...on why Last Exile is the best anime ever. Almost.

10.) Nearly the entire thing takes place in the air, away from the ground which puny mortals walk on.
9.) The little girl is actually not annoying.
8.) It has Johnny Yong Bosch playing a little boy that gets action from every single woman in the series. Everyone wants to be like Claus.
7.) There are no suspicious gigantic breast sizes to be seen.
6.) Cool music.
5.) Crispin Freeman.
4.) What is better than giant warships shooting canons at each other across the sky?
3.) They wear uniforms like this:

2.) This is far and away the most beautifully animated show I've ever seen.
1.) It has gratuitous torturing of hot brooding captains who are strung up by rose vines that poke truth-serum-inserting thorns into the skin while his shirt conveniently rips open in the front for evil maestros to stab with sharp objects:

I think I'm going to have to see this.

I have no idea what it is except what you just said (heard of its existence but that's it) but it looks very cool indeed.

If you get a chance, do check it out. It's got a great storyline, absolutely gorgeous animation, and a very cool setting. ^_^

In theory, 10 - 9 - 8 - 6 - 4 - 3 and 2 make me interested.

But 7 - 5 and 1 make me think differently.

Hello. Thank you for calling the Last Exile hotline. We appreciate your interest and will address your concerns as soon as possible. BEEP.

7.) You, sir, are a pervert.
5.) At a quick glance, one can see that his character will be the type who says two words an episode anyway.
1.) Surely you're not opposed to a little good bit of torture now and then?

GO SEE IT.

Oh, for an ignorant question, you couldn't tell me what type of uniform the above outfit is based off of?

7. YOU NOTICED?!
5. THAT'S OKAY THEN
1. NO. BUT GRATUITOUS SHIRT RIPPING IS NOT MY THING... UNLESS IT INVOLVES (7).

Oh, for an ignorant question, you couldn't tell me what type of uniform the above outfit is based off of?

I'd say Pseudo-French maid with extremely flumped-up AMERICAN FOOTBALL-esque shoulder-pads and more starch than an army of Victorian upper-class pimps.

OMG FOR A MOMENT I KEPT IMAGINING LAST EXILE CHARACTERS IN VERY VERY STARCHY FRENCH MAID UNIFORMS THANK YOU HAVE KILLED MY BRAIN

Then I realised you were talking about your icon. Which does indeed look like it's been inundated in starch. I have learned something new, again, and I humbly thank you.

Err, forgive me for the vagueness of my previous question. If I could once more borrow from your vast store of knowledge, could you tell me what the Last Exile uniforms are based off of? My curiousity (and ignorance) is insatiable.
More pictures for the hell of it:

With all this grovelling asking, I should probably be posting in [livejournal.com profile] mr_mittsluv. Oh well.

I dislike anime.

You've made me interested in a new anime series. (#1 - pretty much all that I could ask for in a fictionalized setting).

I hate you, Madam, for this. Hate you.

I can sleep at night now.

Good, because that's when I shall deliver the killing blow.
