| Whoaaaaa finally finished watching it after several months gap (?) or it has been almost 1 year orz. But it's not disappointing at all. Definitely one of the best anime on Spring 2014. Nagate's oblivious as ever, geeeeez. But here comes 2nd season! Solid 8/10 from me. |

| I'm going to honestly say this entire anime had 'elitist crap' written all over it, hence why I avoided it up until now However for once, I have to willingly admit I was wrong. This was actually a fantastic anime from start to finish. Felt a bit like a crossover of Muv-Luv and Babylon 5 I think (which are both amazing as well) Season 2 should be sick~ |
  |
| Breath taking, never a dull moment, 8/10 |
 |
| Awesome mecha anime! Just finished watching it but im still confused by what i saw after the credit roll. How is Benisuzume still alive? Or is that another clone? Or did the clone from EBD escape somehow? Or maybe i should wait for second season. No idea when it starts airing tho :( |

No idea when it starts airing tho :( Based on what I read online, it's a prominent character from the manga who is a Gauna (not Benisuzume). Second season starts airing in Japan in April 2015, and I wouldn't be surprised if Netflix picked it up and handled the localization for other territories again around July or so like with the first season. For my opinion on the first season: Great action, great finale. Nagate tries to mend his relationship with Kazuto and not only does he get blown off but Kazuto goes into that room where the humanoid Gauna is? I don't like where that's going haha. Can't wait for season 2! Season 1 gets an 8/10 or 8.5/10 from me. Great OP and ED, great OST and voice acting, great animation, CG, and action, good characters, and a decent plot. |
| a solid 8/10 for me... looking forward to the airing sequel |

| Story: 8 Charachters: 6 Animation: 7 Enjoyment: 11 I can non-exaggeratingly state that this show saved anime for me, it's been months and months since I've been able to marathon a series that wasn't moe-desu or Yuri. This is simply how Sci-Fi should be done, I'm now a part of the world so much so that not even the cringy MC or tech conveniences could stop me from enjoying every single episode immensely. It was weird, it was thrilling, it was exciting. As many people have stated the sound effects are phenomenal, and personally that's something essential for me to enjoy any sort of action sequence. I want to hear the crunches, I want to hear the rumbles and I want to hear the impact. I doubt any of those sweeping manoeuvres would be half as apealing without the thrum of those engines. I'm just going to start on the second season now. My only regret is that I didn't hop on the bandwagon later and have a whole second season I could marathon. Lala best bear. |

| Well... wow! This anime took me by surprise, to be honest. Very interesting story. They created some mystery and never let up the tension, always hold the intrigue. I'm still very curious what the gauna, kabis are. Also still want to know the truth behind immortal committee. I hope 2nd season will answer all of the questions. It somehow reminds me SnK, but is a bit better imo, because of non-existent asspulls, at least I haven't seen any. Very Solid 9/10 P.S the OST and overall sound effects, OMG. They really put some effort into this. and the animation, my gosh, very unique and very fluent. To be honest, I first time see that great full-CGI anime. |

| Started this anime today, and finished it in a day, liked it a lot, but i still just cant accept that Hoshijiro died.... This is the first time i cant accept a death in anime... I saw a lot, i liked all those characters but... this one was way too dramatic... just after she started to have a relationship with Nagate, and then they kill her in such a way... NO! :( Please someone who read the manga PM me and tell me she is alive please... |
| WOW What an Ending!!!! It really does remind me of the ending in Gundam 079 :) Man i really thought Tanikaze or Izana would be killed. Benisuzume vs Tanikaze. I'm glad Tanikaze has finally realized she's not the real Hoshijiro and won't hold back any more. I doubt she's dead just like that. Whenever i hear Kyoui no Kabizashi, i knew someone was going to die!! This is like the Zeta theme when someones about to die :O Man i almost thought all of Squad Unit 1 would die, but glad they survived!! Kunato being salty that he wasn't included in the fight nor had the glory to join them. That's what happens when an arrogant egotistical asshole tries to force his way towards the top. Glad you got what you deserve you bastard. I'm watching the new angle versions and they added that new explosion effect's that not found on the TV version and it runs around 33 minutes compared to the usual 24 minutes length. Also they switch back the scenes. Ren appears first before Tanikaze visits Kunato, probably more difference there. Shame the BD's didn't have the special message announcement of S2. I give this show 9/10. First time ever i enjoyed a CGI Anime. I'm not a fan of CGI as others also said, but man it really fits the theme and era of Knights of Sidonia. Can't wait for S2!! Still thinking if i should watch it now or wait for S2 BD's!!! |
| Fuck you Sephiroth. |
 |
| Amazing finale! Those battles really kept me on the edge of my seat! And Izana is okay, yay! Looking forward to season 2! ★ 5/5 |
| sugoi sugoi sugoi desu ne !!!!!!! going to next season now  |
| Pinnacle of mecha genre. 1/10 |
 |
| Wow, the implosion looked beautiful. This episode was amazing, the teamwork and the scene where the seven supposed lost members died coming back was a joy to behold. I guess Gauna Hosjishiro died when that Gauna mech died aswell, as it was part of it's original gauna mass. I wasn't sure about this show going into it, felt kind of slow and bland really but the more episodes in, the more excited I got and I wasnt really sure about the animation (CGI) style but it kinda worked surprisingly. I'm really excited for season 2 and will watch it right after, especially knowing there's so many unanswered questions and I'm sure a lot of story to tell. Easy and solid 9/10 |

| I can't believe Sword Art Online is rated higher than this show. 9/10 |

| Very cool anime. I wasn't sure how much I'd like this one. I watched the first episode when it aired and dropped it because I didn't think much would come of it. Gave it another try semi-recently (in English dub this time) and I'm glad we decided to watch it. Loved the story. It was told in a way that was pretty easy for the audience to understand and most of the action scenes looked amazing. OP and ED fit pretty nicely. I was very unconvinced after an episode or two how Johnny Yong Bosch would do, but I was very happy with him by the end. There were a few art-clipping hiccups but I'm pretty forgiving on them when the art style is full CG. After watching Ars Nova, I'm pretty comfortable with it. Very much looking forward to the second season. 8/10 |
| As usual, the sounds were gorgeous and the fights are tense~ Kobayashi definitely felt the tension :3 That deep breath and silent sigh of relief gave it away. The battle has been decided~ Nagate destroyed that mass-murdering alien death puppet with a unnervingly sultry laugh with a fistful of boomstick! It was a very emotional moment to see the remaining team survive that Planet Gauna implosion :') He finally made up with Sephiroth. It takes real guts to do that and I'm proud of him. I'll definitely miss the unconventional Tanikaze harem... 9 5-year old twins, a jealous 3rd gender, a spunky executive officer, a couple hundred year old veteran hottie, a gauna cutie that took form of his love interest and many more. A tragic ending for Nagate... Gaunajiro must've disintegrated along with Benisuzume and "her" mech since they were the last remaining parts of that specific gauna. All the progress they've made together will hopefully not get deleted completely ~_~ I'm definitely gonna watch season 2 soon! I need to know which Hoshijiro was in that ornate Gauna armor. She called him Tanikaze and I had an ominous feeling... 9 for me~ |
 |
| This had some nice action scenes but nothing mindblowing and the characters were rather generic. 6/10 |
  |
| This series was not bad in fact it brought it for me especially with the action, it was beyond good. The speech he gave to Kunato for him to comeback and not quit was great but he should've not done it, that guy was a jerk and should be left alone. I hope season 2 will bring it like season 1, because Nagate still does not know he is being used by Kobayashi and the council. So 7/10 for keeping me entertained. |

| These last episodes were amazing! I had alot of doubts and uncertainty at the beggining, mostly due to the CG, but also the cast seeming weak... it feels like the CG improved quite alot and the cast sure got a bit more likeable through the middle, but not only that, they were able to keep alot of the tension and promising atmosphere going! It sucks they had to kill best girl... and what happened to Hoshijiro clone?! Her death was a bit less painfull with that (twisted) remaint behind. Anyways, how the last few missions played, things getting more and more dire, towards the big conclusion with that score bumping, this looked like a great movie conclusion. EPIC, and salute to everyone on doing what was needed to achieve mission complete. |

| Intense and nail-biting action there in destroying that behemothic Gauma. Only question is what happened to Placenta Hoshijiro. This is a pretty cool anime. The plot and action were expertly conceived, and even more impressively delivered. Even the soundtrack was an exceptional listen. What lets it down a bit is the slog of a first half and somewhat dull characters who felt like they were just along for the ride, but the anime's pros make up for it. |
