When you say it reminds you, do you mean by the premise, or from watching the series? Since you mention it, I can see how the premise could remind you of AoT, though that had never occurred to me before. The execution of the series is nothing like it though. For starters, the MC is not obsessed with revenge and is a sweet, very likeable soul.

If you haven't actually seen any episodes, I'd suggest watching a few and then deciding. It takes some time to get used to the CG characters, but the space battles are extraordinary and to me, the sense of isolation in space has never been done better since 2001: A Space Odyssey.


Yeah, I haven't seen any episodes of it yet.

So, like Gina, I can see where the comparison is made, but if you're deciding on if you want to watch KoS or not based on your opinion on AoT, it's a very different show.


Great! I'll put it on my to watch list, then. Both of yall were really helpful, I appriciate it~!

Agreed, execution of a premise is important. It is also bad when someone says ]"Oh, [show A] is like [show B], and I liked [show B] but it has been 'done'". My question in that case is "just how many times do you intend to watch show B? In any case, it might have been done better the second time.

Hi there everyone, need help identifying something. I've seen pics on Pixiv and am curious of their origins. All the pics have +Mafia The brigade of Knowledge Seekers: Shadow of the Librarian, on them.. I am wondering if these have any connections to a series or just a great artist's pieces. Any info would be helpful

It looks as though it's an individual Chinese artist's submissions for the latest Pixiv Fantasia art event, so it has nothing to do with any specific series.

The one at the 42 second mark looks like it might be from Hotaru no Mori e or Natsume's Book of Friends. Both share the same author so the characters are a bit hard for me to distinguish. I think it's the former since the scene strikes me as something from that.

Hey, does anyone want to do another Tournament over here? I was thinking something music related this time. Best soundtrack? Best opening theme? It'd be pretty cool. Smile

A girl blackmails a guy to be her girlfriend . She has his diary.

Please tell me what anime is this.

I just found out today about a website called Sputnik 7 that streamed anime in the late 90's and early 2000's. It's gone now.

Since i missed out on this site when it was up, can anyone tell me more about it - for example, what titles did it show, what was the video quality, and were its videos free to view?

News about it seems to be obscure or difficult to find unless you deeply search the web for it (meaning going beyond the first page of Google search) Laughing . But I did come across some information.

According to ANN it previewed/streamed Evangelion and its movie, Death & Rebirth.

Also, it teamed up with Manga Entertainment to provide some content (the two links mention Perfect Blue and Blood The Last Vampire).

It has also streamed titles like Giant Robo, Angel Cop, and Violence Jack. Most of these titles were licensed by Manga Entertainment so I assume most of the anime Sputnik7 streamed belong to the former.
