Without the wonders of modern telecommunications important messages still have to be relayed by hand. Vanship pilots fulfil this purpose piloting small aircraft capable of floating by themselves. Klaus and Lavie, a pilot and navigator of a vanship, go about their ordinary lives as couriers until one day they help another vanship which has been gunned down and agree to take over it's mission. The delivery of a certain cargo to the 'Kill them all Silvana', the most lethal warship know to either side in a bitter war. As they deliver their cargo they become dredged into the politics of the situation and their strong feelings drag them into the crew of the Silvana as they make preperation for an attack which could shatter the face of the world.

Personal Opinions
Big Big Moon
Every person who's ever thought it would be cool to drive an airship needs to watch the first episode of Last Exile at the very least. If you don't like the gorgeous animation quality, the steampunk atmosphere, the :awesome: adventures of failure expert Mullin Shetland, or the weird story revolving around some hyperspace thing called the Grand Stream, the airship battles will knock you out of your seat. I didn't care for the whiny main characters or quasi-politics that littered the story, but seeing such well-animated fleets of skyscraper-sized floating warships beating the everloving shit out of each other with gigantic cannons is worth the viewing time. The funny thing about Last Exile is that the main characters, Klaus, Lavi, and their cliche technopathic child friend, are annoying and uninteresting, but everyone around them is great fun to watch, especially perfectionist pilot Tatiana and delightfully insane Dio.
