I am 2 "episodes" into Pluto (so like 5 or 6 episodes by length standards, technically this thing shapes up to be a 2 cour anime I suppose), and there is absolutely no question that this is anime of the year, even if I were to stop now. What a fucking beast.

I finished Last Exile. Stayed pretty good from beginning to end. It felt really weird that many of the characters were kinda off doing their own major missions and subplots, while the ending just...did its own thing? Sort of. Delphine fit in that terrible box of "mastermind villains that sit in chairs all day," though the last few episodes at least gave her some weird ass elitist vibes. Still though, the airship combat and especially the soundtrack were pretty damn impressive. The show was 20 years old, but held up well enough.

It's amazing how one of the earliest major uses of CG in anime can still hold up so well. Gonzo sure used to be quite the studio.

The sequel series is a bit less....unique? But honestly it's still a very good show. A lot of people skip it because it lacks the aesthetic of the original, but in it's own it stands up well.
