hmm no real Blame anime exists, have a look here to get the gist

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLAME!

the manga is epically good tho (If you like that sort of thing, I sure do)

actually they made an anime in 2005 but it only went to 6 episodes and it wasn't that great. If your interested there should still be torrents out for it and I know AnimePlus has it available for direct download.

aye, f its the one im thinking of, it wasn't bad - not bad at all - but not really an anime if you know what I mean.

Are you talking about the one where the whole series is barely half an hour long total?

it looks really cool, but the summary sounds boring... can someone clear this up?
>> ScottishWeeaboo !!WCV2lLF+/pu

I could see how it could look that way, aye - but no, the story is quite good (if a bit obtuse at times) and there is enough 'shit fucking blows up' along with it to pick up the slack if the story doesnt grab you - tbh tho, even if the story was abysmal, its worth a look for the art alone.

The story is rather simple, but the story isn't really why I like Blame.

The artist, Nihei, started his adult life as an architect. He has an eye for space and scale, as well as structure. His style is heavily influenced by this, and as a result Blame is fucking beautiful.

Nihei loves vistas. Huge pictures that show just how tiny the characters are compared to the world. The series itself feels oppressive at time, darkness and decay pressing down from all around, while the heroes struggle against seemingly impossible odds and indestructable monsters to find something that could very well not exist.

The bulk of the manga is without text (though the last third gets a little wordy). It doesn't need words, really, which is one of the coolest parts about it.

I re-read Blame! every half year or so, and I always get something new out of it. New details noticed, new connections made. To me, Blame! is more like art than just a 'normal' comic. It's designed in a very evocative way that can powerfully effect it's reader.

So, please, give it a try.

Oh, and to expound upon the 'no words' thing:

The last chapter is utterly without spoken word, and it is all the better for it. The volumes conveyed through visuals, rather than exposition, are sublime and powerful.

ah, alright... i might be able to order it then. i'd rather get a torrent first though, can't really afford manga right now.

i'll definitely be getting caught up on nihei, i really love his style of art.

there are no blame walls on danbooru, wtf??

btw, nihei's style looks very much like amano's work for angel's egg. -spacious and dark, a bit lucid.
