Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
name_not Excellent watch for both newcomers and experienced anime viewers alike.Although it has a 3d animation which is not so common in anime, it is still put to good use in the battle scenes, but also in regular drama moments as well.Most characters can easily be categorized into classic anime tropes, but this show doesn't pretend it is reinventing the wheel. It is doing the hero-saves-all thing in a very satisfying way. The hero is of course the center of a harem, but that theme is done quite tastefully here as not everyone drools over him. The battles are top of the notch. Dynamic, intense, with plenty of cool moments, not just your regular what-the-hell-is-going-on-here battles.And maybe my favorite part is the mystery and the many questions it presents the viewer, which are not to be taken lightly. It wonders about gender, love, friendship, and then delves into some more heavy themes like cloning, calculations with death as collateral damage, and some other ones( shouldn't spoil anything :) )I give my humble recommendation. You are not gonna regret watching this!
arturodv1996 This is another show I just finished, and all I can say is that it may not be for everyone. What's neat is that it's the first original Netflix anime. So I gave it a shot and I liked it. The story is about a boy coming out of his hidey-hole into the public world. It turns out that the world he's in is a spaceship, Earth is destroyed, and humanity has lived in the spaceship for six hundred years, while aliens known as Gauna are trying to destroy them. What does humanity have? Robots, obviously. The robot pilots are Knights of Sidonia. The last episode is ..... well as usual with a lot of shows, this one ends in a cliffhanger. In Season 2, there were a lot of things going on between two sides. All I can say is that if you watched Evangelion, and feel that it's out there, well, you might also think that about this show too. But if you liked Evangelion, then you'll probably enjoy this one as well. Some shows that have weirdness don't always bother me, unless it gets tooooo over the top nonsense. But you never know; even if you think Evangelion was over the top you might not feel the same about Knights of Sidonia. I guess you should just watch it to find out. Netflix also has a Spanish dub version, which was a pleasant surprise, so I might watch it all over again in Spanish. Hopefully they will come out with another season since the creator said he would end his manga on September 25 of this year. We'll just have to wait and see. Overall, I enjoyed this show.
hivort Well, this is short review that old anime fans might find useful. This show is basically some sort of Neon Genesis Evangelion remake, or at least strongly based on, I'm surprised that few people noticed that, and no, this is far from being intense as NGE, but it's a really good show and definitely worth being watched. I giving it a 8 out 10 because the main character lacks of some development, I'd say that 50% of Nagate's(which would be Ikari Shinji in NGE) sentences are "hmm" literally. This show also have some very provocative scenes that makes me want to watch some hentai and some sort of gore scenes.I'll finish with: the show leaves some unanswered mysteries and questions, a really nice hook for a sequel, which is great, many of best animes out there leave you alone and feeling deserted since they have only one season, this is not the case.this is my first review on IMDb, i hope you find it useful, I tried to do my best without giving any spoiler.
Jim Fess So i found this show because i had off on the 4th of July 2014, and i decided to dedicate the entire day to Netflix. As soon as i went on Netflix it showed me this newly released title "Knights of Sidonia" and i wasn't that interested by the description or the images because i saw mecha type anime(robots). That immediately discouraged me because i hate mecha type anime, but for some reason something inside me just couldn't resist watching one episode. So i start episode 1 and my first reaction was the picture quality, it was so strange and 3-D-ish. At first i wasn't sure if i even liked it but i finished episode 1 and thought it was decent. I decided to give one more episode a try before i decided if i was gonna watch it or drop it and boy am i glad i did! After episode 2 i got use to the strange animation and the story really picked up from there. Every single episode left you in suspense for the next, its been along time since a show caught my eye like this show did! This show has a very unique concept on the human race and how they've changed in the future this is one thing that really caught my attention. And the action and mystery were very nice too. Both opening and ending are very good in my opinion. This show has post-apocalyptic, romance, action, and mystery. I'm really excited for season two and i'm very happy that this was English dubed the same time as japans release.Overall: 4/5. Why not 5/5? The animation basically. I think if they would have used what ever effects they did on the animation during specific parts in the show rather than the entire thing it would have looked better. Don't get me wrong though even with the strange or different animation style this show is really good. The story is a 5/5 for me, theirs just so much suspense and mystery and cool concepts i love it all. And don't forget i don't even like mecha genre anime and i loved this, that basically says it all! Edit: Just finished season 2 and i have to say i think it was even slightly better than the first, for me it kept the same suspense at the end of every episode. It had its adorable moments along with epic action and some unraveling of the shows mystery's. The opening theme wasn't as memorable as the first season but if you listen past the first few seconds its actually pretty decent. I enjoyed the ending theme very much, it gave me the old eerie feeling of paint peeling. And i have to say my judgment of the animation has changed since my first viewing, just because the style is different from the mainstream isn't a bad thing and i think this is one of the few shows that can be done the way it was and come out well. 4/5 for season 2, its completely consistent with season 1 quality and for me i think i enjoyed it slightly more, cant wait for season 3! If you were a fan of season 1 you will absolutely love season 2, i promise!
