Where To Start The Sky Crawlers Light Novel After The Anime?

If you finished the Sky Crawlers movie and wish to continue the story in the novels, you can start at Novel 2, None But Air.

It is important to know that Sky Crawlers is a novel series told in reverse chronology. So Sky Crawlers, the first novel, is actually the last story of the series. The author meant them to be experience this way to accent the endless nature of war one faces when immortal. So you can continue on with the novels still and enjoy the story as it was intended, but each novel is a prequel of the previous.

As for the quality of the adaptation, the movie was very high quality, but it obviously had limited time and made some significant cuts and condensation to the story, but still accented the themes and hit all the main plot points. You would get far more detail reading the novel from the beginning, but its not strictly necessary.

Is The Sky Crawlers Light Novel Over?

Where To Start The Sky Crawlers Manga After The Anime?

While Sky Crawlers has an manga series, The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, the manga is adapting the video game story of the same name, not the movie/novels. While the video game is inspired by the novel series, it is definitely just using the concept to create its own original prequel story.
