Knights of Sidonia
| CG, sci fi, mecha, etc. And it's not the best that's currently airing, Ping Pong is. Sidonia is like 4th or 5th. |

In terms of Manga (personal opinion) I'd have to agree, haven't read it in a couple years though. SnK is one of Nihei's worse Manga though. |

I actually think Sidonia's character interaction and development are more deeply written than in his other work. |

| In the west it's just not that hyped up and doesn't have anything that people typically get excited over these days like otaku references, fanservice, and dialogue that plays itself of as smart while also being wacky and genre saavy at the same time. Most people probably just look at it and think of it as cliche I'm willing to bet. Also shows that actually just try to straight up tell a story and build a world without any sort of gimmick don't tend to get a lot of attention anymore either. It's more about the spectacle and finding ways to frame things in an unusual way these days. That and CGI is an automatic turn off for a lot of people. |

I didn't even try to watch it, art looks too horrible, I don't believe that it's plot is that good that it compensates for art, besides it's a sport anime and ping pong doesn't seem very interesting sport to me. |

| I decided to check out Ping Pong. 3 episodes in, I'd say it's good - however because it's in an entirely different genre than Sidonia no Kishi, you honestly can't compare them directly in the same aspects. It's subjective, and simply a matter of preference. |

| I tried ping pong, it's good, but this crappy art style is too much, looks like some 5-year old's drawings, I guess I am more into mainstream stuff like Sidonia;( |
IntroverTurtle said: Z4k said: Something better than whatever you are smoking.Huh? Ping pong story, art better than Sidonia? Lol what are you smoking? Those two are complete opposite of each other both in story and art. I don't even want to know what made you believe these two should've been compared with each other. |

| Sidonia has a far better story and character development than anything out right now but because of the CGI a lot of people avoid it like the plague. It's a little disappointing that they didn't at least invest in better CGI. O well, still a good show worth watching. |

catullus said: Whatever you say.thats just your incorrect opinion and yes opinions can be incorrect. My opinion is a fact because its the only one igaf about. Id rather stab myself in the eyes than watch ping pong. |

| Can we please avoid getting into pointless arguments with elitistSOLtrolls who believe that kitsch like KON or Clannad are a bigger masterpiece than Akira? |

This is basically a much better Attack on Titan (imo), we would most certainly have had hype for this show if it wasn't in CGI. Oh well, it's their loss I guess. |

| Best show of the season, but saying that CGI doesn't really bother me. |

| I think everything has been said. Ping Pong is awesome, people dislike CGI no matter how good the series actually is and Sidonia is better than AoT. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Because of the CGI and there's no sight of moe anywhere. Sidonia is my 2nd favorite this season just right behind Ping Pong. |
 |
| People don't like the CGI, but they're missing out. Top 5 anime easily this season. |
| Sidonia > Captain Earth |

jhoanais said: Sidonia > Captain Earth Of course. Captain Earth is just bleh at this point; lots of plot conveniences and cheesy moments, not to mention a butt load of technobabble and too little explanation to what the hell is going on. People keep saying it gets better later on, but I'm not expecting anything (All I want are some explanations please.) |

SleepingEntity said: jhoanais said: Sidonia > Captain Earth Almost everything > Captain Earth I can't even deny that truth lol |
| Not to turn this into a thread about Captain Earth, but basically I can't help but feel that it's something like Anohana/Anonatsu at heart. The problem is it's trying too hard to be a mecha like Gundam when it should stay slice of life, and the results aren't pretty. Edited for grammar. Never using my phone to comment again. |

| In almost every case, the popularity of anime for the season is already decided BEFORE THE SEASON EVEN STARTS. Whichever anime was the most hyped, best marketed, has popular studios/directors, and panders to the weebs most will win. There are very few exceptions to this rule. Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei is a great example. Extremely hyped show. So many people were talking about it before the season started, its hype alone was the reason it's number 1 in views. It is a very mediocre and unremarkable show that would not be in the least bit popular if it did not have the 1-up. If you think anime are popular because of how good they are, you are a fucking moron. |

The problem is its trying to hard to be a mecha like Gundam when it should stay slice of life, and the results aren't pretty. You're referring to Captain Earth right? Because, I agree. It should have less mecha and more of the slice of life and relationship developments just like the Ano shows. jhoanais said: Sidonia > Captain Earth Yeah. I think they both do well at what they're aiming for though. Sidonia is obviously the more serious and dark one. Captain Earth's faults are that there's too much to be covered at this point. |
archrook said: The art of Ping Pong isn't crappy. its different and fantastic. If you hate it so much I'd say you will miss all the great anime of Yuasa - Tatami, Kaiba, Kemonozume and Mindgame. I don't see how the anime would suffer from a better art, it's not like I request bishounens and kawai girls. Ping Pong art is just too retarded, even I can draw that crappy, looks more like lazyness or saving money. He should write books or LN. |
| Are you talking about ep6? It didn't seem that unpleasant and slow to me, so I don't understand, sorry. I don't see how plot/characters would would suffer from good art. I remember how many peolpe didn't like art style in Shiki, but it was 100 times better than this halfassed drawing in ping pong;/ I can't really see it as "style", reminds me of old disney cartoons;/ |

Ping Pong art is just too retarded, even I can draw that crappy, looks more like lazyness or saving money. He should write books or LN. Your taste in art is rather narrowed to familiarity then. Ping Pong's art, for a show about characterisations, is way more expressive than most. Sidonia suffers on that front because of its art, and characters are just flat. This difference translates directly to the amount of information a viewer gets from any scene. Whereas Sidonia needs an entire episode to convey a simple event of stranded people, the same information in Ping Pong would've been conveyed just as effectively via a 10 sec montage. It's simply comes down to great vs merely above average direction. You fall under the category of people who like something just because it's different, even when it's quality is nowhere near praiseworthy. Ping Pong is one of these cases. Just because something is different doesn't give it a free pass. Sidonia is also definitely not normal, but its production values, music, story, atmosphere, emotional impact, etc etc are superb. |
| +1 Ilyenacid Nicely said! :D I also love them both. |
galimx said: lol you are funny, you sure can draw like that, yeah. dont be stupid and learn something about animation first, then talk its crap. Aren't animation and art different things? I don't give a crap about animation usually, all I heard that animation in Ping Pong not okay too, like they are all bending in strange angles like they don't have bones or gravity is not working, but i am talking about drawings. Characters are drawn poorly without putting much effort. Al lI know about anime/manga creation process is mostly from Bakuman, they put a lot of effort into drawings and halfassed art like main character's uncle's ancient manga wasn't really considered good. |
