It was announced on the cover of the latest issue of the monthly Afternoon magazine that "Sidonia no Kishi" will get an anime adaptation. No other information is available yet. The manga is serialized in Afternoon and so far, nine volumes have been published.

Sidonia no Kishi on MAL
myanimelistllcFeb 14, 2016 12:34 AM
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

"Humans have achieved photosynthesis and new genders"??? I couldn't imagine what other genders would be. Looks interesting.

If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list.

This.
A proper animation for a Nihei manga is something I never thought I'd see in my lifetime. Thank your diety of choice for fulfilling this dream!


And now give me my 10-hour long, faithful BLAME! movie by Madhouse, please.

Lol at "Human has achieved photosynthesis." Cool, converting light energy, water, and carbohydrate in the air into biological matters means human does not need to eat other plants or animals to survive. This also means that human skin will have been greenish in color :))

"New gender" idea brings many different possibilities, but it almost certainly will concern with the way human reproduce. Will they reproduce asexually by mitosis just like plants, or will they have both male/female reroductive organs like earth worms, or will they cease reproduction all together by using artifical methods?

This premise also has to answer the idea of "romance" and "love" in the futuristic society. I hope the anime will give us some detailed insights on the mechanics of such society, not just gloss over them like most sci-fis

And moe, don't forget the moe.

Anyway, I'm glad a Nihei manga is getting a series (even though I haven't read this one yet), but I'm still wondering where the hell is a proper Blame series! D:

We'll never get a proper BLAME! anime. Maybe it's for the best, the atmosphere of the manga is impossible to adapt imho.

On the other side, I wish other series besides Sidonia would get an adaption. Abara would make for a good 1-cour series.

Uh, honestly I didn't expect this. I was just going to start reading the manga... I'll look forward to it. Among Nihei's works I read only Biomega so far, it was confusing but good. I have some expectations from it.

No way, that's one adaptation I would have never expected, too bad Sidonia no Kishi isn't as good as Nihei's previous manga but still, great news.
