Just found out about this...
Why not Blame! or Abara getting animu adaptation?
I know how you feel
Would have been immensely happy to have Blame! or Biomega get an adaption but we will just have to make due with Sidonia.
I feel Sidonia was picked for adaption due to having a bit more substance and just looking more aesthetically pleasing versus his other works. More viewer friendly imo, especially to those not used this medium of storytelling/entertainment/etc.
It is also revolved around mechs which helps give some sort of familiarity to viewers.
At this point, it looks more like a gateway show that HOPEFULLY allows other similar works to be adapted in the future.
Nothing would bring me more pleasure than seeing Jiro Matsumoto's Freesia, Maoki Yamamoto's Believers, Zakuto Okada's Sundome get adapted. Hell even manga by Inio Asano seems far fetched at this point but who knows (Oyasumi Punpun seems to get really favorable reviews among manga readers).
Back on topic though, it is definitely worth watching still if you enjoy Nihei's environmental art. Just pray for a bigger budget if it gets another season.
It looks to be Polygon Pictures first MAJOR project in making a cgi series so just need to hope they get better or someone else picks it up.
God knows how happy I would be if the people from Tohei animations that worked on the Captain Harlock movie got a shot at Sidonia no Kishi or anything my Nihei for that matter.
