This is another anime micro review. Read here for an explanation.
In the world of Last Exile people live life above the
clouds. It is a little unclear if people are living on floating islands, or
just on the tops of mountains, but airplanes and airships are the primary means
of traveling the vast oceans of sky between settlements. Nations command vast
fleets of massive airships and carryout so-called “honorable” warfare, sticking
to some kind of code of chivalry that isn’t quite explained in the first two
episodes. Meanwhile, the two main characters – a young pilot/navigator duo
named Claus and Lavie – work as sky carriers. In the first two episodes they
are hired to deliver a letter to an admiral of their nation’s sky navy. The
mission puts them in the middle of a battle, where it becomes obvious that the
enemy isn’t using honorable tactics. What’s more, the organization that’s
supposed to police battlefield etiquette refuses to interfere. So, obviously
there is some kind of conspiracy going on. Honestly, the story and characters
weren’t especially engaging in the first two episodes, but the artwork was
pretty high quality, and the world had a very interesting look. There was
enough there to make me slightly curious to see more.
Content Advisory: Some blood in the action scenes.
Some mild language.
