| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Holy animation. My favorite part of the episode was the intensity of the first half. Seriously, it was very thrilling to see if Izana would survive or not. I found the transition between the camera shots in from her spacecraft's point of view to the outer world to be quite clever. Really neat stuff imo. This was definitely a welcoming episode. Hoping they can keep up this momentum to the very end. Action in the second half was nice with Nagate and Tsugumi (a pissed off one if I may add). Damn it cliffhanger. |
 |
| Still waiting on subs like usual. |
| Fear is the mind killer. |
| Next episode Tsumigi vs Benisuzume it will be intense (hope so) |
 |
| Holy shit this episode was intense as fuck But nevermind the great visuals and action scenes.....Benisuzume is back and she's looking so much like Hoshijiro....I can't imagine the things going through Tsumugi's mind right Her fight with Tsumugi was already awesome in this episode but oh my goodness I can already see that round 2 is going to be hype as fuck....It's almost like she's fighting her own mother :( Tanikaze must be feeling very conflicted right now |
| Holy shit..Benisuzume is back! This season has been pretty great sofar and im hyped for next weeks ep. |
| Was expecting Benisuzume to make its appearance in Planet NINE for some reason and 702 it is. The sound director nailed it! This episode was almost perfect. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Izana was pretty smart to avert the Gauna by sacrificing her fuel tanks. Well, at least she'll be safe for the time being. Dat Benisuzume at the end doe! Still just as creepy and cute as ever! So looking forward to the fight between her and Tsumugi! Good episode. Animation quality was particularly amazing during the actions scenes. |
 |
| Oh shit, Benisuzume is back. Tsugumi is doomed. |
 |
| finally getting back on track. This episode did a good job of escalating tension/drama. best episode in a long time |

 |
| God damn that music while Benisuzume appeared was kick ass. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Oh damn that was one of the best episodes this season. Looking forward to next week. |
 |
| Some changes from the manga, but I don't mind it at all. The sequences with Izana and her crew getting rid of the Gauna were spectacular. I'm always repeating this in the Sidonia discussion threads, but whoever is the sound director of Sidonia deserves an award. |

| Spectacular episode and not only actionwise Izana showing her wits was awesome to see I didn't expect Benisuzume still being around |

Stark700 said: Holy animation. Finally my Sidonia is back. And I could have never hoped to get my Benisuzume back, this is best episode of the season. |
  |
| Dat cliffhanger tho D: Benisuzume is back <3 Gotta love her/it and that ominous laugh XD TsumugixNagate is so cute :3 And Dat Tsugumori MkIII. Not a scratch after all that impact? DAMN! U gotta admit Ochiai saved the day a bit :P And Isana's thinking was pretty smart too. Nxt ep is HYPE!! |
 |
| Of all the characters that I was expecting to make a return, I was definitely NOT expecting Benisuzume to return. That really caught me by surprise. And it seems that she's developed a protection system akin to Garra's sand from Naruto. This should be interesting. Also, I must say that the CG in this anime looks absolutely spectacular. You can tell that a lot of time and effort went into Benisuzume this time around. I really like her more humanoid design look this time, too. While I was one of the few people who actually legitimately enjoyed the romcom phase of this series, I'm glad to see the action return. This is certainly going to get intense. |
| holy moly that benisuzume model looked gorgous |
| Disappear. This chair is an eyesore. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. This chair. |
| So. Damn. HYPED!!!! Benisuzume's return wasn't as much of a surprise, but the manner in which they announced her arrival was Hype as Fack! Her new look, with the Hishijirou-like head, was unexpected, but man did they deliver on the wow factor. The initial portion with Izana falling through the atmosphere all the way up to Tanikaze and Tsumugi's rescue mission was already had me on the edge of my seat, but to re-introduce Benesuzume like that... best episode this season! A Gardes-sized Hoshijirou with 702 tattooed to her forehead..... <3  The return of Benisuzume And just for good measure, Tsumugi's "Get away from my Tanikaze!" moment Hyped for next Episode! |

| 23 replies and it's already been a day. Fucking tastes, MAL users. Planet Nine looks something out of a sci-fi. Meanwhile, Benisuzume is being op asf. rip tsumugi |

| Fuuuck these next two eps are going to be insane. Benisuzume looks so sick! Tanikaze can't catch a break from Hoshijirou's death(me neither). His resolve is much stronger now but seeing the 702 like that is surely going to affect him. |
 |
| Excuse me while I do a keyboard smash. God, this episode had me on my toes the entire time. WAITING FOR NEXT WEEK WITH BAITED BREATH. |
| Yeah okay I'm not even sure what they're changing from the manga anymore @_@ But hey who cares, it's still mostly faithful. Anyway, the new Tsugumori made from that megastructure material is OP. They didn't really explain just how tough it is a few episodes ago when it was introduced, but long story short it will make the survival rate in missions close to 100%. ... You know, assuming they have enough resources to completely switch over to megastructure-enhanced gardes. Episode felt a little dragged out tbh, but then again we got to hear more eargasmic sound effects. Next episode Tsumugi against her mother, Benisuzume, and Tanikaze vs. fodder gauna while he looks for the recon units, so it should have quite a bit of action. Maybe that's why they dragged stuff out this week, to avoid breaking the action between two episodes? 4/5 |
 |
| Holy sweet jesus, this season is just too good. Didn't expect to see Benisuzume reintroduced like that. BADASS! Tsumugi vs Benisuzume will be awesome. |
 |
| I totally forgot about Benisuzume because of Tsumugi. Next episode will be intense. TanukiKid said: Honestly, I was not expecting the return of Benisuzume. The ending of S1 made it seem certain that we would not be seeing the return of her. This is quite a pleasant- er, unpleasant surprise? Her new form is a thing of nightmares. It's beautiful. Tsumugi's gonna go all DBZ on her ass next week. Can't wait. What? They clearly showed that Benisuzume survived in S1. It was obvious she would come back at some point. |

I despise woke people. |
| ...really though that Izana was gonna die, that was so intense ...Benisuzume is back and she wants to part of Tanikaze Harem LOL |
| So to contuine from what i was saying last week. OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN OOOHHHH SHITTTT This is getting intense. I'm really worried Izana or Tsumugi is gonna die =[ |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Another EPIC episode! Tsugumori MK III is a very tough prototype gardes. (with the help of Kunato, commander was able to grant them permission to TsuguIII & Tsumugi. MKIII is really a tough gardes and the proof of it was crashing at a floating island at a very high without a single scratch. Red Gauna Alert! it's the infamous Benisuzume and wow Tsumugi & Beni are on par in terms of speed and fighting capability. 5/5. |
 |
| The next 2 episodes cover arguably some of the best parts of the entire series, cannot wait!! Epic episode is epic. |
| great episode. The sound team is probably the best ever. Finally it felt like Sidonia again. What bothers me is that there are only 2 episodes left :/ Where is season 3?? |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Now that is what I called a Sidonia no Kishi episode. Holy shit! Benisuzume is back. Things are getting intense. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| oh shit she's back |
 |
| For the placenta of God, finally! This season not nearly enough people died in the emptiness of deep outer space! I can't even remember when the last person died and that's not a good sign! I don't care about third-rate harem romance, give me more of the tragedy that is the struggle of human being! |

| Benizusume + OST gave me chills |

| The animation was A+ this episode. Sound is out of this world, Im always amazed. Benisuzume is back and she is against Tsumugi. The preview of their fight is intense. |
Farabeuf said: Yeah they deserve it, the sound is one the things that makes this anime unique.I'm always repeating this in the Sidonia discussion threads, but whoever is the sound director of Sidonia deserves an award. |
| I hate this anime. I HATE THIS ANIME SO MUCH... Why cliffhanger AGAIN? ughhhhhhhhh Well whatever, it just killing me... Why every episode of this anime seems like 5 minutes? Omg this episode. The shit just got real. THE ANIMATION this episode, AND SOUND (as always), holly molly O.O Both animation director and especially sound director definitely deserves an award I love how this anime manage to maintain all the mystery. Who the hell is that Benisizume? It scared shit out of me when it appeared with THAT ANIMATION and THAT SOUND I really love how they reveal secrets about gauna bit by bit and never let it down. This episode was perfect in almost any aspect, not only action. Well now let's endure another week... |

| Now that's what you call a cliffhanger :3 |
  |
| Superb! This episode is not short on surprises, although in the narrative are being proposed contexts a little obvious at times. However the story is engaging and rushes without one noticing the time. Expected that there should be a third season for this TV series, as we are entering the central part of the story. Benisuzume welcome back, I felt your absence and I was stunned when she appeared in the story. Good screenplay, soundtrack well tuned to the narrative; The start was a little surprising because I thought the last time that Isana was attacked by Gauna he also, instead she is unharmed and manages to land on the planet nine. Too bad not having spent more time in the first phase, it is somewhat skimped on the scene in favor of what he was after, although I recognize the validity of the entry into the scene of Benisuzume. |

| This animation, visuals and dem sound effects *o* |
