FoolsLove Wrote:By the way madanthony, Last Exile Ginyoku no Fam is actually the second season in the Last Exile series. Season one aired in 2003, and this season is a direct sequel to it. The characters between the two shows are mostly different, though from what I've read a few characters from the first are in the second. Haven't gotten around to watching season 1 yet myself but I will.
So far this season is pretty damn awesome. Haganai, Shana 3, Guilty Crown, Mirai Nikki, Fate/Zero all awesome shows. Bakuman 2 and Kimi to Boku other solid shows, and then the latter half of Mawaru Penguindrum.
Season one was a lot of fun. A step below any sort of masterpiece, but a show I quite liked. I was under the impression it was a "same universe>new story" deal, but that notion went out the window as soon as Dio showed up right at the start. I'm all excited about Alvis because of the original.
This season has indeed been over the top and awesome. Probably the first time I've stuck with 6 shows the whole season.
I cleared up a lot of my own confusion just a few minutes ago when I found out there was a manga that falls in between the two seasons.
"An interquel story set right after the events of Last Exile and before Fam, The Silver Wing, Travelers from the Hourglass is about Claus, Lavie, Alvis, and the others who followed them on Exile to leave Prester and settle on Earth, their ancestors home world."
I had no idea/forgot the first season occurred on a different planet, but everything makes a hell of a lot more sense now.
