I knew Mr.Butthurt was full of crap when he said, lets put our disagreement aside and lets be comrades .

Marzan said:
I don't rule out some sort of sabotage by Kunato (or at least interference). And while I normally don't appreciate characters coming back from the dead, I'm hoping that Hoshijiro is more a case of MIA, still alive somewhere, than actually dead. If she is then...dammmn.

This is the best comment I've read in this thread so far.

Stop going to the Bathsphere. It's a death flag in disguise.

I doubt that she really died, she is the main heroine and should have plot armor, probably got captured and tentacleraped by the last escaped gauna. I more suprised that they killed 28 gaunas, when 1t was a big deal with just one, and now even noob Kunato killed 4, or they were weaker type?;

GhostCell said:
Kunato is a complete prick. God I hope he dies in the most gruesome way. Also just noticed Nagate carrying that sword, for the first time in an episode I think.

Urobutcher looks like a harmless kitten when next to this man.

Botato said:

If Attack on Titan was inspired by this guy's work, then this explains a lot .___.

Botato said:

Oh cool. Now I will try my hardest not to like the characters at all :|

Fai said:
Don't worry, most of times you won't even notice that your favorite died, till few scenes latter. And sometimes it happens offscreen.

That's how many fucks about deaths the author gives.

Fai said:
And yes AoT is basically a fanfic, less grim, less dark version of Nihei's works.

I'm a little disappointed that they didn't show the battle :/

I don't really agree with MAL's ratings but when there's a 500 place gap between 2 shows you have to at least consider that the one that's 500 places ahead might just be better.

I agree that's it a bit cliche but Mahoukou to me is more interesting to watch. I'm not really a fan of slow anime (that's why I never liked Haibane Renmei) and that's probably why I haven't caught the Sidonia bug. Nor do I like Mecha/Sci-fi shows so I'm a bit biased against it.

Also @RazzleDazzle - JoJo does have a decent atmosphere IMO. But it defines on your definition of 'atmosphere'. I'd say it's the tone or mood of a place. JoJo has a light hearted mood but also has suspense. For example, I'm much more anxious to find out what happens in the next episode of JoJo but I'm not that desperate for the next Sidonia episode.

I wonder how many subbers are working on that No Game No Life and Mahouka Koukou garbage?

I'd probably be pretty pissed off if I knew. This community as a whole needs to get its priorities straight :/

Visualized said:

By the way, HorribleSubs subbed Ars Nova yet they didn't do this one. And Netflix streaming this is wonderful. More people can enjoy it.

Fdzzaigl said:
I'm really wondering if they're gonna include some of the later, more ... disturbing ... scenes from the manga.



I hope they have the balls to do it.
And to the people complaining that this anime is slow: it should actually be even slower, as they're skipping scenes from the manga.

Compared to the other works of Nihei, Sidonia is also pretty fast-paced. Most of the atmosphere in his other works comes from wide open vistas and environments that the characters trek across.

Well Hoshijiro is she's

Reite said:

Uhh, please don't word posts like this. I didn't click on any spoiler tag, but from the wording alone I can already know what happened.
It's the same with the thread about Izana's pronouns. I came there expecting a nice discussion about linguistiics and got spoiled horribly without even opening the tags.

Z4k said:
Why would someone compare this with a generic crappy show like mahouka? Please don't do that because mahouka could never get any near to the awesomeness of Sidonia.

U9 said:
Despite its 3D art that takes a bit to get used to, this is one of the few anime that make me feel, that have me on edge and glued to the screen for the duration of the whole episode.

And honestly, it is the only anime that portrays space realistically. No other has ever done it before. In that regard, I'd compare it to the movie Gravity.

skudoops said:


From what I recall Gravity doesn't portray space realistically. Ignoring that, I don't think it was a good movie either.

As a matter of note, HorribleSubs don't translate any shows. That's not what they do. They don't even do recodes. They just rip the streams as-is from CR, Funimation and a couple of other services, repackage them as .mkvs and release them on nyaa torrents.

So if a show isn't simulcast on one of the big services, you won't find it on HorribleSubs. That's why they never do movies or OVAs or DVD/BD releases. This is all explained on HS's page at horriblesubs.info, under the "about" section.

So it's completely meaningless to say "HorribleSubs ripped that but they didn't rip this". HS rips any and all shit that comes down the wire that they have access to. e.g. theÿ "subbed" Super Sonico: The Animation, but aren't subbing Sidonia no Kishi. That says nothing about the relative quality of the actual shows.

Fai said:

I am not sure they will have time to reach that . AT best they will go through end of Volume Four, with .
