TheErebus. Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 It's weird. Like. Really weird. There's a bear woman, parasitic aliens, photosynthesizing humans, INTERSEX HUMANS... And I actually like it. I'm reading it here: http://www.mangahere.co/manga/sidonia_no_kishi/v01/c001/ Story: I was really confused by the story at first, it seemed as if it started at one point without explaining anything but as the series went on I started to get used to it. It's getting really interesting in chapter 30 and beyond. Characters: I dislike the main character as he doesn't seem very interesting, but the rest of the characters are well made and have very interesting personalities (Izana best waif- er...well...this is the intersex character). Visual Style: I like it, sometimes the mouths look a bit weird but overall it's nice. At first it can be a little be confusing during action scenes (because so much S#&$ happens during these scenes) but you get used to it. Overall: I like it, it's a nice mecha series that takes itself quite seriously. The humor is clever when it's added and it has the same feeling that AoT used to have with the chance of everyone dying being very viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratego89 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Had this on my watch list for a while. Maybe I'll finally get around to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheErebus. Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Had this on my watch list for a while. Maybe I'll finally get around to it... I think it'd be best to read the manga. Well at least for me, because I generally prefer manga versions over anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratego89 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) I think it'd be best to read the manga. Well at least for me, because I generally prefer manga versions over anime. I'm not a big manga guy, I prefer anime. Honestly if I had translated paperback I'd read manga instead, but that's... expensive. EDIT: Reasoning: I don't like manga when I have to click through, scroll around, zoom in and out. I like the experience of the feeling of paper and flipping pages, and going through at whatever rate I feel like without the annoyance of how web versions work.

Festinger Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Any maneuvers Sidonia makes the whole ship suffers from the brunt of the fictitious forces (not saying these forces are fictional, but rather a consequence of Newton's 1 law and reference frames). That is... something space shows should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't very good.

That is... something space shows should have. If it needs to do a quick maneuver, people will be smashed into the walls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7-CommanderShepard Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) this manga art looks similar to blame manga but a bit more better Edited June 7, 2015 by N7-CommanderShepard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katakuna Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I only watched the first season of the anime (on a whim, so I didn't even know there was a manga of it). 100% CG animation made non-combat scenes look ugly as donkey balls and stiff as a board, but the combat, the sound effects, and the soundtrack were awesome. I also automatically favor any story where the protagonist isn't an incompetent schmuck, and can actually hold their own in battle. Protagonists like that seem so rare nowadays, where the weakling protagonist dominates their respective genres. I'll download and watch the second season when it finishes airing. Probably won't read the manga until afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
