Sentai Filmworks Showcases ‘Knights of Sidonia’ Anime Collectors Edition

Chris Beveridge Posted by



Sentai Filmworks has a big release coming up on June 9th, 2015 with the first season of Knights of Sidonia. Ahead of that release, they’ve now put out a 90 second video that showcases some of what comes with the set since it’s getting a regular DVD edition, a regular Blu-ray edition and a collector’s edition box set. The editions will be priced at $59.98, $69.98 and $99.98 respectively. The show also gets to go a bit further as it contains English, Spanish and Japanese language tracks as well as English, Spanish and French subtitles, since all of it was necessary for Netflix to reach as wide an audience with its territories as it could with it.

Check out the piece below to see it all unfold and some of the differences in the angles. Extras include the Alternate Angle Version – Uncensored, Behind the Scenes Parts 1-2, Press Conference, Advanced Screening, Sounds of Sidonia, Clean Opening Animation, Clean Closing Animation. The pack-ins for the limited edition includes a poster, a sticker, 15 postcards, and a foil postcard and more.

Plot concept: A thousand years after the alien Gauna destroyed the Earth, a small remnant of humanity still fights on to survive, fleeing on the gargantuan asteroid-based spaceship Sidonia. But centuries of flight and warfare have changed mankind in incredible ways: Genetic engineering has allowed humans to photosynthesize like plants, reproduction occurs through cloning, and a third gender has been created to balance the population. And, even though it’s been a century since the last encounter with the Gauna, military service is mandatory, with all those able enough enlisted to pilot the Garde robots that stand as Sidonia’s front line of defense. For Nagate Tanikaze, whose grandfather secretly hid him in the forgotten bowels of the asteroid, it’s a strange new world as he’s forced to come to the surface and join the ranks of defenders. Yet his recruitment comes just in time, for the Gauna have suddenly reappeared, and what could be man’s last battle will require every resource humanity has left. And what no one knows, yet, is that Nagate is not exactly what he seems, and a secret buried in his past may change the fate of all mankind in KNIGHTS OF SIDONIA!
