If you're interested in the work Nihei did for the movie the setting book is out. Got mine today, it's purely his concept stuff start to finish, really nice. Just makes people's bitter-fueled claims he's gotten lazy even more absurd.

>>157682762
bad =/= lazy

stop feeding him money, and he'll draw something better, you fucking moron

>>157682889
Different =/= Bad

I can do it, too, "moron."

>>157682762
Looking at the changes in the movie, it SHOULD be pretty obvious that Nihei didn't want a direct adaption (which is financially impossible anyway, you know it).
This Blame film is more kin to the Game of Thrones TV show: An interpretation of an old work, a re-telling of a myth.
idiots like >>157681661 and >>157682889 will never accept this because they are too narrow-minded and selfish to consider the author's POV and the reality of the anime industry.

So, instead of "you don't get the work", it's become "you don't get the world". An interesting but futile redirection. How childish.

You know, even when I hate all his works post-Biomega, I can't bring myself to hate him. He deserves all the support he can get, and I want him to be successful, even if that means losing his former style and charisma.
I think he has suffered enough in the past years for not rooting for him in the next ones, like that ungrateful shitty daughter he has.

Is there an official (and HQ) translation and scan of Noise? I'm reading the official Biomega translation now and I'm enjoying it waaaaaaay more than when it originally came out (I gave up somewhere during the second volume), and I could not be more thrilled to start reading the new Blame scans. Same question goes for his other stuff, but Noise first and foremost.

As do I. I'm willing to believe that he didn't draw 'fuller' faces because he didn't know how, but I'm not willing to believe that he drew the eyes like that "because he sucked". Your example, of proper eyes in Blame, was what I was gonna post, too.

A splinter group stole the tech to turn humans into silicon cyborgs from the soon-to-be Admin
They was hunted down by former-Musubi-now-cyborg-Sanakan.
BUt they somehow evolved and became the "parasites" of the city.
What is this group in Blame?

>>157688590
The Netsphere is not an organization. It's a cyberspace. That's it.

The Safeguard is not an organization, either. Many will tell you that it is. It is not. It is akin to an automatic virus-scanning program you would have installed on your computer. It is designed to destroy things which 'trip the wire', as it were. It is nothing more than that.

By the last chapter of NOISE, even though she escaped from the lab, was Sanakan already brainwashed and obeying the Admin? That's how we first met her in Blame after all.

You're joking, right? Nobody should debase themselves by answering that question.

>>157687602

You are free to feel superior to me over a manga. I don't care.

Sure, I'm pretty weak. Why not? I'm not the one trying to prove my intelligence online.

Did Niheis style change when he switched from drawing with pencil to on a tablet?

Surprisingly or not surprisingly, many normies and casuals love the movie and some started reading manga. I think this is not bad. And the main target of the movie is not old fans but those who were not familiar with Nihei.

>>157688632
I have the same question
>Escaped from the Admin lab
>Killed the two Safeguards
>Hunted down the proto-Cyborgs
Then what? By the time we saw her in Blame, she was commmitted to the Admin

>>157688772
I've been watching anime for 15+ years. Never usually bother with manga but decided too after this.

>>157688772
That already happened when pewdiepie said he was a fan of Blame! some month ago.

>>157688792
It's not fucking Sanakan. There's your answer. Nothing other than fan speculation has ever connected them.

If Musubi gets to be Sanakan, then the female face near the end gets to be Cibo-clone.

>>157688772
As it should be.
90% of anime is to get "normies" to pick up the source manga or LNs or games anyway.

I think Hollywood or Unity should buy the right and remake it with this quality.

He's also a big reader of Baki. Go figure.

But, I am curious: do you have a link to the tweet or whatever where he said that? I've looked and I have asked, but I have not found it nor has anyone ever provided the claim's source.

>>157688823
So at the end of Noise, she is like a rogue Safeguards which the Admin has no control over?

>>157688884
Is it confirmed, or just a case of similar-looking faces?

>>157688879
In your dreams.

>>157688853
Yes. She's never verifiably seen again, so it's presumed that she is either dead or simply in a different part of The City. She doesn't need to matter, so I think it more likely the second. 'Her' manga was made to explore the beginning of the disaster, as opposed to exploring her as a character.

>>157688921
Maybe, Nihei's same face syndrome.

>>157688927
Not in my dreams, in my objective opinion.

>>157688897
>>157688909
Thank you, both.

>>157688921
Similar-looking faces. And they're not even that similar. The top and bottom ones are some of the most obscene stretches that I've ever seen. Killy is, canonically, not some kidnapped kid. He was a police officer when the disaster began.

>>157688615
where does it say in the manga she is sanakan?

>>157688921
Nah, not confirmed, and it's not like Nihei cares. He once said Killy was some kind of police and other time he said he was never a human and he was 100% artificial, like Dhomochevsky.

nigger, they mentioned the net terminal genes and that's enough. the overall plot is a incomprehensible mess even in the manga, and it depends on the inclusion of the whole supporting cast.

in case you can't tell, they went with teh MAD MAX formula. That way the moie stands on it's own, but still allows for a sequel if they want to make one

For me Suzumega and Zeb-Noid are equally good. I liked more the plot of Zeb-Noid, though, I think it could have worked well in as a series even with the harem shenanigans that Nihei put in Sidonia. ywn have a harem of fly-girl waifus

After one battle, you are alone, injured and in the middle of nowhere, and you know you are at the verge of death.
Then, you discover that the enemy you swore to kill, one of those horrible abominations, is in reality a cute girl. More than that, a 10/10 cute girl and waifu material.
Now don't tell your sexual insticts won't kick in at that moment, because that would be a lie.

does nihei understand blame?

>>157690520
Does he understand the significance of the work? No.
Does he understand the material itself, far more than we do? Yes.

I think it's because nips have shit tastes.
If Nihei hired proper agent and work for some western franchise, he would be far richer and win his daughter's eternal respect.

>>157690808
Why do people think that Nihei has completely dedicated his existence to gaining the eternal respect of his daughter.

>>157690520
I think Nihei is a bit like Araki. They keep forgetting stuff about their former series and they can't draw in their former styles, anymore.

>>157690859
>implying he hasn't

>>157690859
He never talks about his private life. He only tweeted about his family when his daughter told him that he should have drawn a good manga like Shingeki no Kyojin.

>>157690623
yes, I think he does not understand how important his work is, not only for manga fans.

Maybe you guys dont know, he studied architecture. In japan there was a architecture movement in the 60s called Metabolism which predicted the automatic expansion of buildings and cities.
Blame! is probably the last metabolic work coming from japan. That being said, his work is super important

>>157691142
I had a hunch that you were Japanese, but wasn't sure until now. I didn't know about that Japanese architecture movement, though; that's interesting.

Nihei studied architecture in New York, right? So, can you confirm or deny that he understands at least some English? I find it hard to believe that he managed to get by in New York with literally no English.

>>157691142
>Metabolism
Huh? I thought Nihei's architecture was based on Brutalism.

>>157691183
He mentioned in an interview that he just hung out with other japs and didnt really put much effort into learning english.

>>157691209
A translated interview, or something hard to find?

>>157691183
not japanese, but Im an architect and I live in japan for 4 years.

I dont know where he studied architecture, i tried to find though, but I could not find. Nonetheless, the metabolic style was famous and still is in Tokyo University, maybe thats the clue?

>>157691189
brutalism looks heavy and boxy, concrete volumes. In his manga you can say it is brutalist in terms of shape, but the concept of expanding comes from Metabolic style, this style is original to japan and represent the modern architecture movement in japan.

If you are interest, you can check the work of Kenzo tang (tokyo bay project ) and Kisho Kurukawa (nakagin capsule tower) to name a few

>>157691271
You're some sort of asian, at least.

Nihei definitely studied architecture in the US, but that's not necessarily the only place where he studied architecture. I'm sure he went there after having already learned a considerable amount in Japan.

>>157691312
I was out of japan for 6 months for business, I dont think its in tethers, only netflix,

Now people never pay only 1 Cent for copyrighted contents...
It is hard to make money

I don't think I'll get an answer anywhere else through any means, so I might as well ask here:
Are there any known plans for an English release of the re-release of Abara?
If there aren't, then somebody's gonna have to scanlate it, right? Which means that someone will have to scan it. I happen to have a copy of the remastered Abara, and *might* be willing to debind it and scan it and all if that were to be necessary for a rescanlation of Abara to happen, but I don't want to hurt something so dear to me if it could, in any way, turn out to be unnecessary.

Better question is why they didn't just build more of those safeguard repellents and then just make a safe path from the village to the universal fabricator so they could come back any time.

>>157696105
Do you have Net Terminal Genes?
If yes you won't be at least purged immediately.
Assuming you have some kind of privileges attached you might get some but you need to realize that safeguards are not exactly optimized for being companion bots so you'd be better off asking an automated factory for one of those that looks like Sanakan instead.

>>157698270
How would that help in any way when Sanakan already murdered Tae and got 'inside'?

>>157698370
That happened after they got their rations. Also for whatever reason Sanakan had/chose to destroy the safeguard repellent before she got her full body so having more would probably have been useful in any case.

So about the reason the people never went down under.

The one grandmother said her husband was like controlled and died there.
What was that supposed to hint?

>>157698319
How would a safeguard even react to a human with NTG? Do you need an actual connection before you can start dishing out orders?

>>157698477
Cibo was probably broadcasting shit over the radio waves, and showing holograms like the one she showed to Killy to anyone who might be listening as a SOS kind of thing. That woman's husband probably got spooked and slipped and fell off the edge. Either that or he died in a completely unrelated accident.

>>157688772
>normies

Stop polluting Blame! threads with this shit
No one cares you piece of shit

>>157698621
They'd probably completely ignore them. People with NTG aren't even on their radar since they are automated and really just there to deal with people who don't have it. You'd probably have to go up the chain and ask specifically for a safeguard to do something rather than instruct them directly. But then again that's baseless speculation.

>>157688971
I think you're confusing the author's first attempt at a Blame! series which is a single chapter and features a "Killy" that is a cop dealing with apparent cyber issues. As the mangaka often does, he copy-pastes looks and organizations and names etc. because he likes being self-referential. There's nothing that canonically connects that into the main Blame! canon.

so he's actually human? He possesses human organs and genitalia and all that?

>>157700701

>>157699083
This is back when Killy was notably more human (yet demented: hey, check it out, I'm literally stealing candy from babies who I will then mercilessly murder with a shit-eating grin on my face!) and actually gave a crud about eating. I'm not sure these early chapters should even be considered part of the canon. Nihei seems to change his mind about a number of fundamental and significant details about the setting and Killy.

>>157700488
You're trying to tell me that a manga about tentacle monsters from beyond the stars isn't intentionally using phallic symbols at every opportunity? Absurd! Next you're going to tell me that Tsugumi's prehensile talking penis-tentacle isn't really a penis-tentacle.

never understood why there was such confusion over the kid, he leads a massive safeguard drone army to massacre the village up the steps a chapter later. the only other thing that could do that is a either human with a net terminal gene or a higher level safeguard.

sure he acts slightly different than later safeguards(getting your head exploded is usually an instant kill for anything in blame, he doesn't attack killy) but i just put that to nihei still working out the kinks in what he wanted the safeguards to become in his story.

It's on CDJapan but the shipping is far more expensive there, unless you're willing to wait on SAL.

In this case buying it from Amazon JP is easy because the book can be shipped internationally, no need for a proxy. Making an account only requires your email, no JP address. You can switch the language to English at the very bottom of the page.

I only just noticed Cibo is still with the fishers at the end. Makes whatever she dropped for Killy even more of a mystery.

Fucking pleb.

>>157724856
Looks whos talking.

>>157721314
There is a pic of a scene where Arm-Cibo is dropping some kind of stick to Killy. Maybe she duplicated her memory and Killy has USB-Cibo as a companion.

>>157721910
Gakuen Cibo best Cibo.

>>157721161
It ends just after that fight funny enough

>>157719512
>>157721117
Imagine one of these but in webm format. I think you could fit 30 minutes with that style.

Just saw it. It was great. Only minus against it is Cibo's personality change. Really weird how they made her all cool, when in the manga she gets very emotional when we first meet her.

It's not Sanakan.

>>157728850
>It's not Sanakan
We don't know that, she could be Sanakan.

>>157729219
It's not Sanakan.

>>157729219
Yeah, thinking about it I guess it could be. It really doesn't harm the story at all if it was. It was my first reaction to deny the idea simply because it never occurred to me when I read NOiSE so long ago.

>>157729260
They look really similar. If someone wants to believe it's Sanakan there's really no reason to say "nuh uh" because it's not all that important if she is or isn't.

>>157729260
>>157729275
Even if she is not Sanakan, what happened to that girl, anyway? She had a OP as fuck weapon, she couldn't have been killed that easy.

>>157729349
> what happened to that girl, anyway?
She's Sana-kan

>>157729275
There is no *reason* for Musubi to be Sanakan and Nihei has never said anything to imply that it is Sanakan. The whole idea of The City is that things are infinitely separate and never repeat themselves or recur. Musubi is simply not seen again. That is the significant factor of her contribution.

>>157729420
This, really though. I don't get why some people just come up with shit without any source evidence and treat it as fact. This kind of thing keeps happening in Blame! threads and I swear sometimes I think it's the same person because of the similar speculation.

>>157729420
>The whole idea of The City is that things are infinitely separate and never repeat themselves or recur

Like the Killy construct that goes after Killy in the last chapter of Blame!? Or Sana-kan's rebirth? Don't be silly.
> Musubi is simply not seen again. That is the significant factor of her contribution.
It's not significant enough for it to not be Sana-kan. I don't actually care if it is or isn't, that's how insignificant the point is because if Musubi is Sana-kan, it has ZERO bearing on the story or character interactions. If she is not, same result. Y'all can argue among yourselves about something so petty.

RIP Observer. You were too pure for this world.

>>157729504
>It's not significant enough for it to not be Sanakan.
That's not the sense of "significant" that I was using.

>if Musubi is Sana-kan, it has ZERO bearing on the story or character interactions. If she is not, same result.
Then there is no reason to say or value in saying that she is Sanakan.

>>157729601
Agreed. But fans wanna be fans know what I mean?

>his waifu is a hand
Really anon?

>>157730563
Well I gotta hand it to him, he picked a waifu who would probably be pretty handy to have around the house. Though I suppose Cibo might be the type to take the hands off approach to housework, though I doubt she'd be adverse to lending a hand every now and then. All in all I can count the number of quality waifus in Blame on one hand, and she's the best one, hands down!

>>157718744
>you will never be so obsessed with the NetSphere that you attempt a connection to it just as an skilled hacker gets BTFO in base reality, so when you finally see FUCKING NOTHING in the NetSphere, you are promptly notified that the silicon nigger stole data that is going to be downloaded right through your ass, and you will cease to exist, because you fucked up bitch, and this will invariably fuck things up for everyone, as after you get your forehead lesbian sex, you'll be raped into oblivion to make more silicons with the level 9 data, making the autismal manlet job way more difficult, but everybody will claim your degeneracy is justified as it created NTG, to connect to a place you will never, ever, see.

>>157731619
That got out of hand quickly.

>>157730563
That would be masturbation but without your own hands.

>>157732285
Yeah, sorry I overplayed my hand.

>>157731785
It's really neat how the netsphere is hyped up as this unreachable avalon for the entirety of the series, but you only ever actually see it depicted twice - the flashback to cibo's experiment with the subject spawning in the field of grass before getting gibbed by safeguard, and then in metaphor when davine is crossing the river trying to authenticate.
