Knights of Sidonia: Love Woven in the Stars is now showing in theaters in the United States and Canada.
Knights of Sidonia: Love Woven in the Stars is a direct sequel to the second season of the anime inspired by Tsutomu Nihei's sci-fi epic in feature film form. It's been six years since the anime concluded, but Love Woven in the Stars is content to pick right back up where the story left off. The result is no less than a visually dazzling spectacle that valiantly works to adapt Nihei's unique style. Unfortunately, it's also a rushed, somewhat messy conclusion to a series that falters when trying to offer a neat wrap-up for such a complex narrative. However, what's here is still very much worth watching and enjoyable in its own right.
With the length of time that's passed between the anime series' end and the film's release, it's understandable that even hardcore fans may have difficulty getting back up to speed. Fortunately, there's an attempt to ensure viewers are caught up before the movie unleashes its story at a breakneck pace, recklessly rocketing to the stars.

It can all feel very much like a rushed sprint to the finish as we’re constantly inundated with story developments, especially when a plan is devised to take out the Gauna and the movie careens toward a resolution. Thankfully, there’s one area that does slow things down a bit to let relationships percolate. Though the central narrative is focused on mankind's battle with the Gauna, love still remains an integral part of the story, as romance blossoms between Nagate and the Gauna hybrid Tsumugi Shiraui (Stephanie Sheh).
The budding closeness between Nagate and Tsumugi is absolutely adorable, and despite Tsumugi's size, outward appearance, and history, their relationship seems like that of any "normal" one. Tsumugi is impossibly sweet, Nagate protects her from harm, and perhaps the greatest part of all this is the fact that they can be together without anything trivial like looks or even heritage affecting their feelings for each other. Tsumugi’s infectious energy is such that it’s the perfect counterbalance for Nagate, who’d do just about anything to protect his love, even before we see any sort of confessions from the two. Their interactions are the high points of the movie, elevating it from what can easily devolve into a series of battles loosely connected by expository dialogue into a conclusion with real, true heart. This relationship is an important rumination on humanity and what it means to love -- even in the midst of something horrible.
Love still remains an integral part of the story.
