Last Exile 7-13
Things take the expected pickup in pace as the series reaches the end of its first half. The story covers quite a bit of ground on both the action and charaterisation fronts - I’m beginning to see why it’s become such a fan favourite. The crew of the Silvana have a run-in with a pompous military type while docking to make repairs, taking on musketeer Mullen as a new crew member; a spat with the Guild ends when the somewhat unbalanced Dio takes an interest in Claus’ piloting skills and invites himself aboard; Tatiana gets knocked down a peg or two and the Gateway to Exile makes an appearance at a black market auction.
