Winter 2015 – Week 3 Anime Review

Last week: analyzing the literary conflict in Yuri Kuma Arashi, appreciating the non-linear yet logical storytelling in Durarara!!x2 Shou, acknowledging the effectiveness of the “business card” introductions in Shirobako, and thoughts on the contrasting fashion and sexual themes in Junketsu no Maria.

Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam – 5

There’s a sense of adventure in Last Exile Fam and this episode is a clear display of it.  Flying through the skies in an imposing pirate ship, stalking an armada of an active military, and all together with your best friend, Last Exile sure knows how to set up a grand adventure.  But sometime doesn’t feel right; something is off.  Even though we have an ideal set up for an adventure in this anime, it just doesn’t feel that adventurous.
