Knights of Sidonia (Sidonia no Kishi) is a manga series from Tsutomu Nihei. The series debuted in April 2009 in Kodansha’s Afternoon magazine. To date there has been 12 volumes released. An anime adaptation of the series was produced in April this year, and is currently still airing. The anime is produced by Polygon Pictures, in their first full TV anime production.

Here is a synopsis of Knights of Sidonia from MAL:
It’s been a thousand years since the Gauna, a strange alien race with no known method of communication, destroyed the solar system. A portion of humanity managed to escape using enormous “seed ships” like the Sidonia, which have allowed them to maintain the population while drifting through space. Nagate Tanikaze is a young man who has been raised deep in the bowels of the ship. When he goes into training to pilot the huge robotic weapons known as Gardes, Nagate is entrusted with piloting the legendary unit known as Tsugumori. Nagate and his fellow pilots put their lives on the line against the Gauna, in the ultimate battle for the survival of humanity!
The second season of the Knights of Sidonia anime is currently unconfirmed. We will update you if an official confirmation is made from Polygon Pictures, or at the end of the first season’s finale.
