| Nice episode but why name it episode 11 people will get confused So I was wondering what is the pendant Fam was holding :D |
| The spring I met you, The spring without you. |
| Fam wants to find her parents?... Are they alive? The Grand Race is the sign of peace. But it was hold only once. D: The end of episode, Fam and the others are being transport to somewhere. So they did get caught... tsubasalover said: Neither of them are Dio, are they? One's Luscinia, one's Alauda.+ Dio still working as the queen's bodyguard. Great episode |
 |
| so fam and millia had actually met before. small world. nice flashback episode. |

| Yeah Luscinia did look a lot like Dio, but seeing as he's named by other characters in the episode it's obviously not Dio. Interesting that we finally see a scene with a couple of the sequences from the OP animation. I always thought that was Dio- turns out I was wrong! This show has really not pulled any punches the last couple of episodes. WHAM moments everywhere. It's stuff like this that is going to make the show even more interesting from here on out; I'm keen to see what is going to happen in the present setting after learning more about some of the backstory. |
| I am amused, this is quite a good show IMHO. |
| The fight between Alauda and Luscinia and the attackers makes me wonder about the extend of their powers. Their weapon seems to be able to extend quite far and fast. First a small dagger, then using it to pull himself up to the vanish, then fighting using it as staff/double ended sword. Then they can adjust their clothes, to either look like a robe or skintight suit, and while we already saw them not being hit by bullets, they never stood still when doing so, so it could just be their blinding speed, but now..either the ones shooting them where so nervous that they missed, or they can actually deflect bullets or similar. I wonder if they have even more secrets up the sleeve |

Lukia is Luscinia. Alauda also called him by this nickname in the beginning of the series. I love seeing all the characters, major and minor in this episode. From the Glacien pilots as children to Guzel, Sadri's executive officer whose father dies protecting her and Sadri. We also got to see how Vasant came to be Sara's protector. Yashbal Anand also made an appearance here. Sorush and Orang were just childish cadets. My mouth also dropped seeing Kayvan without his mustache and beard. |
| Liked this episode, it was good to have some of the characters fleshed out a bit, and we finally get to see what sent Lukia around the bend. Alauda just got a lot more interesting too, loved the way he was teasing Lukia. The number of bullets somehow failing to hit Farahnaz was getting a bit silly though. If she was the primary target, she shouldn't have had to step in front of someone else to get shot, the shooter should have been aiming for her from the start. Who's going to shoot at a little girl with the hated "dictator" standing a few feet away? |

| I dunno, I thought the assassination sequence as a whole was clumsily directed and written. There was no sense of urgency, the use of animation from the opening was badly done, and the pacing felt awkward. |

tsubasalover said: Shih said: tsubasalover said: Neither of them are Dio, are they? One's Luscinia, one's Alauda.+ Dio still working as the queen's bodyguard. One of them looks like Dio to me. They are remnant of the 'guild' which was a dictatural faction in the world of the first Last Exile before the main cast of s1 actually use Exile to reach earth. Every guild member is very powerfull and are easely recogniseable by their white hair color and pale skin. Their clothes are also pretty much similar. Dio is the prince and ruler of the guild member as his sister which was the main antagonist of s1 bite the dust. Most of the guild member are still on the planet where the s1 happen so I guess that his title means nothing on earth. |

| Well, I think this episode was absolutely beautiful :D I really enjoyed watching this part of the story as well as the child versions of Millia, Giselle and Fam, which were lovely. And I think we may see one more episode explaining past events. |
| Mandatory and sloppy expository flashback episode that tries to cram too much in with too little time, along with overly-pervasive eye-rolling sentimentality. It would have been a lot more believable to me if they hadn't tried shoving in literally every named-character they could think of into an event that happened nine years ago, however momentous it may have been, and actually gave the empress a much greater security detail; never mind having two super-ninjas, it won't do much good against a multi-direcitonal, simultaneous assault. Probably the weakest episode in the series for me, and has put a sour taste into my mouth - aside from the lazy storytelling, the animation and art seemed to be equally lazy and inconsistent this week. Here's to hoping it'll pick back up in the weeks ahead. |

LOL Anyway, looking at it again, I guess that's what was intended, but that's not much better. Liliana is so much shorter than Farahnaz, they would have had to be shooting at her knees to hit the girl. And none of that changes the fact that Farahnaz was standing there for far too long without getting hit, and as Dangerr pointed out, seemed to have amazingly lax security for someone who would be an obvious assassination target. |
| kinda knew the grand race would not end well like the way this eps shows how the characters become who they are today due to a past incident |
| Minus the Anatoray characters, everyone was there ten years ago... and Luscinia was Lukia back then, very interesting back story! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |

ROFLMAO |

| Wow! If i understood correct all those empire dudes really changed after that empress died. She was trying to get peace by making agreements and staff while now they simply try to create piece by conquering everything and killing all those that came with the exile ship.

ROFLMAO can you stop being an ass. The guy never said he hated the show or anything he just notice an inconsistency that bothered him and thought mentioning it. The section is called anime discussion you know. He has the right to discuss a problem he found. If only praises where posted there wouldn't be discussion at all. |

There was no sense of urgency, the use of animation from the opening was badly done, and the pacing felt awkward. Agree, the scene was a bit silly. Otherwise it was a nice episode, explaining more about the setting and characters. Yeah. Something just felt "off" during that scene. Everyone standing around and refusing to run the fuck away didn't help matters. Despite that, I dunno, I liked this episode for the most part. It seemed to put everything into perspective. |
| Quite a lovely backstory episode, quite enjoyed it actually! Let's see what's next! |

RinM said: Nice episode but why name it episode 11 people will get confused So I was wondering what is the pendant Fam was holding :D because it is episode 11 |
 |
| Hmm so instead of escorting the queen to safety, her bodyguards chose to leave her side to deal with the rebels without knowing how many rebels there are or where they're coming from. I don't get it. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Nice glimpse into the past, although out of the blue at that. It would appear the last Empress was truly as great as people say she was. Very interesting seeing Luscinia as her bodyguard. He seems to have respected her though possessed his own opinions on how the world should be run. Rather a sloppily done assassination scene. I could have done without the reused animation from the opening. I wish this show had the subtlety of the first season; everything was understated but everyone reacted so believably. One thing I will praise is Luscinia’s freakout and Kayvan’s suicide attempt. Side notes - Fam’s pigtails were too cute - Luscinia was always a heartthrob apparently. Oh Liliana. |

| Fam's patch looked familiar. My memory >_< Also, Milia gave coffee sweets to Fam. And we know that Milia dislikes coffee, so she gave away what was not needed/desired xD One shot from the war flashback kinda made me think that it was mirroring WWII. I wonder whether the people who tried to kill Farahnaz were Sky Pirates? The first one seemingly knew Kaiser. Or was just shocked after stabbing him. I am not sure whether the one who first exclaimed his name was the assassin or Atamora. It was also strange to see only Ades and Turan representatives on the award ceremony. Wasn't it supposed to be a peace celebration for more people? Or were they just annexed by Ades, hmm. The "Russians" were there too, only in the audience though. P.S. What was the point of Fam, Milia and Giselle going out during the battle? Get captured? xD |
