They need to add characters to show emotions and dialogue for people who are not familiar with the manga.
They need that to draw in those people.

They won't understand the charm of reading thru a silent Killy walking thru mega structures, alone, fighting off cyborgs.

Yeah, it's not animated manga art, which is impossible to (affordably) do anyway, but it's also pretty cool in its own CGI way.

Plus, it will get more people to read the manga. If you think that's a bad thing, then you're just a filthy hipster.

Why even make this I mean, the manga itself wasn't something with unlimited praise like Ghost in the shell, people are and have been divided on blame. GITS as a cash grab makes sense, even a live action death note makes SOME SENSE, but Blame? I dun gittit.

If you told me there was going to be a blame movie on netflix or a live action dragon ball with a black yamcha who successfully fucks bulma I would have sooner believed the second.

It's a point which I've argued over for several years, and the new threads that have come with the movie have reignited the stupid questions that come with the associated line of questioning. I actually checked - prior to yesterday, the last time I needed to post a specific argument was in July, last year. And now, with the film, there's just all these people who insist vehemently that their theories, ages-old in reality but new to them, must be true.

guy with amnesia looks for humans with the net terminal genes that can access the internet so they can stop the chaotic expansion. net terminal genes dont exist anymore because silicon life is spreading contagions/killing them. finds girl scientist who failed to artificially connect to the netsphere. meets sanakan who injects him with multiple needles to transform him into a safeguard, but that dont work instead it gives him a system update so he can now understand the display and use his superhuman powers to full effect.
sanakan grows hair and impersobates a loli. Electro fishers. toha heavy industries, gravity furnace that fucks with time and space because unstable and gravity. But all it matters is they get Seus genes because hes ancient human.
dhomochevsky. davineluvinvega a silicon life that wants to connect to the netsphere. steals seus gene capsule to connect, almost works, downloads safeguard 9 data into cibo who was hacking her. killy gets wounded and recovers for decades. sanakan got transferred to a more independant safeguard detachment and protects the new cibo safeguard/Seu/cibo hybrid. Killy finds talking usb stick. killy finds sanakan and cibo being engaged by the endboss exterminator. sanakan and cibo die but the orb in cibos womb is ok killy takes it. usb stick walks around in dream world, killy gets wounded by safeguard looking like a backup body of him, gets flooded to the edge of the city where contagion hasnt spread and the orb activates. flashforward killy protects orb child that wears a suit so it doesnt get infected with contagion. the end

Oldfag here. I read the manga as a teenager more than 10 years ago and it had a pretty big impact on me.

It's pretty easy to hate this for not being like the mango and at some points cheesy, but it isn't not entertaining and is nice to see the characters being animated.

It's nothing like GITS level of butchery but don't expect the same thing. Just get comfy enjoy some 3DCG sci-fi animu.

GBE: I didn't like the red colour or post-discharge ashes. The white line that just deleted shit the fuck out of existence in the manga was the best gun experience I've ever had.

How would you know and how does that matter? Polygon has done theatrical-level CGI before, and this wasn't that.

Studios don't have that much choice anon. You can't stay too long without a project and they were probably too happy to get a budget for his one. Heck it was probably their only shot at being able to make a Blame! adaptation. Tons of projects get scrapped every year because no one is interested in investing in them, so when you get a budget for a project you want to do you can't be smug and say "Nah it's shit, I'll find someone else".
Budget determines production time along with publisher deadline, wich means that even the best studios can't do much with a small budget.

Heck, that's why QUALITY is a thing in the first place. It's also due to staff competence and production management, but small budget leading to rushed productions has a huge impact on those things.

Sidonia/BLAME! are actually Polygons idea/project. They approached Kondansha to acquire the manga rights. The CGI is the way it is intentionally, not due to a lack of money but intentional stylistic choices.

Im not talking about the stylistic choice regarding the CGI (wich Im fine with), Im talking about some of the more rushed aspects of the production (quite evident during the Sana-Kan/Killy fight, just look at those ugly burning rocks).
Even if they acquired the rights, they still needs funding. And if it's a "Netflix Original" then it's safe to assume most of it came from Netflix in the first place. I don't think Polygon funded it all from it's own pockets.

There's an Oshii who can have fun and an Oshii who desperately wants to be taken seriously.
The first GitS is probably the one film he's done where these things meet a happy end product, but it's not the norm.
Compare the Red Spectacles manga with Jin Roh or Stray Dog.
The manga was so much more fun. A proper adaption of it would have been so fucking amazing, but he had to take all of the worthwhile stuff out. The same thing happened in Patlabor 2.

Oshii these days is the one who can't have any fun. Be happy with what you have.

Did you see that one bit where a laser hits a building, and flame effects and smoke burst out of the building and the screen shakes, but you can clearly see no change to the actual structure in the background?

>GITS as a cash grab makes sense, even a live action death note makes SOME SENSE, but Blame? I dun gittit.

Blame! has a bit of a cult-following all over the globe. Its not strictly just for japanese audience, since plenty of europeans loved Blame! manga as well. So its ideal for distributors like Netflix because its small money guaranteed from every major market.

Anime movies in general don't always have to be made with strictly japanese audience in mind. Little Witch Academy is another example of this.

The only companies on the production committee besides Polygon are King Records, Kodansha and perhaps Klockworks. Netflix have just bought worldwide streaming rights. Although it has been said in cases where Netflix does this it is often paying enough such that the production is going to be profitable even if it does terribly in Japan.

My point was it is their own IP anyway not "some jew publisher giving TV budget for a movie". I don't really think any of it looks particularly rushed or terrible to be honest. It was certainly Polygon's best attempt at date to imitate 2D anime style with their animation. Easily above any of the TV series anime imitation animation they have done on the visual aspect.

If they had integrity, they would. People do it all the time.

Again: telling yourself that they deserve some sort of slack or recognition for making a hackneyed, under-cooked adaptation is intellectually dishonest rationalization. The move was shit, and if they don't want to be known for producing stinkers, they simply shouldn't churn 'em out. It really is that simple, and no different from any other industry in that regard.

Here you can see a person who has never owned a company.

Most production companies out there do multiple commissioned works first before being able to do a dream project of their own. This is true for pretty much all forms of media from animation, film, comics and games.
>>
>>157485582
They don't need to own it to shell out the cash for it.

Getting Blame on a large mainstream platform is cruicial for stuff like that. The kind of sci-fi movies aren't made so it can be quite successful in all kinds of markets. Sidonia was extremly successful on Netflix for a reason.

I know nothing of it beyond the film, which was incredibly powerful. But, that's only my perspective. /a/ has an extremely rigid hate/love line with Sky Crawlers - unlike that of most other anime/manga products in general. You're just as likely to hear someone say that it's the worst thing that they've ever seen. So, if you're curious about it, you ought to simply watch it yourself.
>>
>>157485550

Yes, but there can be long periods where both Cibo and Sanakan can be absent.

One book because of time distortion in the chamber they enter, Killy gets separated from Cibo, but find a different world-line version of her as a guide, then a little bit later finds the original Cibo as well. But thanks to the time-distortion, Cibo had waited for Killy for 25 years.
>>
>>157485658
Yeah, but she shows up like three times across 10 volumes. There are characters who weren't even in this film who are more prominent in the manga than Sanakan is.

Impression? What impression idiot, it's a fact. Netflix wanted more Nihei stuff because Sidonia did very well for them (and Polygon wanted to do more Nihei stuff because they like his work). The other companies on the production committee are tag-alongs.

It was dull and exactly the reason I hate modern Oshii.
He could have all of that political commentary and all of those thematic elements without the characters coming across as robots.
In fact, the lack of expression in the characters actively damages the film, because it makes them incredibly difficult to mourn, when the entire premise is built around making you feel bad for the people forced into these roles.
The book and the game realized this. They didn't have this problem.

I do agree that the animation looked better than Sidonia, but some shit, especially effects, looked really bad clearly showing that they decided to cut corners.
Even if it's your own IP you still need a budget to do things (IPs don't come with bank accounts), and it has to come from somewhere. If there is a production comitee, hen it means that the budget indeed came from different parties (most likely the ones you listed). So saying that "some jew publishers gave TV budget for a movie" isn't actually wrong (though it is a quick assumption to make).

>>157485564
First, the adaptation looked good overall. It's just that you don't like it.
Second, you're fucking wrong.

It's not rare for studios to do shitty projects just so they have something to work on. And budgets aren't easy to get son. If you manage to get one you can't be sure you'll ever get another one that's as good. Putting food on the table is more important than integrity.

You just sounds like you know nothing about the animation industry.

Making Sidonia is literally what gave Polygon a good reputation as a CG studio in the anime space. Both Sidonia and BLAME! are very much their projects not things they are doing for the money. Considering that BLAME! if anything is visually an upgrade on Sidonia it will probably continue to enhance their reputation in the industry.

Anime would need to rewrite a lot of things like inlcuding more human side-kicks, so it would somehow work in the audio-visual format like a movie or tv series.

Polygon Pictures was doing CGI animation before that. What he meant was that CGI didn't prove financially viable before Sidonia (CGI anime wasn't popular.) You're confused as fuck.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b83xt2jisc

Blame has inspired a huge amount of interesting music, actually. Aairria's stuff being the most obvious example, of course.
https://aairria.bandcamp.com/album/metastructure-netsphere

There's also an album by Gerar DuGalle called "Megastructure", which is much more musical and 'thematic' than Aairria's work. His thing appears to be gone from bandcamp, though, so I don't know how to link it.

I genuinely enjoyed this movie. This is probably one of the rarer cases where I'm actually fine with the work not being a direct adaptations and that the liberties taken with the movie was pretty acceptable. I've mentioned before in the Sidonia anime threads that I'd actually be fine with Blame being full CG and well now that it's actually out, this is also one of the rarer cases where it being full CG actually enhances the setting.

As an aside, I find it interesting to find that this season consists of both the best and worst example of full CG anime.
>>

You're arguing about Oshii's value as a director when the initial point in question was whether or not he would make a good Blame adaptation. Going by the logic which you, yourself, have provided, he would.
>>
>>157485944
Yeah but how do they know about cyborgs?
>>
>>157485955
It made sense because Oshii went out of his way to write it in that manner so he wouldn't have to try with these characters. Again, the intention of the film in framing these characters in a sympathetic light falls completely on its fucking face when you don't give two shits about them and want the shooting to start back up.

The only person thats confused here seems to be you. I never stated Polygon Pictures wasn't doing CGI before that. For the most part their work was rarely in anime though. I said that making Sidonia gave Polygon a good reputation in the anime space.

>Doesn't mean they're the main funder of the project. You seem to have no idea how anime production and financing works.
I have never said they are the main funder. I am just pointing out that Netflix isn't forcing them to make anime adaptations of Nihei works. It's very much their project that they have put together and pitched to Netflix as a source of funding. They approached all the parties to get it made. It wasn't Kodansha or Netflix that approached Polygon to do the work on Sidonia.

The point I'm making is that he wouldn't because he doesn't give two shits any more.
He'd give it his standard oshii treatment.
He wouldn't explore the setting.
He wouldn't provide anything unique to the characters.
He'd give you the same navel gazing slog he's given you the past decade and a half.

Reminder that Nihei's works aren't cyberpunk. They're more like post-cyberpunk.

Sidonia gave them a good reputation as a studio that can make 3DCG anime successfully. The only person that is confused here is you because you seem to be unable to read properly. I don't actually think we are disagreeing on all that much rather that you are just misunderstanding everything due to poor comprehension.

>why the fuck are you even arguing then?
Polygon most definitely are not "only doing the animation" they are the whole reason the project exists and own the rights. Meanwhile you are trying to make out that this is a tradional production committee whereby the animation studio has just been hired by the rights holder when that isn't the case at all.

It renders the entire fucking movie pointless. Because I fucking despised those two robots.
A tragedy isn't a tragedy if you don't care about the people involved.
And don't get me wrong, these were all still VERY competent movies. Thematically and technically.
But they're clearly routine and very disrespectful to their source material.
And that's a clear reason why he wouldn't make a good Blame! adaption.

For Netflix are titles like Sidonia and Blame perfect.

They can tap the anime target group but because of the sci-fi story and CG there is also a way wider appeal.

Both are great titles to complete and diverse the own catalog.

>Jin-Roh is Oshii's own story.
It's a bastardization of his own story.
Like I've been saying.
The guy used to know how to have fun.
How to write endearing characters.
He forgot after he made it big.
>Not to me. But then again, I don't have to 'feel for' the characters and 'cry when they die' to enjoy a good story.
And again, if the sentiment of the audience for the characters was not important, there would not have been so much time devoted to them. They would not have played such a central role.
>>
At this point I would think they will only do more stand-alone movies. The setting is perfect that kind of story telling like some Western or Samurai classics.

It was a pretty transparent dynamic, especially if you're coming out of GitS.
I was saying it was a waste of time.
If your story can't be told without devoting so much time to two characters with absolutely nothing going for them, then you'd probably be better off telling a different story. A rewrite would be in order, or at least an attempt to make these people likeable.
But that's too much work for Oshii these days.

It's also something they did in partnership with Kodansha and King Records. Again Netflix may have contributed to funding the project in order to secure worldwide streaming rights but thats as far as their role in it goes. The active role in putting the project together and making it happen is in Polygon's court. Other companies have contributed to funding it as well including Polygon. You don't acquire rights to an IP for free.

Why not? Because you thought the story was a romance? That's why Little Red Riding Hood triggers you so much. It was a hunter and prey story, but you wanted to watch a love story.

From now on I'm just going to reply to you with "pleb" because that's what you are and you deserve no more and no less than that.

>>157486541
>It was a hunter and prey story,
Does a wolf usually cry before he kills his prey.
No. The movie was about a brutal political system which forces two basically good people into doing evil things. Both of them thought themselves the predator. Both of them felt bad about it. I'm sorry you can't into subtext.
A failed message because I was rooting for that violent system to kill both of these whiny melodramatic fags.

Sorry but that is nonsense. Kodansha and King Records are on the Sidonia Production Committee. Netflix are not. Those companies actually have ownership in the anime.

This is the message of the film.
It fails because the characters are unlikable.
So there's not feeling of tragedy from a tragic story.
I understand that both of the characters are in this relationship unnaturally and to the detriment of the other. If that's the case, then there's no point to the movie and the characters certainly shouldn't have the waterworks at the end.

It's not a difficult to understand film.
If you lack the capacity to take away such a basic message, then I get the impression this discussion isn't worth continuing.

It's one of the things I'm most mad about in this age of CG.

You're not drawing these fucking frames by hand anymore, just up the framerate to 60 already holy shit. It'll be worth the time spent rendering the frames. I thought 60fps was smooth as shit until I got a 144hz monitor for gaming purposes.

You've got it wrong in your head.

Dhomo, Iko, and Sanakan are Safeguards. Killy is not. Killy is a "[a] system's secret messenger", and/or a "pre-Safeguard agent". He was alive before the Netsphere disaster. He is a human who has had extensive cyborg-ification done to his body. In the time before the disaster, he was likely a police officer. This ties in (somewhat tongue-in-cheek) with the original Blame, which has Killy working as a cop in a world where people are beginning to do the Silicon thing. The Authority is the law which supersedes the Safeguard system and is intended to control all of the functions of The City. When the Netsphere disaster happened, The Authority was trapped in the Netsphere, in the chaos, and somehow lost the ability to control/change the Safeguard protocols and the ability to largely interfere with the physical world. As a legally-licensed authority, Killy is tasked by The Authority with fixing everything. Maybe they gave him his physical enhancements after the end of the world, maybe he already had them. Either way, he's literally just Some Guy with cutting-edge tech installed in his body. The cutting-edge tech is prototypal equipment which was later developed into the standardized Safeguard designs - an event which must have occurred before the disaster. In summary: no, he's not a Safeguard.

This guy really gets it and knows what he is talking about. The animators at Polygon were used to working on western CG for the most part so taking a Japanese approach with framerate modulation was probably rather new to them and hence they weren't particularly skilled at it.

You got hoisted by your own petard. I've seen Sidonia interpolated to 60fps. The improvement is minimal. That guy is right, the motion is not defined properly.
>>
>>157487243
Yeah that's the difference between them really. The Polygon crew just lack experience in the 2D animation so aren't great at knowing which frames to remove to get the effect they are aiming for. The facial rigging they use could do with improvement too although that has improved signficantly since earlier projects.

I don't think most of the cuhrayzee animations in character action games or souls bossfights are mo-capped.

>>157487662
That's false though. >>157487117
Generally they produce 24fps animation then remove frames. It probably costs them more to attempt to achieve the limited animation feeling.

>>157487753
Yes, they do it because they're used to it and it's what the audience expects. The audience expects it because it's always been that way, and it's always been that way because it was the cheaper option. Do you really think their amazing 'limited frame animation style' is limited to a random arbitrary number of 12 or whatever they use? No. It can be done at whatever fps they choose to do it at with minor basic stylistic modifications that would no doubt leave it looking far better at higher frames than lower.
>>
>>157487595
I also prefer limited animation in anime. Anime-style animation is limited. That's what gives it its particular look and feel, besides the design.
>>
>>157487849

It really isn't at all what the audience expects. They just don't know how to do limited animation properly. Read upthread.

Limited animation is defined as animation at less than 24fps. Once you reach 24fps it's considered full animation. So yeah that's the limit.

I've actually really enjoyed it. Sure some of the changes were pretty jarring (like Cibo meeting Killy in the Electrofisher town) but at the same time I'm so glad to see BLAME! animated in a decent style. Then again I'll admit my bar is pretty low so I can understand why people could be upset over those changes.

Yeah, that's why they call him "the calamity".

He just moves through the megastructure and whatever powers exist - silicon creatures, safeguards, whatever - can just watch, because whatever they send to stop him it just dies, or barely escapes.

He is, in a way, a force of nature, rather than a living being.

That's part of his charm. He's this tiny little thing in the vastness of megastructure and yet has pretty big impact on it. Endlessly moving through it.
>>
>>157489092
Honestly that's one of the more interesting facts of his character. He's literally a living legend and the new movie accentuates that - he feels 'beyond' the Megastructure in a sense. Considering he's most likely pre-contagion he might as well be from another world. Almost makes him like a divine messenger or something if I wanted to get even more pretentious than I already am.

He still needs to munch on those ration sticks though.

Just to add, this is why Mad Max is a good example of another character like that.

Doesn't say much, shows up places to show the viewer/reader a story from the world he inhabits, destroys whatever is in his path without saying a word, keeps on going.

>>157489177

Pretty much.

He is like a relict from a whole that almost no one remembers. And for some reason he keeps going, driven by something.

It's weird. It does make it feel like Killy is otherworldly, like despite being inferior to all the new forms of "life" he still is invincible in a sense.

This is why I love BLAME! so much. It's this combination of extremely depressing world which seems to have no hope, stability, or sense, combined with the adamantium-grade force of will of Killy who just keeps going, no matter what, trying to find the net terminal gene.

He's like the rock we cling onto, while traversing through this chaotic and difficult to understand world.

I never actually thought about that. The world is really damn crazy and shitty but even if he's a mystery - Killy remains Killy. Even when Sankan and Cibo change forms he's always the same. Huh.

I really gotta re-read BLAME! again.

Anyone else watch this movie and laugh every time Killy was asked a question? The guy would take like 30secs to answer even when everyone around him was dying. I get that he's some kind of machine but it's like he was given some kind of A.I. autism.
>>
>>157489464
Well it's implied he's so old and busted he might as well have some speech impediment. Plus I bet in the movie-verse he didn't speak to anyone in like what few thousand years? He's just rusty. Or maybe he just speaks that way. Who knows.

Exactly.

Other authors would have tried to give the guys some kind of character arc, maybe a genuine romantic interest.

Not Killy. This guy has been around for possibly hundreds of thousands of years, at least tens. He's seen probably billions of people die before his eyes various ways.

The moment Cibo joined him on his quest he probably already anticipated her death at some point, because that's what always happens.

The world around him changes, people die, people are born, new forms of life are created, and he just keeps going, having seen it all already.

He might have partial amnesia when we meet him, but his character is still what it is. Jaded by the life he's lived, or rather, survived.

He really is a force of nature, a calamity.

It's not the characters. That part is actually quite uplifting(as much as it can be in this setting). After all the net terminal gene was found.

It's about the world.

It's so chaotic, vast, so pointless.

All these beings, all mutated one way or another, al agmented one way or another. Probably not knowing where they or the structure they live in came from.

The lack of any normal human beings. The cheapness of life of any form in such a world. The pointlessness of building it bigger an bigger for no reason.

The seemingly ineffective attempts at saving the life in megastructure in various ways.

I don't know, if I was dropped somewhere in the megastructure during the time of BLAME! I would probably find it very hard to shake of the feeling of the ground shifting beneath my feet, literally and conceptually.
