I remember those horrible Blame! OVAs. This needs to be BIG budget. And I hope it isn't watered down.

Looks like my cup of tea if it doesn't end up being a generic mecha fighting anime, which it doesn't look like it's gonna be.
I probably regret this post by now.

Fucking love Nihei Tsuotmu, I hope they don't fuck this up. I know the Blame OVA's were trippy as fuck. Why am I swearing so much? I don't know but this is pretty fucking awesome.

Good to see Nihei's masterpiece becoming an anime.

"where humans have achieved photosynthesis and new genders."

Wait what? Watching just to see what is up with this and also for the mecha. xD


Bassically,

Zhou said:
No way, that's one adaptation I would have never expected, too bad Sidonia no Kishi isn't as good as Nihei's previous manga but still, great news.



Its the only manga he did that you can sort of follow without your head exploding from his storytelling style.

I love Nihei but I'm not that hyped about this. I don't see how the atmosphere and pace he creates in his mangas can be successfully adapted into anime without a massive budget.

But hey I can only hope to get surprised. Will watch if reviews are good.

PV

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I wonder if it will be easier to understand in anime.. Haha because I certainly have trouble sometimes, but it's still more easy to understand than some of his other works...
I'm really exited for what the art will look like, holy cow. Even if the gauna and stuff are CG the backgrounds should still be awesome though right? At least I hope so.

oh. my. gods.


This looks as glorious as I imagined it to be. Certainly won't be for everyone, but that's okay, as the good stuff rarely is for everyone.

LOVE the way shadows work in the art style - it manages to retain that "AC.Clarke clean aesthetic" that the manga had, despite being in color.

Also DAT OST.

Wow that was a really nice PV. I can't say I'm a big fan of CGI but I really like the CGI in this. I'm quite excited for this; I might start reading the manga before this airs.

After watching the second PV, I threw out any doubts I had about the use of CGI. It adapts the style and atmosphere wonderfully.

I'm reading the manga from Vertical, Inc. who is releasing nice quality volumes with well-written translations. Volume 6 comes out next month. I highly recommend their editions.

Photosynthesis? New genders? Uh...*scratches head* First thing that popped in my head is asexual plant reproduction XD
This is just confusing but the PV was definitely interesting.

Photosynthesis and new genders are reeeaaally minor points in the story. It's mostly just mecha vs alien fights and life in a space ship/colony.

For the curious(slight spoilers):

Photosynthesis is


New gender is
