Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing ~ great anime series!

First I have to admit I didn't watched Last Exile, the anime series by Gonzo that begins it all. But it is safe to say that you do not need any knowleadge about Last Exile to watch the sequel, Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing which is currently running on Animax Asia.

Fam, the Silver Wing is about our protagonist, Fam Fan Fan, a talented sky pirate, and her navigator, Giselle Collette, trying to help a runaway princess, Millia II Velch Cutrettola Turan to restore her kingdom that had been conquered by the Ades Federation. It's a bit complicated to describe what really happen on the series as of now since I had missed several episodes already. But for those of you who still haven't watch the series, I think it's not too late for you to start to watch it now. Don't worry about not understanding the plot, you will gradually understand and appreciate the story. Even if you still got confuse along the way, well, internet is the best place to start to so some research.

I was blown away by the high-quality of the anime when I first watch it, it was beautiful and mesmerizing, not to forget extremely in detail especially when it comes to the airships. You can see the hardwork the studio had put on their product. The voice-acting was also good and suits the characters really well.

Speaking of characters, Fam, the Silver Wing is packed with interesting characters. First you have the main duo, Fam Fan Fan and Giselle, then you have the hard-headed princess Millia of Turan. Sara Augusta, on the other hand, is the reigning empress of Ades Federation. I'm not sure of her age, but she seems like she was only 8 or 9 years old. Served by her side is the antagonistic Premier of the Ades Federation, Luscinia Hafez, a cruel military head who will do anything to achieve his goal. Some other interesting characters are Tatiana Wisla, Alister Agrew and Dio Eraclea who were all originated from the first series, Last Exile.

You can watch Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing on Animax Asia (Malaysia on Astro Channel 715) every Saturday on 8 pm with last week's episode airing on 7.30 pm so you can watch it back-to-back. Happy viewing!
