Goddammit.

the Sidonia bit looked pretty cool. Hopefully it will be like that at least.

>>144430072
I liked Polygon's Sidonia. Looking forward to this.

>>144430651
Sidonia look OK because it has a story to tell, but the core of BLAME is not the story.

>>144430787
That's a pretty good point, actually.

>>144430787
The architecture will probably be better in CG than 2D, especially since it'd probably be done in CG anyway by the 2D studio.

>>144430072
Hopefully Polygon does something about their stiff character animation. Sidonia was tolerable due to the mecha action, but the character animation was crap.

This is one of those anime that's pretty much objectively better with CG than 2D, there's so much detail and grit 2D just can't do consistently.

>>144430072

Why is this getting a movie? It was fucking awful.

the environment (aka the most important part of the visuals besides the grotesque tech) was always gonna be cgi so who cares


i just hope the film budget means it runs above 12fps and has okay animation quality

there better be a cibo figure after this goddamn fuck

>>144430996
I can't say that for sure. You see their faces and clothes? Just too clean.
Maybe CG is limited to add enough details.

>>144431128

Looks fine here.

>>144430996
I disagree, Blame! Would look amazing if it were animated in the eighties

what if the movies 2 hours of standing in the elevator

>Blame!

And they still can't spell it right.

>>144431241
There's too many different areas and characters for it to be animated in the 80s, they wouldn't be able to reuse animation at all.

>>144430072
What if they adapt Dorohedoro in CGshit too?

Blame! might be the only manga where a CG adaptation is fine. If you've seen the preview, it looks just fine, CG works for this style.

That said some things, like pic related, I just can't see working with CG. Then again who knows how far this goes, I doubt it will cover the entire manga.

Yeah, I realized that a bit after I posted, heh.
I really need to re-read this, got my timeline of events out of order.
Actually is Cibo's body in the key visual there the one she assimilated from Sanakan? Or was that later?
It's been years.

As a side note, the Blame wiki (not the wikia) seems to have disappeared.

Inuyashiki is by the guy that did Gantz, Hiroya Oka, I think, not Blame, which is by Tsutomu Nihei

>>144432033
>Actually is Cibo's body in the key visual there the one she assimilated from Sanakan?
yeah it happens when they're entering toha heavy industries with the fishermen

Blame! was so fucking confusing. It's the weirdest thing I've ever read since dorohedoro.

I really need to reread it slowly.

Polygon still releases the same 12fps garbage that all other CG studios in japan do. What's even the fucking point of doing things in cg if you're gonna release that choppy garbage?

Well the trailer they showed in Sidonia looked pretty damn fantastic. The massive structures and scenery actually looked great in CGI and would've probably not looked much better if entirely hand-drawn, this isn't a Ghibli-budget film.
I'm only somewhat worried about the more detailed parts like >>144431963 but then again Sidonia also nailed those.

I'm pretty confident they can do this. It most likely won't be as good as the manga but I'm expecting it to be good.

>>144433194
since this will be a movie, the framerate might be slightly better.

>>144433194
The previous Blame adaptation which were some net ovas were also done in janky 3D.

I'm beginning to think Nihei just likes the idea of 3D animation since his background was in architecture and the like, so having structures properly represented is important.

>>144433258

Anyone care to explain what the background kanji are about?

>>144433297
I have seen that, though.
The net ovas were something ancient like early-mid 2000s iirc. It's been a while and I don't clearly remembere what even happened in them.

Janky more referred to some of the animations that felt kinda stiff at times but otherwise it was alright, I suppose.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07iWAfjgqaw

In the teaser from Sidonia, Killy's walk cycle looked a bit off at the 0:34 mark, might have been the angle.

Will anyone here stop watching anime altogether when Japs fully shift to choppy, low framerate CG? It's clearly the future they've chosen.

>>144433502
It means that at the very minimum, character design won't be garbage.
That you can probably expect something on the level of the teaser in the Sidonia BDs.

>>144433513
Sidonia had great sound effects, which is fairly bizzare since its from same sound director.

>>144430072
>beloved seinen series (Berserk, Blame, Sidonia, Ajin) are getting CG anime while generic shounen/self-insert LN series get the normal 2D anime adaptations
Why

>>144433422
>>144433352
Being better than Berserk isn't an achievement. If it doesn't look half as good as a traditional adaptation done by Bones, Madhouse, I.G, or whoever, don't adapt anything at all.

>>144433619
There's an intense irony in this post, because SHAFT produces almost entirely "CG", because they use 3D models as a base, and then digitally paint over them. They have been since at least before 2006.
I don't think they even use traditional mediums anymore.

>>144433215
You know they could render it at any framerate they want, right? They do it as it is at the moment because that's the framerate they would do 2D animation at. Higher framerate won't make it look as smooth as 2D, There is a way to do it but I forget what it is. I think it involves changing the models a bit for every movement or something and takes a lot more effort so they just don't do it.

>>144433675
You clearly skipped a few words when ready my post.

Biomega when?

>>144433627
It shows 4 characters in a still frame, two of which are wearing virtually identical attire. How does that show us anything meaningful about character design or animation expectations?

>>144433713
Reading, even. I guess that's what I get for being a stupid phone poster.

>>144433713
There is exactly one Japanese animation that is fluid animation above 24FPS, and I can't even remember the name of it.

>>144433758
You do know there's a difference in how CG and traditional animation looks at lower framerates, right?

I love blame but this is probably going to be terrible, just like the anime. A good Blame adaptation, able to reproduce the feeling the manga gives, is really hard to animate. Just imagine 10 minutes of complete silence with nothing on the screen but Killy walking through corridors, or having the megasphere exploring segments completely skipped to get to the action earlier.

>>144431820
They look good, better than sidonia or nurserk's models.

>>144433748
>How does that show us anything meaningful about character design or animation expectations?
Do you know anything about 3D animation?
You probably don't.

In 3D design, once you make a character, you are done. You will never make changes to it, unless in a rare situation. This rare situation includes "A graphics update to a game after six years or so", and "A new season of anime (Sidonia season 2)"

>>144433792
Yeah. CG always looks crappy when animated by crappy animators, no matter what the framerate. What's your point? People on /3/ said that Berserk had "pretty good still shots" and "shitty motion" based on the PVs.

>>144433837
>What's your point?
That CG at normal anime framerates - like Japs keep putting out - look like shit. How did you manage to miss that when it was the entire point of my first post?

>>144433886
I'm fine with Blame being CG as I dont think it could work as 2d without a stupidly huge budget but this guy is correct, the framerate is just stupid.

>>144433837
You missed the point of my first question, and didn't comment on animation expectations.

Someone allowed Nihei to write and publish pic related. Someone signed off on this year's Berserk. Do not maintain any positive expectations about something that they won't show us yet.

>>144433886
Because you're being fucking stupid and you can't articulate why it looks like shit.
I'll fucking tell you why it looks like shit.
Because Japanese animators are too stupid to use Motion Capture studios. They're stupid enough to try to animate exclusively with Maya's Graph Editor. You try to make a walk cycle with your human understanding of how a walk cycle works. You fuck up because humans have a flawed understanding of the minute details that occur in a gait.
Errors becomes intensely obvious as the CG gets closer to photorealistic.

Whereas traditional animation is on training wheels because the mind doesn't give a shit about a caricature of the human body.

>>144433969
Reread my first post you blithering retard.

>>144433969
then why does dark souls 2 have worse animations than the other games when it was the only one that used motion capture

>>144433959
I didn't comment on animation expectations because there's literally nothing to expect other than "The teaser proves that they have the ability to produce something of this level"
So logical recourse is that "They will probably produce something of this level"

>complaining about the end
I'm not sure if you're complaining about the page in particular, because that's literally been foreshadowed since the first chapter, or if you're complaining about "shipping", which is dumb because Nihei doesn't give a shit about shipping.

>>144433999
>MUH FRAMERATES
>THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
Framerates have nothing to do with it, you retard.
Smooth motion can be achieved by just incorporating motion blur. American movie studios still output at 24FPS.

>>144434077
I was referring to Nihei's new, cancerous art style; as well as Sidonia's impossibly poor story and pacing and existence.

>>144434077
>Framerates have nothing to do with it
Aside from being factually wrong, you're still proving to have zero reading comprehension. You're creating arguments out of nowhere out of things I never stated in my original post.
I get that you want to share the amateur knowledge you've picked up after browsing the 3D board for a few months, but you're not going about it in the best way.

>>144434106
Editors were probably more than happy to learn that Nihei decided to write something mainstream for once in his life.

>>144434117
You prove to have zero writing capability. All you've been saying is that "THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CG AND TRADITIONAL ART" without stating what that difference is.

Look at >>144437846
Look at how fucking perfect and cute Yuhata was.
Now remember the last chapter.

bullshit

>>144437935
Who is this guy on the left?

>>144438094
Prove him wrong then

>>144438536
The director

>>144430072
So 90 minutes of speechless walking through glorified archetectual porn, followed by 20 minutes of GBE vaporizing Silicon Lifeforms and Safeguards, and the rest is Cibo/Sanakan/P-Cell doing cute Cibo/Sanakan/P-Cell things?

>>144438869
Original story

>>144439022
And that changes my prediction how exactly?

>>144439084
more dialogues, more interactions

They mentioned that Nihei is writing "original script". But it seems they retracted that statement. In the end it seems like the movie'll feature characters and events from the manga but the plot will be restructured to better fit the movie. By guess I would say it'll cover events beginning in 3rd volume probably ending somewhere in seventh volume.

>>144439103
Then that's not a Blame! movie anymore.

>With the staff of the visionary Knights of Sidonia reunited and the executive supervision of story creator Tsutomu Nihei, BLAME! is ready to shock the world once again with an all-new story!
From the official website:
>once again with an all-new story!

>>144433143
>Nihei drawn it in 2d
>It's the only way to adapt Blame you idiot
is this bait

I don't think it's gonna look that good, you can say Sidonia looked good but it was pretty goofy.

>>144433422
>that frame rate
and Ajin animu is shit though
not one the same level as SIdonia season 2, but it is shit

>>144439468
Sidonia S2 episode 10 to 12 were amazing.

>>144439500
it was amazing compare to all the waifu and SOL bullshit in the previous ep
and the last ep is a disaster

>>144431312
pls no

>>144439398
Unless you want every animator and background artist to shoot themselves in the head.

Hopefully, Nihei will bring a trailer with him at SDCC.

I get that Nihei's stuff looks better in CG because ARCHITECTURE but jesus christ can't he pick a studio that doesn't suck? Sidonia was barely watchable.
But then again, I haven't seen an actual good CG studio in Japan outside of big budget theater movies.

>>144440597
Polygon now seems to be one of the best for anime-budget CG studios.

>>144440300
trigger could shoot themselves in head to adapt Blame

They should leave some things as they are
Fuck Japan to be honest

>>144440813
It would look QUALITY for the half of it. Nah.

>>144430072
>CG
Why won't it look as good as Gantz:O?

Blame is better than Berserk.

>>144441081
I agree

Nihei is GOAT and Sidonea was a blast to watch with /a/ so I'll still look put for it.

>>144440950
inferno cop style is perfect for character like Killy

he doesn't talk much

>>144433194
Polygon is great really liked what they did with sidonia season 1.

Hang on, is the title actually meant to be BLAM!?

>>144441615
It was supposed to be BLAM!, the sound that his weapon makes, but for some reason I don't remember it got translated to BLAME!

>>144433726
>Blame cosplay

That's Gantz you inbred cretin
