4.0 out of 5 stars The plot thickens., December 27, 2004

This review is from: Last Exile - Grand Stream (Vol. 5) (DVD)

Last Exile starts to pick up as the series begins to form a clearer direction as it passes it's halfway point and the characters each prepare in their own way to face Queen Delphine and her forces.

Sophia's secret identity, revealed in the last volume, becomes useful on both political and personal scales as she takes her place as a powerful diplomatic figure - finally discovering the Guild's true intentions - and is able to pass on to Claus and Lavie information about the reason their fathers died.

The character who really shines in this volume, however, is Lord Dio Eraclea. Although we have had our suspicions, it is now that we finally get a fairly clear picture of his true nature and it is finally established whether he is a spy or a good-intentioned deserter as we see a different, very human side of him behind the bravado that he had not previously shown anyone. We get a further idea of what the Silvana is going to be dealing with in his sister Delphine through his point of view, building up tension for when the Silvana will finally confront her.

All in all, an excellent lead-in to the tense volume that follows.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most exciting DVD yet, August 31, 2004

By 

Hesper23 "Grad student" (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Last Exile - Grand Stream (Vol. 5) (DVD)

"Grand Stream," Volume 5 (of 6) contains some of the most exciting episodes of the series. All the plots are finally coming together: old characters reappear, former enemies set aside their differences, and all to work to defeat the "malicious queen" Delphine and capture Exile.

Fans of Dio and Sophia will be particularly pleased by Volume 5, as they are given center stage. In fact, Ep. 18 is called "Promotion Sophia." As you know, when a pawn reaches the end of the board, it is "promoted" to Queen--in Sophia's case, Empress. The whole coronation sequence is simply GORGEOUS.

Unfortunately, there isn't much in terms of the DVD's "extra" material. There's a textless opening, a character gallery, and the obligatory Geneon previews. C'est tout. Oh well, I'm still glad I bought the DVD, and I can't wait for the next installment ("Queen Delphine").

Another installment in what I consider the BEST ANIME EVER PRODUCED!
Visually stunning with an incredibly rich and complex yet engaging storyline.
The music is also bar-none in comparison with todays broadcast norm.
I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed in this series.
HOWEVER, I recommend you watch the volumes in order to understand the complex storyline.
ENJOY!
