Sidonia no Kishi: Ai Tsumugu Hoshi Review

Overall Rating 6.3 out of 10 - A little upsetting epilogue for Sidonia Saga.

I still recommend watching.

This is a direct sequel for two seasons of Sidonia. Unlike the second season, this one can be watched standalone.

It introduced many new gimmicky looking characters that looked like some Disney or Cartoon Network family friendly exercise. Fortunately show did not focused on them too long and eventually continued the original story. 

The biggest intrigue was what have Ochiai discovered when he learned to understand Gauna. Unfortunately, that will forever be unresolved, as Tanikaze just killed him, and they also destroyed the Gauna's repository of knowledge.

They also learned to how Ochiai's technology behind transferring personality works. However, they only used to make Tsumugi human and did not resurrected Hachijiro. Tanikaze and human Mugi together had an annoying kid. Tsumugi already less reserved and more mischievous compared to Hachijiro and kid went even further that direction. Alas.

On the positive side, art is crispy. Battles are engaging and flashy. Data interface is not as fancy as in Arknights but still decent.

They decided to add some more color to their black, white and grey aesthetics but still refused to add large Hatsune Miku like twin tails or cat eared girls, that is a disappointment.

Overall, they have good tech, but they are not using it to make life better. This show shows why technocracy is retarded and only techno-liberalism or techno-libertarianism is the way to go. Actually Half-Life 2 shows it better.

Anyhow I want a lab grown girl with perfect personality. However, they problem with their government is that they do not do nice things even when they can.

Overall, it's a decent show with some good ideas here and there. I recommend watching.
