Last Exile Is Awesome!!!

I think her name is Tabitha. The stuck-up wing commander.

thanks all, i will have to pick this one up. It like of reminds my of Steamboy (by the maker of Akira).

Last Exile came before Steamboy.

I think it's rather interesting that in both Last Exile and Gungrave they have giant
racing chickens.I wonder if that might be a hint that Gungrave might take place on the same planet later on in the time line.Or did the same people make LE and Gungrave and stick the racing chickens in as a injoke in Gungrave.

Actually Gungrave is made by Madhouse, while Last Exile is made by Gonzo . I think both are a reference to Final Fantasy's chocobos. They certainly remind me of them.

No, if I am correct in saying [spoiler]The the basically only fan service scene involves Queen Sophia dressed in her royal gard I believe and Claus. She bends over for some odd reason ::forgets:: exsposing some clevage in which Claus blushes and looks away. Then, as Sophia (or Sophita) is in her royal gard]

As said before, this series is extremely clean save for those few and very brief instances.

That's true Hitokiri. That's the only 'fanservicy bit' but there is also the wife of the commander with a young girl who befriends Alvis a bit in the later episodes. Her mum has a bit low cut top also, but she's in it for all of 2 mins.

Her name is actually Tatiana.

Postby **Warrior 4 Jesus** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 3:24 am

Tatiana? That's the one. I didn't think anything happened between Klaus and her in the desert, but he was clearly interested in her. I think he had more respect then that (not to mention he's only 15).

The "every female character (except maybe Delphine) likes Claus" thing was probably the weakest part of the whole series.

Really, it was only Lavie and Tatiana. I don't think Sophia really had any feelings for Claus.

Postby **Warrior 4 Jesus** » Sun Jan 29, 2006 11:38 pm

I always had the feeling the Sophia viewed Klaus as a good friend, nothing more than that.

Postby **mitsuki lover** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 2:09 pm

I think Sophie had a thing for Alex.

Postby **CDLviking** » Mon Jan 30, 2006 3:28 pm

That's pretty obvious.

Postby **That Dude** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 1:36 pm

I'd have to agree with CDL...They pretty much lay out Sophie's interest in Alex pretty well.

Postby **mitsuki lover** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 1:56 pm

I don't think it would have worked though since she was the Crown Princess.

Postby **CDLviking** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 4:25 pm

And since he was completely uninterested. His life had only one purpose since he tried to cross the Grand Stream.

Postby **mitsuki lover** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 1:54 pm

I think part of it was because he was tyring to make up for the earlier failure when he was with Labie and Claus' fathers.Survivors Guilt,I would guess.

anyone know were to get the complete set for cheap

Postby **Htom Sirveaux** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 1:33 pm

Check Best Buy. They've got the best prices on anime that I know of.

Postby **mitsuki lover** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 2:46 pm

It depends on where you live.

Postby **CDLviking** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 4:55 pm

Best Buy, Sun Coast, or your local retailer. Or you could google it, and at the top of the results page there is a button that says "froogle" that could help you find a legitimate copy from an internet retailer for pretty cheap.

I recommend the Range Murata edition if you can find it. It takes up less space and the cover art is incredible.

Looks like the best deal you could get on the complete collection of Last Exile is $89.99 at Rightstuf. Still, if that's more than you want to pay (which I understand) you might just want to wait a while. Rightstuf, from time to time, runs sales when they take a certain percent off of all the titles by a specific distributor (such as 40% off sale on all their Bandai products right now), and if they run a similar sale on geneon products, like they have before, you could get a pretty impressive deal on it.

Postby **CDLviking** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 8:52 pm

I found a Range Murata boxed set for $65 on froogle.

How much a single DVD is it?

Postby **Mangafanatic** » Tue Feb 07, 2006 2:17 pm

No less than $20, normally (which makes a $68 set that contains discs 1-7 a steal.)

Postby **jayquam** » Thu Feb 09, 2006 12:49 pm

i might buy it off ebay, most sale their complete boxes of last exile for $20.
