Seems like i missed a great anime , will try it. I was sceptic when i saw Gonzo.

What? what? what? This is a completely unexpected news for me. Since I love Last Exile, I would usually be ecstatic about such news, but unfortunately, I've long since given up all faith I had in Gonzo. I'll watch it of course, but I'm not getting my hopes. I'd rather be cautious and end up pleasantly surprised than hopeful and eventually bitterly disappointed.

Last Exile had a ending. I just wonder if they're using it as a springboard to showcase their 3D skills. It can't be due to the title's popularity in Japan as it's from 2003 and should of had a follow up by now or a blu-ray release in Japan. Quote:

Haha take it easy guys, i did say it was in my opinion :heh:.
All the works you mentioned were wonderful Gonzo works. The point being, it's one of their best ones and is a must see watch even if it isn't necessary to view to understand this one. |
Oh my God.... I can't believe my eyes. At first I thought this was a joke but then after researching it seems like it's true and we're going to have another Last Exile. The first series for me was a complete masterpiece with superb animations if compared by today's standard, heck even better in most cases considering that the series was made when Gonzo's still at its prime.
I also hope they don't screw this. Last Exile had given me a memorable and pleasant impression on anime in general, that it's not about moetards but focused on quality, beautiful animations and epic settings. |

Anyway I'm looking forward to the sequel. |
For my money this was Gonzo's best work. And even largely exempt from their botched ending syndrome, though I know not all agree.

I've been living under a rock and out off the radar, because I want to know if GONZO has recovered from the financial struggles and issues that forced the studio to go to near bankruptcy last year? Is this true, or just I'm wrong ? On-Topic: To me Last Exile was memorable, because it was one of the very first anime titles that I watched after graduating recently from college during that era. There were no words for me to describe the visuals, the characters, the storyline, the animation, and the music. Even all the tiniest details were engaging. The settings and the atmosphere felt to me as taken from the following historical time frames: 1. The Napoleonic Era 2. The late Industrial Revolution period 3. The World War I era The vanships to me were a delicacy and a treat to my eyes watching flying at full motion. |
Last Exile was one of my favorites, so despite my wariness at this being Gonzo, I'm excited for it. This will be the first Gonzo show I'll watch since...well, Last Exile.

wow great news, i'm going to have to re-watch it

Last Exile's setting was intriguing and teeming with potential. Then after sixteen episodes the potential was still unrealized. To think that it was done by a spectacular GONZO back then. Now a merely a shell of its former self, there's not really much rejoicing for this news.

Most likely, someone looked at the shows/techniques that made Gonzo famous, and have decided to build on that. |
so happy. sooooo very happy. one of the best soundtracks ever.

What are odds for this new season to be equally good? -Sequels rarely are on par with the original -Gonzo has no money -Gonzo keeps messing its own stories after awhile -And as a personal note, I wasn't thrilled with the show to begin with. The characters looked like dolls, the world was left undeveloped, the pacing was slow and fluxuating between good and bad moments, the ending was messy and rushed. As for the funky airships and cool world, I think most of us switched to Bounen no Xamdou (an equally chaotic series with an equally messy ending with the only difference that it's made by Bones). I am also not sure if the setting will even be interesting after other anime like Planet of the Beast King or Scrapped Princess had somewhat similar worlds (exaled, prisons). So no, very low expectations from my part. |
Is there anything wrong with having our hopes up for this new series, really? I mean sure there's reason why it won't be good, though it's always a 50/50 chance.

For all you know Gonzo may have gotten its act together and make an ending that's more of... say... Speed Grapher's last half (though I presume YMMV)..
