Digital version of the original japanese, I don't need to read it I just need the highest quality so I can get the best art scan off it.

/tv/ pleb here, loved the fuck out of the movie. I'm assuming the Fishers were just a small episode of the overarching plot, right? Would the new master editions be a decent time investment or does the story tank at some point? Been looking for a long GN like Akira or Cerebus to settle into.

The manga is kino by definition. Relatively unknown, GOAT art direction, incredible tone and pacing, convoluted plot that needs to be explained after reading/reread a few times to understand.

It's honestly incredible, definitely worth a few hours to sit down and read it all.

Just finished the movie; I knew it was going to suck and I was still disappointed. Low budget, ugly CGI, and weird discontinuities aside, I was at least hoping for some ultra-violent action. There was 1 decent action scene and everything was toned down for a teenage audience. Truly, a terrible studio.

>>157519574
The story starts off slow in the first couple volumes, but gets better and better until the (fantastic) ending. There are about 5 major plot arcs - they took 1 of them (the electro-fishers), combined parts from 2 others, and then forgot to finish the electro-fisher arc anyway.

said E= mc^2 means a lot of energy is released when matter is broken down, but matter can also be constituted when you have a lot of energy. It's how heavy metals are formed in a solar furnace or in principle how SEU's body regenerator/factory works.

Killy acquired another child to sacrifice to the terminal gods. The manga ends with him taking the child back into The City to reach a terminal and SAVE THE WORLD. So, his journey isn't even over at the end of the manga. But, he does succeed, eventually. Canon from NSE and Blame 2.

Mori isn't technically her name, but that's what we call her since she didn't have a name. She says here that she was retrieved from a preservation device, so it must have been Mori. She also had memories of the sphere and said it was produced "by two females" which is kind of a weird thing to say about yourself.

I had presumed since she couldnt remember her real name, she couldnt also remember thr details of what was exactly in the sphere. But honestly, having it be another person would mean the NTG girl would probably inherit Sanakan and Cibo"s personality, traits and possibly their memories.

best girl

>>157522294
Honestly, as it was framed in the film, I just thought it was some thing that would start the elevator. She doesn't really have any means of pressing a normal-height button or anything, so she dropped an electric thing that it would detect and which would cause it to activate. Wasn't until afterwards that I started to consider that it might have been something else.

>>157522294
I'm getting deja vu here... Wasn't there a one-shot where the electro-fishers escaped with Cibo, while she was stuck in some weird form? Did Nihei write that one?

>>157522480
As I recall, Cibo sent the fishers off herself. Killy wasn't even there at the time.

>>157522425
She presses buttons to call the car, though, and she seems to be standing on the console. I doubt it was something as irrelevant as that.

Humanity figured out how to gain energy from gravity. And since you can't really "use up" or "spend" gravity, its basically an infinite power source. They also have tech that can create matter out of energy.

So Infinite energy= Infinite matter. Technology in the City is so far ahead that some of the malfunctioning machines have the capability of accidentally destroying space and time itself if they won't get fixed.

So, just to confirm, it's pronounced "Blammy", right?

No, just Seu. And the records of some stuff that I don't remember off the top of my head. What I'm talking about happens just before that; after the president or whatever of Toha teleports the actual cave itself. Mensab gives the people warning, and they go to escape pods. Here's Cibo saving them from the teleportation, see? After this chapter, Killy and Cibo chat with Mensab, and *then* they go into slipspace.

>>157523540
The reason the 12fps CGI looks like shit is a lot of the frames don't have wipes or stretches like traditional animation so you never get fooled into thinking it's fluid motion. It's a legitimate complaint that they didn't put enough effort into that aspect of the animation.

Theres so much Cibo in her that the girl might be multiple personalities merged together, like she says herself, many other personalities were written over hers. So a mix of Cibo and Mori, maybe even a bit of Sanakan.

Not to mention how its a fitting ending for Cibo to finally get to enter the Netsphere she always obsessed about, but gets stuck in there until Killy fixes things.

Gentle love making, holding hands, 17 million hours of snuggling.

Just look at this lewd robot, pregnant and still ready to jump you at a moment's notice. Her eyes tell the whole story.

At first I thought I'd be annoyed, but combining the Electrofisher arc and plucking the only good parts of the abandoned level arc out for backstory was a good decision. They even managed to make the Sanakan bit better by having her hide as an electrofisher instead of being a random kid Killy picked up.

Don't know how I feel about the removal of Toha though, but if they had kept that they would have needed another movie all together just to finish the electrofisher arc.

>>157524792
Robots can't get pregnant.

>>157524589

Well his quest succeeded so his "suffering" pretty much ended. But he went on a whole another different adventure right afterwards with an unknown objective.

The ending of Blame! is pretty brilliant, back to square 1 from where he started from the very first book, acquiring a kid with Net Terminal Genes that he has to escort somewhere. Although this time around there weren't two Silicon shitheads there to ruin everything for him and force him to start from scratch again.

>>157525026
I had a Blame! dream last night. It wasn't pleasant.

>>157525026

I wouldn't mind if they would make this a series of films where they just do a slightly adjusted versions of the story arcs in a movie format. Like Cibo tags along Killy after the elevator and they head towards Toha.

>>157524835
Try harder

>>157525081
Small dark hall ways with twists and turns and just distant sounds and falling metal without knowing if there's a silicone creature or Cibo around the bend?

>>157525094
If I was gonna do a movie I'd start at the elevator girl scene and modify her design a tiny bit to make it clear she isn't Cibo. Tiny bit of expository dialogue from her about what Killy's looking for, allude to the "it's 6000 levels up" thing and then begin the 2-hour walkathon. End the movie at the end of the Toha Heavy Industries Arc. 20 minutes of intro, 20 minutes of freeing Cibo, 80 minutes of Toha Heavy Industries, maybe a little more.

That should be enough time to introduce Sanakan, show alternate timeline Cibo, show what fucking assholes the Silicon life is, show SEU being an autistic white knight, have some trippy netsphere sequences, etc.

>>157525124

You're a safeguard now anon. Don't go back to base reality.

>>157522034
Is there an artbook of the movie already?

>>157525215
I concur. If you look at/read the CGWORLD article and some of the other stuff on the matter, you see that they didn't really put much effort into the Safeguards' movement. They put like 8 different possible running frames, which is ridiculous.

>>157525215
They were too clean, I always imagine them as being this horrendous mixture of biologic and robotic functions and slight bloat, here they just looked like robots.

>>157525236
I just want to snuggle with Cibo, why does the safeguard keep cucking me?

>>157525180

You could easily explain away that Cibo finds yet another new body for her from somewhere and catches up with Killy. Maybe even use the idea of the manga that she outright steals Sanakan's body for herself.

Not sure about the walk-a-thon though, since Toha by itself would be a decent enough independent arc for a 2 hour movie. And theres plenty to walk around there, especially in the Gravity-Furnace sub-arc.

So some of you think Cibo and Sanakan could be recreated? weren't their consciousnesses and data completely destroyed after Killy fullpower'd the first-class?

>weren't their consciousnesses and data completely destroyed after Killy fullpower'd the first-class?
No, the lady in the backup world is almost certainly made of at least part of either one of them.
They're both still around in some form.

I grabbed it from the 2chan BLAME! threads.

Why didn't killy shoot Sanakan when he was aiming at her from the stairs?

>>157526212
Couldn't get a good aim from that far away? After a second she was obscured by debris.

>>157526212
People were between them and he didn't have a clear visual.

>>157525263
There wasn't enough grunge and hardly any of the brutal gore in the manga done to the fishermen. Nor were there any bugs or any of the nano-scale reconstruction or roughshod bio-mechanical visions. Maybe it comes down to budget but it was another thing absent with the time constraints for giving proper scale and bleakness.

>>157526212
The same icons that appear in Sanakan's HUD when she's using wallhacks to blast people through the building appear behind her in Killy's HUD, meaning that he sees the villagers behind her. The red circle displayed shows the blast radius of the GBE, and there would be a lot of collateral damage if he took the shot. He's not completely heartless

>>157520066
They've rendered all the planets down into raw materials, and its stated at one point in either Blame itself or Noise that raw materials continue to be shipped in from beyond the city.

>>157519574
Blame is definitely worth the read, just don't expect to get much exposition. They crammed a large chunk of all the exposition leading up to and including the Electro-fisher story (which takes place in volume 3) into the film, and adapted other parts to fit Cibo in without going through her entire story (volume 2).

They still did a pretty good job all things considered. I like the Cibo maintains her habit of going through bodies like most people go through socks.

>>157525333
Yeah, crab scuttling wasn't what I had in mind.

>>157526831
The movie revives the franchise, whether we like it or not. I watch the movie with my 50s Dad and he likes it. He went nuts when the cowboy song came out. Gave me money for blu-ray if it's out. Both of us speak Japanese. Anyone knows when will release be ?

Doesn't seem to mesh well with her ambitious nature and general lack of empathy (at least in the film).

It has nothing to do with being 2D animation or 3D animation its about poor timing and not having skilled animators who know how to produce limited animation that still looks good. Nobody complains about the "frame rate" for anime because 2D animators have a lot of experience in dealing with this shit. 3D animators generally have a different skill set that mostly doesn't include knowledge like that. The majority of applications of 3D are in settings where limited animation is not desirable.

>>157525395
It's probably from the book that is coming out with all the art that Nihei has done for the film in it.

By this same studio? Hopefully never.

Biomega was even more violent than BLAME; can you imagine how hard they'd have to try to censor that? Cinematic angles and lens flares everywhere to hide the blood, and the DRF's butcher uniform would probably be made to look like ice cream salesmen.

I stand by my statement. A third of Oblivion is literally just Tom Cruise wandering a blasted out Earth

>>157530433

>>157530433
A budget large enough would necessitate too much pandering to wider audiences and all the things that make Blame! as good as it is would be forsaken (slow pacing, subtlety, challenging plot, atmosphere, character design, gore, etc. etc.)

The closest live action I can think that would be the right sort of direction is Tarkovsky's Stalker.

Does governing agency and safeguard have physical headquarters somewhere in the city? They all can't be living in the virtual space. They must've have someone guarding their HDD

>>157531063
I cant remember if its ever said but id imagine they have so many "main bases" and back up servers that its futile to even try to disable to whole network. Destroy one and itll just make a new one somewhere else.

I thought it was said the whole of the netsphere is housed within the megastructure

>>157531063
safeguard are mostly autonomous
governing agency cannot control them and probably don't want to anyway
they are necessary for order

Safeguard literally doesn't care about anything else other than eliminating squatters. At least until Domo and Iko were deployed by someone who wasn't a completely braindead safeguard high ranking officer. Even then they were sent to a dead level where they can't do much anyway except Domo boinking Pcell on daily basis

>>157531995

Were the netsphere coders retarded?

>>157532232
Every single human had the net terminal gene before things went tits up, so the designers probably thought that those without it weren't human so fuck them. Or maybe the plague fucked the safeguard system

>>157532232
Probably doesn't include the complete mutation of the entire human race as a variable

>>157531529

Their directives override everything. Kinda like how Killy never really says "fuck it, this is impossible!", but continues his quest for all eternity.

Its an anti-spyware/antivirus program that has gone nuts, and proclaimed anyone who lacks the Net Terminal Genes as a target. You can kinda see from Dhomo and Iko that Safeguard used to protect people.

For some reason Safeguard became the Judge Death of Blame!

It's actually a compelling reason to not do such a thing, you give it a reasonable ability to adapt but if you make it truly intelligent then it will simply act on self-preservation/self serving instincts.

Loyalty to what? Programmers who told you their race's priorities trumped your own existence? You can't project human behaviour on true AI because until it exists, nobody knows what it'll do.

Why was Tea so fucking useless?

Sanakan, Cibo...

I want a robot harem!

The manga is called BLAME! because the gun makes BLAM when it shoots, so why does it do FWOOSH in the movie? I didn't pay to hear FWOOSH. Well I didn't pay anything at all to watch this movie but you know I would have preferred to hear some BLAMING instead FWOOSHING because there is a time and place for BLAM and FWOOSH and this was definitely a BLAM scenario here.

>>157533416

I was kinda against an adaptation because it didn't seem BLAME would translate well into anime format.
But by making it its own thing and shifting focus away from Killy a bit it worked out a lot better than expected.


Also the actual animation was well done. A big improvement over Sidonia.

It's a psychological thriller about a married couple blaming each other.
