| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- LOL, Nagate's face was priceless. This episode was more calmer than usual although there were still quiet moments of sadness in the first half. I like the pacing of the second half though as they gain some ground against the Gauna. Ending wasn't very pleasant though. |
 |
| So far relatively faithful to manga, even if they re-arranged some of stuff and padded out some of other stuff. I am pretty certain now that they will use the though. |
 |
| Human fused with Gauna! That new weapon and Tanikaze's shot was pretty amazing. To no longer need to use Kabizashis! The peace fraction seems really stubborn to still blame Sindonia at 10 kilometres. Red Hoshijiro able to write and formulate a dress! Izana becoming a pilot, she almost falling! Wow that Gauna is 8000 times bigger than Sidonia? Good thing they made the new weapon, the spears would had been useless to cut through all those stuff. That 1.2 million kilometres would be nothing for something that big. |
 |
| No, no, no, no, no. Run away from the water girls (third gender included). Didn't they see what happened to all those who previously went to water places with Tanikaze? As simple as some things are and people calling it as such, I consider all the conspiracies and stuff around experiments quite complex and deep. There are many possibilities, questions etc based around it in my opinion. And damn, Sasaki is hot as hell. A question for manga readers, is it ever explained why Gauna attacked and destroyed Earth? If it is, don't even answer, I'd like to see it in a show. If not, are hints ever given? |
| Yeah I was confused about the re-arrangement, but I guess it works. I would've liked to see more of the Izana hurting Nagate on accident comedy that they took out though :P Not complaining btw, just saying. At least we got to see Nagate's beat up face caused by Izana. I also like the manga's direct translation better, "Our time left isn't zero!" instead of "We still have time together." Anyways, if I were in Izana's shoes, I would share her sentiment. Becoming an official pilot almost means like a death sentence (for most people anyways). |

It was answered...if what I'm thinking is the answer. Idk if it's the official answer, but you won't see in by the end of this anime, so unless there's a second season, you probably won't see it at all. |
| Good episode. Nice reveals to everything and that cliffhanger. I'm excited for the next ep! Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| new weapon, new booster, Benisuzume in a new dress and can write and tanikaze is happy because of that eitheir this series end with a cliffhanger and a second season next year or rush everything is the last 2 eps |
| Somehow I get the feeling they swapped some things around. I think I know where will be the cliffhanger though. Hopefully there will be second season. Although this series gradually switches from sci-fi to fantasy with sci-fi elements later... tingy said: nina4life said: A question for manga readers, is it ever explained why Gauna attacked and destroyed Earth?

Ii tenki desu ne... |
| That scene where Izana saw Tanikaze's beaten up face was hilarious. Benisuzume was able to write out Tanikaze's name and he seems happy about it. |

I went back to chapter 51 to make sure I wasn't just making things up :) |
| I feel that they are going to wrap up the series nicely.... |
 |
| It seems that Sidonia went through a kind of a scientific"dark age" after the 4th Gauna War, since apparently a lot of the cutting edge technology is basically recycling what has already been used before but "lost" . The new additions to the Gardes will mean though that only the elite will be be able to control them in combat. And boy will there be combat next episode. Dat generously endowed mechanic, LOL. |

| Will/is Izana already synthesizing or whatever as a girl or at least it seems... |
| Yuhata is pretty awesome to have such accesses to secret facilities. Damn.. Nagate took quite a beating from Izana, thought it was accidental. Poor him.. Ochiai's experiment of human and Gauna fusion looked quite creepy.. Nonetheless, it is apparently capable of annihilating Gauna without resorting to Kabizashi, which sounds pretty awesome! Nagate shows his epicness once again; being able to synchronize with the new propulsion system and firing at Gauna from a distance. Amazing! Red Shizuka is now able to write (only Nagate's name so far) and create a nice dress too! Damn she's cute. :3 Lol'd at Nagate jumping for joy. XD I'm assuming she'll gradually become like the real Shizuka.. Izana is so jealous, I'm not even considering her as a third-gender anymore. A new Gauna, about 8000 times as huge as Sidonia is incoming towards them from an approximate distance of 1.2 million kilometers. Damn. Even with the new weapon, it's impossible to counter it. Or, is it? Good episode. Need more suffering time for Kunato. He deserves it dearly. |
 |
| The next episode should be pretty damn exciting. I also like how Gauna Hoshijiro is still winning so badly. |
| My Anime Blog: http://www.Entravity.com/ Episodic overviews of the latest anime. |
| -Sasaki has a nice rack. Also I wonder if the Gauna was really trying to attack the emigrant ship or was it just on it's trajectory to Sidonia. I think it is the latter. I'm disappointed with the character development of the show but you can only do so much with 12 episodes T_T. Overall, okay episode |
| LOL. Burst out laughing at Izana's reaction to Nagate's face. Damn Hoshijiro is still so cute. Great that she almost spelled his name and made a little dress. |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| Looks like they skipped quite a bit in the manga. Either way I'm looking forward to the asteroid battle. Darkmatterx76 said: Its funny that Izana still identifies as a man even though he acts exactly like a young girl, and is also obviously infatuated with Nagate. So will Nagate wake up one morning to find "him" laying in bed next to him, but now Izana will be sporting some extra curves? lol Izana doesn't identify with any gender yet. |
| Typing on an ipad is like driving carpentry nails with a sledgehammer. |
| The sound of everything in this anime is so orgasmic to my ears |
| Hate Keeps me warm |
Darkmatterx76 said: Its funny that Izana still identifies as a man even though he acts exactly like a young girl, and is also obviously infatuated with Nagate. Let's not make cissexist remarks, shall we? Our behavior patterns do not depend on our gender. Gender does not define or lock down person's personality. Mod Edit: Removed baiting. |

| That double date ended sooner than what I was expecting. Poor Tanikaze getting beaten by Izana. Tanikaze is getting me angry with his obsession with Hoshijiro's lookalike Gauna. He should get raped by her tentacles, so he can move on. |
 |
| Sasaki has a really nice body. Pretty good episode. Must say I love when the captain dresses up. Also thinks it's funny because only Nagate knows what she looks like with her mask off. My boy Nagate with the gun out there getting more respect. Can't believe that the fake Hoshijiro is still the best girl lol. She still getting points. Izana really needs to become a girl already. That ending. Anxious to see what's going to happen next. 4/5 |
 |
| Damn son, so that Gauna's the size of a planet basically. Gr33ncar said: The sound of everything in this anime is so orgasmic to my ears Yep. Hands down best part of Sidonia no Kishi. Everything else is fantastic, yeah, but the sound is just phenomenal. |
| Nagate's deformed face was hilarious. Every time he gets hurt, it's always so graphic. A Gauna 8000 times the size of Sidonia? I wonder if that's like fighting Planet Gauna or something :o Even though she's just a placenta now, Red Hoshijiro is still the best "girl." |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| laughed a lot at the beginning of the episode. Nagate being caught off guard and surprised by the captain plus his face beaten by Izana was priceless. On the other hand the ending already showed how next episode will be and the for the preview we'll have more deaths :( Wondering if Gauna was already eyeing the spears in Sidonia, imagine now that they can be defeated by distance. |
 |
| I'm still mad at them for killing Hoshijiro |

| Nice to get some comedic moments in an anime like this from time to time. Izana is a pilot now, huh? This probably won't go well for her. |
Fai said: So far relatively faithful to manga, even if they re-arranged some of stuff and padded out some of other stuff. I am pretty certain now that they will use the though. Yup. I read past it yesterday and immediately though that's where it'll be ending. A good spot to end it too IMO. Admittedly I really like the adaptation so far, some parts are actually better than the manga in that they capture the atmosphere and impact of certain scenes better, sometimes a lot better. I like the action scenes more in the anime because sometimes in the manga I can't tell what's going on, it's a lot clearer when animated. Having gotten further into the manga I've seen they've brought some parts forward but it's in no way messed with the series, I'm quite happy with how they've done it all so far. I really hope there's going to be an announcement for season 2 once this one finishes! |
| Even though I'm still infuriated that Hoshijiro was killed, Gauna Hoshijiro is quite satisfying : DD. Really wondering how that turns out though. |
| Izana's faces in this episode makes me laugh. And awwww, Nagate was blushing because of Gauna Shizuka. Pretty good episode. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| Wait... eight THOUSAND times larger?! I can't even comprehend that... |

AnimageNeby said: Because now, when you mix up the timeline like that, the question becomes why they didn't implement those artificial Kabizashi a long time ago. The whole point of the importance of the spears is that they're only 28, so they're unbelievably valuable (hence all the trouble they do to recapture them, as has been shown). But now, it feels like weird. It feels forced, because one has to believe that, after more than 600 years, they only figured it out how to make and made the artificial Kabizashi just now, in the nick of time, right before a major battle. Right. What's lacking now, is the actual reason why they didn't find out/weren't able to make that new Kabizashi up until now. I think this a pity, and one of the few times they didn't think their change through far enough. I think they can try to justify it by saying that Toha Heavy Industries took 600 hundred years(?) to utilize the Kabi and develop the new weapon technology I guess. |

As a whole I can agree, though this time they made a logical error by making it appear the human/gauna hybrid made it possible to create artificial Kabizashi BEFORE the Because now, when you mix up the timeline like that, the question becomes why they didn't implement those artificial Kabizashi a long time ago.

| Looks like Nagate still doesn't get that being promoted = death. I don't really have much to say about this episode, it was good. Nagate and his badass new mecha, and dat fucking sound effect when he hit the Gauna *_* Ehh Kunato.. I guess I'm a little disappointed that he wasn't being tortured this time, but at the same time it's nice to see him actually trying to do something useful in his time off. And HOOOOOOLYYYYYYY SHIIITTT O___O Dat fucking cliff hanger.. |
 |
| Izana was so cute, poor Nagate getting beat up like punching bag again I liked the background of the Gauna explained with the human fusion Saving the 100.000 emigrants was a nice scene with the two blasts Hoshijiro's connection with Nagate seems to be still there The next encounter with the humoungus Gauna is going to be epic |
1lau said: I liked the background of the Gauna explained with the human fusion no it was not. THIS SPECIFIC ONE thing that was shown to Nagate is a hybrid of human and gauna DNA. The origin or purpose of gauna as creatures is still unknown. Hoshijiro's connection with Nagate seems to be still there Except that its not Hoshijiro? Its not even the same body? |
|
| http://i.imgur.com/JoMggx9.jpg Nagate is such a freak. I like it. I liked the little scooby doo action we got early on. Love the atmosphere of the show. |
| Lol'd at Nagate's beaten up face XD And their reactions to to Nagate knowing where the door is by smell was lol Nagate was shown quite the secret classified info there. And he now knows about Izana's grandma. Seems like Hiroki really took into account everything when training Nagate. He trained him with everything he knows. How Nagate piloted that propulsion system was awesome and DEM SHOTS!! Looked so epic :D This guy's BA!! And quite an evolution for battles now. It was nice seeing captain thinking about how she'll change her ways before it's too late and Nagate ends up revolting against her. Why is Benisuzume so cute >.< Lol'd at Nagate's reaction to her writing his name. He was jumping from happiness :3 Izana is jelly as **** and she's now a pilot? I doubt she's gonna be dying though. AND Damn!! 8000x the size of Sidonia O_O Shit got real!! |
