>these were the original designs for the sidonia mechs.
Why do I get the impression that Sidonia would have been a lot better if Nihei hadn't neutered it to get an anime adaption?

He wanted money.
He's got a kid old enough to complain why he doesn't draw interesting stories like Attack of Titans.

KoS was obviously his attempt to make a more main stream series. People like to say it only became that but it was harem shit from the start
It is not like he is a particularly good writer anyway, good ideas guy though

Does anyone have that webm of Benisuzume in slow mo getting chased off of one one the clone sluts?
I was about to make a thread, but saw this.
Those designs are pretty neat, but I really don't think I like the chest cavity thing.
Also, I really like the clean distinction between organic and inorganic?
Is the anime going to get a third season?

I got that impression hardcore when I realized that it was a Nihei work with a fucking beach episode, before it was announced to be getting an anime. I just instantly thought, "Oh shit, this is the one that's gonna get animated".

Oh shit, does he really? I hear a lot of manga authors have kids who don't like their work that much. I remember hearing on /a/ that the One Piece guy had a daughter who wasn't a fan of one piece, lol.

Those are just the entrance. It closes up once the pilot is inside.
>>13501317
I meant more from a concept standpoint.
I just don't really dig piloted biomechs/entities so much either.
>>13497597
But Attack on Titan is awful

Which is why Jappos love it.

Good to know at least she has taste.

>if Nihei hadn't neutered
Whhat makes you think he did?
>>13497587
>if Nihei hadn't neutered it to get an anime adaption
Don't you mean if his editor hadn't neutered it so it would sell?
>>13497587
I think it was more him trying to get published.
>>13497644
This really. After years of minimalism, he just probably wanted a steady paycheck.
I will not deny the designs in the op are cooler though.
>>13504126
This sounds most plausible. Probably the only way to get it picked up.
