In celebration of the upcoming movie, Last Exile thread.
Oh HELL YES Last Exile thread, thank you google alerts.
Going to post a few before bed, if the thread is still up through tomorrow I'll add more. Any preference for characters/pairings/etc? I've got a lot (though obviously more Dio than anything).
That said, I hope the movie is an actual new movie and not just a clipshow. Can't wait for more info either way.
>>2992868
Dio/Lucciola but anything goes, really.
>>2992870
Same! And some more Dio would be very welcome, we barely saw him in the new season.
>>2992909
PERFECT I have so much of those two.
Fanart of Lucciola as if he's okay in the sequel with Dio is my jam.
My sad, wishful thinking jam.
>>2992919
I feel your pain. I'd love to see how Lucciola would look post-time skip, too.
>>2992935
A lot of fanartists give him a Cicada-like growth spurt (bro is TALL) and slightly longer/fluffier hair. Which is adorable along with less stony facial expressions. Like this one.
Uuugh I love it.
>>2992939
That's how I imagine him, too. With time the Guild's hold would probably wane and he'd become less robotic and more able to express emotion.
It's really sweet how Dio flies without a navi in the sequel and won't even allow anyone to sit on Lucciola's seat.
>>2992942
YESSSS why couldn't that have somehow happened in the series?! I get sad every time I think about it because it would have been so adorable.
Dio in the second series was pretty rad IMO. I understand a lot of Senpai's criticism but I think they did right by Dio and his development/involvement. So much throwback to Lucciola and how he flies his vanship alone is just, PUNCH TO THE GUT with feelings. God I can gush about these two/Dio all day, I love them so much.
>>2992946
I loved Dio in the sequel as well, I just wish there was more of him. It's almost frustrating how little we do see him of him and yet he completely steals the show in those short scenes.
He even gets disqualified after winning the Grand Race precisely because he refuses to take on a navi. Knowing how much that race meant to him...it says a lot about Dio's feelings for Lucciola.
>>2992952
WORD. Have you been into Last Exile for long? Have you seen any of the drama summaries and extra stuff for Dio?
>>2992955
I got into it shortly after the first season aired, haven't seen any extra stuff. I'm planning on reading the manga soon, it seems to explain a lot of what happened between the two seasons.
>>2992958
Travelers from the Hourglass is a great manga, and covers some between series things, not so much Dio stuff though sadly.
Anyway, here are some links for extra stuff if you want since I can't help but spread the love (especially when it comes to Dio): over-the-sky.net has things scattered all over it, including a couple of doujinshi in the gallery I scanlated. unguilded.dreamwidth.org/1067.html has things too, including a link compilation of the whole series + spin offs, novels, dramas and extras for easy access. gaignun.tumblr.com/post/114146151111/dio-lucciola-mini-compilation are for more Dio and Lucciola things I've translated over time from artbooks and other places.
>>2992963
Thanks a lot! This reminds me, I was translating a Dio/Lucciola doujin but for some reason never got around to finishing it...I should still have it floating it around, could do with some help translating it.
I got the first season on DVD and it came with an Alvis figure, to this day I am sad it was not Dio instead.
>>2992966
No problem. THIS FANDOM IS SMALL AND SLOW so I do whatever I can to spread the love because I have endless yearning to just nerd out about it.
As for the doujin I'd love to help if I can! I have another (smutty) one I am planning to work on but it was scanlated to Russian which is a liiiiiittle tougher to do, haha. I should upload the raw in the meantime though.
Alvis has so many figures. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL especially the Senpai one, but yes. Aside from the Dio & Lucciola one from the Grand Stream figure set (which is a nice figure) I am sad there is no more for him. I'm still praying that one day they'll release a 1/8 for Senpai for him.
>>2992969
Yeah it's so small a fandom that I was surprised the anime got a second season at all. But it turned out to be really great.
Blurry kanji made the doujin extra hard to translate, I think I have over half of it translated already.
Fortunately Alvis is not annoying as opposed to vitually all anime little girls, which is a bonus.
>>2992975
Nice! I can look at if possibly if you upload it somewhere. Otherwise the tumblr post I linked is mine and I have my other contacts there
>>2992977
That's the cover, on the off chance you have translated it already.
>>2992980
Oh! Yes, it's on the over-the-sky domain in the image gallery's doujin section. I have the main story done, but not the short extra ones.
>>2992982
Thank heavens it's been translated, then. I really liked it, Lucciola's role in particular was lovely.
>>2992986
Yeah, it's a really good doujin! If only other older ones were floating around out there somewhere, but they're so hard to find now if at all.
>>2992988
I know, it's a real shame. And there aren't all that many doujin either, compared to other fandoms.
>>2992990
This is why in my personal case the fanart/fanfic well has long been dry... My scraps are new stuff that gets drawn every once in a while.
>>2993113
Last Exile deserves more attention as it is, the world-building is really top-notch and we do not get a lot of steam punk anime as it is.
I was surprised that the sequel did away with Claus almost entirely without as much as explaining why. It's covered in the manga, I'm sure, but it struck me as odd.
>>2993119
Sadly it's not covered in the manga.
More sadly it is kind of ... covered ... in a novel in the Senpai Aerial Log. But it's really ... not good...
>>2993123
I never cared much for Claus but ditching the main character, just like that, without a hint of an explanation was so strange.
It's even stranger in that they did not scrape the entire cast of the original anime. They brought back Dio and Alvis while Claus got Put On A Bus.
>>2993127
I just realized that F a m is getting changed to another word so I look like an idiot now WOW. I did not say Senpai those times.
IN ANY CASE yeah, I wouldn't have even minded that much but they throw him in a wheelchair and then hardly bother to elaborate on it (save for one of the blu ray booklets just saying HE GOT HURT HELPING DIO GO BACK TO NORMAN) and following up with a shit mini novel that barely actually covers it.
And here's a 7 page textless version of one of the Dio Lucciola dramas a fanartist drew

>>2993303
>>2993304
and here's some range murata art from a limited calendar from an event
>>2993291
It's even weirder in that the sequel has a mostly useless recap episode that could easily have been used to explain or at least hint at what an earth happened to Claus.
>>2993291
>I just realized that F a m is getting changed to another word so I look like an idiot now WOW. I did not say Senpai those times.
Try posting s*m*h f*a*m (without the asterisks)
I have no idea who decides of this filtering, lol, it's only on /cm/
>>2993394
>it's only on /cm/
It's on the entire website.
>>2993396
not on /b/ senpai
Well more info finally came out! The movie is sadly, an omnibus. HOWEVER there are going to be 500 "reshots" (whether these are new scenes, reanimated old scenes, or a mix of both, we'll see) and new dialogue (WHICH WILL MEAN NEW SCENES YAY) so I'm still hyped.
>>2994151
An omnibus? Now that's unexpected.
I'm just glad there will be more Last Exile. I'm fine if it's mostly second season characters too.
Why is he so perfect?
Lavie a cute
