The Blame! topic

Blame! is a pretty dark cyberpunk-ish manga about this dude called Killy who has a really OP gun and wanders around in a friggin gigantic city invaded by killer cyborgs n stuff

I’ve heard the manga is great but the anime is pretty bad. Haven’t actually checked any of it out though.

Is this by any chance what inspired that massive amount of cyborg robodude MOCs you’ve been making?

actually no
i started reading this just a few days ago
but yeah my recent stuff is really based off Tsutomu Nihei’s style

Have you also read the series: “Knights of Sidonia” from Tsutomu nihei?
And if you have, is it worth continuing it? I’ve stopped after the first chapter

nah but i probably will

Welp, the unusually clean art style and the mainstreamish kind of storytelling kinda scared me off :confused:
If you happen to read it, you have to tell me if it goes better

So, I started reading blame, and it was very confusing at first, but it’s getting a bit clearer. I like it.

yeah the beginning is a bit hard to understand but it gets less confusing as it goes

Apparently Netflix made a movie for it. I’m about 45 minutes in and it looks like the other anime Netflix originals. Also follows the manga well, but also leaves stuff out.

I need to start reading it again.

so how is the movie exactly? is it bad?

From an adaptation point, I’d say it’s bad. It barely follows the manga in the beginning, adding a lot of extra characters. Later on it only deviates more. So if you’re looking to see a good adaptation of Blame! this isn’t it.

However, it’s still a pretty great movie and has the general concepts of Blame! The animation is good, although at moments it looks strange, and the safeguards, Killy, and Cibo are all recognizable. Also the action is pretty great.

I recommend watching it, but just know it’s not the manga.

Watched a bit of the movie the other weekend, seemed interesting and I’ll hopefully get around to watching the rest. Haven’t read the manga so I don’t know if it’s better or not.

So I started rereading the manga, because I barely remembered any of it. I realized the movie is more accurate than I though, but still isn’t too accurate. It’s based off a section in the manga.

Also, I think there’s more sound effects than words. XD
