Yes, the post title is correct. A second season of Sidonia no Kishi really made too much sense not to happen. Presumably when someone leaked the news early a couple of weeks ago, all of the relevant parties denied it because there were still t’s to be crossed and i’s […] Read more
One ep left? Yeah, okay… Well now – that episode was certainly a full-on nerdgasm. When it comes to sci-fi cred, Sidonia no Kishi checks off pretty much every box. In a way it hybridizes Western sci-fi novels and films (which the mangaka is obviously a huge fan of) with […] Read more
A squirrel or a bust – which would you choose, Akari? Sidonia no Kishi – 10 I’m quite stumped as to where Sidonia no Kishi is headed with only three episodes left. The story is definitely still in the expansion phase with no signs of that reversing soon, and the […] Read more
I’ll say this for Sidonia no Kishi – it’s certainly giving us an interesting love triangle. Boy, placenta, and gender unspecified (though there is the annoying overachiever XO Midorikawa in there too). Sidonia no Kishi – 09 There was an interesting development in the world of Sidonia no Kishi this […] Read more
Damn – is this show really only 12 episodes? I’ve said all along that my biggest worry with Sidonia no Kishi wasn’t the complete reliance on CGI (that is what it is) but the length. I think this show is about 25% Yamato, 25% Evangelion, 25% Shingeki and 25% Star […] Read more
Every bit as good as you’d expect, that one. Sidonia no Kishi is nothing if not predictable. I think you could read a one-paragraph synopsis of any episode in the series so far and predict with almost total accuracy how successful that episode was going to be. This is a […] Read more
Sci-fi Saturday indeed… Sidonia no Kishi – 06 I hesitate to group these two shows together in a single post, because it’s not really fair to either of them – apart from both being science fiction there isn’t much that links them, and the constant comparisons are more than a […] Read more
Now that’s presenting taking the piss in a wholly different light. In the time I’ve been blogging, no show has ever survived “On the Respirator” status in the season check-in post. But Sidonia no Kishi might just be the first one, if the last two episodes are any indication. I […] Read more
Why can’t all of Sidonia no Kishi look like the eyecatches? Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou – 05 We’re almost at the halfway point of this series, so the decision really can’t be dragged out much longer. But more and more Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou is looking like one of those […] Read more
Ok, I have to ask – what the hell is the deal with the bear? Sidonia no Kishi – 02 I certainly want to like this show, but there are some major flies in the ointment. Between the really ugly character CGI and the fact that a big story is […] Read more
