did anyone see it and did you like it?

I haven't heard about it what is it about

yeah, i love it. ending kinda sucked though, cause i really liked dio.

I thought it was quite boring.

It looked nice though.

loved it. great music, story, animation. gonna buy the box set when all the DVDs are out ^_^

whats the japanese name?

i heard about it from a magazine saying that its great... more about emotions than action

saw the trailer and an amv - pretty good computer graphics

japanese name: ラストエグザイル

>_< thanks... that was a great help&#33;&#33;&#33; *sarcasm*

I think there is no Japanese name. Maybe something like Lasutu Eksailu or something.

thanks... thats the first time ive heard of an anime with no jap. name

*shrugs* oh well...

i went on the official website, found out that its about an alternate reality with the usual battle between good and bad guys; only here its done in a way of world war II like planes agains great...

I think that&#39;s close, but perhaps more like Rasutu Ekusairu; there aren&#39;t any l&#39;s in japanese.

Lee? Or is that Chinese.. :think:

:offtopic: Sorry.

There are, L and R just have the same symbol and the pronunciation is somewhere between the L and the R sound. - Kind of like the Dutch R.

And don&#39;t speak against me, I have a song where they clearly sing "mysteLy" instead of mystery, which means that there IS an L sound or something simular in the Japanese language, and since it has the same symbol as the R sound, they mix it up all the time.

you asked for the name in japanese...

that&#39;s read as "Rasto Eguzairu"

...don&#39;t ask me why the gu is there, i thought it was supposed to be ku too.

and there are no syllables that start with L in japanese. english words with L in them are still pronounced (as accurately as the speaker is able to pronounce english...) the same way, but the katakana would be written with R replacing the L.

Thus making L and R have the same symbol. I&#39;ve heard enough Japanese to say that there are L sounds in there, I&#39;m not a complete moron.

no, that just means L is converted to R in writing =P

this is horribly off-topic, but R and L are just merged into 1 sound, so ル sounds like a mix between "ru" and "lu".. sort of like saying "roo" without moving your lips and using your tounge. As for writing it in romaji, it doesn&#39;t really matter, either work fine ... there&#39;s a reason people try to avoid using romaji.

In the case of last exile, using a romaji "La" makes more sense because the english word starts with an L.

I saw Last Exile. I thought it was great. The computer graphics were done really well

ill see it tomorrow Yea&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

did a chunk of this thread just disappear?

No

So far saw the first 3 volumes (still got one more to go). The graphics are good obviously, really funny at times, some emotions are shown but not really that much

overall &#39;slightly better than good&#39;, but not something i would recommend if you&#39;re looking for deep and emotional

to me, it had that old Final Fantasy 6 feel to it. Maybe that&#39;s not the right description, but for some reason it made me feel nostalgic. (damn why am i feeling nostalgic at 18? @_@)

i liked it a lot but i kno a lot of people who thought it was too slow and boring.

i apologize for saying earlier that it was not emotional.

in the 4th volume you start seeing the feelings of the characters more clearly which i think is great ^_^

gotta buy the 5 & 6 to finish it

I think there are 7 volumes. No.7 comes out this month
