rvbrick said: Yeah, the actual Katakana for the title is ブラム or Blam. Not sure why he added an e to it to make the official English title Blame. Katakana for blame is ブレイム.... It's meant to be onomatopoeia representing the sound of firing a gun (blam) but english education in Japan isn't exactly top notch. |
| in my opinion there was too much attention on the humans, the music was ridiculous they should have used some industrial stuff it was fine |
 |
| This film is very scientific correct, most of it is not fiction at all. But anyone think this is cyberpunk must have a second thought, this is actually post-cyber settings. Now it is network-human/half-machine-AI-atomic dispenser and accumulator. |
 |
| A masterpiece. Give us the part 2 already |
| You will soon learn that a heart that choose to exist, even in a life filled with pain, will one day allow us to meet again. With the world's blessings, we will meet again and again, forever returning to the homeworld we've yet to see. Many, many times.  |
| Cibo is my waifu Ehrm, sorry. Loved the manga and just watched the movie. It's great. It's like a cross between Mad Max and The Matrix. I think it's good that they focused on a single arc from the manga and made electro-fisher the protagonists with Killy just passing through (Fury Road, anyone?). 3DCG looked surprisingly good, highly detailed too. Also Cibo is voiced by Kana Hanazawa. If you prefer subs, that's pretty much all you need to know about this movie (actually the VAs in this are all great). |
| I simply want more. Nothing from the studio on their plans to make a continuation so far, I take it? Can we even hope? |
| ったく、嫌な世の中だよ。 |
| I enjoyed the animation and watched it problem free through netlflix so I gave it an extremely generous 7/10 where a 6/10 is probably about as high as it really should be rated. Thought it needed to have the back story animated to actually care about it. Maybe if I had read the manga it would have given me a care factor but I can't see that being a legitimate requirement to enjoying an anime. |
| It was very. I hope we get more movies or TV series |
| I knew this wouldn't be nearly as good as manga because of the runtime but this was still disappointing. The movie is just a cheap action flick that fails to capture what made the source material great in the first place. Killy's personality is also nowhere as robotic the movie made it seem to be. 5/10 |
| Tae-chan, Tae-chan, Tae-chan...Oh snap, different universe. |
 |
| Yeah, it could've been better, but still it's cool. They changed the plot from manga to fit it in 1 movie and they did a decent job.... It was a fun ride. 7/10 |
| ok :p |
| It was a good movie. Not the best one, but still very good. I have read just the very beginning of the manga, but since the movie was coming i decided to wait for it. I know a good amount of things were changed, but Sidonia also had some things changed in the anime and i actually liked those changes more than the original (the anime had a better pace early, but the manga is still awesome). |
I despise woke people. |
| They did a great job making Blame boring. I just wanted the manga's fast-paced action and best girl Sanakan. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| World building is just like an apocalyptic Matrix style wherein Killy, a high level Safeguard cyborg has gone rouge... Polygon Pictures really knows what they're doing and specializing this kinds of Animation of very high detail! 5/5. 8/10. |
 |
| Netflix advertises the manga as 'visually impossible' to adapt. After watching this movie, I agree. |
| Well compared to the ova episodes this movie sure was impressive! Even though I'm not a too huge fan of CGI anime, I must say that the job was impressively done here, especially in the environment! All in all a great movie with lovely progression and interesting characters, a good half closed ending to give room for a possible sequel at any time, but closed enough to have a great finished feeling after watching this. So all in all a very good movie I must say with a great setting! |
 |
| @Khaled1323: This movie is pretty self-contained, but if you like it definitely check out the source manga because it explains the world more properly and only a selected small part of the plot was adapted. Alternatively, you can check out Blame! ONA if you want to be confused even more Re: this movie and its animation, what I found kind of weird is that fps jump up and down in various scenes. Hamakami said: For a comparison of what should be "Expected" from CGI animation of this nature, look up "Paths of hate." Thanks for the interesting perspective! But I think if this movie had the level of CG animation Paths of Hate had it would probably cost more than the latest Transformers movie (which is ironic, probably). This time animation was uneven even during parts of the same movie... But hell, I'm just happy to get SOME adaptation of Blame! (same with Berserk, really). I also agree that sound design was very good (Gravitational Beam Emitter sounded pretty much how I imagined!) |
| Really cool movie, thoroughly enjoyed it. I love sci-fi with dystopian themes. I havent read the manga or anything. I stumbled upon a video by Pewdiepie praising the manga, and that led me to searching for it on MAL. Which led me to Netflix and the anime adaptation. |
| So disappointing and underwhelming This is not how Killy is like They changed some of the things that I liked the manga for. I didn't like the soundtrack as well.The only things I liked are the Environment and some of the action. 6/10 Not looking forward to a sequel, If they ever plan to do one. |

| i think i always liked movie with this kind of setting : underground,post apocalypse ,and those kind (maybe i'd like the world to end) its good i guess , wish to know more about killy though , i havent read the manga |
| why did safeguards appear at the ending scene? killy was still with them, safeguards should ignore them. |
| They clearly changed the story. I remember the manga being a lot more confusing and even rereading did't actually help me understand wtf i am reading. Nihei's art is often simply confusing and 'mysterious'. Also Killy was a different character in the manga. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Ok movie. Characters were pretty forgetable with Killy just being an emotionless badass but his action scenes were still pretty awesome. The dude obsessing over Tae got pretty annoying at times. The world of Blame! was interesting at least. |
 |
| I enjoyed this immensel. The action, backgrounds and designs were gorgeous and it very much captured the Nihei feel. About the only ing that felt 'wrong' was that there was a lot of dialogue. If you've read the manga, you'll know that Blame is one quiet story. Not much talking there. I like that they adapted only one arc. I hope this means we get a sequel soon!! |

| I wanna buy the movie on BD, but no release date is announced, apparently? Anyway, it's probably safe to assume that in the end Zuru married Stezo, they had a kid who then had the granddaughter that told this story. I sort of feel sorry for Stezo though, because as per her granddaughter, Zuru apparently never shut up about her crush Killy until she died, married status notwithstanding. Also, thing I found just the tiniest bit disappointing is that in the manga Killy clearly bleeds almost like a human, but in the movie when his arm got lopped off by Sanakan, there's practically no blood. That alone kinda ruins his claim of being human, so damn dem censors. Then again, his lifting huge boulders like they were made of paper and generally every second of him being badass was awesome, so I'm willing to overlook small stuff. |

| Why it has to be so bad? 3D animation almost always produce bad results, but in this movie it was painful to watch. Don't know why they done that, but it looks like all 3D scenes run at 8fps, resulting in unpleasant feeling that I watch a 3D game running on old hardware. I forced myself to watch, but can bear only 26 minutes of this torture. Besides that, as it already were pointed by people itt, expanded Electro-fishers story feeled unnecessary and artificial. I personally couldn't care less about them, knowing that If they wanted to show cute faces, they could just adapt Blame! Gakuen or something. 0/10 |
swizard said: Nothing really explained, unsatisfying ending, unsatisfying animation, unsatisfying story. How is this scored so far above a 6? So a masterpiece of faithful adaptations then. |
| I had fun once and it was awful. |
| Well that was pretty awesome. Had forgotten that this was even a thing till it showed back up. Time to grab the music and go for a reread of sorts I think. |
| It was an interesting watch. You know, that's how they should make "Zombie" or "Monster" anime --- they should be threatening! There things are out for blood! |
  |
| ...Call me when they finally anime the Dhomochevsky side of the story. Seriously. |
| I enjoyed the movie throughout and am pleased to find out there will be a second one coming from Netflix The backgrounds, soundtrack and story were just amazing, the characters looked great as well, but the movements were stiff at times A continuation of Knights of Sidonia would also be welcomed by me Imagine Nation promo: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/imagine/arch.html#a20170601arch |
| Really cool movie. The fights were good and I also liked the story. That ending was really sad, with Killy leaving them and never seeing Zuru again. Many years have passed since then, and her granddaughter is still thinking of Killy. |
 |
| Good movie although I would have liked they kept Zuru's original design from the manga. It looked cooler. They had to make her cute to appeal to wider audience. I knew that Tae would mess everything up. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Is the movie good for newbies if they never read the manga? |
| Even though CG can be pretty disgusting at times, this movie turned out to be pretty nice compared to what I was expecting, and good arc choice from the director. |
| Got mixed feelings about this. I think the movie itself was fine but it would of been better if expanded into a TV series. It got the setting, basic ideas, and characters right but the overall story isn't as great or rather, just feels not enough. 6/10. Edit: I just noticed there's a sequel. I might give that a try as well in the future. |
 |
| This is the kind of movie where you'll only get the maximum enjoyment watching if you know about the source material. There's no proper introduction of things and they're saying terminologies that did not have a proper explanation as to what they mean. Killy's deafening and Tae in my language literally means shit. 6 - Thanks, Netflix. |
