I like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fpJqzmEYx2Q&#038;search=last%20exile%20\">the OP<\/a>.  The series is not too long (seven discs).  The art style looks good.

It&#8217;s highly rated at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.netflix.com\/Search?v1=last+exile\">Netflix<\/a>, but I&#8217;ve long since concluded those people are raving mad.  <\/p>\n<p>If anyone has any non-spoiler comments on this series, please drop a comment.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve had very little luck looking for good anime on my own.
