Wow, Tsumugi is so moe. That tentacle scene was hilarious.

What happened to Kobayashi? That ending scene was insane, did not expect that coming.

Sidonia went full on Parasyte and its fucking awesome. Sequel of the season so far

Tsumugi's penis(?) so fucking MOE!!!

Can't believe I'd say that in a show like this.. I don't even say that on moe shows

Those tentacle sex innuendo though... Izana looked like she had just experienced her first anal.

The ending was brutal! Pretty much a coup d'etat

Deymn! that Hybrid is uber strong! and seems to have an attachment to Nagate.
Both Izana and Nagate were tentacle raped! haha!
The Immortal council were all slaughtered because of their arrogance!
Captain Kobayashi has her own conspiracy??!? wonder if she would team-up with Kunato.
But i think Kunato has his own plans.

They're clearly doing some stuff differently than in the manga now, but that might not be a bad thing. I hope the director/screenwriter have a clear direction. It seems they're in bit of a hurry right now. Having said that, they truly have made Tsumugi justice and she's gonna deliver a lot of joy to everyone.

Sound effects are unmatched in anime as usual.

One of the latest manga chapters said that the anime would be different; expect an anime original ending. Kinda too late for them to fix the timeline anyway, if they wanted to go back and stick to the manga. I'm curious about what they have in store for us tbh, the anime original content in S1 was pretty cool after all.

It says some developments will be different. This is vague and could mean either events rearrangement, anime original content/ending, or a combination of both.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Two weeks into this and I'm wondering why there are still so few people here.

The show is really one of the best sci-fi series in quite a while, and yet it feels like no ones really that interested. I'm kinda disappointed.

Tsumugi feels like a proper child, I like the curious nature that she has for everything, specifically Tanikaze. Her speech was kinda funny in all honesty, it was like watching a 4 year old recite the declaration of independence when her favorite boy comes walking into the room. The way she was swaying around in excitement was hilarious!

Can't wait to watch episode 3 now.

Huh, the Council sure had nothing to back their confidence with(as I suspected in the first place). But I can't fully agree with Kobayashi as she's obviously co-operating with a dangerous guy even if she doesn't suspect that he's Ochiai.

Ok, I take it they used Hoshijiro-Ena heart (maybe even her brain) to make that Chimera. Though, technically, she would be still just gauna, right?

I find Tsumugi interesting character though, it's obvious that she resembles Hoshijiro in many ways.
Wonder what her further interactions with Tanikaze will be.

But I'm bit lost there. It's clear three of them - Mozuku, Norio and Tahiro are controled by Nematodes (worms) - or whatever that is. But why Mozuku adressed Norio as Ochiai-sama in the first episode? And why is captain cooperating with Nagato family when they were put into discrace in the last season? Why would she approve of Ochiai's chimera research in the first place? Did she do that only to remove immortal council and save herself?

Also, what role does have Izana's grandma Shinatose Yure in this? How did she persuaded captain and why did she even obeyed Kunato? Was retreival of Ochia's memories Yure did enough for her? And what about cloned Ochiai, why did they freed him in the end to have his vengeance? What use is him now to them (rather than potential threat) when they transfered all of his memories to ship supercomputers already?

So many answers...

No, and no she's a chimera not a gauna. She has the physical abilities of gauna but the mentality and emotions of a human.

As for how she was created:

As it is implied in the anime, Ochiai took over Kunato's brain/body. That isn't Kunato right now.

Mich666 said:

She doesn't hate Nagate or Hiro, she was forced to make him participate in every mission (equivalent of a death sentence given the survival rate) because of the immortal council peeps. But they are kill now so no need for Nagate to suffer.

[quote=Mich666]Why would she approve of Ochiai's chimera research in the first place? Did she do that only to remove immortal council and save herself?[/spoiler]To fight the gigantic gauna hive that's in Sidonia's path a few million light years ahead. They need more power and the Chimera research is exactly that.

Shinatose Yure is one of the most important scientists in Sidonia; she is the one who engineered humans with photosynthesis which helped greatly in rebuilding Sidonia's population after the 4th defense war (there were barely ~500 survivors after that war). The Captain trusts Yure and her research and they've been working together for over a hundred years, so it shouldn't be too difficult for Yure to persuade the Captain. Not sure about why Yure listened to Kunato though.
The clone is under perfect control so there's no risk whatsoever from having him, he's a useful asset overall so not sure why they'd off him. Also they didn't transfer the data anywhere; they just managed to reach it since it was locked away in Ochiai's brain (unless I mixed up something).

Personally I'm just glad Sidonia has something else as OP as Tanikakaze, and she's a cutie to boot. Also unless someone has proof the MC and his Unisex "girlfriend" didn't just get penetrated by what looks to be new best girl, I call canon on that.

It hurts to see Hoshijiro has been turned into a moe Gauna.

Good to see the "Immortals" are eliminated and rightly so. I don't like Kobayshi or Kunato-fraction at all, but I give my vote for doing what they did, at least for now.

Dat Kobayashi in this episode.


One does not simply remove Kobayashi. Damn this woman is awesome and hard core.

So is this Tsumugi Gauna mech using the Hoshijiro placenta girls memories maybe to form her personality?

MegaShadowFist said:
I feel so bad for Izana. Meeting Tsumugi must have been a very traumatic experience for her. Haha

I was not expecting the immortal council to be completely obliterated like that. Was Kobayashi infected with the parasite off-screen? I don't recall her ever getting infected, but it certainly seems like she has. I doubt that she would have completely gone off the deep-end like that out of her own free will. Or maybe she would. Who knows? I'm sure that they'll explain that later.


That was all Kobayashi as i can tell. The woman doesn't need some silly parasite infecting her to get rid of some dirt. The reason she took drastic measures was simply because the council was planning on taking authority from her and everything she did would have been ruined.

The episode without that little side comedy, would be perfect for me.
Perhaps some may even pleasure, I do not deny that I have a little smile I also see in the alien play Tanikaze and Isana, but given the gloomy atmosphere and the final bloody enough, I would not say that it was appropriate to show a similar with lyrics. Narration overall good, so also the texture, the pace is a little faster this time too, I just hope that not too summarize the story. The harem of Tanikaze expands in every direction, LOL!

Why did Kobayashi use the clone to kill the council if she's there anyways? Whats the point of hiding behind the door until they are dead? Was it simply because he could use whatever he did and they do not really have hand-held weapons?

So who's really the villain here? Kunato stole Ochiai's research, infected some people with his virus thingy, and made a chimera. A chimera that was useful in the fight against the gauna. Then there are those stupid people lying in stone tombs plotting to replace Kobayashi. Then Kobayashi ordered Ochiai's clone to massacre those bitches. Kobayashi then appeared but this time not wearing her mask of which might I add is pointless in the first place because of the character design in this anime, everyone pretty much look like the same.

Still not sure what to feel about Tsumugi.

· A mad scientist who wants to develop a new, obscure and dangerous weapon that has self conscious and shares parts with the enemies.
