Overall Rating 6.4 out of 10 - Good Sequel that has less good but also less bad compared to original.
I recommend watching.
So Mugi from K-On! was an alien after all, I knew it.
It begins with an interesting plot twist that I will not spoil here. Unfortunately, instead of developing Ochiai's plot, it instead shifts towards relationship/love triangle drama between, Tanikaze, Izana and Tsumugi. Occasionally other personalities like Somori or Ren get on it as well.
Trying to turn Sidonia into harem show was not such a great idea. Its drama is more like real life relationship issues then something enjoyable or entertaining.
Out of harem heroines, none can match gentleness, care and kindness of Hochijiro. They fight over him more than trying to be nice to him to get him like them in the first place. Izana is sometimes nice to Tanikaze but too often complains when she does not get the attention she wants. Yuhata and Tsumugi spy on them and giggle like schoolgirls. I can pity Tanikaze. Yuhata or Ren completely lack femininity. When surrounded by girls like that it's no wonder Tanikaze keeps thinking of Hachijiro, that never complained and was always warm and helpful towards him. Why can't girls be more like Hachijiro.
On the other hand, Sidonia crew no longer bullies Tanikaze, that is an improvement over the original.
Ochiai plot has only accidental developments. Authors probably wished to live it to the sequel, but so far, it's not on the cards.
Final battle is rather epic, like in the original, and overall, a great conclusion for the season. That alone can raise the score around half point.
Overall, it is a mostly good show I can recommend.
