Does Knights of Sidonia have anything to do with the Muse song by a similar name?

How much of the manga does the Knights of Sidonia anime cover?

I see there are many more chapters/volumes of Knights of Sidonia than there are episodes. If I were to want to get onto the manga after the anime series finishes, where would I start and are they directly correlated?

Why was the framerate so low in the first episode of Sidonia?

I only watched the first episode of Knights of Sidonia, and the main reason I dropped it was that the CG ran at an unbearably low framerate. I just took another look at it, and it looks like most of it past the opening sequence was "on threes". I…

Numbers frequently have cultural meaning, which can include superstition and foreshadowing. Anime shows, being Asian-derived (Japanese, right), likely have more local meaning. China represents just one example of cultural number meanins (ref: wiki,…

What is Tsumugi's gender?

What is Tsumugi's gender? I know that she is created from Hoshijiro's placenta and shares the same seiyuu, but does that also means that they are of the same gender? Was there any evidence that shows that Tsumugi is a female? I know that Nagate is…
