Madman Entertainment is pleased to announce the acquisition of highly anticipated sci-fi epic, KNIGHTS OF SIDONIA – a brand new series based on the manga written by Nihei Tsutomu.

Featuring stellar animation by multi-award winning studio Polygon Pictures (TRANSFORMERS PRIME, STAR WARS: CLONE WARS, TRON: UPRISING), KNIGHTS OF SIDONIA takes place 1000 years after an alien race known as the Gauna have laid waste to the solar system. Despite the scale of the destruction, a small portion of the human race managed to survive by boarding an enormous spaceship called Sidonia. Ever since, they have worked endlessly to maintain and defend the remaining population.

Tanikaze Nagate is a young boy who has recently been accepted into a school for Guardian pilot trainees, where he also makes his first interactions with people other than his grandfather. During their first assignment, Nagate and his friends encounter a Gauna for the first time in a hundred years. This is where the battle for humanity's survival starts.
