Vepariga Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 It's out guys. Ready to do a binge watch over the weekend. Yep my plan too lol watched the first 5 eps, pretty damn good so far. Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 90 bucks for a stick thru a rock??? ...is what I would say if I never saw the show. Hahahaha! Quote
Marzan Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 It's a very pretty rock, though! And a big stick too! Quote
EXO Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Wait... that was the end of Season 2? Kind of lackluster... I thought it the final fight was just a build up to a bigger conflict. The first season had more weight on it through out its length. This one had too much romantic comedy in the middle and what started out as intriguing political struggle in the beginning just vaporized. I was really looking forward to more episodes to tie things up.I'm going to watch it on Netflix to see how different the subs are or maybe give the dub a go. I love the Sidonia design. It's so different from the usual starships we get with these type of shows. The soundtrack also kicks ass. It's one of the animes that I don't fast forward thru the themes. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Oooo season 2 is interesting so far Quote
Vepariga Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Just finished Season 2. Loved it, damn I just couldnt stop. Need season 3 now pls. Dat build up. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 (edited) season 2 is all finished for me so sad there's no more than 12 episodes for a season... i need like 50 episodes Edited July 4, 2015 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Marzan Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Did an awesome job adapting the manga but with some anime original stuff too. The only thing that really surprised me was that they stopped focusing on how Kunato is really no longer Kunato, but the scientist Ochiai. I'm hoping they'll do tat in the 3rd season, but this season really didn't end with any confirmation of us getting a continuation Quote
Keith Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 I don't see how they can't comtinue. Season 1 ended the same. Quote
Vepariga Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Yeah still wayyyy more things to be tied up,Season 3 will deliver on that im sure. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 but i have to wait next year for season 3 Quote
TangledThorns Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Half-way through watching it dubbed. The dubbing is acceptable like last season and helps me keep my eyes on the anime action Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Maybe fall this time? That would be awesome! Quote

Keith Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 ...sensing a marathon while the spouse is at a conference! Resisting urge to make an orgy / divorce joke. Quote
TangledThorns Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) ...sensing a marathon while the spouse is at a conference! Heh, when my wife is out I'd catch up on PC gaming as I'd make her watch anime with me which is fair as I sit with her while she watches all those home improvement shows I also have to skip past that awful intro song. I'm not impressed with many of modern series intro songs in general, they can't compete with the classics such as Macross and Space Battleship Yamato. Edited July 7, 2015 by TangledThorns Quote
Kelsain Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) We agree on a lot of shows & movies, but anime's not really her thing - unless it's Ghibli. So while I might watch one ep at a time, here & there normally; I will be looking forward to having the TV all to myself. I used to PC game while she was away, I recall several late nights of KOTOR way back when. But that was when my system was new and before kids! I kinda like the opening song. Macross & SBY Yamato always come across as a little quaint to me. Edited July 7, 2015 by Kelsain Quote
Duke Togo Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 WTF with the subtitles? They're for the dub, not the original Japanese. Quote
Keith Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 WTF with the subtitles? They're for the dub, not the original Japanese. Check the shows sub settings. I made the same mistake with season 1. Quote
Marzan Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I don't see how they can't comtinue. Season 1 ended the same. Oh they can easily continue. But you forget that season one ended with a big hint at the end that the show was indeed going to continue. I hope this second season sell well in Japan. BTw, I just got the BD's that Sentai released for season one. They don't improve much on the Netflix experience, but you get a lot of nice postcards and pictures of nicest sites on Sidonia drawn by Kihei himself. I'm really, really hoping that for the second season's BD's they include that single episode of Blame that they teased us with. Quote
Keith Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 The BD's also have alternate ep cuts, haven't watched yet to see what's different. Quote
Duke Togo Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Check the shows sub settings. I made the same mistake with season 1. I did. Season 1 just had bad subs; season 2 is actually using the English script for the subs. Quote
Syngyne Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I did. Season 1 just had bad subs; season 2 is actually using the English script for the subs. Yeah, that was annoying with season 1 online. The BR release has actual translations rather than dubtitles. Quote
Duke Togo Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Also, halfway through this second season it becomes harem anime? WTF? Quote
EXO Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Yup... with a giant talking penus. It always hinted at the harem thing since the beginning with Hoshijiro, Izana and Yuhata in the mix. But now it's full on with them living in the same house and all the over the top slapstick violence. Not to mention Samari hitting on him unsuccessfully. It took a really big bite out of this year from the more intriguing storylines. Sadly it steers back into place a little too late because there's barely time at the end for the heavier stuff with a lot of loose ends from everything they introduced at the start of Season 2. Quote

A cute giant talking penus that blushes. Does your penus blush? Edited July 8, 2015 by SuperHobo Quote
Marzan Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 The harem bit does somewhat diminish the experience. I sometimes do not know if Nihei is doing it for a laugh. It's so unlike his other work. A Spoiler for the manga at your own peril in case a 3rd season gets made Come on do you really want to spoil yourself? Do not read unless you absolutely must. It is heavily implied that Tanikaze's cherry is popped by no other than the captain of Sidonia. Yes, she the one that's hundreds of years old! Quote
myk Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I don't think Ive ever seen a spoiler alert within a spoiler alert before... Quote
Vepariga Posted July 9, 2015 Posted July 9, 2015 I didnt mind the light hearted fun in between, let you get to know the characters on a more personal note and in doing so makes you worry for their safety later on when it gets back into the seriousness of combat. Sometimes its good to have that little breaker. Quote
