Pyradox posted:Well, not Tanikaze - he's still as much of a cardboard cutout as he ever was and seems to just be repeating the same interactions over and over. How many times has the Captain asked him to defend Sidonia at this point? She keeps asking but I don't ever get the sense he was having second thoughts. Or really any thoughts at all on the matter.

Phew, the show is getting another season. Hooray! This was pretty good, not anything super incredibly groundbreaking? But a really solid show that adapts the manga well. The CG even got better as time went on, or maybe I was just getting used to it? But for the last episode things definitely looked a lot smoother and nicer.

The next season preview was all I ever wanted to see in a preview if they were going to do a second season. Also if you goons who enjoyed the anime but haven't read the manga, I highly suggest you check it out. http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Sidonia-No-Kishi DO NOT READ THE CHAPTER TITLES!

I'd suggest the very start, really. Some bits were cut along the way and others changed to fit the 12 episode anime format better. The anime was great, but if you started reading from where it left off, there'd be several plot points that'd make you scratch your head. (Also, the manga has been licensed by Vertical.)

I will say two things. 1) Best girl incoming 2) This will be the moment where Sidonia starts to diverge from the superzombie siege mentality as exemplified by AoT, into something grander and stranger

Holy poo poo, they ended that fight with a loving rocket punch. Between that and the Battle of Endor vibe to the whole fight against the hive-ship, it was great to see the show remembering to play it oldschool sometimes.

So did gauna-Hoshijiro disintegrate because he destroyed her main body?

No, because Ena-Hoshijiro was originally attached to a Gauna-Hoshijiro, which got exploded earlier. Just what happened is crucial to the next arc of the story.

Izana.  Though I've gotta say, Knights of Sidonia has the weirdest love interests. I'm pretty happy for a second season, sometimes I found it difficult to follow the manga (probably due to an uneven fan translation) and in some ways the anime streamlined the story and made it easier to digest.

Season 1 is coming to Netflix in July as an exclusive. Somehow they are calling it a Netflix Original though so some people thought it meant Netflix is making an anime. http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/70301578?locale=en-US I like how the description calles Nagate a low-born youth.

This turned out pretty great; I can't get enough of Izana's pouting. That fight with Benisuzume (or whatever) was fun and frantic but suffered because of the frame rate. I want the frame interpolated version of that asap.

Anyways, the faces (specially when Tanikaze gets kicked by any of the clone sisters, or the mechanic) are pretty good in the manga, even if the show has mastered 3D pouting. The show covers chapters 1-26 so you guys could read those to get some extra background or whatever. trucutru fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Jun 28, 2014 |

I did just that and one big thing stands out: Manga/Future anime (?) spoilers Benisuzume's still alive?! In the show her destruction seemed pretty final, but from what I can hazard, she's a constant threat throughout the manga so there seems to be a pretty big divergence there...

Foaming could presumably be a response to extreme shock rather than just death. The only difference in the anime is that they didn't spell out that she survived by showing the core afterwards.

This is prior to Ren jumping down infront of Nagate and Izana concerning her clone sister En who was still in a coma from an earlier battle. O...onigiri

It's been a few years since I put the Manga down about halfway through vol. 4...am I misremembering things or was the whole harem thing a lot more subtle in the manga? When I first heard about this show I was light "ugh, CG characters...bleh that worked great in Berserk, right?" Nope, THIS IS THE GODDAMN FUTURE RIGHT HERE. Someone finally got it right. Sometimes you can't even tell. These are the best cell-shaded CG characters since the PS2 Shin Megami Tensei games. (And it's way, way better than that.) Phobophilia posted:1) Best girl incoming As much as I want to like AoT, unless they start seriously moving the plot along in season 2 I may give up on it. I think Knights of Sidonia may have ruined me on dragged-out cocktease plotting for a very long time. VideoTapir fucked around with this message at 12:07 on Jun 30, 2014 |

grrarg posted:The last episode's CG looked better because most of the episode was well-directed action sequences. The character animation, like the captain taking a deep breath, was as bad as the first episode. As someone who just binged the show out of boredom on netflix: you are objectively wrong.

Interestingly, the final episode on Netflix is apparently considerably longer (6-8 minutes) than the one that aired on Japanese TV. Some kind of director's cut?

I just discovered this show on Netflix. It's the first anime I've been drawn into in several years and am really enjoying it so far. I just finished episode 3 and am disappointed that awesome knight squad 1 managed to get themselves killed right off the bat. I found myself hecking the characters - "Hey guys, this is maybe why you don't send out a single squad. Or let people romantically involved with each other be on the same four person squad. Or broadcast a mission live to all the cadets." I mean maybe the immortal captain knew this was going to happen and it was all necessary, or that things get a bit slack after a century. But still. It also reminds me I should start reading "Attack on Titian" again.

They may have had the skills, but they lacked experience. When things started going wrong they panicked and fell apart.

I got a Netflix trial just to watch this and it better come to Blu-ray/DVD too since my ISP is probably being throttled and I couldn't really get good quality video (although given how most Netflix originals like OITNB have made it to disc I'd assume it's gonna happen). First episode was cool. The mechs have a sort of Assault Suits Valken/Cybernator look going for them which I like and I'm not too put off by the CGI. It kind of does work for the mechs and although there's a little uncanny valley the characters look pretty alright. Definitely sticking with it. Oh, and the OP rocks. Love how the main tune kicks in.

I like this show because it has characters who are not given specific genders but still get jealous over the male protagonist. I don't really like the animation direction at all; it reminds me of Tron: Uprising and though I think that show owns, I too hated the animation with that. I am on episode 5 I think, right now, getting a real Battlestar Galactica feel right now.

I thought around episode 5 was when the animation started to get better, but like other people said maybe I was just used to it by that point. Which is the best site for reading the manga? I've been using mangafox, is kissmanga better/worse/equal?
