Description: As the plot of this popular fantasy accelerates, small actions are revealed to have far-reaching repercussions, as a falling stone can trigger an avalanche. The new Empress of Anatory discovers that the fathers of Lavie and Claus were killed trying to deliver a message that would have ended the war between her country and Disith. A newly forged alliance between Anatory and Disith against the Guild and its bizarre ruler, Maestro Delphine, draws the characters into the struggle. Claus, Lavie, Tatiana, Dio, Alex, et al. join in the search for the Exile, the Guild's gargantuan flying base, within the vast storm system of the Grand Stream. Al and her powers over the Mysterion may hold the key to the conflict. The filmmakers introduce some interesting, original touches, including using sound to find the Exile. After a slow beginning, Last Exile is finally taking off. (Rated 13 and older: violence, alcohol use) --Charles Solomon

Review Summary: The plot thickens. |

Details: Last Exile starts to pick up as the series begins to form a clearer direction as it passes it's halfway point and the characters each prepare in their own way to face Queen Delphine and her forces.
Sophia's secret identity, revealed in the last volume, becomes useful on both political and personal scales as she takes her place as a powerful diplomatic figure - finally discovering the Guild's true intentions - and is able to pass on to Claus and Lavie information about the reason their fathers died.
The character who really shines in this volume, however, is Lord Dio Eraclea. Although we have had our suspicions, it is now that we finally get a fairly clear picture of his true nature and it is finally established whether he is a spy or a good-intentioned deserter as we see a different, very human side of him behind the bravado that he had not previously shown anyone. We get a further idea of what the Silvana is going to be dealing with in his sister Delphine through his point of view, building up tension for when the Silvana will finally confront her.
All in all, an excellent lead-in to the tense volume that follows. |

Review Summary: The most exciting DVD yet |

Details: "Grand Stream," Volume 5 (of 6) contains some of the most exciting episodes of the series. All the plots are finally coming together: old characters reappear, former enemies set aside their differences, and all to work to defeat the "malicious queen" Delphine and capture Exile. Fans of Dio and Sophia will be particularly pleased by Volume 5, as they are given center stage. In fact, Ep. 18 is called "Promotion Sophia." As you know, when a pawn reaches the end of the board, it is "promoted" to Queen--in Sophia's case, Empress. The whole coronation sequence is simply GORGEOUS. Unfortunately, there isn't much in terms of the DVD's "extra" material. There's a textless opening, a character gallery, and the obligatory Geneon previews. C'est tout. Oh well, I'm still glad I bought the DVD, and I can't wait for the next installment ("Queen Delphine"). |
