| LOL screw MAL. Something like Date A Live is ranked higher than this. |
"Komugi, are you there?" |
| Just give the rating thing a break guys. Ongoing series rating means nothing. It's all about how it ranks after it's completed. There are many kids who just like to give low ratings to CG series from the first ep -.- It'll go up when they're excluded. Many series have had that happen to them before. |
 |
| Where is the logic of having lovers in the same squad on a mission with a low chance of survival? Come on now anime. Preview shows some serious suffering and death next ep so looking forward to that. |

Not generic enough characters No "true" highschool setting No 2D. The lead is not a gary stu. Shit show by MAL standards. ashlelouch said: LOL screw MAL. Something like Date A Live is ranked higher than this. To put it in perspective. Sidonia is now lower ranked than: fucking Witchcraft Works. Mahouka Date a Live |

| Izana keep Nagate close to you! If you can stand him puking on you than he's your guy The trip to the sea was wonderful in that bathysphere Seeing Akai's team eliminated by the Gauna was somewhat expected Momose leading their team to that danger after their team captain was out was just sad |
| I didn't expect that. Whole crew is dead?! I heard many bad opinions about this show, but it's actually very good. One of my favorites this season. |

| This show is intense. I at first wasn't so savvy with the animation scheme, but the story grabbed a hold of my attention right from the start. All I can really say about it is that it has balls and takes me by surprise in almost every other scene. tingy said: Man Momose ruining it for everyone. I don't mind that she was the one to be caught instead of the other three men, nor do I mind that Akai would try to save her and sacrifice himself because she's the love of his life...but it really just sucks that she ended up being partially the reason why the team failed. I don't know if they could've killed the Gauna or not even if Momose didn't go insane, but she probably caused the team to fail quicker. It's like someone else said though, they're great inside the arena, but it's different in real battle (heh, the other SnK). Aren't they supposed to be professional pilots or whatever? The fact that Momose lost her cool and went AWOL just irks me to no end for some reason. I garuntee that Akai would have taken down the Gauna if Momose didn't cause so many distractions. -_- |
TsukiumiFanboy said: all i see are death flags!!! damn that was brutal i was calling their deaths as soon as "last date" appeared lol You and me both brah. At 1st I was like sweet they gonna have some special service( underwater viewing) . Then the " last date" and the *I don't think we can survive it* ish tone to their mission. To me they were as good as dead the moment they lauched. |
| The Art of Shipping is no mere game. It can be small skirmishes to huge nation size wars. Of course some will claim their ship is the BATTLESHIP but they all do. This is why battles occur because of factions fighting each other to justify their favourite ship. And thus SHIP to SHIP combat occurs almost anytime even now. Beware, Threading into the Shipping battlefield will be bloody.... What are you waiting for? |
| Way to go Momose, for doing absolute shit. And shame on Midorikawa for going back for that waste of space, leaving poor Aoki completely defenseless. BUT I guess if I got annoyed it means the show's doing a great job! They aren't experienced in real combat after all. I just wish the show would stop one-sidedly portraying females as absolutely incompetent in combat, gdi. |
lin000 said: I just wish the show would stop one-sidedly portraying females as absolutely incompetent in combat, gdi. Wait... what? This is the first time a female pilot shits on a mission. Yamano was blindsided, any pilot in her place would have suffered the same fate. |
 |
| Yukatas were nice. Tanikaze runs the minute food is mentioned XDD. Izana likes you Tanikaze!!! Please be with her before something horrible happens Elite 4 death was coming. Brutally !!! Kunato OMG will you be Gauna food already!!!!!!!! Die !!! Next week she gonna die NOOOOOOOO!!!! |
| God damn!! The ending. I loved the directing, esp near the ending when they flashed between the action scenes to the non-action and eventually showed that all four of that team died. Amazing. Getting crazy Shinsekai Yori vibes now, with the whole world building, dystopian setting, the mix of dark/depressing moments with those subtle beautiful ones (the underwater scene omg) and the characters dying without any warning. Yeah, I'm looking at a high 8/10 or 9/10 from this show as long as they keep doing well and the plot is exposed more. |
| "are you ok?" SHE HAS A STICK STUCK THROUGH HER THIGH omg idk if it's just me but for some reason i tend to space out a bit when watching this and i end up missing some things. I had to go back to see why they were having that competition but good thing it wasn't something super important. I really, really liked Akai but i feel that i sealed his fate for a doomed death by doing that. Especially that whole last date thing/underwater scene, major death flag. I actually liked his whole squad, I'm pretty torn by all of this. These death scenes are pretty intense and i end up remembering them a couple of days later, which isn't pleasant. |
Takuan_Soho said: Another "canary in the coal mine" warning was that they decided to have the main leader wearing that stupid mask for no apparent reason. "They" have a reason to use masks. BTW, Akai and Midorikawa died by their own mistakes. The one who was killed by the fault of the other three was Aoki. |

| The Elite Four of anime I have ever seen: One of them got down. "He seems dead." "OK, he is the weakest one of us." "Hahaha, he was disgrace of the Elite Four, he was defeated by such a weak enemy." The Elite Four of Sidonia no Kishi: They were annihilated in three minutes. By the way, I watched it on TV. And I also watched TV commercial between the first half and the second half... |
| Dam...I was expecting at least some of them to survive..looks like next episode most of everyone dies ^_^ Also screw Norio! I kinda want to put this on-hold and watch the whole thing in one go, waiting for each week is painful but then the wait for this to finish is even longer.. |
Helpme said: Reite said: I hope we won't see any more of female-only incompetence in Sidonia. Well, I appreciate the feminist angle. But it seems misplaced there. The better question is why you lot can only see the female characters incompetence. You have the boyfriend who abandons his mission, even when killing the enemy would also save her. You have the replacement squadleader who abandons one team to an impossible mission in order to rush of after her without even checking if the enemy is pursuing. And you have the remaining teammate doesn't even bother to keep his attention on the lethal foe in front of him. Well, I completely agree that everyone was at fault here, and the fighters weren't prepared for such stress. The whole strategy was seriously lacking, although maybe we'll get an explanation later on. Or at least backup squads or something. The thing that bothers me with Momose is not really her incompetence (bad wording on my part), but her exaggerated hysterics and general uselesness. She was the only one who lost her cool. Akai performed a heroic sacrifice - it was stupid, yeah, but he died with a smile, saving his girl, which is infinitely more heroic than what she did earlier (she started screaming just after being captured) and later. Midorikawa tried to save her too, and Aoki in general tried to do something reasonable. If they all broke down, it would be more understandable. But no, only the female had to be freaking out to the point of absolute uselessness, and just at the beginning of the fight too. *sigh* |
| All dead just like that? Glad to see a show that shows the horrific truth and more realistic as some shows always have everyone living |
| Wanna listen to some good OP/ED songs? Head over to my profile! |
| I'm loving the battles in this anime. Great action. It isn't like we didn't know beforehand they were all gonna die. Only the "hero" can save the day after all. To bad everything other than that is not so good. |

Takuan_Soho said: Helpme said: Well, I appreciate the feminist angle. But it seems misplaced there. The better question is why you lot can only see the female characters incompetence. It's not just the incompetence, its the screaming hysterical component of it that is the problem. And had it only been once that would have been fine, but it's been the second episode in a row with it. What are you talking about? Women generally have a higher pitched voice then men. It's not hysterial, you're exaggerating. There is nothing wrong with women yelling with a voice they were born with. You're just imposing a chauvinistic male dominated view (which is female voice= weakness). Please stop projecting. |
| Damn, the death flags were so big, no one could have avoided them... Yuhata must feel bad now that her brother is dead and that the last thing she told him was that she hate him :/ Well that elite four is no longer. And from the preview, it look like the mothership will be at the verge of collapsing. Those people falling in the pit of the spaceship, must be an awful way to die when you though that ship was your security against Gauna... Nagate is a real woman magnet. Izana, just make a move already while you're still alive! Kunato is such a little whiny bitch. I hope he die soon. |

| Epic as ballz. I am definitely looking forward to this anime. |
| So... Last episode we had a typical "accidental pervert" anime cliche. This week we get semi-tournament and semi-festival episode rolled into one. And when they started talking about going to the ocean I was like "Noooooooooo! This can't be happening! Beach episode as well?!". Good thing they managed to present it quite differently And then a bunch of "pros" died because of one stupid bitch making a mistake (or at least that's the way I saw it) Well hopefully the show will pick up the pace now |

| I saw the death flags, but damn... Momose killed everyone. ಠ_ಠ How'd she get caught so easily as one of the elite four... I wish they died differently. Kunato! What the heck is wrong with him?? She had a freakin' stick in her thigh, and he doesn't even give a rat's ass. Grrr. Well, with the four dead hopefully the MC can step up and take it down. Seems like next episode is the hinted gravity fail and he can play hero. I find it weird how the series still manages to incorporate romcom/harem/ecchi cliches though. But so far my favorite episode. There was tension and good action. |
Mirorin said: How'd she get caught so easily as one of the elite four... I wish they died differently. "elite four" simply means they are good at simulations and would have to be the first to go against the gauna attack(basically, cannon fodder). It does not mean that much in grand context as NONE of the pilots have ever faced a gauna before. Mirorin said: I find it weird how the series still manages to incorporate romcom/harem/ecchi cliches though. Oh that will get way weirder. Too bad that most of the WEIRDEST shit will be left to theoretical second season(if this ever gets one :( ) Not surprising though since human relations and sexual interactions have been a huge part of scifi genre since its inception(ex: Isaac Asimov's "The Gods Themselves"). |

| freaking goosebumps when Akai's squad getting annihilated awwwww man this anime |
 |
| Gotta remember that Japan is one of the lower ranked countries in the world in regards to gender equality. So really, a female character that follows that "damsel in distress" stereotype would be pretty common, so there's no real reason to be so annoyed about it. If anime came from a western country, then we'd have something to be pissed off about. |

| SO GOOD. Really love the pacing of this series so far. Can't wait to see if it climbs to increasing excellence. Also new pickup line..."Want to photosynthesize with me?" |

JivingLotus said: This is why you shouldn't make emotional teenagers mech pilots... I was wondering (all speculations) but since they managed to implement photosynthesis into humans, why not rework their emotion? (aka, by making humans less humans, less sentient...) |
Philosophy and Anime, huh :) |
| The best pilots of humanity and 5 min later, everyone is dead. Now all the dirty work is left to the rookies who encountered the first Gauna and the MC of course. |
 |
| i usually hate the mix between 2d and CGI in animes but since the whole serie is CGI i was like "not a cgi anime..." but i like it so far and waiting for the next episode |
| Oh man, Akai and Midorikawa... brutal episode. It really broke my heart the guys being annihilated. Btw, I hate Kunato, what an asshole. |
| This is why relationships aren't allowed in the military, and even if they were, they would make sure to put them in separate units so as not to risk compromising every single fucking mission they take part in. |
| [size=200]MAL AVATAR SYSTEM BLOWS |
| I didn't expect the top team to be wiped off o: |
Z4k said: Brutal episode. I wonder why most of the time female characters turn out to be useless and are the reason for dragging other characters to either danger or death. Because no matter how far we've come women are still seen as weak Z4k said: the death flags were high. Seriously, all fluttering and stuff. I didn't think all 4 would be annihilated though. |
| Should've just stuck to the mission and forgotten about casualties for the time being. That Gauna is wiping the floor with these scrubs. Unleash Nagate with Tsugumori already! |
