Anime-sama: Anime rilis On Spring 2014 Knights of Sidonia

Story

The solar system has been destroyed by Gauna, an extraterrestrial species we could not communicate with. A small portion of humanity, who barely managed to survive, now travels the stars aboard the generation ship Sidonia, a colossal vessel whose hull was carved from an asteroid.
Over a millennia has passed, and the year is now 1009 After Departure. Nagate Tanikaze, a young boy secretly raised in the bottom most layers of the ship, decides to venture into the world above after his grandfather's death. Nagate finds himself assigned to the Pilot Training Academy to operate a GARDE, a giant humanoid, armored suit, and there he gets to know other humans for the first time.
Shizuka Hoshijiro—the first girl Nagate recognizes as a member of the opposite sex. Izana Shinatose—a human neither male nor female who becomes Nagate's first friend. Norio Kunato—another youth who grows irritated with Nagate's achievements.
While these cadets undergo their training together, Nagate and the others receive their first mission. It was never meant to be a difficult one.
Without warning, a Gauna appears before Nagate and the others. When they faced with this threat for the first time in a century, what will humanity, and Nagate, choose?
The battle to determine the survival of humanity begins now.
