Another good ep. They gave a lot of information that I was curious about. Also glad to hear Nagate is now the hero and being recognize now. Can't wait to see what unfolds next in the next episode! Sent with Mal Updater |

The ring of 256 gardes frames looked so damn cool! What a neat idea visually and for the situation. I almost wish there would be anime or a game where the frames/mechas attack a planet in this formation, descending down in a halo and then dispersing to bring about destruction. ^^' Darkmatterx76 said: 2 adults who are attracted to each other, extended periods of nudity, and stranded in a life or death situation for almost 2 weeks and no sex? That for some people everything as to end up in fanservice and sex, it's a freakin' fictonal story and even if it was real a life or death situation like that doesn't mean sex, especially in this one... It doesn't make sense for the plot and aside from that "We have to preserve air and water so we don't die before we maybe get rescued... yea, how about we waste lots of energy, air and water by having sex! Because that would make so much sense in this situation! Also contanimating the air of the cockpit with our sweat and body fluids is soo nice if you have to spend weeks in it." |

Its quite far ahead(around a season and a half or so) from where anime is now. The same author also wrote Abara, Biomega and Blame!, all of his works sharing same or similar concepts. His other works do have a far more non-sterile art style with quite a bit of stylization going on, but they do have a far harder to comprehend plot than Sidonia. |

So now we are sure to have a crazy jealous Izana and a plotting/back-stabbing Kunato; fun day at the court for sure ;p On other note, I really thought they'd float into some members/crafts of the Akai squad, perhaps rescue some of them and scavenge their gardes for fuel and supplies to return... Sad that they killed the entire squad for good with that ending~ T.T |

dont worry... she will return as an enemy...queen of blade HINT:starcraft ..literally I know, I have finished reading the manga till the latest chapter, I just hope Hoshijiro does not die in the anime unlike the novel, and what happens to Izana is pretty sad, so please dun make the same thing happen twice. *cries* LOL. But yeah, I would advise all of you out there to read the manga! It is addicting, Finished all chapters in a day! Can't help it LoL! |

Man, those two being marooned in space, now I know how those from Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 feels. Ok, since Hoshijiro is what you like to call a new 3rd gender, I wonder if she has a dick, a pussy or a combination of both.? |

I have all of his works in my bookshelf. I just love this guy. I'm so happy that they finally adapted one of his works. I think his other works are better than Sidonia but as you said not as easy to comprehend and I think not really made for television. I'd love to see Blame! as an OVA (not the one we got). might be some spoilers ahead, but I got a question for the manga readers that have read the other works of Nihei. Something bugged me about Sidonia, why did the Toha heavy industry build the mechas? Is the Biomega/Blame universe connected to Sidonia? That can't be because the earth we see in the flashbacks is not engulfed in the megastructure. Also if I remember correctly, the "things" in Abara where also called Gauna. Is all of this just a big wink/fanservice or is there a deeper meaning to all of that? I do love the idea that all of his works could be connected. |

I mean how awesome would it have been when everything that was made from him was on the same timeline. I mean they didn't even need to change that much, like what happened in Sidonia could've happened hundreds/thousands of years after Blame. After the earth has been repopulated and then Abara happened and the Gaunas evolved from humans and in the end grew so big that they destroyed the earth. I'm simplifying things right now but it seems like there is not that much that needed to be changed to make it all work together. For starters they could have shown the earth in the flashbacks engulfed in the megastructure. |

The first one is self explanatory, if each did that then how do they get back if something goes wrong? Something as simple as a rogue asteroid could end up making them lose a ton of mechs/people and failing their mission. Like I said this episode said more without the characters needing to, the formation thing is one of the things I was referring to. The reason for them is obviously to travel large distances while saving a large amount of energy. It's quite clear from this episode that on its own a lone mech can't get very far, but it's likely that the power increase from 3 others greatly offsets the added weight and allows them to travel faster/further while using less energy. The second one also doesn't make sense to do because they'd be travelling so slowly the gap between sidonia, them and nagate would just get larger. Of course their option was just as risky since they practically left Sidonia defenseless but in terms of success it was definitely the best one to use imo. I don't think you quite understand how (motion in) space works. There is no friction in space, so the inertia one has is directly related to the maximum speed achieved when turning the engine off. If you go with full thrusters, you would definitely be far faster than the speed they are drifting around, and you *would keep going at that speed* even if you turned the engines off. The only problem is pinpointing where they are and calculating a trajectory that brings you in close range to them. Then again, with radar that should be easy (even today, with our technology, we can detect objects as small as 10 cm in LEO). Which would also negate your first counterargument, btw, that an asteroid would suddenly smash into them unforeseen. First of all, space is very, very empty: the chance of that happening in deep space is next to impossible. Even if they would be in the middle of an asteroid-belt, it would be very unlikely: contrary to movies, asteroids are not packed one aside the other; there are hundred-thousands of kilometres between them. And even then, asteroids are really easy to detect, due to their seize (and if they're extremely small, they wouldn't pose a threat anymore to the ring of mechs). In fact, I've been wondering what the use is of flying in 4-packs, or in a ring, like in this episode. Normally, this has no advantages. Speed in space is derived from the maximum speed per unit of mass (which gives the inertia and continuous speed, since there is no friction). But 4 engines giving the same thrust at the same time for 4 mass-units are not faster than 1 engine giving that same thrust to 1 mass-unit. One caveat though; I'm speaking of classical propulsion. We do not know how that Higgs-field work (not even *in story* I mean). Maybe those engines create a 'global' field that get exponentially stronger the more engines are creating Higgs-fields in close proximity, or something to that effect. |

Nice episode again even though life is tough. Oh I also thought the music was done well that matched the mood pretty well with Izana and Nagate in space imo. Think you mean Hoshijiro and Nagate. Edit: Nothing says I like you more than letting you drink my filtered urine. Minus the 'filtered'. |

The part about inertia I concede because I have no idea how movement in space worked and assumed that they would be slowed due to gravity being present everywhere. Third part of my statement is pretty much implying what you've just said. That there's a power increase from the formations that offset the added weight. You are definitely more knowledgeable about the subject than I am, so whatever explanation they give you can tell me if it's plausible or not. Humza_96 said: Did the Captain Kobayashi say she's 600 years old? She looks kinda hot without that weird mask on. Is there an actual reason why she wears that mask? And one again why the f is there a talking bear who is also apparently 600 years old? LOL at the fresh 'water' he drank. I believe in the first few episodes (maybe first) there was talk of "undead people" governing sidonia and people were protesting. |

Those moments with Nagate and Hoshijiro were romantic. Giving your urine for your lover was beautiful. Sidonia knows their hero and they went to rescue him regardless. Hah 257 cells XDD. Whoa Kuma, commander, and Nagate's grandpa know each other. Dat history lesson. Kobayashi was the founder of Sidonia then???? I hope Izana and Nagate have some more moments with each other. Why is this 12 episodes NOOO!!! |

You are definitely more knowledgeable about the subject than I am, so whatever explanation they give you can tell me if it's plausible or not. Well, the point is, deep space is really, really empty: the chance that something of any considerable mass hits you there, is *extremely* low to non-existent. *In story* one may presume the most likely threat would be the Gauna. But let's face it; if fear of that was the reason, they wouldn't have left Sidonia unprotected in the first place, nor would they have gone without their spears. They were clearly confident that no other Gauna was in the neighbourhood, and the chance of any other 'natural' collisions in deep space is negligible. There is another plausible reason why they didn't 'each' spend its fuel in turn to get a chain of mechs there (and back). That's inertia again. If one (or a couple) of mechs would have to get a whole ring or chain of mechs (aka, all the added mass) moving, the inertia to overcome would be gigantic, and thus, it would start to move very, very slowly. Seen the time-restraint (apparently, it took already 10-11 days to get there, depending on when they left), this might not have been the best option. Nah, in deep space you would only have microgravity. And gravity doesn't inherently slow you down; it can also speed you up. It depends on what direction the gravity is in. If a very heavy object (planetmass) popped up right behind them, it would slow their forward movement, yes. But beside of such an unlikely thing, all trajectories are curves in space (ellipses, and such), and stars are much too far to have any drastic (slowing) influence on it (besides, there are stars in any direction). Basically, your speed remains and you don't slow down, unless one has to escape from a gravity-well. As for what is 'plausible'. On itself, the whole 4-pack/ring thing with the mechs then being able to move faster or more efficient is implausible in reality. At least, with our current understanding of/for all linear propulsion methods, be it chemical, nuclear, etc. Of course, we're talking sci-fi here. And where one once thought things to be impossible, like the warp drive of Startrek, it seems you're never sure (http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/164326-nasa-discusses-its-warp-drive-research-prepares-to-create-a-warp-bubble-in-the-lab). Anyway, *within story* they use that higgs drive - which doesn't exist in r/l, and which we don't know much of in the anime neither - and if one wants to explain why a 4 pack would be faster than 1 mech (in comparison to their relative masses), then a possible explanation (again, *in story*) would be that those engines, when activated in close proximity, somehow generate a greater force together, than 4 individual ones apart. Otherwise, the whole set-up with pairing up in quads or rings 'to be faster', doesn't make sense. Of course, one has to have some suspension of disbelief in anime, including this one. And not everything is (scientifically) perfect. But all in all they at least try to do a good job showing the different concepts in space (like gravity). So far, I'm liking the anime a lot. |

I think the only "explanation" (I use that very liberally) for the group travel, as you say, is some unknown quality with the Higgs engine... Although the reference to "Higgs Particle Membrane" (translation?) made me wonder if their Higgs technology could be loosely based on some future (alternate / sci-fi ) reality study of the Higgs boson ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson ) or if the names are just coincidentally the same... would be a big coincidence though. On a character note... Does anyone else think Hoshijiro might bite the bullet in the next episode or possibly the one after? The final scene in the preview coupled with the title ("Salute") gave me the feeling that her imminent demise may be upon us. |

The likeness of the two words is too great to be coincidence. It's clear the mangaka was making a reference to it, if not as something that has to do with an imaginary/ sci-fi version of the actual particle, then at least as a way (in a meta-context) of having a terminology that resonates familiar with people (and, indeed, has the 'coolness' effect). And even more so now, where even most layman will have made the connotation of the word with physics, thanks to the discovery. |

Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.

She fed him her pee. How sweet :3 That was a REALLY good episode. One of my favorite episodes of Ergo Proxy is where they are stranded in the middle of nowhere, unsure of whether or not they will survive. This episode of Sidonia was exactly like that, and I enjoyed it just as much. It was a nice break from the non-stop action so far. The blushing thing is happening SO often now, and it's so awkward, it's starting to be funny. |

Well if you want to know you can click this spoiler... I suggest you wait though since its pretty interesting he is a clone of the last great mech pilot hiroki saitou, the one who piloted the mech Tsugumori and saved sidonia 100 years ago, Nagate is the clone who was taken by Saitou to live underground instead of transplanting his brain and living on as an immortal in the clones body, hes also the dead mummified body you see at the beginning of the anime series |

Don't these people know how space works? Once they reach maximum thrust or hell even %50 thrust, they should kill their engines and drift. This whole episode could've been averted if the MC went half speed and drifted to his GF to conserve fuel. Also, 256 units to recover 2 people? I'm no mission planner, but that seems like fucking overkill. |

I don't think it would have mattered if MC conserved fuel, because Sidonia continued to move - meaning they would never be able to catch up unless they were able to accelerate to a greater speed than that which Sidonia was moving away from them at. |

Once he achieved said "greater speed" than she was moving away at, he could've just cut his engines and drifted to her. Still having his engines on when he's already achieved the necessary speed is a waste. For example, If you accelerate to 15000 MPH in space, you can kill your engines after achieving that speed and drift at that speed for eternity (as long as you don't encounter anything which might catch you in its orbit and slow you down). I'm just being nit-picky because these mobile suits are always being shown with their thrusters on, when in actuality it would be better to cut them once you achieved your desired output. |

That was great, this show is the only one I'm truly looking forward to this season. Also, holy shit I can't believe they actually showed the pee scene. It's awesome they did, yes, because that is what they should've done in a real situation, but still. That really caught me off guard. xD But yeah, nice, almost "private" episode with Nagate and Hoshijiro. Just exactly what I wanted from all the action of last episode. The moments of slight romance were well done. DerpHole said: Ckan said: DerpHole said: I'm terrible with physics, so shoot me if i'm wrong.Don't these people know how space works?

I'd say it's just a mecha trope in general. In Gundam, for an example, the mechas also always have their thrusters at full power, even when in space. Not really a big deal. |
