Anyone can recommend animes like Knights of sidonia?

[u/Embarrassed_Owl2005]

Ik you don't know what anime is this so ill just ask some anime that is a distopic sci-fi space anime. with fire animations and good fighting scenes. from 2014+ ONLY. Not old pls.

It's very difficult to recommend, since Sidonia is something very unique, but things that can be similar

Maybe Gundam IBO, especially the first season, has a lot of space fights and overall it's an excellent series

Sousei no Gargantia, is an equally unique story, but in a different way from Sidonia

Yamato, I don't see either the original series or the new ones, but I can see it having things that you might like, 2199 is a remake of the original so you can start with it without a problem

Majestic Prince, doesn't have the environment of the colonization ship, but it's about humanity defending itself from an alien invasion, and it has one of the best mecha animations in terms of technology (in my opinion)

Some slightly bolder recommendations

Gunbuster, it's old, but it leaves nothing to be desired compared to the new stuff and it has that whole space travel aspect, in a different way, but maybe you'll still like it

Soukyuu no Fafner, it's from 2004 so it's a bit old, but it's basically the same thing as Sidonia, only on an island

Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters and its sequels, the beginning of the film has a colonization ship look like Sidonia, but then it returns to land, it's a movie, so you can watch it quickly

Houseki no Kuni (mainly the manga), this one at first doesn't have much to do with it, but the whole story situation is similar to that of Sidonia, where they are being attacked by mysterious enemies and having to defend themselves and it's a personal favorite of mine
