis on anything in this first ep). Still, kudos to the ever so great Last Exile ambiance, general design, references to the first series and of course... Dio ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| About some things mentioned by above poster. Indeed the opening music is awful. Claus had different occupation, a courier and still was able to dodge all the fire from sylvana. That sounds pretty ace to me. Fam is still overshadowed by Dio in this regard. Tatiana was already in one opening scene ( with her navi i assume ).And im pretty sure Alex is dead. It bothers me how much Sawashiro Miyuki there is everywhere all of sudden. Also, dont you think they were quite generous for Dio and Luciola ( as I assume ist Luscina ) to survive falling out of their vanship in grand stream. |

| Oh my god this brings back nostalgia! I really liked the first episode, looking forward to the rest. Seems like it'll always be subbed a bit late due to the only subgroups doing the anime are probably using the simulcast subs which stream 3 days after the initial airing as at least a base for their own subs. |

| Oh gosh, I absolutely adored the first Last Exile series, and this was a magnificent compliment to it too. I think GONZO finally redeemed themselves. |
| Why is everything I didn't plan on watching turning out pretty good... This looks like it could be a really good series, really enjoyed the animation. The OST seemed really good too, just a bit confused on a few parts of the story so far, but it'll probably get cleared up soon. The main character seems to be female, a refreshing change from the usually cliche male lead for this type of anime. Will have to see where this heads. Oh right, I have no experience with the original Last Exile, so I don't have a basis for contrasting between them. As it's own, it's pretty good so far. |
 |
| :D finally |
 |
| I loved Last Exile, but this was for the most part boring. It was cool to see Dio again... perhaps it will get better. |
 |
| Bit flashy for an opening, but I like it never the less. Fam physically reminds me of Lavie and her role of Claus. The new cast was very cliche orientated, we have a clusmy boy, tsundere, a tomboy etc... It couldn't grasp the same feeling "Last Exile" had. The side characters are teenagers, who sound bit annoying, where Last Exile has older mechanic men, who were more entertaining with their antics and personalities. Will continue to watch further, hope it have a melody feeling like the prequel. |
 |
| It looks like Funimation is providing subbed streaming too. http://www.funimation.com/lastexile-fam-the-silver-wing/episode/open-file/sub I wasn't expecting to see Dio; I thought that the characters would be all new. Looking forward to seeing what bad stuff the bad guys are up to. |
| As someone going in Not knowing anything about this show besides it has planes in it. girl sleep walking falls in to the sky with 6 moons?! Nice art. OP notices Gonzo is doing this! and on top of it it's School for punishment (there quite busy this season) >3 War is breaking out between two nations and sky pirates are helping one of them this seems like it could make for a good plot so let's see. |

masserati94 said: @arsonal Something tells me that the unidentified character might end up being Tatiana,or someone like that anyway if Alvis is in (in her absolutely moe-tastic new appearance, though I'm not complaining seeing as that makes her look all the more adorable) then Tatiana may also appear. Who knows, if that happens then maybe Claus, Lavie and Alex will appear. Tatiana and Alister appear elsewhere in the OP, therefore it can't be her. Alex has already died at the end of the first series, so he is not likely to appear. However, Claus and Lavie are in the Last Exile sequel manga, so there's still a chance those two could appear. |
| I only remember few scenes from the original Last Exile so I can't really compare both. But anyway, I find the first episode really enjoyable. The OP was catchy to me and the ED was ok. The storyline seems interesting. Edit: This was a sequel??? I thought it was an alternate series. O_o Although my memory of the original series is kinda hazy, will still watch this. :D |

| Its finally starting!! /nerdgasm |
|
| Ugh, I dislike this very much. It may have the same setting and and theme, but the style seems to different from the original series. Maybe it's because I watched it dubbed and it changed the style, but damn if it did, the dubbed version was better. I hope this series warms up to me. |

I just add that I feel like I've just been shit on. It's official this first episode proves that creativity has completely died in anime. I actually went back and watched the first episode of the original series to confirm that I wasn't tripping. But sadly I'm not. Chigira, Kouichi has completely compromised his original work and he should be really ashamed of himself right now for creating these unimaginative, regurgitated, cliché characterizations. The amount of Lolita fanservice alone almost makes me believe he really thinks very little for his work anymore. Please someone tell me that he has actually been replaced by an android designed to make the same stupid shows over and over again. I seriously don't see how anyone could compare this to the original series creativity, which slowly developed the characters and skillfully introduced the plot to viewers in a well paced and organized methodology. I see none of that here. |
| I was pretty skeptical about watching this... Didn't want to see one of my fav series being ruined with all that loli... BUT I must say I enjoyed the 1st ep. The graphics were beautiful (hopefully they keep it up) They brought back Dio. Even though he appears to have become even more fem (christ) but he's still his same old crazy self. I'm a happy camper. -- ^wrote that response right after completing the ep... I think mainly I was happy to see Dio was alive and excited to see the new antagonist.... though I'm sure this (happy wooo Dio is alive look at him be awesome) feeling is going to wear off soon... and I will dislike this series... -- |

| Ahhh, that was beautiful and good. There wasn't a moment i felt like nothing was happening. I like it so far. |
