Last Exile
Originally, I wasn't much interested in Last Exile. It seemed like an above average action film with not much going for it other than the CG. Well, turns out I was wrong. Last Exile is an epic series that has a lot of character development, world development, pretty good plot, and non-stop edge-of-your-seat excitement. The action is also well planned, without excessive shots or stupid sequences. The CG is pretty good, but still missing a little bit. Plus, the CG is not the absolute latest technology. The only downside I see to the series are the corny lines that pop-up at rare occasions.
The creators of this anime have come up with an interesting mixture of ideas. There are three societies, each with different naming conventions and cultures. There seems to be some German influence in the names, and the combat philosophy stems from the 18th-century British Empire style. The music has a Celtic undertone, and there are a few really good compositions. I do also like the character designs by Range Murata. I should try picking up some of his art books.
