Wait, I thought people were boycotting this for....."another reason." Why is such news being done then? |
About 1 in 3 exhibitors are boycotting, yes.

Hell, wouldn't Last Exile be "Banned" under Tokyo's new Laws due to violence and the use of children in combat? |
Not likely. It has to be an extreme situation, and in such a situation, it won't be banned but rather be reclassified "for adults," so it would still be available, just not for minors.

No, you're not. People these days just complain if everything isn't spoonfed to them. If an ending is even slightly ambiguous, they refuse to use their imagination and yell stuff like "bad writing". |
There's a big difference between "spoonfeeding" and "keeping fairly vital facts that the audience needs to know to explain the show out of the show itself." For instance, I really shouldn't have had to read a DVD insert to understand that that big huge ship thingy at the end was originally constructed as an interplanetary shuttle. That's the sort of information that needs to be in the series proper...it's just good writing.

Maybe this will make Funi push up the date of the Blu-ray of Last Exile release. |
Amazon has it listed as June 14, 2011. I don't think it can be pushed up much from there...

That's funny, because I thought it was one of the best endings of an anime that I have seen. Of course, I had read the information about what is stated in the spoiler block, but I had figured out that this was a colony world and not a place where people were originally from prior to reading that info...

I have it pre-ordered with TRSI and they lists that it will be released in December 2012 (don't know who is right)

And if one looks at the listing itself, the release date has yet to be determined (I think 12/12/12 is just used to fill the db field), as far as Right Stuf knows. I tend to put more stock in TSRI's street dates than Amazon, personally.
But, yeah, since I also have it pre-ordered as of this last sale, I'm hoping FUNi gives us a more definite date sometime soon.

Exactly. I sussed that out way before the ending without ever looking at the DVD blurb.

Me too. I didn't really find it ambiguous... Considering the range of messy, inexplicable and surreal endings you quite frequently get in anime, if anything I would have expected people to complain that it was too neat/happy/mundane or something. I really liked it, anyway.

Agreed, I loved the ending and got directly from the show the ship's actual original purpose.
Oh, yes! The official site confirms that in addition those original staffers being back, Hitomi Kuroishi is also back to compose the music! Hopefully that also means she'll call back in some of her old Dolce Triade group too.

They should also make that sequel to Yukikaze while they're at it. Making a trailer for a nonexistent sequel just for the lulz was cruel.

What, the Mave-chan OVA wasn't good enough for you? The only anime I've ever watched, taken the DVD out of the player, and placed it directly into a shredder.

The Mave-chan OVA sucked but if they had went through with this (the second half; the first half is just flashback) I would've forgiven them for that crap.

I'm familiar with it, I have the BD box. But I doubt there'll be any more Yukikaze from Gonzo, even if they do manage to fully "resurrect."
