This anime is kind of like a more realistic? version of Last Exile. The first two eps I watched today, and they are very interesting so far.

I just watched the first two episodes of this today, and I have to say it looks pretty interesting. I haven't watched an anime quite like this, so I think I'll be following this one, at least for a while, to see if it continues to pick up.

I enjoyed it, and it's always nice to have a new show to watch. d('.'d)

We need more people to watch this. I think this maybe one of those great serious sleeper hits...

My wife got into it and is very fond of the SD eyecatch.

I think the premise, though cliche, is cool

Yeah, I'm really enjoying it so far, but I'm just hoping they throw us a loop in the story. It's like I'm waiting for something epic to happen, and so far it just hasn't. Still watching though, love the art style and character's personalities.

I'll probably check this out when I get time since I've heard it being compared to LE, which I really enjoyed.

My friend watched it when it released and didn't really enjoy it, so I'm not really sure what to expect.

I've been checking it out, so far I like it. It's probably the only "new" show I'm gonna watch this season, everything else seems like regurgitated tripe. :wink:

I loved this series.

More the first half than the second half though.

I'm sorry if I seem like I'm dredging this up from the dead, but this show was absolutely amazing! Although the second half wasn't as good as the first, I really liked it. The opening song, the music, the atmosphere, the characters...they're all good.

It's by the same guy who did Kino's journey, so there's this wonderful and beautiful sense of just old-fashioned adventure and atmosphere. This reminds me of what Saturday cartoons were like: entertaining, light, and memorable.

This is a show that is a must-see.

I never bothered finishing the second half, maybe I'll get to that. I just didn't like the main character change that much.

I didn't like the first half, thought the second half had a bit of a Detective Conan feel to it. So I guess all you can say is the two halves are VERY contrasting.
