Blame!

>>157428205
How shitty was the CG?

>>157428205
I've yet to watch it, does it have enough sequences of Killy navigating giant architectural landscapes with no sound other than footsteps and distant industrial noise?

>>157428372

Well it's not Berserk, but it's no Gantz.

It wasn't.

>>157428554
That's a bit misleading considering it's a movie with a bigger budget. It looks a lot better than Sidonia.

>>157428205
Cibo needed to have been introduced earlier

>>157428372
It wasn't so bad. If you were able to watch Sidonia, then you'll be fine.

>>157428394
I don't think it has *one* scene like that.

>>157428660
That's disappointing, but not unexpected. Oh well thanks for the heads up.

Love it, although I hate 3DCGI, the story itself is enough to pull it through.

>>157428469
Why are characters named Tae always shit? That bitch was worthless.

>>157428205
It wasn't what I wanted, but I knew it wasn't going to be that. That said, it was better than I expected it to be.

>>157428394
No. They went for a more standard anime approach. It doesn't have the same feel of the manga, as far as isolation and surreal dark mood. The action was ok, but pretty tame by Blame standards.

I had no emotional investment in Sidonia though and went in with low expectations. Blame holds an exalted position in my personal pantheon of cherished manga and I feel I'll go to almost any length to avoid seeing it defiled like Berserk has been time and time again. My heart just can't keep taking this.

>>157428372
I don't think all CG is bad. There are just very few examples of good CG unfortunately. Blame! is one of those good examples

>>157429410

>>157431179
i'm not sure if you noticed, but the anime isn't starting where the manga did. in such a case they are altering the presentation of killy, and shifting it to bit players so that there will be a more relatable/emotional connection to the world. rather than being good or bad, the characters are necessary.

>>157428205
was it really good?

The visual quality could use some work, though. Hopefully the BDs give it to us in real HD. Also her hair's clipping with the gun here.

Compared to the fisherman Killy was pretty tall. And Cibo practically a giantess.

Are people actually mad that the movie isn't 99 minutes of Killy walking across an empty plate with 2 minutes of him shooting something once and then a 5 minutes sequence of him walking out of the dust into an elevator to go to the next level of walking?

>>157431938
Still a little bummed how they didn't use the kinda Native American aesthetic for them in the movie. But hey, gotta sell figures somehow.

Does it stutter a lot because of the CG animation or is it just my video playback?

>>157431980
Samurai armor-styled gear was a pretty nice touch I thought, and I don't even remember if it was like that in the mango.

>>157431964
Yes.

>>157431932
The manga doesn't have those things which you mentioned. Yet, the manga is enjoyable. You don't enjoy the entire manga in one sitting, but you still enjoy each sitting. You don't need a 'connection' to the world; that's a negative rather than a neutral. That extraneous characters are not necessary is proven by the existence of the manga.

>>157431964
Yes.

>>157432028
It was a little choppy in some scenes, but it's rendered in 24 fps. I noticed they used high shutter speed simulation (aka no motion blur) in some places, so it must have been intentional.

Besides that it was silky-smooth playing in the Netflix client on my 4k display. :^)

Why? Most of the chapters where it's just walking you'll finish in a minute or two. I doubt anyone spent thirty minutes reading one chapter, but having 30 minutes in a film where Killy does nothing but silently walk across a desolate expanse would be boring as shit at best.

That kind of shit only works in 15 to 25 minute short films.

>>157431964
Fucking yes, add Steven Wilson for the sound direction and you have me cumming buckets.

True, I did like how most of them had their own hair style. The moment of silence, makeshift instruments, and gathering around the fire being an "ancient tradition" were also nice touches.

So I can drown in the city's atmosphere.

>>157432070
that works in a manga, it doesn't work in an anime, especially where they begin in the middle. you're not going to like the anime, i get it, but this is the introduction and this is how they are approaching it.

For you. Not for everyone. People who want and wanted a true adaptation of Blame want that. It's not about it possessing mass appeal or selling well; it's about being a proper adaptation of the work. Would you call DEEN's Fate/Stay Night a good adaptation of FSN because it condenses the material for a wider audience?

>>157432393
The old OVAs exist. They were very shortform, atmospheric and worked really well.

The movie did its own thing with adaptijg a well known arc into a movie, yes it has wider appeal, but it wasnt really doing anything the manga didnt already do

Besides that the movie had a really good balance between the atmosphere and action, so I dont see the issue

>>157432393
>People who want and wanted a true adaptation of Blame want that.
You seem to be forgetting that action also was quite a large component of the original manga.
You walking sim fags always forget.
Naissance is shit by the way.

>>157432393
>There is this movie. That is it. This is it. Any other rumors are lies.
and you want it to be filled with what? killy walking through an industrial m c escher painting? what the are you expecting?

>>157432450
>They were very shortform, atmospheric and worked really well.
They work well when you just open up its soundtrack and put the actual comic on slideshow.
No difference in animation quality and you get loads more content.
Also you don't have to deal with the colors trying their best to give you a fucking migraine.

>>157432393
So the people who want a "proper" adaptation have no idea how relative time works in media and you're disguising your idiocy by saying "but the masses" as an excuse.

Even the most desolate "walking the earth" western avant garde film didn't do what you're suggesting because it's a horrific idea for a film where the viewer can't control the speed they consume the product.

It works in books and comics because you have control of how much time passes per page.

>>157432373
they can
but apparently japs prefer this, so they intentionally make it shitty

>>157432483
I dunno, I liked what it did.

It also adapted my favorite arc which probably wont happen again, so it has a special place for me.

And that's fun when you're reading the comic, but if you're making an animation, you should be making proper use of the medium.
There's little to no difference between watching nice bits of architecture with people slowly moving through them and looking at that same visual in a manga.

If you want nice atmosphere and architecture, feel free to put on some music/white noise and reread the original manga or take a step into /w/.

Either it exists or it does not exist. Pick one.

I funished manga recently and I read Blame2, but I still don't get some things. Was a child born after all? Was it a boy or girl? Why Killy didn't have a child in Blame 2?

>>157432866
They werent really anywhere near it, but then again I guess they decided to streamline the lore just to get the point across.

It was clear the tone of the movie was more towards "humanity persists in terrible conditions", so to introduce the concept of this giant, impenetrable, infinite structure that humans are at the mercy of would've been kind of a downer. Clearly they just wanted to go with "world gone mad with waifus", they didn't really explore the toll this awful world had actually taken on humanity.

Fuck they totally missed the point. It was cool to see the characters but they totally fucked up the entire tone and even the aesthetic.

the fuck are you talking about, thats literally what they did

>>157432944
It is called "The City". The megastructure is the impenetrable adamantium walls between levels. That's why the Gravity Beam Emitter is so important, it's what allows Killy to actually move between levels.

>>157432814
Just saying, bud.
If you're going to adapt something and spend all that money you sure as shit better make sure it offers something new to the experience of the original.
Lots of walking and scenery doesn't do that.

>>157433002
Megastructure is the barrier between levels. They totally glossed over the whole "no one can ever leave their level without a GBE" part. That adds an extra level of powerlessness to the situation.

>>157433040
It was bad enough they could hardly move outside their own village without getting fucked, the fact of the megastructure is more of a superfluous detail than anything. Totally irrelevant to the immediate situation.

You know, I always thought it was the other way around, the city was a reference to the habitable levels and that the mega structure was a name for the entire structure everything included, but it looks like I was wrong.

>>157433074
Yeah but it's a tone affecting detail that they probably purposefully chose to omit. They omitted a lot of details like that and the collective result was a tone completely different from the manga.

>>157433078
Let them eat cake.

It didn't really affect anything. You got the point that the world was dangerous and the people were largely ignorant of how their technology worked, at the very end its clearly implied they couldn't have left without great danger due to not knowing how to use the elevator. It's all implied.

Just saying out of nowhere "oh by the way megastructure is this huge blablalba" when it's totally irrelevant to the situation at hand is just ridiculous and does nothing for the story. They already kinda overdid the exposition as it was.

>>157433124
That picture isn't honest to the series, either. As I recall, it was part of some guy's architecture project for college or something.

The City isn't a ball; it doesn't have a nameable shape. It's randomly built, after all. It's hyper-dense in some places and not really outwardly-expansive; it's super-empty and stretches all the way to the Oort cloud in others.

>>157433108
>Then it's not a proper adaptation.
Yes it is. There must always be interpretation when you're going from one medium to another. Nihei didn't draw in a soundtrack for instance. You always have to fudge events or make up the details to some extent, because the original work never gives you everything you need to make something decent.

A strict minute by minute interpretation of Blame! for animation wouldn't be enjoyable, because it's too reliant on manga as a medium. Just like Thomas Pynchon doesn't write books that translate well into movies (look at that shitshow inherent vice), Nihei doesn't draw manga which translates well to anime.
So you have to take some creative liberties.

If they make Blame! anime, when are we getting Dorohedoro anime?

Glad I'm going through the movie again for screenshots and funsies. Get to see little details like this that I missed before.

Someone asked wy Killy didn't just shoot Sana-Kan here, but you can see pixelated "humans here" bits on his interface, and they're the same as Sana-Kan's scanner interface. That upward-angled shot would've killed several Fishers.

That doesn't mean you have to change the whole aesthetic and characterization of the MC though. The OVA's proved it was possible to capture the aesthetic and tone in moving images, so why not just add some details in and change the story structure to be more narratively coherent? Even the architecture of the city was divergent from the manga.

The only scene that really gave me Blame! vibes was when the fishermen come across the Builder and the sheer scale of it is actually made clear. That's really what was missing, the whole "being dwarfed by the vastness of the City" thing. The City didn't really feel endless, it just seemed like a giant facility or ship.

The city dosent even have a goddamn structure, its whatever the fuck the builders draw at random. Do you even know what you're talking about? Hell half of the scenes are drawn directly from the manga.

You're comparing abstract and stream-of-consciousness prose to physical images. That's a false equivalence.

The only good thing to come out of the OVA was the soundtrack.
The rest was literally ripped right out of the manga.
For me it killed the atmosphere by dictating the terms by which I went through that content.
Their color use genuinely made me feel nauseous.

>>157433383
>You're comparing abstract and stream-of-consciousness prose to physical images.
I'm not comparing the two works.
It's another example of a work which would need a hell of a lot of work from the director to make a proper movie.
And hell, the first 15 minutes or so of Inherent Vice I was really feeling it.
Nice set up nice music, and then it's just shot reverse shot for another hour and thirty minutes or so.

An actual Blame anime would just be Samurai Jack with more atmospheric tracks.

Sanakan so cute.

>>157433271
>>157433342
Then, that may be a reimagining on Nihei's part. It really does say that The City isn't a sphere, in the artbook - which was made far earlier. Guess he can keep hacking away at his highest-reputed work if he wants; not like anyone seriously values his input anymore.

"big" isn't an aesthetic. Do *you* know what you're talking about? There were different areas in the manga but Nihei has a clearly defined aesthetic that the different areas follow the same way H.R. Giger has a defined aesthetic even if he's drawing vastly different objects. The Netflix movie didn't capture it at all.

Probably, but Nihei's done stupid shit like this before; if it's not part of the manga itself or the notes, I'm not wont to trust it. You know he lies in interviews, after all. At any rate - that's why I said it wasn't confirmed.

She was, but that doesn't mean or imply that Musubi is Sanakan. It would also mean that the vol 10 Sanakan form is Musubi's original form, which is not something that I would want to argue for or against.

You're forgetting that Nihei openly admits that he wasn't good at faces back then. Any similarities between the faces of this off-focus poster board and the faces of the mains are likely coincidental. The only factor which is definitively reminiscent of Killy is the spiked hair - which, again, is a common trait.

Female humans have the sex chromosomes XX, to be male you need to have one Y and one X chromosome, therefore if they took the DNA from females, if it was simple chromosome matching the resulting creature would have to be female as well.

they obviously do it on purpose. Scenes like Cibo in the netsphere were at 24 FPS.

They try to recreate the look of hand-drawn animation, it just doesnt work the majority of time.

I guess there is just too much movement in the characters, it looks weird if every frame is completely unique. In scenes where there are subtle movements or in closeups it works a lot better.
They will either learn how to do it right or stop doing it altogether some time in the future.

Do people there get bothered by vidya CG or what? I'm pretty sure CGs in Final Fantasy (even older ones) doesn't have that kind of artificially low framerate. Maybe it's just a matter of talent. Like, when you make it smooth, it will get apparent which ones are good at making CG animations and which one are not. Yet, I'm pretty sure Polygon isn't that bad though.

Nope, but I'll definitely consider BLAME!-ing him if this keeps up.

>>157436068

>>157428205

>>157428205

>>157436068

>>157436068
>He wouldn't.

Yee

>>157431964

>>157436140
No.

Not alone, no. Its an entire group that does it. So theres still plenty of atmosphere and environment porn to be had.

It was a solid 8/10, and I've collected the mangas since they first came out.

Only really negative things about the movie:

No Silicon Creatures, since the movie's story is books 3-4 with some mixed in 1st and 9th book elements.

Music was a mixed bag. Sometimes great tech-ambient, sometimes dramatic Hollywood-music that doesn't really fit the atmosphere.

And thats pretty much it. Killy vs Sanakan was a brief but awesome fight.

Just finished it, it was good but I would like to see a sequel.

Also the CGI was good. But the animation itself was a little stuttery in motion, it created a minor dissonance.

Make a webm of an action scene. I wanna see the animation at it's best

It was ok. The limited fps sucks dicks, but the backgrounds and atmosphere are great.

Berserk OVA-tier
Movie was fucking boring.

Personally i loved the aesthetics of it, the CG itself looked good but the character designs were trash.
It was fun

I thought it was great that his first instinct was to bash her head against a rock.

>>157434609
This is next gen oppai

>>157436501
I can't tell if it's the animation or frame skipping but that head slam feels like it has only a tiny bit of power behind it.

Anyone else noticed that one of the main themes is a total ripoff of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqJkdsqeDxw

?

I can't watch this garbage, it looks like a fucking video game cutscene.

Fuck 3DCG so damn hard.

>>157436729
No.

>>157428205
Can I watch it standalone? Or do I need to have previously watched the ovas or read the manga to get what's going on?

>>157436835
leave son
>pls leave

>>157436835
1. Yes.
2. No.

Watch the manga.

You CG crybabies are so obnoxious.

>>157436813

>>157436925
This is literally the only shot from manga where Killy look handsome.
