History Anime / LastExileFamTheSilverWing

Not to be confused with [[Literature/Silverwing the Silverwing book series]] or its [[WesternAnimation/Silverwing animated adaption]].

A [[Fall2011Anime 2011]] anime series from {{Gonzo}}, sequel to the 2003 series ''Anime/LastExile''.

Taking place two years after the original, ''Anime/LastExileFamTheSilverWing'' focuses on Fam and Giselle, "vespa" pilots who work as SkyPirates capturing battleships. But things change when they rescue Princess Liliana and Millia of the Kingdom of Turan, which is being invaded by the powerful Ades Federation led by Liliana's old friend, Premier Luscinia.

!!''Anime/LastExileFamTheSilverWing'' provides examples of:

''May the Wind be strong beneath your wings.'' ''And may good tailwinds bless your flight.''

** ThatsNoMoon: [[spoiler: Those are Exile ships with lotsa Naughty Tentacles ready to have their way with enemy targets.]]

* AnimalEaredHeadband: The ear warmers on Fam and Giselle's headphones are shaped like ears, and in case this was too subtle, Fam has a furry tail attached to her fannypack.

* EasilyForgiven: Although it make sense that they let Dian walk free after her heroism during the final battle, the fact ''still'' remains that [[spoiler:she shot Liliana]], so it's still odd that Fam would act as friendly toward her as she does.

* ShoutOut: The pilots of Glacies' extremely powerful vanships are ''all'' female, and they are referred to as "priestesses". [[Anime/{{Simoun}} Sounds familiar]]?

* ShoutOut: The pilots of Glacies' extremely powerful vanships are ''all'' female, and they are referred to as "priestesses". [[Anime/Simoun Sounds familiar]]?

* ShoutOut: The pilots of Glacies' extremely advanced vanships are 'all'' female, and they are referred to as "priestesses". [[Anime/Simoun Sounds familiar]]?

* EasilyForgiven: Although it make sense that they let Dian walk free after her heroism during the final battle, the fact ''still'' remains that [[spoiler:she shot Liliana]], so it's still odd that Fam treats her like before.

* BigBad: Luscinia Hafez
* BigDamnHeroes: ''Silvius'' in episode 17. The Silvana and the Anatoray-Disith fleet for the Alliance forces in episode 20.
* BiggerIsBetter: The Grand Exile is ''huge'' [[http://images.plurk.com/3abcbd3ee233e24ea29097d2bf975aa0.jpg ''huge'']], and is on an altogether different scale than the Turanian Exile and the Last Exile ( in the linked image, shown beside it for comparison). It is obviously imposing and very ''very'' intimidating.

* ChainsawGood: The Urbanus and its chainsaw wings make their return.

** While Fam and Giselle are extremely skilled at stealing ships, their attempt to capture the Silvius showed them just how out of their league they were.

** Invoked and Parodied with Millia's Meido outfit in episode 5. She attempts to use this to her advantage. Hilarity ensues.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The stylized white winged figure on Augusta Sara's personal standard. It's actually the Grand Exile.

* GratuitousRussian: The Glacies seiyu trying to speak Russian... The result is barely or not intelligible most of the time. It gets better later in the series and one of the seiyus is even a Russian native speaker.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Fam and Giselle. Tatiana and Alister, Sorush and Orang, even Luschinia and Alauda in the past. Last Exile loves its best friends.

* InSeriesNickname: "Gisey" (or ''Jize'' in Japanese syllables) for Giselle (''Jizeru'').

* OffModel: While much of the animation is good, you can tell where the animation budget did and didn't go and characters go off-model often enough. An example [[http://imgur.com/EMvoa]] from episode 5.

* RagnarokProofing: The [[spoiler:Grand Exile]], at first glance, is remarkably well-preserved and still in fuctioning order after more than six hundred years of dormancy. Later subverted in that, once Fam and her friends infiltrate it, it is revealed that it's seemingly unfinished and actually falling apart from the lack of maintenance.

* SkyPirate: Fam, Giselle and their crew.

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Dian

** Episode 2. [[spoiler:Liliana is kidnapped by Luscinia who reveals to the protagonists that their world is the original home world of the colonists who left in Exile ships including the one from Prester in the 1st series. Liliana is revealed to be an Exile activator just like Alvis and the six moons in the sky are Exile ships which Luscinia activates one of the Exiles to destroy Iglasia, the capital city of the Turan Kingdom, killing everyone there including the King himself.]]

* TheOtherDarrin: KanaHanazawa replaces Anna Shiraki as the voice of Alvis.

* Shotacon: Baroness Roshanak Babar wants Millia (dressed as a boy at this moment) as a price, when Fam & Giselle lose.

* GratuitousRussian: The Glacies seiyu trying to speak Russian... The result is barely or not intelligible most of the time.

* GratuitousRussian: The Glacies seiyu trying to speak Russian... The result is barely intelligible most of the time.

** ''Kartoffel'' is German for potato, just as "Spargel" is German for asparagus and "Kürbis" is pumpkin. Judging by the diet of Fam, Gisey, and their family, [[IncrediblyLamePun there are a lot of kartoffels in Kartoffel]][[hottip:*:the correct plural would be "Kartoffeln"!]].

* CatchPhrase: Some phrases are repeated often enough to be considered one, like the Adesians' "Gloria Augusta!", or the Sky Pirates' "Good tailwinds!" and "Those birdbrains!".

* Shotacon: Baroness Roshanak Babar wants Teddy as a price, when Fam & Giselle lose.
