One property I enjoyed a lot this past decade was the
Knights of Sidonia anime as well as the original manga. It’s been pretty idle for awhile as original creator Tsutomu Nihei went on to new projects but we learned last summer that it’s getting a bit of a resurrection. A feature film is coming produced by Polygon Pictures called
Knights of Sidonia: The Star Where Love is Spun. It looks like this is an original story with Nihei supervising that will go in a different direction than the manga.
With a May 14th, 2021 release date ahead of it, the official site has now rolled one of the things I’ve enjoyed seeing happen over the past few years in that they’re now streaming the first four minutes of it. It’s got a lot of gorgeous action material that has me excited to see the project.
The film opens on May 14 in Japan. New cast members include:
Yūma Uchida as Tōtarō Yamano, a Garde pilot with skill to rival veterans, and Eiko s young brother
Yūto Uemura as Kairi Hamagata, a skilled Garde pilot with good marks, but with a tendency to be overconfident
Inori Minase as Iroha Hashine, a serious-minded Garde pilot who has no time for Hamagata s attitude
Miho Okasaki as Itsuki Hanma, a Garde pilot who trains alongside Hamagata and Hashine
The new film will take a different path from the manga, and will feature a brand new story supervised by Nihei. The film will have a returning cast.
Knights of Sidonia (
Sidonia no Kishi) manga, began streaming the first full trailer for the film on Friday. The trailer reveals four new cast members, as well as the film s May 14 opening date.
