Trivia / Knights of Sidonia

• Channel Hop: A very unique case. Both seasons of the anime originally streamed as a 'Netflix Original' until January 1, 2021 while the home video rights for them were owned by Sentai Filmworks. Then Funimation announces they've rescued the streaming rights for the anime and will also be releasing the film sequel to boot.
• Development Hell: The first season of the anime was released in 2014, and the second a year later. The third was announced to be in development in 2017, but appeared to go no further. A movie substitute for season 3, Love Woven In The Stars, was announced in 2020 but was rescheduled numerous times thanks to Covid 19.
• No Dub for You: Since Netflix lost the rights of the TV show and then it was transferred to Funimation (and then Crunchyroll), every dub originally produced by Netflix was rescued except the Portuguese one. As of today there's no evidence that another company will ever rescue that dub or at least for Netflix to re-license the series for Brazil only.
• The Other Darrin: The English dub for Love Woven In The Stars has a few cast replacements, though the majority of the dub cast is still retained.
  • Jad Saxton replaces Lindsay Torrance as Yuhata Midorikawa.
  • Amanda Lee replaces Becca Ordonez as Yure Shinatose.
  • Mikaela Krantz replaces Erin Fitzgerald as Mozuku Kunato.
  • Bruce DuBose replaces Michael McConnohie as Hiroki Saito.
• Real-Life Relative:
  • In the Latin American Spanish dub, siblings Arturo and Carla Castañeda voice Nagate Tanikaze and Eiko Yamano, respectively.
  • Also from the Latin American Spanish dub, brothers Emmanuel and Julio Bernal voice Norio Kunato and Ochiai, respectively.
• Schedule Slip: The film sequel Love Woven In The Stars went through several delays thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic until it finally released in Japanese theaters on June 4, 2021.
