Tsutomu Nihei Manga 'Blame!' Receives Anime Movie Adaptation

The wraparound jacket of the 15th and final volume of Tsutomu Nihei's Sidonia no Kishi manga, which will go on sale on November 20, has announced that another of Nihei's works, Blame!, will receive an anime movie adaptation.

Blame! was serialized in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine between 1998 and 2003. It was also published in English by the now-defunct North American publisher Tokyopop between 2005 and 2007. That release won the Harvey Award for Best American Edition of Foreign Material.

Previous adaptations include a net animation series in 2006, a prologue OVA in 2007, and an inserted scene in the eighth episode of Sidonia no Kishi: Daikyuu Wakusei Seneki earlier this year.

Synopsis
Killy is a man of few words. He wanders, seemingly endlessly, through a lonely, gargantuan labyrinth of concrete and steel, fighting off cyborgs and other futuristic nightmares, searching only for something called Net Terminal Genes. And he has a very powerful gun, which he uses without hesitation whenever anything resembling danger rears its ugly head.

Who is this quiet, violent, determined man and what are these Genes he seeks? The small communities he finds tucked into the crevices of this towering, dystopic ruin hardly give him leads on his treasure, driving him to find larger enclaves of civilization where people can reveal more about the world he lives in and the quarry he seeks.

I hope not. But it's from the same creator that did Sidonia so fuck…

I haven't read Blame but it's highly acclaimed, so I'll be expecting this.

I don't really care what the movie does, as long as I get some good Blame action in anime form it's going to be gucci. It definitely won't be as good as the manga nor can it tell the whole story, but if it shows some parts from the manga like the existing OVAs do but with better animation and retains the magic of the manga's atmosphere it's going to be great

WOW! After so many years.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Probably going to be a CG film by Polygon Pictures unfortunately, really hope I'm wrong and Madhouse decide to do it (a man can dream right? Although that one dream was already crushed by the Gantz CG film..). Well will wait for a staff announcement and PV before I decide if I'll watch it or not.

HOLY SHIT, WHAT?!


This is huge, but I am very, VERY sceptical if they can actually adapt it in any shape or form. The narrative structure and emphasis on architecture is not exactly something I want to entrust most anime studios with...

I really hope they don't fuck this up. It's one of my favourite manga.

Seems interesting, so I might check this out.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

I'm so glad to hear this! It'll be amazing if they can pull it off. If not... then we will just discreetly push it to the back of a dusty cupboard and never touch it again.

it's probably not going to look shit like Sidonia if the Blame PV from Sidonia ep 8 is anything to go by. Plus it's a movie. At least Polygon Pictures can do great sound design which is something a Blame anime really needs

"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

If it's CG, then the future for anime isn't really looking that bright.
