Synopsis:

Centuries after Earth's destruction, humanity survives aboard colossal seed ships scattered across the galaxy, constantly pursued by the relentless Gauna. The series centers on Nagate Tanikaze, a young man who has spent his entire life hidden within the depths of the Sidonia seed ship, unaware of the world above. His solitary existence is shattered when the Gauna launch a devastating attack.

Forced into action, Tanikaze joins the defense of Sidonia alongside a group of skilled soldiers and close companions. The narrative explores themes of isolation, self-discovery, and the unexpected burden of responsibility as Tanikaze confronts both external threats and the hidden history of his ship. The anime presents a suspenseful atmosphere of survival against overwhelming odds, interwoven with moments of camaraderie and poignant reflection on humanity's future in the vastness of space.
