Yes i was hoping for another season of the anime. That's fucking awesome.

I already read the manga and it's already one of my favorite mangas.

I just hope they don't change the end.

Yay! An anime adaptation that may actually end the story like the Manga. That's pretty rare nowadays so great for them! Watch it air in 2018 in the same season that Shingeki no Kyojin S3 airs. SnK and SnK goodness!

The anime S2 ended at the volume 9 of the manga so there is only 6 more volumes. They most likely can finish the story with just more 13 episodes.

SnK 3 vs SnK 3. I think Sidonia will air in Spring 2018 and AoT will air in Fall 2018.

THERE IS A GOD!!!!

I am absolutely in love with this Anime, Manga, and Studio!! When I heard there were no plans on continuing the series I was beyond upset and made it a personal mission to spread the word on how great and original this series is. In no small part of my own, I'm sure, I was excited as I saw the exposure and subsequent score grow.

Thank You Polygon Pictures and Sentai Filmworks !!

Sentai had nothing to do with this. Also, both seasons sold well in Japan, so I'm not really surprised.

I was going to start watching this series today, but maybe I will wait for season 3 and start watching then. I read the manga years ago until I caught up to the raws and never got back into it after that. The more I think about the manga the more I remember how awesome it is.

Okay, I would agree that it is watchable. But right now it is that ‘nothing but clichés’ type of mecha. Think for a second…, just for one second. There is no Zero Two chick in this anime. Will people watch it? No. She is like the only reason people are still watching it. Do not get me wrong, I am perfectly fine with the fact that some people are enjoying it; they are free to do it. And I too want to enjoy and find something good about this show, but it is too early for that.

As far as I know, we do not know the date, but we know that there will be season 3.

Probably Spring 2019, Polygon Pictures will be releasing two seasons of Fist of the Blue Sky: Regenisis in the Spring of the Fall of this year. They also have the second Godzilla movie in May and a second season of Pingu in the City. They have a third Godzilla film too, which will likely come out in November given the sixth month gap between the first two. I don't expect to see Knights of Sidonia season 3 or Blame! movie 2 until 2019. Plus 2019 will be the 10th anniversary of the Knights of Sidonia manga.

Yeah, the date is just my prediction. Kodansha probably isn't in a rush to get season 3 out since the manga ended in 2015. At least it will likely be one of the few modern anime to be a complete adaptation.

I absolutely loved season 1 and absolutely despised season 2. They can´t redeem themselves at this point on my opinion.

Where was the realist hard sci-fi on S2. Where are the deaths? Where is the plot, nothing is explained about Ochiau or the Inmortal Council, origin of the Gaunas, where did they find those firs Kabis...

Instead we get a shitty harem slice of life comedy. And I´m not against this kind of anime, but god the shift was to abrupt from season 1 to season 2. I´m not saying don´t put in romance, most mecha shows have had romance since forever, just do it in a convincing and mature way that harmonizes with the atmosphere that was previously presented.

I will still be watching this anyway...

Are you confusing it with another series? It was a rather straightforward adaptation. I don't recall major changes. The only thing that stood out was that the action scenes were easier to follow.

Do you know what hard sci-fi means? Hard sci-fi is all about trying to be as much accurate as possible to real science. Sidonia is not a hard sci-fi anime/manga.

The second part is a little slower, yes. Most of what you are asking was explained latter in the manga (past the part where the anime reached), except...

Gaunas are a alien race, period. There is nothing else to explain here cause humans doesn't know much about the Gaunas and their origin. I don't even think it's important for them to know where the Gaunas came from cause in the end the only thing they need to do is to destroy the Gaunas in their path and keep going forward as a ship designed to populate other planets.

Why? You just have to not watch it. You don't have to watch it just because they are adapting it.

As far as "science fiction" goes, I believe that Sidonia leans more towards the "realistic" side of sci-fi than most. There is not FTL travel. Gundams/Mecha with multiple thrusters on their limbs operating under Newtonian physics will [i]always[/b] be more realistic than spacefighters with a single engine at the back flying as if they are in the air. The cloning technology is already plausible, and "laser" weapons can work, albeit if you look into alternatives such as particle weapons and electric cannons. To me, the most "unrealistic" aspect of the series was Sidonia's artificial gravity, (season 2 spoilers)
in the second season.

I for one enjoyed the SoL. It's rare to find a science fiction anime that takes aside the time to actually explore its speculative setting from the perspective of people's ordinary lives, outside of mecha pilots engaging in philosophy debates over open comms and Skynets trying to take over the world. It also lent tension to the crises that erupted, as we have become intimately familiar with the people and lives that are being threatened, and root for the heroes even more.

As for character deaths, I'm of the opinion that the whole "characters must die for there to be stakes" trend that GoT started to be rather silly. Only one major character died in LotR (and did so 30% of the way into the story) and I was still unsure as to whether or not Faramir would overcome his jealously, if Saruman would realize that there still is hope, or if Frodo's soul would survive. In that case, Tolkien got me invested in "whether or not the character will overcome their flaw", not "whether or not they will survive". On that note, I am unable to recall if Nagate was in the midst of a moral or spiritual struggle. If so, that may explain why people are feeling as if there is no "question" outside of the obvious "will they defeat the Gauna? (ofcourse they will!)" It's been a couple year since I last watched Sidonia, so I may be remembering incorrectly.

But then how will I cringe with all the asspulls and bs that happen in the manga?

Then again there's always the off chance of not adapting the manga and just going anime original, which even worst case scenario it will still be better than the manga.

I probably won't watch this. I loved season 1 and 2, but having read the manga I don't want to have to see the the same godawful ending again. For fans of the anime, I suggest you stay away from the ending (likely being the 11th or 12th episode), as it's VERY disappointing.

I understand what you mean when saying Sidonia is more "realistic" than Gundam, but it's still very far from being truly realist so it cannot be called hard sci-fi.

I agree with the other things you said. I enjoyed the manga a lot and i liked the sol stuff too. Sidonia was in space for more than 1000 years so i found it enjoyable to see their daily lives instead of just battles. It was one of the things i enjoyed about the manga.

considering what others have said about the manga ending, im not really hyped for it anyway. I just loved the initial episodes, kinda adventure/mystery/sci fi. Season 2 was already just the CGI sci fi.
