Last Exile





In the floating world of Prester a couple of young children are situated between the struggle of two rivaling nations Anatole and Dysis. In this victorian steampunk war setting floating warships are common and naval battles are waged above the clouds. Claus and Lavie, the two protagonists, pilot a vanship a small wingless aircraft and travel to many beautifully painted settings in the search for their father's whereabouts. The mysterious and technologically advanced guild is present to give them a difficult time and to set in motion events that will change their world forever! The language used for this world setting by the artists is ancient Greek although they use it with some poetic leave; It really doesn't make much sense for the Greek scholar. A wonderful anime nonetheless, well worth watching!
