@Karura: I’ve heard mixed reviews about Gankutsuou, namely the ‘love it or hate it’ art style - which has only intrigued me more so I’ll definitely check it out at some point.

@Mirrinus: I think it’s the heavy use of CG in LE that likens it to Square Enix’s FF efforts…oddly, it doesn’t look out of place. I still hold to my view that it’s the best-looking Gonzo series I’ve seen so far!

@Otaku Surf: there are some great figures from the series but I’d love to own a model vanship to take pride of place on top of my TV set. There’s an art book out there too, which must be worth the purchase.

I’ve always wanted to watch this show but never really got around to doing it. I purchased a figure recently from the show and it reminded me of the show’s brilliant designs that I’ve seen. I’ve got to find time to see this show.

Last Exile may be the only GONZO anime I ever really liked, and it still currently sits at #2 on my personal favorite anime list. I think you’ve got a point there: there is a rather “Final Fantasy”-ish feel to it. Must be the airships and chocobos.

I really need to immerse myself in the world of Last Exile again; I still place it in my top ten even now.

I’d also recommend saving up for Gankutsuou if you haven’t already got it, it’s another rare gem from Gonzo.
