The basic concepts of Knights of Sidonia should be interesting; an adapted future humanity on giant ark spaceships fighting aliens with mechs. However, none of these concepts are ever developed into interesting sub plots or lore building info.
- The city of Sidonia is never explored beyond a few bland shots despite being a flying city home to millions.
- Mech fights against aliens are overly dramatised without any detailed or sophisticated drawing of the scenes: throwaway enemys
- characters are extremely cliche', anime girls chase clueless shy mech pilot.
- Neon Genesis if it were boring.
