King Records has released a 1-minute streaming clip of the anime Knights of Sidonia. The work by author Tsutomu Nihei mixes space battles with robots fighting aliens. The video reveals that the series will have 12 episodes and is scheduled to premiere on the "Animeism" programming block on MBS in April.
The anime marks the 30th anniversary of POLYGON PICTURES, a studio that has won Daytime Emmy Awards (Transformers Prime, Star Wars: The Clone Wars) and an Annie Award (Tron: Uprising).
The original manga story takes place after humans flee Earth due to an invasion by alien creatures, the Gaunas. Humans travel through space in giant ships, while the Gauna continue to pursue them. As a new human culture develops, people fight against the Gaunas with Morito (Guardian), a robotic mecha. A young man named Nagate Tanikaze trains as a pilot aboard the ship to defend what remains of humanity.
