BLAME! Movie Edition: THE ELECTROFISHERS’ ESCAPE
| So the new teaser trailer came up. I'm hype! |
| Bless Polygon Pictures! Wonder how the plot/story of the film will work, since the manga, besides having a linear story, although not being that clear sometimes and presented in a weird way (as far as I recall), has a kind of pace, or maybe sequence of events, that would be really awkward in a animation (like simply showing Killy walking past various landscapes or non-stop action sequences)... I may be horribly wrong but... Well, after seeing the characters that are being displayed on the website and what I saw on the trailers, I thought at first that the movie would cover some stuff from the 3rd and 4th Vol. of the manga (the whole Toha Heavy industries arc) based on the characters that are being shown on the official site (but I wasn't sure since they don't resemble that much the ones on the manga), but then I went to read the synopsis on the website, and it resembles a lot the Netsphere Engineer short story. Cibo is being shown on the website too (or at least a character that looks like her), so maybe they will cover some stuff from the 2nd Vol. too? Maybe it will be a mix of some stories from the manga, or it could be a original story for the film... anyway, Nihei is the Creative Consultant for the production so it can't go wrong. |

| Wow i love how CG is progressing and looking better and better. This is going to be interesting. |
| im gonna watch this one, this is friggin cool looking |
| I don't have Netflix, but does anyone know if there's a list somewhere out there that has all the titles they show, or at least the exclusives? Thank you. |

Yeah, the girl's Zuru, although the description doesn't seem to fully match up the toha heavy industries arc... I'm really wondering what they'll do, but I'm sure it won't be a disappointment. |

I feel like this is what happened to Zuru: |
| This looks fucking great, pretty hyped for this since the source is my fav manga. Killy's VA is perfect and the background art looks nice just like it should with a Blame anime |
 |
| I really hope they keep dialogue to a minimum and have excellent camera composition. CG is looking amazing though. |
Looks like the moe converter thing was more canon than we thought... ... Also the alternative titles for the movie that are listed on MAL give the impression that will really have something to do with the Heavy Toha Industries arc, but it's nothing to be that sure... The site also mentions that Nihei is behind the script too (he also provided original character designs), so maybe he wrote a original story for the movie, using some stuff from the manga and some short stories... well, who knows, can't be really sure yet... |

Yeah, I know Nihei is directly involved. I don't know if he wrote the script, he's there as creative advisor, though. And yeah, the trailer seems to be kind of telling the premise of the Netsphere Engineer short story. So I think the biggest focus will be the toha heavy industries arc. I don't mind the new character designs, it's kinda nihei's newer style anyhow and serves the animation better. But I love how authentic they looked in the manga. |
| Lets hope the animation and sound are going to be as good as Sidonia s2 (which was gorgeous). Damn, I'm already excited! |
| literary I SHIET MA PANTS WHEN I SEE THAT PV |

| Honestly, the CG looks like shit imo. I'll pass on this. Already read the manga ages ago. |

(i'm kidding dw, i also add stuff ages after i've watched it) The CGI art looks very clean in comparison to 2D animation. The only thing I can agree on is that the framerate looks to be low in the non-action scenes, but that doesn't feel like an issue. Honestly 2D animation has often such low quality mixed up everywhere, and the reason they can have a high framerate is because of those "bad frames", CG can't do that, so in budget projects, the framerate is bound to be low. Animating is hard my dude. I find myself really liking this art style as well, though, so this may just be biased. Why do you think it looks so bad? Edit: I know some CGI makes the movement look clunky, due to the lack of joints probably, but Sidonia never looked clunky to me, at least not anymore. |

(i'm kidding dw, i also add stuff ages after i've watched it) I had added it a long time ago. Put it on hold then finished it and forgot to change that I had it on hold.

If it was so good that I couldn't tell it apart from 2D or it didn't have those clunky movements that almost every Japanese CGI movie has, I wouldn't be complaining. I'm not a fan of the new CGI trend that is rising through Japanese animation studios. It's cheaper to use CG but it always ages like shit and it looks quite bad in my opinion. The CGI on this trailer only looks slightly better than Berserk's CG. It is still bad. I rather take shitty 2D animation over 'good' CG. I'm aware of how expensive 2D animation is and how long it takes but that's why it's quality. Sorry, but I already saw Disney kill 2D animation for cheaper and quicker CG. I don't want to see the medium killed off in Japan too. My opinion on CG animation is unchanging, I think it works fine when used to support 2D but it should never be used to fully animate a movie/show. I can go back and watch something like Sleeping Beauty remastered and it would still look fantastic. I tried watching Jimmy Neutron again after so long to see how well it aged and it looked awful. Movies that looks good now in CG don't age well later. |

But I think it comes down to preference in the end, then. I think each has their charm, but I see your point. |
| Regarding the changes made to the storyline, this seems to be a case of "This work is too austere and convoluted, let's change it because viewvers are freaking morons". I sure hope I am wrong. |

I sure hope I am wrong. The overarching story is very spread out and not really conclusive, so focussing on a exhilirating, story-filled arc, rewriting it a little so it translates into a movie well, etc., seems like the most logical thing to do. It's not a matter of considering the viewers dumb, it's a matter of making a good film. They can't adapt everything since it's a feature-length film, so it seems acceptable to me + nihei is helping them out, so I'm sure it won't be bad. Just don't go in expecting a full adaptation of the manga or anything lol |

| Well, it's been quite some time since I read Blame!, but I find the global story to be important, as it is severely imbricated with Killy. But more importantly, Blame! is a story full of structures, void and nihilism, and devoid of words. What I am fearing is that they break the core identity of the work in order to appeal to a larger public. |

| well this is nisei masterpiece ,, Sidonia is good at start but crap in the end .. but seriously ,, I hope Nisei-sensei and Polygon can work this up ... |
| 4th times getting signature banned wtf |
| If only the characters were hand-drawn! |
 |
| I hope this doesnt turn out to be pandering schlock and actually have well choreographed fights #hype |

| Finished today the manga, nice to hear it is finally getting an adaptation. |

| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Blame's one of my favorite manga and Ajin one of my favorite anime. I have high hopes for this one. |
| Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature! |
| I really like the manga, so i have high hopes. But this cgi looks shitty to me :_: The background art looks great tho. |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| Lol, I don't feel it, I still have the manga though. Not sure where 90% of the claims in the thread come from but the cyberfisher lady with blushy cheeks should tingle your shonen sense. |

| Get hype! Finished the manga a while back so I can't wait to see how well the adaptation goes. Always been a fan of Polygon pictures and it's cool to see how the CG they use has gotten smoother and smoother as time goes on. |
 |
| New trailer |
 |
| The CGI doesn't look shitty. Stop complaining over nothing people! |
 |
| Why Polygon Pictures, why? I can't handle there shitty cgi animation of characters. It looks completely out of place because the characters seem to hover around without acceleration of their movements. What a waste. |
 |
| I was super hype about this getting animated because I loved the manga so much. But after reading the synopsis I'm somewhat concerned that the story is not going to show off the manga, and warp the characters for the benefit of this movie. I'll still going to watch it because I've been waiting for years hoping this series would get an animation, and then waiting another 2 years for an actual release date. But I'm going to keep expectations low. |
 |
| ...I can't be the only one asking the real question here: will Dhomochevsky be in this movie??!! So far that doesn't seem to be the case and I will be super disappointed if I am right..................I freakin' loved him............. Anyway, I am HYPED! I don't care that the frame rate looked a bit slow-ish in a few places...This is BLAME!!! HELL YEAH!!!!! |
| The Hype is real! Can't wait for this!! |
| A life is a history with no end...it continues to be told by others endless. We do not own lives, we own histories! |
