Last Exile

Last Exile is kind of like the anime version of Skies of Arcadia, if it were more serious. Which that you can expect to see large airship battles set against the backdrop of a fued between nations fueled by a mysterious third-party called The Guild. The Guild as it turns out control the technology behind the airships and has no desire to allow the two nations to get along and possibly to stage a coup against the Guild. Two vanship [a type of small airship] pilots, Clause and Lavi, find themselves in the middle of this when the recieve a delivery that's more than they bargained for. Last Exile's most prominent feature is good it looks, almost seamlessly combining 3D CG and 2D digital animation. Its worth a rent just for that, but the story and characters and action make it a worthwhile addition to any DVD collection.

G4TechTV aired it before so you might want to check there to see if they have any plans to air it again.

I should see this, it looks good...

No one cares about this part of the forum...

Sad, isn't it?

I KNOW there has to be more people out there interested in seeing GOOD animated series.

I finally got around to renting disc 1 (eps 1-4), very seriously awesome... must continue. :)

It does sound cool. I'll try to check it out sometime.

And it only took a year!

Watched the next four, the CG stuff is very well done, but the story is good too...

If I made threads for all the anime serieses or movies I've watched this summer I'd be posting for quite a while though... :D
