Summary: Amazing the BEST gonzo has made yet
Review: this anime is awesome!!! there are 4 episodes included. calculate alex, swindle, develop, and discovered attack
the silvana heads to an auction about the gateway to exile. while the auction is taking place, there is an 8 hour race that tatiana and claus are participating in. alex is at the auction, and is unable to retrieve the gateway to exile, but dio's older sister delphine, gets it. Lord dio comes onto the silvana and which soon enters battle against Anatory ships. i think it is 6 anatory ships agains the silvana. there is even more action and vanship combat in this new dvd. i hope my review was helpful and i won't say anymore about the episodes, because i don't want to spoil it for you. and the ending sux, because you have to wait another 2 months for the next one to come out!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Last Exile - A Vertiable Masterpiece
Review: This is quite possible one of the best animes ever. Last Exile delivers suspense, comedy, and drama all in one package. If you have not bought the previous Last Exiles, purchase and view them, then indulge yourself in the wonder of Last Exile - Discovered Attack!

Summary: Beautiful reinvention
Review: This series is a pastiche of past anime elements reassembled and reinvented in a gorgeous and original way. The vanships and battleships will remind long-time anime fans of the gunships and air fleets of "Nausicaa." Not to mention a crucial image of golden fields and bright blue sky. The kid with hidden powers is a concept older than "Akira." How many times have we seen a cape-wearing captain? The omnipotent Guild (and series plot) has seen many reincarnations in SF (see "Lord of Light" by Roger Zelasny or "Archangel" by Sharon Shinn, e.g.). Having said all that, I think "Last Exile" is an addictive, engaging piece of work. The character designs, ship designs, CG sequences are simply stunning. A cut above most of the cookie-cutter stuff crowding the anime shelves. No whiny teenage characters. No one is high school uniforms. Thank the animation gods.

Summary: An Impressive and Imaginative Anime
Review: Typically, an anime series is neither graceful or sweeping but this one is a huge exception. Last Exile has one of the most original storylines I have seen in a while as far a anime is concerned. There are few, if any cliches here. Yes, the first episodes aren't the most action packed, but i think the producers spent just enough time to develop the story and characters for greater emotional impact. The first episode gives you an idea of what normal life is like for the people of this world. Nothing in this anime is casually thrown out there. Genuine questions arise from Volume 2 of Last Exile like, who is Alex Ross? Why is Alvis such an important part of the story? What in the world is Dio Eraclea's role in all of this? Who are the Guild?

I particularly like the fact that Claus is an impressive pilot and will no doubt have a significant role in proving himself and yet at the same time has not been shown as the typical 15 to 18 year-old-kid that ends up single-handedly saving everybody. Visually, GONZO did an amazing job of turning this into artwork. The battles are full of detail, they are long enough ... to keep your attention and wonder, and they don't turn into a storyline killer. This comes in at number 3 right now as far as my favorite animes (1. Evangelion, 2. Cowboy Bebop) and in conclusion all i have to say is that April 6th is FAR too long to wait for the 3rd volume of this anime.
