Trivia:

In the theme song, the only main character that isn't featured is Luciola. Although it is thought that Queen Delphine does not appear either, she does towards the end of the series when there is a slight change to the animation during the theme song. This occurs right after the line "...I will be the light." She is visible for a split second.

An Amazing Application of Style and Plot

"Last Exile" was capable of doing things that other series just can't. Not only does it bring more emphasis towards the romanticized sci-fi genre of Victorian-era steam tech, but it does it in a way that exudes its concepts with ascetically pleasing designs. The animation itself is even given a certain color tone to add to the whole "Age of Invention" feel of it.

As I noted before, it also shows an incredibly well-conceived world. Wars are performed in a traditional fashion of steam-armed musketeers, dog fighters in lighter-than-air ships, couriers, and an aged but still-present caste system. The character's storyline equally are full-fleshed. Some of the more minor characters stray into stereotypes, but it never becomes so blatant that it sticks out and sours this combination. There is a rushed feel towards the series in the end and I feel it would have been nice if it could have been expanded into more than 26 episodes, but it still performs the ending in a way that does not sour the series.

If you like Victorian Era science fiction, and even if you don't like anime, I might recommend this to you, simply because it is a series well made enough to be enjoyable for more than just animation quality and foreign dialogue.
