Last Exile -Ginyoku no Fam- – 04
「Dubious move」
The fourth episode of Last Exile: Fam tries awfully hard to please. I think it would be well served to try a little less hard as it develops.

「北海道の鮭を使ったあら汁 326kcal」 (Hokkaidō no Shake o Tsukatta Arajiru 326kcal)
“Fish Soup with Hokkaido Salmon 326kcal”
They’ve gotta start using guys for the break image soon, right?
「ボイスメモ」 (Boisu Memo)
“Voice Memo”
It was a big episode for Yukkii. He’s finally come to realize that Yuno is the perfect girl, except for that one nagging flaw – she’s a stalker and her house is full of bodies. I feel you, Little Brother – haven’t we all been there?
「魔少年」 (Mashounen)
“Devil Boy”
In some ways, Gundam AGE continues to follow a somewhat predictable progression to establish Flit as the Gundam’s pilot, but the introduction of “devil boy” Desil Galette (Takagaki Ayahi) manages to keep me guessing about the direction the series is headed.
「就任、解任、もう堪忍」 (Shūnin, Kainin, Mō Kannin)
“Hired, Fired, Tired”
At Wagnaria, it’s customary to be greeted by blackmail and falcon punches on (hell, even after) your first day.
「謀略の夜」 (Bouryaku no Yoru)
“Night of Stratagems”
The episode title said it all, so I don’t think anyone should be terribly disappointed that the action dialed back this week in favor of more exposition. It’s not like more exposition is ever a bad thing when it comes to Fate/Zero, but Kiritsugu did blow up a building to make sure everyone’s paying attention.
「クロの家出」 (Kuro no Iede)
“Kuro Runs Away From Home”
If you’re tempted to skip over this OVA as a superfluous extra – don’t. It might not be essential to the overall plot, but it’s highly rewarding just the same.
「たくさんの、いっぱい」 (Takusan no, Ippai)
“Lots of, Lots”
Ritsuko fans will likely be both pleased and disappointed with this episode, as we got to see her stand in for a mumps-ridden Azusa with some of the shoddiest artwork to date. The quality has always fluctuated with some shortcuts taken when possible, but wow, this week was a doozy since it looked like the animators finished the episode in their sleep.
「Would you love me?」
While waiting for Yukiko to recuperate before the team resumes the investigation, Yuu is finally able to enjoy high school life and make more friends with issues social links.
「許されざる者」 (Yurusarezaru Mono)
“Unforgiven Ones”
At first glance, this was the most straightforward and unambiguous episode in recent weeks. However, a closer look at some of the implications reveals that we’re really no closer to understanding what’s going on than we started.
