Nice episode; it's good to finally see some more interactions between Fam's gang and the Silvius' crew - extra dashes of humanity that this series was needing. My only complaint, I suppose, was the sugary-saccharine tone was a little too pervasive and sentimental for my own tastes. I can never seem to get enough of Dio, however...

Anyways, it's good to finally see Vincent again; I wonder if he's still flag-shipping an Urbanus -- version 2, that is.

Other than that, kind of a meh episode, though the hockey game was a bit of random fun.

While the graphics may look better than the first last exile, the characters are terrible and boring. I'm sick of all these moe little girls.

Don't worry about it. Though you might remember him as being the ace military commander guy whom Alex had to take on at the Dragon's Fangs, with the ships with the saw-like blades before he later became an ally once

Loved the stuff connecting them to the crew, just like the in the first series it's been awesome watching the main characters become slowly accepted as part of the crew.

As I said on animesuki too, it's so awesome Dio's got a real position on the ship and is in charge of the vanship teams, absolutely loved that and where he talks about how he's done messing around now and has his place here on the Silvius, felt so good! I also really liked that they made Dio come off even better as they accounted for why he was mysteriously absent during last episode's attack where they were under heavy attack but he didn't launch with the others being because he wasn't on the ship. The mood of that little conversation was great and had a nice tone shift just like the show has been quite serious (outside of needed breaks like the hockey game) where Dio kinda makes a joke then realizes he feels like he should have been there to help when Alister says they wish he could have returned sooner.

Vincent's introduction sees him introduce himself as the leader of the Anatoray-Disith military so I'm also imagining he's got himself another badass ship :)

I dont dislike Fam and Giselle, but Dio definitely stole the show from them despite his limited screentime.

In particular, I like the way his character is being developed. Sure, he still retain his lax, eccentric demeanor, but at the same time he's also more mature and actually actively participates in the events.

So we have 2 sides...

South Federation Vs North Federation/Country + Anatoray/Disith .... (i am sure they will coop in the future even unwilling)


What i really love about this Season is that each side has each own fighting style ...

Federation battleships ...
Glacies Heavy fighters ...
Anatoray/Disith Carrier/Battleships ...


We just passed 1/3 of the 24 (as they say) episodes ... still long way to see clear what the scenario will bring :-)

Tho i am not happy with this episode seems like a filler ... or just small bits of explanations about old and current events.

eh. It was okay. some of it was good, some of it just so-so.

anshar - I didn't expect it to be a total loss, but neither did I expect that four grease monkeys and their carry kits could get it flying. Whatever.

Far more importantly, I want to know where Dio got those flowers! :)

VINCENT. HE'S BACK.

It appears we now have an official name under which the people of Prester have united: the United Kingdom of Anatoray-Disith. As Commander-in-Chief of the Vanguard Unit, presumably this means they are paving the way for the return migration for people of Prester. In a way, this is a retcon of the Last Exile ending because originally the Prester Exile was originally only carrying people who would start over in a peaceful society. But of course, with new settlements on different planets, security is still an important factor. You see this in other science fiction works like Avatar.

Thank you for bringing politics back into Last Exile, Gonzo.

It's a Rule in cinema that a character is not confirmed dead until you've seen the lifeless body and another character confirmed it was lifeless.

(which, of course, never rules out the possibility for resurrection, but I digress).

As for "Happy go lucky"... He's no where near as flighty as he was in the previous show - I see a big difference in his character. If nothing else, he simply is much more mature and appreciates much more what he has. His underlying personality is still there, it's just somewhat subdued, which is a relative term. He is "happy" where he is, with what he is doing, and with who he is with. Time heals, and it's been two or three years since the events of the previous show.

Take into account, there is a direct-sequel manga ongoing from the original Last Exile; I'm sure it will tell exactly how Antoray-Disith's current situation has come to be. Oh, and it's also telling exactly what happened to Claus, Lavi, Alvis, and more.

He snapped back to his pre-brainwash mode right after the whole Claus ignoring him part and well, at after that, it was pretty vague - it just showed his vanship sort of trailing off.

And yeah, like I mentioned in my previous post:

I suppose Anatoray (Earth) it is 2 years old, since 2 years have passed since their arrival. I'm trying to get the correct time-line xD.

I just like how the music regarding brotherhood is to Fullmetal Alchemist as the music regarding friendship is to Last Exile: Fam of the Silver Wing. And the funny thing is that both songs are done by different composers.

Seriously, this is the first time I was actually genuinely touched by the relationship between main female characters in an anime show (at least as far as I can recall). Nothing is forced about the scene, I already cared more than enough by the characters at this point, and there's no shoe-horning a moe gimmick to it.

Aren't they pretty good at hockey? Guess it is international sport in their world. haha
At least and in this case at last one more of Last exile's characters made his appearance, Vincent(o).
I hope he stays for few episodes, also I wonder how do they get into contact with United kingdom of Anatoray-Disith. If Vincent is Supreme Commander of UKAD vanguard they gt have a way to travel between colony and earth. Probably using Exile ship from 1st season ? ..

I think a breather episode is just what this show needed. To me, it’s been on break-neck speed since the beginning. Seeing Fam’s motivation for taking care of Millia did much to expand her character and make her more relatable. Gizelle as well received some much needed development after her random outburst at the end of last episode.

Tatiana’s crew in general is very lax and personable, which is such a change from how she was in Season 1. She really has calmed down quite a bit and become less distant, which is great. What I’ve always enjoyed about Last Exile was the relationship with the crew.

Vincent’s appearance at the end feels so familiar it hurts! Also makes me miss Alex. (I’m going to say this at the end of every episode.)

So the 15th ship was captured, but it was so seemingly easy to repair...Ades could've done it during the fall instead of abandoning the ship, I guess.

Damn, I hoped to see Alis play hockey too! Tatiana was good too though.

The thing about 16th ship actually came into play haha

Dio might very well be everyone's favorite character of Last Exile franchise, and the most popular one x)
