Is this any good? The animation is slideshow-tier and the characters look ugly, but the setting seems interesting.
music and animation were better in the manga, go read that instead
You might get turned off by the shitty Polygon Pictures CGI but there's definitely something to be had there. At the very least it does something with its' sci-fi premise, but it also falls into a "nothing ever happens" phase where we meander without a real ending.
>>290095491I hate how this was Nihei's most popular work despite being the 1st or 2nd worst he's ever done
>>290098980Is it really? I figured it was still blame by a long shot. Guess that's the power of having an anime adaptation
UCHIKUDAKETOKI MICHITEIKIRU TAMETOKIHANATE
>>290095491tsumugi is lovego read mangalast movie was okay, had a few tacticool moments
>>290095767i just can't reconcile with the fact nihei's amazing stuff was done dirty by the polydogshit.i, like, i don't even know anyone as bad as polygon even from the early days of budget cgi.imagine blame or sidonia animated like the last wish. or like cgi trigun. or like new gits.ugh, what could have been...
>>290095767Pretty much this.
>>290098980shut the fuck up, it's only second to blame. also tsumugi is love. are you a seething izanafag? i thought you all kyssed.
Read Tower Dungeon.
>>290101521Nihei was unpopular in general before sidonia which was most likely part of his self confidence issues that led to him being bullied into going the generic haremslop route sidonia onwards>>290101833>the start of Nihei abandoning his fantastic artstyle due to editor bullying for years on end>doing the most pandering harem shit possible with bland girls some of which are completely half assedly thrown in and abandoned once their introduction is over>plot is somehow even more meandering than stories about characters walking to the edge of the solar systemIt was fucking trash and the only reason it hovers between second and first worst is because Aposimz exists to0 compete with it.
>>290102288tower dogshit is plausibly worse than the great snow dogshit thing.
>>290102864Dumb retard.
>>290102460>izanafags are still madlol. lmao even.
>>290102288Why do you keep posting this shitty tweening shit to shill your shitty manga when there's an actual animated trailer for it now?
>>290102897avatarfagging with your waifu only proves his point you know
>>290102880>generic fantasy crap(though some interesting glimpse of scifi in that resurrection)>a billion meaningless moe characters>nothing ever happensit's okay for nihei to have peaked back during blame. tower dungeon is some sort of insane cope from /a/. it's just bland shit, and sort of the same trajectory of nihei being dragged down by the normiecattle.
>>290102902Dumb retard.
Blame is recognized as his best work, but he peaked with Biomega. Tons of interesting scenes, actions, places, characters, creations. He just fucks up the ending.
>>290103543>He just fucks up the ending.I take that back. Its one of his better endings.
>>290103543the city was his best character. biomega was all about action nonsense. it was his first step in the wrong direction.
>>290101755Smoogy is the main girl after all, but I remember so chuds here hating on her during S2 anime run.
OP here, no clue what you guys are all talking about, but I did decide to stick with the series and I'm halfway through the first season. I just wanted to say is that I loved the part where the MC and Hoshijiro are stranded in space. I've watched lots of mecha/sci-fi anime and very rarely are there any similar moments like this that feel... real. In this sequence outer space was more than just a backdrop for the action. It impressed me.
>>290095491No. As a long time Nihei fan, it was literally witnessing how one of my formative years favorite author/literary heroes sell out in real time like a cheap whore, and just to make unamusing science fantasyslop at that. After that, each successive work he has churned out has been worse and worse, culminating in that atrocious fantasyslop about some native Isekai labyrinth tower. So short answer is not, it's not just bad, it's a fucking tragedy about a man losing his soul, is what it is.
>>290103843I agree. Polygon did great jobs with those scifi scenes. 3DCG just fits well.
>>290102460>>290103887fucking schizo
>>290103887native isekai is a term used exclusively by retards
>>290098980I like it and re read it every year, I like all his manga but something about sidonia is super comfy and interesting to me.Like the weird culture and rules and shit that have developed over a thousand years stuck in a generation ship.It's also surprisingly funny at points.
>>290102288>Tower Dung eonEew.
>>290095491>>290101666Was listening to Angela and this song just started.
>>290102288kino
>>290104497Fantastic non argument, retard. Okay, since you're exclusively concerned with semantics, let's replace "native Isekai" with an euphemism. How about "Trope driven uncreative fantaslop trash". It's longer, but still an apt description for Tower Dunceon.
>>290098980I guess harem story is easier for general audiences to chew.It got out of Nihei's hands by the time Teruru was introduced, I believe.
>>290095491Sidonia is fine. Make sure to read Solaris to see from where gauna idea came from.
>>290095491It's fine compared to most other seasonal anime, but utterly lacking in sovl when compared to other Nihei's stories.
>>290104497Frankly I don't think the people who use the regular isekai term are all that more intelligent. This shit the appropriate terminology decades before new wave weebs started feeling like they needed to come up with their own, inferior, jargon.
>>290098980>I hate how this was Nihei's most popular work despite being the 1st or 2nd worst he's ever done
>>290095759Kek.>>290095491I liked it. I had this dumb idea of him being like Smithy Weberman Jensen because he was a clone off the ace, there number one. That and the gals that trooned out in the end.
