Based on the manga by Blame! creator Tsutomu Nihei and animated with ambitious CG animation, Knights of Sidonia delivers a tightly-paced space opera. When the Gauna return, Nagate has to put those skills to the test in defence of Sidonia – but this last bastion of the human race is hiding something, and its secretive rulers may not want Nagate to succeed. In the depths of the Sidonia colony, Nagate Tanikaze grew up with only his grandfather for company, training endlessly on a simulator for giant robot Guardians. The show: More than a thousand years into the future, humans live on colony ships after Earth was destroyed by the alien Gauna. With three seasons and a movie to enjoy, it also has enough space to build an intriguing universe without getting bogged down with filler episodes. Why it's worth a watch: A running joke of Melodias being a perv is dated even by anime standards, but it's only a mild distraction from an otherwise fun and visually impressive fantasy-action series. One of Netflix's biggest investments in anime, this adaptation of Nakaba Suzuki's manga features a fun cast with unique abilities, and throws in more than a few twists to the usual fantasy formula. But with the country at stake and no other options, Elizabeth and Melodias (and his talking pig, Hawk, of course) set out to regroup the Seven Deadly Sins and take back their home. Their reputation may not hold up though, especially when the first member she finds is Melodias, a lecherous tavern owner who still looks like a child. Unfortunately, the Holy Knights of Liones have secretly taken over the kingdom, and now Elizabeth is hunting for the only group powerful enough to help her take back the throne – the Seven Deadly Sins, legendary warriors framed and exiled by the Holy Knights years earlier. The show: Elizabeth has a secret – she's really a princess.
