Knights of sidonia-an anime made by netflix. That alone got me pretty stoked to watch this, honestly who thought it would be any good? Well, I can quite honestly say it was. At first, the anime might put you off-awkward character designs that are clones of each other and terrible voice acting so none of the words are in sync. They used 3d rendering as opposed to normal 2d for most anime, and this explains the awkward character design, but where these types of animations excel are within the space scenes. they are so incredibly detailed and have depth so all the gauna appear larger than life. Its a double edged sword, as it makes for weaker character designs but unique and epic space fight scenes.

So for a pros and cons list, here it goes-Very in depth story with a few sudden plot twists, but very plain jane bland characters to help support them. They say a lot of lines that sound like everyday conversation at a grocery market, which is slightly annoying because some of the character actions are pretty interesting. Like all the immense planning that comes into defeating every single gauna and the factor that theirs always some cost associated with it-I mean large scale sacrifice. This actually makes the story a bit intriguing as the character actions are always associated with some sort of sacrifice, which is almost like a sub-theme here. (this is mostly where the attack on titans comparison comes from probably).

Sound is used super sparingly in the anime itself, but as for intro and outros the Beethoven-techno intro is pretty cool and grand. The outro is slightly metalcore in addition, like a watamote intro.

So did i like this anime? yes. Did i love it? no. Theirs alot of room for improvement, and i hope they expand upon this in the 2nd season. Its good for any sci-fi fan most certainly, or if you even like mech animes. Great action and a pretty realistic take on a very unrealistic story are what make this anime worth watching.
