As a kid, art was always the first lure for <br />me when it came to comic books. If the art wasn't there I couldn't<br />bring myself to invest in the comic book. The same holds true for<br />anime. I'm looking for art, science fiction and quality writing.<br />I think Knights Of Sidonia nails all three of my requirements.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-35074516033481709792016-04-19T12:30:41.106-04:002016-04-19T12:30:41.106-04:00Started watching this one thanks to your reviews, ...Started watching this one thanks to your reviews, gotta say, I'm digging it. I've only seen the first two episodes, but I will continue to watch the whole thing, the animation is top notch which is always a must for me, but the story is also gripping as are the designs. Love it so far!

It's a very<br />thoughtfully built series I think.<br /><br />I also noted the opening theme song in my first review of the show. It's just downright awful. I generally can't stand J-pop and it's the one thing I would eliminate from the series in favor of something more sophisticated. I would prefer an instrumental selection for the opener---not JPOP! Terrible unless you like that sort of thing.SFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-50002186484702192502015-11-29T12:36:57.558-05:002015-11-29T12:36:57.558-05:00Yeah, I just watched the first episode the other n...Yeah, I just watched the first episode the other night, and thought it looked amazing and also enjoyed some of the world building. As Nagate learns more about his new environment, we do too, and it's a strange place. I hope it offers newer and odd things about that civilization as it goes along like how people are asexual (and I believe the cadet said have both body parts? or neither? At any rate you get that sexual desires are no longer needed). The large nurse? bear character was a fun addition as well. At any rate, having watched only one episode it seems to be pretty dense and might take multiple viewings to get everything. The artwork though is fantastic, and I like the characters. The characters voices, and the soundtrack works for me too, though I didn't think the initial song at the beginning of the series was that strong at least when compared to Evangelion's lead song. All in all my initial impression is positive though. El Voxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985563041511492981noreply@blogger.com
