I don't really see that. And I'm confused to people that feel Fam's character is too comical, Zeus... Lavie is far more comical than Fam is. I really want detailed answer about this to people that feel like that. Its just contradicting.

Apparently, they feel that Moe Meido Cosplay, cute moe pubescent girls and Romantic Two Girls Friendship, or Shoujo-Ai, isn't in tune with what Last Exile stands for: Blood, War and serious angsty casts... :P

I hope it isn't so, but as a fan of the original my confidence is dropping rapidly after the latest episode. it doesn't have to be a pound for pound remake. The least they could do is stop pandering so hard. |

I double checked to make sure I wasn't seeing things (also looked at Madman Entertainment's stream). Look again at about 11:30-11:50, where Fam and Giselle were performing pre-flight checks. Giselle's outfit suddenly changes twice in the space of 7 seconds...

Perhaps it's due to a lot of the second half being mostly serious whereas the early stuff was equally a mix of light and dark, it's also proven that the new show's been very serious when it needs to be, both ep 2 and 3 proved this and 3 delivered a lot of respect to the fallen. I think both seasons hit both moods at various points, I mean how about the entire bar brawl encounter that basically served as light-hearted bonding between the new guys and the mechanics that ended with Alex comically humiliating the equally stupid ship commander in a way that was almost as humorous as the way Fam, Giselle and Olaf con an equally idiotic commander out of a ship.
Also, it's worth noting that the guy they con for the ship is the same exact idiot one they conned in the first ep (which is believable to me given the distance how little he probably could see of them with how dark it was not to mention their flight gear likely obscuring them even further), also note the uniform (and the ship), he's not part of Ades proper, probably just one of the lesser countries in the Federation. As mentioned on one of the other boards, Fam and the others have the real higher-up gray uniforms of the real forces of Ades likely adding to their "power" in the situation. The notions of shoujo-ai and romance in the two girls friendship, at least so far, is so overblown by a tiny group, it's barely even there unless you're a fan wanting it as a positive. Quote:

That scene with maid costume isn't even count as fanservice and not too feel out of place. If they want to make it as one, they can make the princess slipped n show her panties or something. So far this show remind me a LOT to usual BONES and GONZO, god that's so nostalgic...

Honestly I feel like the moods (both light-hearted and serious) are about the same as the original. They've just been hit at different points and slightly different levels.
Also, the ages are only off by a few months if not just 1 year. Claus and Lavie were only 15 in the original, Tatiana and Alis were 17, Sophia was 19, etc. Fam and Gisey are both 15; Fam turning 16 sometime soon. Dio is now about 18 years of age. It's really not much of an age cut from the original. The animation error with Gisey in the vanship is a complete animation error. Right before you see it see's already in costume. You see her usual flight clothes and then you see the costume again. People are blowing the maid outfit out of proportion. It didn't even work that well in the first place... |

I can't really argue about how the gender balance among the main characters is skewed towards the female side of the spectrum, but this is nicely balanced out (in my mind) by the vast amount of males in the supporting cast (4 out of the 5 Ades generals are men for example).

And...Millia's responsibility is to produce an heir so a coupling involving her would be a dead end unless the partner is a guy. Being the second female in line, she's just a tool for negotiating alliances thru marriage unless her older sister dies before leaving an heir.

In that perspective, please be reminded that Turan gov't is now in exile and is a defacto government with four employees. All of you guys being too serious about this show is the reason why we cannot have nice things.

"If you don't like it, don't watch it" Remember this is a new series, a whole new beginning. The shock for me is Dio alive and the only other thing Im looking forward to is and hopefully we see the Silvana again.

Personally, I'm upset that they increased the average age of the show. Fam and Giselle are slightly older than what Claus and Lavie were (Fam is almost 16!), the the returning characters are 2 years older by virtue of aging, and Millia is way older than Alvis was. I want my stuffed sheep hugging loli back! |
