The movie just came out on Netflix last night. What'd you guys think?
>>
>>157495673
Yes and no.

Reading the manga will fill in you on some of the clues and the general 'the fuck is going on' and will put the whole movie in better context.

On the other hand the movie explains just enough so it can be it's separate thing but you will feel it's a part of something bigger. It also chagned up some stuff to make it easier for a newcomer.

how? of all the things to be confused about in the manga I've never understood how someone can be confused about this.

he reaches the edge of the city, he floats up with blue ball containing net terminal genes that is now glowing, the last page in the series is him with a little girl covered head to to in gas mask and protect suit, the page is also all blue.


what is there to be confused about? he got his genes and killy being killy will get her where she needs to go.

Exactly what this man said.

I started in on the series with the reprint. The translation was off putting, for sure, but only became awful when compared to Tokyo Pop. At any rate, only being at volume 3 of said reprint, I hope the poor translation doesn't hurt the overall work too much. After all it seems to be more about enjoying the mega-structure and monster/cyborg designs.

Maybe you pre existing manga reader fans were disappointed but from the perspective of someone new to the franchise the world was fascinating and I immediately bought the manga after watching. Maybe the dialogue was a bit spoonfeedy at times but anime can be so much worse regularly. The CG animation is probably the best Polygon have ever done when trying to be anime like too.

I though he just got shot in the leg, didn't look like a harpoon which confused me.

Well they pretty much kill the kid. And the kid actually had net terminal genes too. So the story begins from Killy's first major failure of successfully retrieving them. Takes a pretty long time until he even stumbles across someone with netsphere genes again.

You can notice how the movie got some elements from the second story, the one with the flying Watchers that just stare tribesmen to death. A lot of minor details in the movie are taken from various books, like the food bars are from the first one. And the "make everything room"- is basically taken from vol.9.

And Killy had already began the journey with Cibo in vol 2. Electro-fishers get introduced in vol.3, and in a completely separate megastructure entirely.

Doesn't even need a human being for it, just a way to access the netsphere by using those genes as a password that prevents Safeguard from just instantly spawning on top of you and murdering your ass.

That and, he would also protect her from danger; since as a human, she was more vulnerable than he is, comparatively.

Killy is not completely emotionless, and after Cibo dies when he meets up with her at last, his journey afterwards--its indirectly implied, that he's more tired of it than he was before. To an extent, Killy was likely grateful for Cibo's company throughout his journey.

Well, not really. She's an android like him, only not a combat-oriented one. Which is why Cibo often gets killed but manages to get clever and steal new bodies for herself. Ands the first time they meet in the manga, she's literally a talking corpse so obviously she's not "human" either.

First time she screws up the "stealing bodies"-process is when her old obsession of seeing the Netsphere with her own eyes comes up. She steals Davine's ID when Davine gets shot to the head, and reaches out to the Netsphere, accidentally downloading a body of Lvl 9 Safeguard on herself. So thanks to her weakness this time her new body ruins everything, and leaves her mind corrupted.

Not future Cibo. Different reality/space-time/universe Cibo. When Mensan teleported herself and Seu, and Killy got caught in the teleportation matrix; he was displaced outside of base reality into an alternate reality--because TOHA HEAVY INDUSTRIES' gravity furnace was involved.

As a result, the Cibo he met there was an entirely different Cibo than the Cibo Killy personally knew. Its not a future per se, but it could be an alternate future where Cibo never met Killy until that moment.

The chaos in The City is so great, that technology has rampantly evolved to a level where playing around with time and space is now "oh, and by the way," kind of thing. For all intents and purposes, The City is an elderitch horror into itself.

The Safeguard kill everyone, they take no sides.

>What do the cyborgs want any way?
The Silicon Life are basically chaos cultists. Their goal is to destroy any traces of the Net Terminal Gene, removing any last hope of restoring order over the Net Sphere.

>What's the difference between functional conscious Safeguards and Cyborgs?
The Silicon Life use both their own proprietary tech and stolen Safeguard tech. Otherwise, they are different factions.

>Which one is Killy?
Killy is a Safeguard unit from a long time ago, not much is known about his origins other than that he was created before the Safeguard went haywire.

One theory is that he's the result of a Silicon Life experiment from the NOiSE era. In that manga, the Order (which later became Silicon Life) were stealing Safeguard technology and experimenting on children. One of the missing children looked suspiciously like Killy.

Then yes, Safeguards fight against the Silicon creatures.

Silicons just want chaos, they're basically internet trolls/anarchists. Although much later on in the manga, we do see a rather unique Silicon that just wants to observe the Jupiter-sized room and doesn't want to fight, so I'm sure not all of them want anarchy and chaos.

Main difference is stated in the name, one is made from silicon while the other doesn't. Silicon basically stole the technology from the Safeguards and used it on themselves.

Killy is pre-safeguard, he is neither.

The only definitive number is from the end of NOiSE which says that it's been at least 3000 years since the Safeguard shut down the Net Sphere.

>So do the safeguard also fight the cyborgs?

Yes, anything vaguely humanoid that does not have net terminal genes.

>What do the cyborgs want any way?

You mean Silicon Creatures? It depends on the level, they hunt humans for their genetic information so they can clone them and make more Silicon Creatures. Generally they don't want Killy's quest to succeed because despite Safeguard going nuts, the overall state of the City benefits them.

>What's the difference between functional conscious Safeguards and Cyborgs?

Safeguards is an anti-spyware/antivirus program that has gone insane. All of its agents are essentially murderous robot dolls with religious visual theme (Sanakan having black angel wings, Level 9 being a black archangel, Higher level Exterminators looking like saints or bishops).

Silicon Creatures are just basically japanese Strogg. Heavily enhanced Cyborgs. Their look can vary from Level to Level. Davine Lu Linvega's gang looks very insect- and centipede-based.

>Which one is Killy?

Stolen old Safeguard model, with a task to find net terminal genes and save humanity. Later on Authority/Governing Agency explains that the net terminal genes can also save the entire City/Structure, because eventually its chaotic uncontrolled growth might make the entire thing collapse on itself and only a person with Net terminal genes can tell all the Builders everywhere to stop building.

Killy is the prototype for what would eventually become special safeguard. He has legal authority in equal to the NetSphere Authority. Which is why, when Sanakan attempts to forcibly register Killy as a Safeguard Agent under her control, the process fails--because Sanakan lacks the capacity (authority) to overrule Killy's own directives.

Killy is, within the pre-safeguard and Safeguard/post-chaos, system, the only entity that has ABSOLUTE autonomy. His motive and intents are pure: find NTGs, make them connect with an NetSphere, and halt the rampant growth and chaos. As such, he can do anything and The Authorities will, in a round about way (since they themselves no longer can control the Safeguard system), will do everything in their power to assist him.

Its why any agent with borderline decent to good capacity, ALWAYS intervenes and protects Killy and anyone with him, when they are attempting to cross across a megastructure into another. It has likely been the case for thousands of years.

It was never made clear if he had NTG. For one thing, Seu and Mensab refused to cooperate with the Net Sphere. And when Cibo and that Silicon creature did connect to the Net Sphere, it was through a provisional connection which didn't require NTG.

Of course Killy is not Safeguard, he's decommissioned, custom modified, illegal ex-Safeguard. Obviously an older model too, since he's very similar to Dhomochevsky who is another old model "Safeguard".

He doesn't get all the cool new-Safeguard swag like doll minions, black wings, nano-machine needles and hands that eat GRE-shots. In the manga Sanakan is more powerful than him and it takes outside intervention (usually by Cibo) for him to beat her. Because he's the older model. Only reason he hasn't died as often as Sanakan is that he's managed to dodge every single fatal shot from GBE (Pcell's sword strike narrowly misses his head), while not being so lucky with everything else.

Agent type Safeguard like Iko, Dhomo, and Sanakan are the only ones who show signs of consciousness. And some Builders, but that's a different story.

In a poorly-translated interview in BLAME And So On, it seemed that Nihei implied the agent types were once human, and that some of their old memories are brought through each time they're rebuilt for a mission.

Neither of them knew that he had them, Seu doesn't remember anything, and they're sealed inside Toa. A legal agreement was made between their organization and The City which meant that Safeguards and shit couldn't go inside, which is the only reason why they're still alive in the first place. Even if Mensab and Seu were to realize that he had net terminal genes, they'd have to know *how* to use them to fix The City, and they'd also have to leave Toa to reach a terminal. If they leave Toa, they will be killed by Safeguards/Silicons. Seu, on his own, could barely manage to beat one or two Silicons on his own. Imagine if he had to deal with an army of Silicons that wanted to stop him from ending the chaos, like the Silicon group which we see Sanakan take on in the last volume. He'd have no chance of surviving for even a second.

Negative. When she's killed by Killy the first time, the Net Sphere in an intermediate reality manages to capture her data before it gets dumped into the temporary storage space. They then repurpose her into protecting Cibo and the embryonic sphere. She does this as a special safeguard, while fighting against increasingly evolving Silicon life--until she finally dies.

However, within the intermediate reality, there isn't sufficient privileges for upload of her data into Net Sphere space. As such, they can revive her one final time and at her disposal, give her the full complimentary tools of The Authority--but warn her that should she die, they will no longer be able to revive her. Despite the risks, she accepts and downloads back into base reality. This is because she is aware of the SIGNIFICANCE of the embryonic sphere that Cibo carries (something the new silicon life society is unaware off). Sanakan at this point knows that--that sphere is the one chance the Net Sphere has against stopping the rampant chaos.

So she returns, more powerful than before, more capable than before and BTFOs the silicon life society--up until, the Safeguard system downloads into base reality an Exterminator First Class (this thing is even MORE powerful than the illegally downloaded Level 9 Safeguard; we're talking, this fucker can alter space-time and create pocket dimensional prisons with the flick of its wrist (like the one it used to temporarily prevent movement of Killy.))

During this final fight, when Killy is trapped, the Exterminator First Class recognizes that Killy is an even greater threat than Sanakan (despite how utterly powerful Sanakan is). As a result, it attempts to kill him first. However, Sanakan in an act of sacrifice, redirects the attack meant to kill Killy onto her, while simultaneously purging enough of the reality warping prison, that Killy could power his GBE to Level 4 EXTRA and obliterate the Exterminator First Class.

Retard. Dhomochevsky is a "Safeguard but not really", he's extremely similar to Killy in his abilities and laconic personality. Its not a huge fucking stretch to think Killy is the same thing as Dhomo, especially when Safeguards themselves see him as an unregistered Safeguard (therefore not really Safeguard).

>>157507741

>this thing is even MORE powerful than the illegally downloaded Level 9 Safeguard

Well, not really. Lvl 9 Cibo destroyed a huge swath of area with her halo. Exterminator never did such huge amount of destruction in such a short amount of time.

Still, pretty strong. And I like the idea how the highest level Exterminator does his stuff by creating matter, instead of destroying it. Complete opposite to lower level safeguards and GBE weapons.

That's not quite right. Dhomo, Iko, and (depending on theory) Sanakan were never human. It's explicitly written in the manga and in the artbook that Dhomo and Iko were *created*, as Safeguards.

He says that they start to gain a consciousness/conscience after being alive for long enough as artificial intelligences.

>representative

To use Bleach as an example, Ichigo is a representative of the shinigami; where as Rukia is an agent of the the shinigami.

Equally, Sanakan is a representative of the Governing agency, whereas Killy is the ABSOLUTE authority (and agent) of the Governing agency in base reality.

Furthermore, the intermediate reality entity (shadow), states that the safeguard will no longer have her data anymore--as such, if she returns to base reality, the safeguard will attack her too. This is seen to happen when she encounters the Exterminator First Class.

At one point in time she was a safeguard. Then Killy killed her. The governing agency got hold of her data, and conscripted her as a representative of them, to go find Cibo and protect her. She did so to an extent, up until, the silicon life society killed her. Knowing the stakes and risks with respect to the embryonic sphere, she demanded to be sent back to base reality. The Governing Agency, which is a subset of the higher Authority of Net Sphere, states that their contract with her has effectively expired. But, because they have good will amongst each other, should she choose to exercise her right to return to base reality, designed for war, she can if she wishes.

Which she does. And the rest is as it is.

He even gains access to Safeguard armory after losing his gun to Dhomochevsky. Would a non-Safeguard be able to do that? No. So obviously he's tied to Safeguards. He's an early Safeguard just like Dhomo, before they went nuts.

Not who you've been talking to, but my understanding was that Killy was essentially a precursor to what would *eventually* turn into the Safeguard. He was created to be as powerful a force as possible for the Authority, and the Safeguard based much of itself on him. This being sci-fi, however, they couldn't make something as powerful as the prototype, which is why he's such an important asset for the Authority.

Precursor, another name for a prototype.

Funny thing is Sanakan is more powerful than Killy, wins him in a duel, and has tons of other abilities on top of that. Makes sense for a newer model to be superior to a prototype. Usually takes more than one person to take down Sanakan.

First time Killy gets saved from Sanakan blowing his head off by the Electro-fishers. Second time Cibo bottlenecks Safeguard power source and causes her to spasm, giving Killy time to shoot her. Third time Killy throws Sanakan inside Toha, booting her off from her body. Fourth time Sanakan gets distracted both by Cibo and her primary objective which is to disable the central AI of Toha, so Killy gets a clear shot on her.

They address him as a Safeguard because Sanakan, when she was a Safeguard, attempted to forcibly register him as a subordinate of her authority.

SHE FAILED. Because Killy has ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY from the Net Sphere. Sanakan lacked capacity. That's it.

HOWEVER, as a result of her attempt, and Killy's own systems overruling her attempts to "hack him". To Iko and anyone else looking, it APPEARS as if, there was a forcible erasure of Safeguard registration.

Which, of course, there was. Because AGAIN, Sanakan lacks the authority to do anything to Killy other than to kill him, were she to succeed--which she does not.

Yeah, except Sanakan's attempt at converting him restores his systems so he can actually understand the language in his eyes.

You're confusing something.

The order isn't Sanakan > Killy

The order is: Killy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> X >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Y >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Z >>>>>>>>>>>> Iko/Dhomo/Sanakan >>>>>>>>>>>> SAFEGUARD

He IS NOT a Safeguard. But everything that went right with him, eventually made it into a system, which over time, evolved into what became the Safeguard.

That's why the controller states that he's not a safeguard, but is a secret agent of a pre-system. Because there's so little dialogue in BLAME!, every word is explicit and has a purpose. Sentences and phrases are explicit and have profound meaning.

If you're confused, reread BLAME! again.

>>157509634
Anon, think about it. Safeguards didn't magically appear out of nowhere. If Killy is a special agent from before Safeguards were created, wouldn't you want to give said special agent special access to said Safeguards when they eventually became operational? It's like the deal with the intentional backdoor for certain programs and FBI/CIA agents.

Lolno. The Authority made the Safeguard. But at some point in the past, their attempt at rewriting authentication protocols went awry, and as a result, Safeguard began killing any human that did not possess the NTG. Further, the Silicon Life Society capitulated on this chaos, to spread their own plague and somewhere along this timeline, the Authority lost all control of the Safeguard control system that affected base reality.

Authority cannot act without orders from someone with NTG. The Safeguards are automated defense systems.

>But everything that went right with him, eventually made it into a system, which over time, evolved into what became the Safeguard.

And he has the same system language, same privilege rights and the Safeguard recognize him as an unregistered agent, which they attempt to re-register when they stumble across him.

So he's proto-Safeguard, or an agent of the proto-Safeguard system. Not official Safeguard, not a murderous doll creature. An older model of an older version with a different name.

Too many things in the story would simply not make sense whatsoever if he wouldn't be somehow related to them.

Just because one translator keeps screaming "Its not Alucard, its Arucard its written that way GAAAH", doesnt mean that he's right.

Also, if you consider the memory from backup sequence during Killy's restoration phase (after Level 9 attack), at one point in the deep past, the authority sent out THREE agents.

Three Killy-like entities into The City, to find the NTGs. In the time since, the other two likely have failed and/or were killed making Killy the only agent left of a pre-Safeguard system that remains functioning in the hyperstructure.

So, whenever he's in trouble and they CAN assist him, they pull out all the fucking stops and help him anyway they can.

You have to imagine that there's a central authority within the Net Sphere, where they're pouring resources left and right into pushing an agent with decent capacity, into the base reality whenever they manage to interact with Killy in times of significant need.

Abandon "proto-Safeguard", you blind fuck. That's not a 100%-accurate translation. See, all of us translators thought that people could understand vaguely liberal translations, but I guess we were wrong. From now on, I need to translate "arigatou gozaimasu" as "you've gone to trouble", because YOU don't understand what "thank you" actually means.

THERE IS NO "PROTO-" OR "PRE-" IN THE TEXT. IT JUST SAYS "BEFORE".
"SYSTEM WHICH EXISTED BEFORE SAFEGUARD".
>>
>>157510227

That's because The Authority has to expend, likely, immense resources to push an agent with proper capacity into Base Reality. They can't throw things out willy nilly. Hell, it likely takes an gorillion amount of bandwidth to materialize a GBE into base reality.

A kid with the NTG. You don't need to know any more about him since Killy had failed to protect him and started this whole quest. The better question is who is that creepy little kid a few chapters later?
>>
>>157510274
We don't know, and Nihei has never clarified it himself or been asked about it in public (as far as I know). Two schools of thought on it:
#1. He had the gene, and the Silicon plague fucked it up mutagenically.
#2. He didn't have the gene, but Killy and the Silicons thought that he might, and didn't have any immediate means of checking.

Chances are that it's #1.

Significant to deep-level readers: what the first Silicon in the series says, as he's dying, most accurately translates as:
>He had a pre-plague genotype, unmistakably.
So, it could be simply that the child was an extremely rare, uninfected person who needed to be checked for Net Terminal genes.

Then it doesn't supersede Safeguard, who throws entire armies in base reality the very second anyone with no proper genes gets near Megastructures, or areas with high Netsphere activity.

The story would not work if Authority would be able to keep Safeguard in check. The main reason things aren't fixed already is because Authority can't deal with Safeguard by itself.

If Authority would be stronger in base reality than Safe Guard, then Cibo's original experiment would've gone through without troubles, people would've had the access to Netsphere and Killy would've ended his quest long ago.

They had a contract which prevented Netsphere from interacting with Toha. Thats why both Authority and Safeguard could not enter inside. Safeguard only really cares about the net terminal genes. And when it has an interest to appear, theres little the Authority can do to stop it.

No he's not. He learns about the Authority the first time in the first volume and even fights Authority's own exterminators. He's not their registered agent either so he can't respawn like Sanakan later in the manga. And Authority spills the beans in an info dump in Volume 2. Authority doesn't say "No he's with us", when Cibo asks if Killy is a safeguard.

He's an ally since they share the same interest. Only thing Authority manages to do in the story is to be the quest NPC with an exclamation mark on top of his head, or an immobile NPC with an info-dump attached to it. With occasional abortive attempts to protect people from Safeguard.

Hell, Authority can't even do anything about illegal connections, other than fuck around with the connection speed. Meanwhile Safeguard spawns grinning priests which chop you into pieces both in Netsphere and reality.

Safeguard can't attack places not related to the Netsphere, period. The Treaty was to make sure Toha stays offline like the so many non-Megastructure corridors and buildings that the Silicon Creatures like so much.

As soon as things came back online Authority couldn't do anything else but observe from the sidelines when Safeguard rushed in. If Authority would supersede Safeguard in base reality, it would spawn a horde of exterminators of its own and win the fight.

If Safeguard is not under Authority's control, its not subservient to it. Safeguard constantly overrides Authority whenever it comes to killing humans, and even attacks the proxies of Authority itself.

Its like saying your dog is subservient to you when its busy pissing in your mattress, never obeying any orders, living independently on you and always attacking you on sight. Oh, and actually succeeding in bending you over and literally fucking you. You're not that dog's master at that point.

>>157512480
Jesus fucking Christ. Are you that much of an idiot? The Authority cannot act because a human with NTG is required. They cannot do anything without one. The Safeguards are an automated system, no input from a human with NTG is required. However, whenever the Authority can act, such as making a treaty, the Safeguards cannot do anything against it. That treaty alone shows the Safeguards cannot impose their own will over that of the Authority.

Are you that much of an idiot to realize that's inherently the whole damn plot of Blame! to begin with? The Authority sending someone to find a person with NTG so they can re-establish control over the Netsphere? Because if they can do shit without one, then all of the crap that Killy went through wouldn't have been needed in the first place.

Okay, this entire argument seems to stem from the fact that Dipshit can't or hasn't recognized that The Authority is trapped in the Netsphere chaos. *Nobody* in the Netsphere can do anything; it's hardly got anything to do with Safeguards or human authorization. They simply can't affect the world because they're trapped *at the moment*. That's it.
>>
>>157511863
You also have to consider the fact that the BLAME people often cite as an endless walking simulator only appears at the very end of the manga. Prior to that Killy almost always has someone, or there are interactions with others, just that Killy talks less as the series goes on. Even when he doesn't have Cibo he had Mori for bantz.

The movie was just a combination of the electrofisher arc, the sidonia special one shot chapter, and the abandoned level arc where Cibo is introduced minus Toha Heavy Industries.
>>
>>157512770

>The Authority cannot act because a human with NTG is required.

And the Safeguard can act. Its just that the programs interest is in hunting humans, it has no plans or purpose ahead to try and take control of the Authority.

But when they see what they are supposed to do, Authority can't stop them. Hence in a situation where Safeguard are present at all, they will always override Authority. Therefore they step over Authority and make it his bitch, they clearly have more power and control in situations that warrants it than the Authority and you even say it yourself. Authority wants to re-establish control over Netsphere. That implies he currently does not have the controls of it, and therefore IT DOES NOT HAVE CONTROL OF SAFEGUARDS, THEREFORE IT CANNOT SUPERSEDE SAFEGUARDS.

Its even shown in the fucking manga, how Authority proxies are weaker than Safeguard's, so its attempts to fight it in reality are very limited since the opponent simply has more power and bigger guns.

Authority gains control of Safeguard once again once NGE (the ultimate authority) tells it to do so. But as long as that does not happen, Authority cannot stop Safeguard from doing what they are programmed to do. Every time it tries to fight them he gets beaten.

Because the Authority needs a human with NTG. How many times does it need to be said? They cannot act without one.

With all of their impressive firepower, they could not act against the agreement that the Authority had set up in place.

Wait when did that happen? Fuck. Was that when Sanakan shot him in the face with those needles on their first encounter?
>>
>>157513688
Yeah Sanakan's needles were an attempt to register him as a safeguard against his will. Instead it just turned his HUD on.

Too much time in the village, too little walking through empty halls or fucking around with ancient machines.

It's a single best anime piece I've seen in the last couple of years.
Not even 3d is turning me off.

Finally something worthy among the piles of shit.
Yes, I'm aware of manga.
>>
>>157513865
It's not like Nihei had any other choice. The manga was reaching the end and they needed someone to spout exposition. Introducing a new and likable character this late would be a colossal waste. Make him as unlikable as possible so Killy can ditch him without a second thought for the final leg of his mission.

Blame, but instead of Killy, it's Johnny 5
Is it still entertaining enough or funny enough for you to read

Yeah, nah. That's wrong.

>Positron Cannon

That's also wrong. Very very wrong. Its explicitly a Graviton Beam Emitter. This has been confirmed by the BLAME! And So On art book.

Jesus, why's the volume so quiet?
Is this one of those dumb things again that you've just got to have because it's a movie, rather than a tv show?
>>
>>157514075
I agree. Its the first anime I enjoyed in a year.

So turn up your volume?

I shouldn't have to. The audio guys are a bunch of homos.

Wait, so is this going to be a series? I was wondering why they were trying to force the entire plot into just one level of the tower, and then the credits rolled and I realized they'd only gone through a tiny bit of the plot.
>>
>>157515109
>I shouldn't have to turn up my volume
What kind of fucking spoiled shit are you? I listened to it on $3,000 worth of audio equipment, yet I think you're the one being unreasonable. That's how out-there your view is.
>>
>>157515113
I'm really glad they decided to just show how Killy's journey affects a specific cast of characters rather than trying to cram his entire journey into a single movie.
>>
>>157515113
>is this going to be a series?
No. That's why everyone's mad about them mashing together bits of the manga for this.
>>

Killy and the dog have the same look, might even have been symbolic.

Oh damn, I somehow managed to miss this coming out.

The dog is the actual special agent and the female was his traveling companion?

Dog Girl and Dog are a key to the deepest secrets of Blame, but it's unlikely that we'll ever know what they are. Nihei drew her when Killy revived from the Level 9 attack. Nihei drew her in Gakuen. There's a cryptic message about "the girl with the dog" in the artbook notes. But, when asked about her recently, Nihei claimed that he didn't remember the character at all. I think that they're on an even higher level than the "true plot" of Abara that he revealed a couple years ago. They're a key to some major understanding of Blame, we just don't know what it could be.
>>
>>157509195
cool headcanon

>>157515654
Killy met with the Authority a few times throughout the series. I think it's fair to assume she worked for the Authority.

But if that were the case, wouldn't she have noticed that he wasn't functioning at 100% before Sanakan revived his functionality?

Obviously the original Safeguards were beef'ed up human or construction using specific human's coginitive as the core for the AI. Later on, Safeguard becomes completely non-human since they are no longer avaliable for the network to use.

Another thing I wonder though, was pcell originally also a safeguard. She was in relationship with dhomo. She had a lot of power of a safeguard such as summoning exterminator and gravity tech sword. It seem like the silicon creature neither hjack her directly or stole some data and tech off safeguard and built her as a silicon creature

They were forced to expand and spend time on the expendable fisher people / expand their human qualities because of the movie constraint. I constantly wished they'd devote less time and have them all die faster but I guess it was an unreal expectation to have in the end. Very nice to see Killey Cibo and Sanaka given form though.

As everyone else has said, the only way they could reinforce the bleakness which is the heart of the work is to make this an episode based show and do some clips of the walking and amount of times things have gone to shit for everyone.

I got it cheap; retail value is way higher. I'm not a sheeple so I got the Japanese ATH-W5000s, which are the best thing. That's also why my amp ain't one of them retarded vacuum tube-types, too. Only the best, for the best cost.
>>
>>157515654
Pretty sure she had a purpose before Nihei hammered out the details of the plot he wanted to write. She only appeared once, so of course he forgot about her. He probably only added her to Gakuen and the artbook because the fans seem to always ask about her.

What, do you not have fucking hands?

seeing this many posts for best manga warms my heart

I got excited for a second when I misread Yugo Kanno as Yoko Kanno. Still a good track, though. Still would've preferred a more industrial ost.

He composed Nioh recently which had pretty good music, and he did a great job on this too.

I just need volume 6 of the Tokyopop release and I'll have all 10. I'm keeping up with the Master Edition, too.

Blame! and So On for less than $150 would be a steal at this point, though.

>>157516116
She appeared twice - in the beginning, and in the dream. Then the artbook, then Gakuen. That's 1997, ~2002, 2004, and 2008. He claimed that he didn't even know what character was being referred to when asked about her. That can't possibly be true.

Look, read the artbook note:
>Perhaps the Governing Agency was no longer able to contact Killy since he was acting independently.
>But if that was so, then who was that "Woman with the Dog".....?

She means more than he's letting on. I'm sure about this.
>>
>>157516238
Yeah, he's good, no doubt about that. But muh industrial ost.

>>157516262
Oh, that's pretty cool, actually. Might look up more of the boss themes from Nioh later.
>>
This movie was bad why'd they just leave the ending open like that
>>
>>157516656
Because it's just a tiny part of Killy's journey you dumb fuck. Read the manga.
>>
>>157516238

This is pretty good.
>>
>>157516718
But I watched the movie precisely because I don't want to read the manga. The premise interested me. I watched the movie so I didn't have to spend forever reading a manga

Isnt that the whole point of movies

How you gonna make a movie for a manga and have it be a tiny snippet with an unsatisfying ending?

what happened to sheebo

did killy even live?

they should have just had a happy ending where killy finds the net gene and marries zulu
>>
>>157516797
Well then the problem is with you, not the movie.

The entire point of the movie was to show how Killy's journey affects a small group of people from their perspective instead of focusing on Killy and his journey from his point of view.
>>
I want that automation factory to build harem.

>>157516797
The film is barely even an adaptation of the manga. Read it or go away, you lazy fuck.
>>
>>157516797
Killy's Journey took thousands of years and encompassed walking partway across a city half the size of the solar system. That is not movie material.

It's not really a problem. You can read the manga in 4-6 hours time. I just re-read it today to refresh things.
>>
>>157516970
I really liked that the movie at least showed that Killy was still traveling even two generations later when Zuru's granddaughter was delivering the opening and ending narration.

>>157517027
Honestly I like that they're giving a lot more life to the smaller details and arcs. I feel the manga was way too short. Electro fishers were maybe 20 minutes of your time excluding the second time we see them inside Toha Heavy Industries. I wish it were as long as Berserk.
