I think lat exile looks really cool and they have two dvds at my local gamestop. I'm thinking about picking them up but have one question.
I've read stuff about them and I know there's no nudity or crud like that, but one question remains. Do they take God's name in vain? this is my biggest concern. violence and cussing don't really bother me. Thanks in advance. :)

From what I have seen and remember, I don't recall them taking God's name in vain.

The do have some explisitives, but from what I remember, it was less than a few episodes of Star Trek: TNG.

Also, check the review thread: http://www.christiananime.net/showthread.php?t=12793

I haven't seen all of every episode, but I don't recall it either.

Similarly, I haven't seen all quite all of Last Exile, but I don't remember anyone taking the Lord's name invain in the twenty episodes or so that I've seen.

If it eases your conscience any, I don't think that the Lord's name is used in vain as much in subtitles, and even then I don't think they are accurate translations, but I'm also not a fluent speaker of Japanese.

There is very little violence in Last Exile and no taking of God's name at all. Its a great series!

What violence there is in LAst Exile is the result of the fact that they're at war.
However there is a series of scenes in the Guild Flagship where...

[spoiler] Alex Rowe is
shown hanging on a cross covered with roses that Delphine is using to torture
him with.Also he later kills her with his remaining strength by crushing her wind pipe.In an earlier scene Dio takes part in a Guild ritual where the winner has to
kill the other contestants in order to claim a sword that is the sign of leadership.
Finally after Dio has gone completely insane he dies falling out of his van ship.[/spoiler]

Please put that in a [/spoiler] block so people who have not seen the end of the series will not be spoiled.
