The best openings offer condensed versions of everything that’s good and promising about the title in question.

A letdown in almost every possible way imaginable, which is all the more disappointing because the storyline and setting has potential.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the first two episodes of “Last Exile: Fam, The Silver Wing” pop up on Hulu Plus.

Many of the songs on the CD consist of soaring string arrangements, quite appropriate for a series that’s all about flying and freedom in the skies.

The lush and detailed world depicted in the anime series truly makes it a wonder to watch.
