should i read the manga or watch the anime

>>156331885
the anime is okay so it depends on your mood

no its cancer

Read the anime.

Manga
The anime is ugly and skips over some of the interesting stuff in the first half of the story.

>>156331885
He ends up with worst girl(?) and not the one you are thinking

How did they get gravity without spinning or getting that thing to relativistic speeds in few month's worth of meaningful g acceleration?

>>156331987
Internal grav decks?

>>156331987
Sci-fi handwave

>>156331885
Doesn't matter. It ended dissapointingly anyway. Fuck Nihei and his daughter.

>>156331987
A constant acceleration of 1 g gives you the same gravity as on Earth.
It's not that complicated.

Isn't the anime unfinished?

>>156332429
>constant acceleration
You realize they'll reach light speed after a relatively short time, right?

>>156332429

It is not easy to achieve 1g acceleration and even less to maintain it.

Currently the most feasible (and most likely only) way to achieve artificial 1g gravity is by having a spinning part of the station/ship.

What? We have fighter planes that can splatter pilots from acceleration alone.

>>156331987
they have giant robots, bears and immortality, but gravity is the thing you complain about

They directly state near the start of the series that they have some sort of artificial gravity generator system (presumably running off of higgs particles), although it's very limited. It's meant purely to aid in habitability, it's not much of a combat tool. The seed ships weren't designed originally to be battleships though they had some defenses, largely because before the Sidonia's discovery of the alien structure and anti-guana material it didn't matter at all how much force was used except as a delaying action.

>>156333048
Are you trying to say it's more difficult to accelerate things in vacuum?

>>156332747
Only if they keep accelerating in the same direction forever. Remember how the crew members made such a big deal about clipping themselves to a rail in case the "gravity changed"?

>>156332757
It's unrealistic if you assume real-world technology, but Sidonia is pretty far removed from our reality. It's not unreasonable to assume that whatever engine they're using is way more efficient than anything possible in the real world.

>>156331885
I liked the anime better

>>156333048
>fursuit
it's literally a bio-engineered bear

>>156332757
>It is not easy to achieve 1g acceleration
What? Yeah it is, in fact it's trivial. In space the real issue would be too much acceleration for the ship to handle without breakup (and obviously all squishy biologicals would be dead long before that).

>and even less to maintain it.
That's the actual problem, power source. It takes a torch drive to "realistically" do interstellar flight of significant mass with known tech and the physics there get nasty fast. With our current tech an orion drive or nuclear salt water rocket are likely the only feasible possibilities and still represent major challenges and have limits.

The Higgs particle thing though solves all this in Sidonia so it's just a start conceit of the series. They've got something they can use for their primary drive system and tons of other high energy density or special requirements. If you aren't willing to take that as a foundation obviously you should just not bother with the series. It's based on "a not very advanced compared to us humanity discovers a super new energy source, but the use of it attracts some sort of attacker that already exists in the galaxy and goes straight for Earth long before humanity has actually had much time to really git gud with it and destroys basically our entire industrial/development base".

>>156333066
I'll add that the extreme dangers of acceleration based effects are a massive theme early in the series and remain relevant even later. That's why there are exercises everyone is supposed to engage in all the time as far as hooking onto support bars and such, similar to real world practicing "duck and cover" during the Cold War or fire escape or whatever. Artificial gravity failure was absolutely an anticipated possible catastrophe.

Anime so you don't get the garbage ending

>>156331885
Manga so you don't get the shitty ending.

Read Blame! so you don't get a shitty story

I think a grav failure killed half of the population or something like that

Read Biomega so you don't get a story at all.

>>156331885
Manga first, anime second.

Still salty they didn't do 9/11.

>>156333914
It's like 100% clear that they didn't do 9/11 because of Netflix funding/the Western fanbase. Total bullshit, but it is what it is.

There's been a post on the facebook page & twitter account.... They are going to make an announcement about the anime on Weds 4/26

The blame movie?

>>156335544
No, they specifically said an update about Sidonia. Sounds like good news

So how are they gonna handle the fact that they went anime original in S2?

Also anyone has a webm of this scene?

>>156333758
nice 10fps

>>156335609
hopefully it's an anime original ending

I'm pretty sure Sidionia humans were intersteller even before the Higgs particle discovery.

They'd seen Guana before, but they had previously just ignored humanity unless they got in their face.

When the human race started using Higgs based tech the Gauna descended on earth in droves, the seed ships were built and the rest is history.

IIRC, the Sidonia launched in the 2400s or something.

>>156332757
>>156333287

In vacuum of space? I don't think so.

And remember, the closer you are to the speed of light, the more energy does it take to maintain constant acceleration.

>>156335609
>>156335722
I'm still far from optimism.

>>156331885
the fights were a lot more complex and interesting in the manga.

Izanas first recon mission was downright tense.

>>156331885
why not both it's not like you have a fucking life anyways

>>156337560
>In vacuum of space? I don't think so.
Actually easier than in atmosphere.

>>156331885

Neither.

The manga turns to complete shit by the end. Such promise, all squandered.

>>156333048

The medium doesn't fucking matter, humans simply can't withstand sudden g changes or extended periods of higher than 1g. Either start to black out or get squashed because parts of you are loose, squishy or floating in liquid and do not maintain the same velocity/acceleration. Doesn't matter if it's in the gravity of planet or in the vacuum of space.

I liked the anime. They really nailed the pacing to keep each episode interesting.

>>156333559
Read Abara so you don't go WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST READ.

>>156341399
Are you broken enough to think that Abara's story/ending was clearer than Blame? The fuck did you smoke?

>>156331885
Anime sucks dick.

>>156341558
White gauna fights black gauna, humanity is fucked thanks to pollution, two humans (Adam and Eve) are sent to the future to rebuild the world while on the horizon white and black gauna continue their fight.

Fin, what's there to misinterpret?

it is not awful
if you are a sucker for space sci-fi anime it is pretty good

You are *radically* off. Search the archives if you want to know the actual story.

I don't even care about the waifu wars that much, but the ending was really bad. And the story ended like "ok, we have a new planet. The end."
