May. 8th, 2015 11:36 am And another thought on life on the Sidonia, the ecosystem. If my memory is serving me well, the only land animals they've show are a cat (companionship or are there mice on board?) and a stag beetle. Despite lots of open air, no birds, which in a controlled environment with artificial air and weather, I can see why you'd not want animals that can muck up the works. They'd still need pollinators, thus insects, but with humans do to the planting, I can see why birds were left out.
No dogs, and while one character looks like a bear, that is apparently an life support suit. I don't know, they've haven't explained farther. Corned beef is mentioned as food, but Im tempted to say that is artificially created since even real seaweed wraps are an amazing thing. I can't see them wasting the space or resources to feed cows, unless it was to use as fertilizer as well as food?
There are genetically engineered bed bugs that are the size of small dogs, which reportedly were for hunting and a food supplement? Being insects, they promptly go lost in the pipe works. This is from the manga but may still show up in the anime's future.
There are a wide variety of aquatic life, mostly marine, in the water section of the ship. And now I am half remembering sea birds in the water area of the ship. I'll need to reread though spots. ETA: And nope, no birds. This could easily be artist oversight, but I think I'll go with an ecosystem with limited fauna.
All this adds up to animals being a strange thing for Izana I think.
