How much do sky pirates pay for corn? A buck an ear.
So Pretty
The backgrounds are beautiful. Look at how much detail there is. Even the CG ships look great. Scenery porn at its finest.
International Diplomacy
So the Ades empress is a loli.
She obviously has no clue what is going on in her empire. Prediction: a happy ending, where the empress and Princess Millia become bestest best friends.
Alternatively, we learned that Fam is an orphan, found in an airship, clutched tightly in her mother’s arms. The obvious conclusion is that Fam is also a princess of some sorts. Maybe she will hold a coup d’etat.
Sky Pirates are Nice
How nice the sky pirates are is approaching the point of ridiculousness. They’re all poor refugees from war, and one big happy family. They’re honorable, and will do any favor asked of them. It seems that the only thing they won’t do is pirating.
Fam’s cheerfulness is starting to get on my nerves. Give it a rest already. And Millia isn’t helping by giving her someone to cheer up. Oh well, it seems like we’ll be back to the action next episode.

Common mistranslation I’m seeing here. They aren’t sky pirates（空賊）. They’re sky-people （空族）. They happen to make their living via some privateering, but they aren’t an entire clan of pirates. Distinction needs to be made there, since it seems the fansubbers are doing a sloppy lazy translation instead of reading the actual text. Yes, they’re nice. They make enough to survive, and they are careful to maintain their livelihood by not becoming an obvious enemy or threat to any one nation.
Ooh, thanks, great to know! That translation makes much more sense. I guess that now with the momentum the “sky pirates” translation has built up from the previous Last Exile, it is hard to change. And pirates does sound cooler, if less accurate.
