To get the total Last Exile experience, the anime alone is not enough. I remembered reading that there was an art book which indicated that Dio survived his fall. So yeah, it's really another case of meta-plot, which to me is not at all surprising.
On the franchise as a whole, I give it a thumbs-up. Looking forward to this new series and the art-books/drama-CDs/what-have-you. Let those vanships fly!
