Well at least he was smart enough to close the door and not stand in shock like 90% of other anime.

He was unfortunate because the females he saw had super human strength. Logically though, you would first knock on the door.

Sasuga anime/manga.

Mangasaurus is the best site ever, it's a real shame it's got so few manga though.
High quality scans + ultra fast loading times, it's like they're barely there.

Just checked it. Site is slow. Mangasee, mangatraders and mangapark is better.

He closed the door because Sidonia is a deconstruction of harem anime/manga

It's like 99% confirmed.

The first episode was the best imo so it was a good addition. Tbh I couldn't care less how it was in the novels, it's good so far. The pacing is perfect, it could even be slower for my tastes, something like Akatsuki no Yona's pacing would be perfect. So I think it will work out fine even if it lacks chapters ( maybe they will go ahead of manga, though doubt it. ) Besides in a story like this original content is more than welcome.

Sad thing is, I would have said this because I didn't take that scene seriously at all, but something in my mind made me think of the generic ecchi/harem so it pissed me off. And I just typed down the most obvious solution:

Knock on the fucking door.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Sidonia is parodying the typical harem manga trope there. The exact same thing has happened multiple times already during the manga, always with Tanikaze getting absolutely wrecked

I checked out the manga, the first 5 chapters have around 40-50 pages but in the later ones there's even a chapter with 9 pages lol, I dunno how they'll get 25 eps out of this.
The novel did these latest eps better.

No I'm only on the 4th ep, but if things keep up this is easily gonna land in my favorites. The layering of social interactions/perspectives and seriousness transgender issues is being treated to is a real shocker - the good kind.
Mahoganycow had an interesting review where he argued the opposite, where there's a lot of these social messages but by the end it treats them rather...unrealistically in a sense?

After you finish, you should check it out and see if you agree with him or not. I don't, but we had a good talk about it.

That's interesting because he's one of the few reviewers I follow with any regularity, and more often than not I find myself in agreement with his takes. So far I've been surprised at just how realistic things have been portrayed. Then again, I don't have much personal experience/knowledge of the subject matter, so there's that. I'll check it out.

They are an excuse to draw a hilarious Nagate face, so I forgive it.
Shinatose's faces are better imo though.

Currently at chapter 50; things have slowed down quite a bit. But that just means shit is about to hit the fan, and it won't be pretty.

9 chapters lol, okay this is retarded.

Well, so far I had an impression that this is a wide fantasy world with lots of exploration, fleshing out to do ( something like 12 Kingdoms, or even something like One Piece, HxH, etc. ) so even if there is an original side story or some of scenes, moments are extended - it's even better because there is a lot to take from, from this type of setting. Unless of course it does something retarded with it. And honestly, slow pacing > fast pacing, especially in a setting like this. I don't know maybe I'm the only one who can enjoy super slow series like this, like Akatsuki no Yona, a lot of people were frustrated with it.

And overall, you just gotta accept that this will be more shonen-y version and I don't see any problems with it.

Slow pacing is something I can appreciate. OC doesn't really have anything to do with that.
You don't see any problems with it because you haven't read the source material. It's a fine series taken on it's own, but it could be a lot better if it followed the novels instead of the manga.

The reason why I think it's realistic is because this got a lot of praise from the transgender community and I specifically have two friends who identify as transgender, one of whom had to set aside the anime for a while because of how relateable it was, the other always recommends it because of how well it speaks of the challenges of the transgender community but in ways that are more palatable to a wider audience.

I recommend starting from the beginning, since the anime changes the order of some scenes. You only have to backtrack a few volumes or so anyways

Biomega is pretty well known imo. Then there's only Abara and Dead Heads, of which the former is short and the latter a one-shot.

oh yeah and Sabrina, Noise and Blame Gakuen of course. Sabrina is self explanatory and the two latter ones Blame side stories

Basically it covers the first 20 or so chapters, then jumps to chapters 30-33 for the last 1.5 episodes. So I'd recommend starting from the beginning.

Well, that wasn't actually in the Sidonia canon but rather just a special Nihei had drawn at the end of some volume when he was telling about a convention he partook in. Pretty funny nonetheless.

Just keep in mind Blame is the darkest of his works, probably. There's little to no humor unlike most other manga by him. (Except Abara, probably) So if you don't like really edgy and grim cyberpunk, the transition can be a little jarring

If you want something in between Blame and Sidonia, Biomega is a great choice

Hmm is it possible that Nihei is planning to at least finish the '100 sights of Sidonia' before ending the manga? Because if that's the case then we're looking at something around 100+ chapters.. I hope that's the case, I'm liking this way too much for it to end soon.
