Synopsis

After destroying Earth many years ago, the alien race Gauna has been pursuing the remnants of humanity—which, having narrowly escaped, fled across the galaxy in a number of giant seed ships. In the year 3394, Nagate Tanikaze surfaces from his lifelong seclusion deep beneath the seed ship Sidonia in search of food on the upper levels, only to find himself dragged into events unfolding without his knowledge. When the Gauna begin their assault on Sidonia, it's up to Tanikaze—with the help of his fellow soldiers and friends Shizuka Hoshijiro, Izana Shinatose, and Yuhata Midorikawa—to defend humanity's last hope for survival, and defeat their alien foes. Sidonia no Kishi follows Tanikaze as he discovers the world that has been above him his entire life, and becomes the hero Sidonia needs. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Pretty decent anime, honestly. The pacing was mostly consistent, the soundtrack was at its peak, the visuals were absolutely stunning and engaging to watch, and the plot pretty much summed up whatever needed to be summed up. Izana is truly the goat, but I still dislike Norio.

Gotta appreciate the voice acting in this, too, man, the raw fear in their voices does get your heart pumping. Absolutely intense from start to finish. It's amazing to see how the Gauna learns and adapts so the captain and her advisors can't use the same tactics twice. You really need to think out of the box to earn your victory.

Not Nagate actually being interested in Ena... the resemblance it has to Hoshijiro has me very creeped out. The lore drop in this episode was pretty interesting and weird. I can't wait for the big finale, especially with that Gauna that supposedly is Hoshijiro's Garde.
