[Dr Kain]

So we watched the next disc to Last Exile (8-14) and I'm starting to get bored. Except for this white hair kid named Dio, none of the characters are even remotely interesting and it feels like the plot has just completely stalled. The last four episodes were exceptionally uninspiring. Also, for being 14 episodes into it, they still haven't explained anything about how this world works. Who is at war? Why is there a war? What caused this war to occur? Who is The Guild? Why are people afraid of The Guild? Why do they make the rules of the kingdom? What exactly makes up a kingdom? How is the emperor chosen? None of these have been answered at all. So far the best episode was the one with the Chocobo Racing (as I call it). I've invested in it this far, so I'm going to finish the series, but at this point I know this is a series I will never bother to revisit.
