Crest of the Stars - ENDING (Lafiel version)

This is the Lafiel version ending to the anime series Crest of the Stars(星界の紋章 / Seikai no Monshou)

Crest of the Stars and Banner of the Stars (series I and II) follow Jinto Lynn (aka Ghintec Linn), a young noble whose world was taken over by a once human race of space inhabitants known as the Abh. When Jinto was a young boy, his father, Rock Lynn, under threat of invasion, handed over their world, Martine, to the Abh in exchange for a position within Abh nobility. The story of Crest of the Stars picks up as he meets the young, strong yet fragile Abh princess, Lafiel (aka Lamhirh). As Lafiel and Jinto travel to military school they become caught in the beginnings of the war between the Abh Empire & the Four Nations Alliance of humankind...

Lucanaoe's NOTES: Young blossoming romance, submarine style spaceship battles, and cute elfen space princesses. Think "Wonder Years" minus the narration meets "Star Wars episode 3.5" meets "Laputa Castle in the Sky." This series/manga is not very well known due to it's cherishing pace & mature(but not explicit) nature. Make no mistake, it is an original story with excellent direction that brings subtle yet nostalgic memories of childhood. This is a thought provoking space saga with Japan-meets-West historical undertones. There's no animosity, gore, Emo-rage, overly-narrated action-moves, loss of innocense, dramedy, or psychadelic colors, so teenagers, you've been warned.

kiasume ni boku o jiyuu ni shinaide okure
mukashi nara doko e demo tonde yuketa kedo
yo no naka no kaze ni tsubasa ga obiata sarete ano koro no youni
umaku toberu jishin ga nain da
dakara ima wa mada torikago no naka
I WANNA FLY SOMEDAY

ushinawareta aozora gamodoru made
kimi no tameni uta demo utatte you

yume o mita itsuka deatta nakama-tachi to
ichi ni ichu akiru koto naku tonde ita koro no
dakedo ima wa mada torikago no naka
I WANNA FLY AGAIN

usuyogoreta kono sora o mira mitsutsu
mayori no nai kokoro de iru tameni

ashita o machi wa bite kodoku to bukiatte
bigeru koto naku koko ni iyou
itsuka kitto kono torikago o tete
I WANNA FLY AWAY

ushinawareta aozora gamodoru made
kimi no tameni uta demo utatte you
sasayaku youni subete o ubau youni
kyou mo shizuka ni toki wa nagareteku




(English translation)

Please, don't set me free out of pity.
A Long time ago, I could fly anywhere but,
I don't have the confidence to fly like the days when my wings were threatened by the wind in the middle of the night.
So for now, I'm still in a birdcage.
I WANNA FLY SOMEDAY

'Till the lost blue sky returns,
I might as well sing a song for you.

I had a dream, from the days that I flew around all day,
without tiring, with the friends I met back then.
But for now, I'm still in a birdcage.
I WANNA FLY AGAIN

I'll keep on watching this blemished sky,
to keep my heart from straying from its course.

I'll grow tired of waiting for tomorrow and come to terms with solitude.
I'm going to escape, I'll just stay here,
But definately, someday, I'll leave this birdcage.
I WANNA FLY AWAY

'Till the lost blue sky returns,
I might as well sing a song for you.
Quietly, as if it would snatch everything away,
today too, does time flow away in silence.

Nice ending with Lafiel. Crest/Banner of the Stars is one my favorite series and Lafiel is one of my favorite characters.

[lucanaoe]

Yeah me too.

Heh.... The Lafiel version has twice as many views as the Jinto version. You have been demoted to 'supporting character,' Jinto.

[papamurk]

BEst anima ever !

[cloudcityguardian]

god, i love this series.

[newagepun]

The anime isn't for everyone. If you like sci-fi space drama/opera, and this one involving space elves and humanity then you will love it. Another show similar to this is none other than Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

I can't find that really pretty song from this anime.... you know the first episode of Crest.... where Jinto is like amazed my the sky when the Empire is taking over? when hes a kid...lemme know what it's called if you do

[bobalisutol]

best ending ever 

[charizardpal]

I didn't like it either, though I enjoyed reading the first manga. I'd like to know how it all ends too, but the series 1) doesn't show an indication of ending (its on hiatus) & 2) people have stopped translating it in any medium

[nirsan14]

lofl whats that xD

[gungnir2357]

I saw only a few episodes of this so far and so far I don't really like it. Not my cup of tea I guess. Well, maybe it will get better latter? But I love this ending music! It sounds like those old 1950's songs, except its in space! Is there a longer version of this song?

[Tanis1Lionheart]

One of the best animes/manga/books out.

[maemae25]

best ed music

[ArEldaron]
