Just finished Rereading Blame! and was wondering if anyone watched

Movie was good, had more dialogue and named characters than the entire manga, but that was kinda necessary.

I believe someone said the Manga takes place over about 3000 years

>>158720792
Better than the manga.

>>158721689
>>158721700
did it get to cover the whole manga?

It was mediocre.

>>158721761
no

it covers a retelling of the "fishermen" arc

>>158721761
Not even close, it covers a handful of pages from the manga around the Toba Heavy Industries part, but only the parts about the humans.

Its basically a mad max movie, killy finds a group of survivors and Cibo, trys to fix things, but only ends up helping them escape, then disappears back into the city never to be seen again.

>>158720792
The manga is just one story of Killy running into some people in the city.
It has some dull parts but the high points are REALLY good. Definitely worth the watch (like 7.5/10).

Also another movie has been confirmed a few days ago.

>>158721838
>>158721847
>>158721898
I will watch it then, is the next movie a sequel then?
I wonder why a Blame anime has never beend done, I'd assume that with the current method of taking a 3D scenario and working around of it, things would have made it easier for it to happen

Why is Killy even more autistic than usual in the movie?

>>158721975
Because people other than Cibo talk to him (or try to) in the movie

>>158721963
probably because Blame has very little actual 'plot', there are like 7 named characters in the entire thing, the plot takes place over a few millenia and millions of miles, and at least half of the manga is infrastructure porn. None of that translates well into a series, but I think a handful of movies could wrap it up pretty well

>>158720792
>also anyone has some info on how much time passes throught the events in the manga?

I think at one point it is revealed Killy and Cibo spent a hundred years or so riding a fucking elevator to the next level of the Megastructure

>>158723370
Nah it was like a couple hundred hours which passed between two frames

>>158723370
That's a misconception due to an akward transition from a flashback showing domochevski to killy on the elevator. It was like a week or two.

>>158723522
He said 800 hours, right? or was it 8000?

>>158723370
Their elevator ride only took 800 hours. The 250 years was the time between the Dhomo flashback and the present.

>>158723596
>>158723927

I'm aware of that elevator ride. I must have probably imagined there being another where the narration bubble states a ridiculous amount of seconds having passed.

>>158721689
alright

Post sanakan screw butt

>>158726703
u

>>158724163
That was at the end when killy comes out of recovery mode after being blown up wasn't it?

>>158724163
There was that 3000km high staircase and that empty void the size of Jupiter too.

Killy's a very patient man.

>>158724163
That is the timeskip after Dhomo and Schiff's fight, as I recall.

>>158720792
it was actually pretty okay and did a nice need plot dump in places, however, it nerfed Kili's character to someone like D from Vampire hunter D, it was too obvious he was a machine when you first meet him.

in the manga he still shows emotions and just comes of as sunder human.

>>158720792
the electro fisher girls were too hot.

>>158720792
Reading the Master Edition as we speak.
GOAT manga

>>158729529
>GOAT manga
Yeah, mostly. And then there's the ending...

>>158729671

>>158720792
yep, the movie was great

Cibo had a hard life.

So about that empty void the size of Jupiter.
The common interpretation here is that the city was built around Jupiter and slowly drained the gas until only that void remained, right?

>>158729845
the electro fisher gear look pretty bad ass

>>158729814
They can teleport material; how the structure progressed past the moon is never brought into question because it is random and chaotic.

>>158729814
there was probably enough gravity that the gas of the Jupiter just got absorbed into the city

>>158729882
Yeah, but I always thought the purpose of that void was to show how far the city has spread.
A room the exact size of Jupiter just doesn't make sense, even in the city, unless Jupiter itself was somehow involved with its creation. So the only explanation, at least in my eyes, has always been that Jupiter once occupied that empty space because the city has absorbed the planet.
This makes that room the only time we're given a rough estimate of Killy's loaction in the city.

>>158730093
>the only explanation, at least in my eyes, has always been that Jupiter once occupied that empty space
That's almost outright said in the manga. Of course that's what happened. If you just want to know how far The City has spread, read the artbook notes. No reason to speculate about building plans or whatever.

Except he's not a machine, he's an enhanced human cyborg.

>>158732882
Just ignore people who say that he's a robot or a Silicon or a Safeguard or whatever. I've learned to do it, and it's brought a certain degree of peace to my mind.

You're right, of course. It just never ceases to amaze me how a manga with so little clutter can generate so much confusion in its readers. It's not like it's Five Star Stories-tier in complexity enough that headcanoning isn't just encouraged, it's a given.

The coolest thing of the setting is how there is so many civilizations in between levels that have never heard of others, like the trading capital with that corporation where Killy finds Cibo and the Fisherman place

>>158736894
I shudder to think how many cultures perished during Killy's journey that no one even knew existed, whether to Safeguard or Silicon Life. No one remembers their songs, or even if they made music. No one remembers their words, even if they could read and write. Killy's distance from his own humanity is like a microcosm of what happened to humanity entirely throughout the City. Hard to keep up hope in such a condition.

>>158737051
They were scum without NTG so who cares

>>158737051
the scale of Killy's journey is pretty damn insane, it takes a whole new level of "hope" to think he was going to find some pure human after thousand of years wandering
Who knows how much he walked before the manga started

>>158737164
Silicon shill, please. Just because your abominable cult are cultureless swine doesn't excuse your complicity in the systemic erasure of humanity's history and accomplishments in your mad quest for complete control.

>>158720792
it was aight

>>158740209
>Killy hiding from an enemy that small and seemingly-weak
>Killy hiding at all
I think the only time he ever hides from anything in the manga is when he's fighting Sanakan at the end of volume 3, and he hides for like one second.

>>158732882
yeah, but int he manga he made rash decision, showed limited empathy, compassiona nd emotion, he was easier to relate to becaseu her was clearly human. in this film, he is emotionless and robotic. Kinda like D, a traveling badass. I know the human elements come from the electro fishers, but it sucks that Killy was nerfed to do so.

>>158737051
what's sick is the the safe guard just kill illegal or none citizens, its basically an automated immigration control system gone wrong...

>>158730757
well, for starters Killy being a literall cuck

I feel like the people behind the movie sat down and really tried to figure out what people like about the original before production. The movie is not ideal, but it's good.

Does anyone have a somewhat comprehensive list of stuff that's canon? I read the manga and a couple of other chapters from another thingy (NTE and Blame2) a few months ago and I watched the movie today. Wondering if there's any other stuff to occupy myself with

OP here, just finished watching the movie
Enjoyable overall, even with all the story liberties they took, mostly with Cibo. Except everything related to the fishermen acting like the most cliche shit ever
>I will look for our comrad!
>I will have a breakdown because a girl
really awful

>>158744312
I liked that they didn't have enough money to make safeguards' spawning very detailed like in manga, so they took a different approach and discussed it stating that it smells funny when they spawn. Details like that made the movie.

>>158744272
Everything in the main line of works is canon. Gakuen, the film, and things like that are not. That's about it.

Movie Killy has the outfit, face and stoicism of Killy at the very end of the manga after the big fight where he had to recover for decades.

In the manga Killy starts of as almost completely human in behavior with all the emotional baggage that comes attached with it. Over the course of the manga his emotional responses decrease, or at least the degree to which he lets them show do. By the last few chapters he is the very same he was in the movie.
