Ok... REALLY the moment you've all been waiting for this time.
Dio manages to avoid his predetermined fate, Lavie gets in a couple good parting shots and Sophia takes over the whole world through the use of... Gundamic tactics?
Oh, and It's probably no surprise to anyone at this point, but there's quite a bit of musicalness to this one.
Animation is the rightful property of Gonzo Digimation and I do believe Funimation once they get that sorted out. Seriously, look for a box set in the near future if this has intruiged you. I've yet to get anything but thanks for the recomendation.
Music Used
Racer Vanship by Unwardil (To the tune of Play that Funky Music)
Died in your Arms by Cutting Crew
Hide and Seak by Imogen Heap
Seven Steps to Heaven by Miles Davis
Last Exile from the Last Exile OST and I'll credit Dolce Tirade
Through the Steam and Clouds (Me again, to the tune of, yes, Dragon Force's TTFAF)
Over the Abridge with accompaniment from Dolce Tirade again (Over the Sky is the original)
(Hey, if you can't use the series OST in the finale, when CAN you?)
Oh and of course, thanks especially to Ezekieru for photoshoping the picture of Sophiamidala.
Lyrics have been requested for the songs so... Here they are!
Fly that Racer Vanship White Boy...
Once I was a child scion
Destined to lead all of the Guild
But there was just one problem... Yes there was...
The writing staff is really unskilled
And so I stole a vanship
High tailed it out of there double time
So contrived and random... yes it is...
Just like this verses final rhyme
And we were pitching and rolling and cruisin through the grand stream
and thats when it hit me, I really need a Navigator!
Fly that racer Vanship faster...
Fly that racer Vanship high
Hit that racer Vanship booster
Open the throttle and burn that vanship past the finish line.
Through the Steam and Clouds...
On the eighteenth of Tragos, when the guild has been destroyed
We are the first to take the fort, victry is our reward
Lighting raids on Disith Miniageese, fighting to reclaim our land (go up)
The military functions better under my command
Battles rage, Fleets converge and ships sink all across Anatoray (go up)
Commander Nestor knows his stuff he just go away!
So with no regrets, abandon the old fortress in the sky
We cant defeat them, so well make them die!
And now all Prester is mine, Im empress for evermore
Alex and She Who Must Be Obeyed werent so hardcore
Dont need Alex, dont need Vince, dont need any dark prince
Im more badass than them anyway!
So sing out loud! Hail Sophia here to stay
Because if you dont bow down to me
Youd better hope when youre flogged you dont see another day
If you live Ill only whip you once again.
Over the Abridge...
Now the show is done and we must be on our way
We hope you enjoyed it too, but of course if you didnt whyd you stay
So thank you for your time
We thought maybe wed end with a little style
There are few abridgeds that reach the end
A historic event like this only happens once in a while
Though Last Exile abridged is finaly over
It seems likely Unwardil will keep going strong
Keep your eyes peeled for new things in the future
Shameless plugs are over and done, now lets finish up with a sweet ending song
Thats why youve all stuck around...
If a pilot, is what you really want to be
Take me with you because I want to be your wings
Well of course I am speaking metaphorically
Aluminium is the stuff, fiber glass will do in a pinch, canvass too
Not meat and bone thats just dumb
And remember, when flying into banks of clouds
Gyroscopic controls will keep your heading clear
Honestly though, youre best to just steer clear of them
Hail stones twice the size of your fist, striking many times in the face, at great speed
Can really ruin your day
I LOVED IT! ...but I didn't get the ending. lol "We're all in agreement, though. We should've stayed on Preston." I'm afraid I didn't catch that (along with a million other references, but since this is the last one, I might as well get it). Mind explaining it, please? lol

Oh, not preston, Prestor, the name of their planet that Sophia has turned into even more of a hell hole, the intimation being that nobody would ever willingly choose to live in Newfoundland.

Quick question is the manga any good?

@rutger5000
Last Exile is a little odd in that it was never based off a manga. It was always just intended to be it's own little 26 episode long anime. I'm sure if it had been more popular it would probably have spawned a spin-off manga, whatever they're called, but yeah, there is no manga to last exile.
