Where were you when VERTICAL saved manga?
BLAME is getting re-released by them in omnibus format. What a great day to be a Niheifag.

>shit edition
>>137383354
This is stupendous news. We're getting an edition of BLAME! that isn't flipped nor has the sound effects edited. I'll just learn to accept the changes Nihei made to the art.
>>137383354
>VERTICAL saved manga
Dark horse saved it first.
>>137383419
Why is it shit?
>>137383445
the original tokyopop publication does neither of these things
though i suppose they're hard to get now
I'd rather get Biomega tbqh
>>137383354
I'm pretty satisfied with their release of Gundam Origin. Guess I might buy this as well.
tfw you will never see this animated
>>137384974
Sidonia is shit.
BLAME! anime when?
>>137383537
Fuck, I still need to order that.
I wonder if we're ever getting a western BD release.
>>137385828
Soon, actually. If you consider CGI to be anime, that is.
>>137385828
Was confirmed last year. CGI movie adaptation.
Should i buy it or read scans?
>>137386238
Buy it. Vertical's stuff is good.
>>137386256
How many volumes will it be ?
>>137383354
>Vertical
PRAISE THE LORD, I really hope they save a lot of old translation from the Tokyo Pop days, I really want them to re-release GTO or Slam Dunk in omni format.
>>137383537
Dark Horse really upped their game with the Planetes ominbus release. It doesn't really feel like shitty quality compared to their others and like they actually put effort into it.
>>137383445
>I'll just learn to accept the changes Nihei made to the art.
Why did he even do this, the changes are shit.
Blame's look is heavy and dark, an artist is allowed to changing their style, but going out of their way to edit portions of old works is just stupid.
>>137386329
6, down from 10 originally
>>137383445
>I'll just learn to accept the changes Nihei made to the art.
It hurts.
>>137383354
I think we're going to get both TV anime and movie.
The last time, Polygon announced a move for Ajin and then a TV anime. They recycle the movie into TV anime in short.

At least, it looks better than the previous adaptation.
>>137387086
Also, the sound directing was really good in sidonia anime so it's great a strong point for BLAME to have the same guy.
>>137386929
2003 2004 2005 best nihei
>>137386929
What changes has he made to Blame! ?
I can't find shit on google.
>>137385751
Blame is shit
>>137387226
You're mum is shit
>>137387188
shit
>>137387086
>PV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDA1bUkotIk [Embed]
is better
>>137384974
>tfw you will never see this animated
>>137387307
Literally nothing interesting happen after the season 2
>>137387307
Good.
>>137383354
IS IT ON COMIXOLOGY YET
>>137387086
That really isn't half-bad, I'm impressed and surprised.
If the film will look like that I'm more than okay with it.
>>137387264
>soundtrack
No it isn't.
Both are awful for different reasons.
>>137383354
Abara in english when?
>>137387200
Someone made comparisons a few threads ago if you want to search the archive.
If only Nihei could actually write a coherent story.
>>137387597
M8.
>>137387515
even Nihei like it.
>>137387263
no, your mom is shit
>>137387307
>>137387344
Polygon is a lazy studio
and the way they hyping Blame after Sidonia season one became a hit leading to Nihei redawn Blame and force finish Sidonia, is comparable to the Holohoax
Sidonia season two is their moneygrabber , cramped with cliché and used 3d model
>>137387784
physical copies you dolt
>>137387597
Abara would look pretty good as a motion comic
>>137388070
>
The director said he wanted to do a new season of sidonia + recap movie of the season 2 with new scene.
>>137388170
>new scene
what we need is new mecha and battle suit
Is Nihei currently working on anything?
>>137388328
nope
>>137388328
character design for the Blame movie and some video game
>>137388393
>video game
Sequel to AC4A (shh AC V didn't happen) where the battlefield expands into space and you find the gauna already out there waiting for you.
A man can dream.
>>137387086
Apparently this was made with the budget of a full Sidonia ep.
>>137388798
sauce? it's looked better than the episode 8 but i doubt they used a whole episode budget.
>>137389057
I just saw a lot of posts saying that in the thread when it aired.
How many changes are there? I've only the 2 changes in the final Exterminator battle.
>>137383354
Digital version was blured iirc.
>>137383445
>I'll just learn to accept the changes Nihei made to the art.
I will fucking snap you in half mate
What's the appeal of the series?
>>137389700
Architecture and cool action
>>137389724
Don't forget the character/creature designs.
>>137389700
do you like BIG things?
>>137389700
Complex world, beautiful art, unique storytelling
>>137389700
If you like Cyberpunk, you will LOVE BLAME!
>>137389700
Sanakan
>>137389899
I wouldn't necessarily say so.
Blame! is always classified as such, but is actually surprisingly far removed from things that make cyberpunk, at least the "classic" kind.
There are elements present but it's more a situation of the far future of a setting that once was cyberpunk.
>>137389551
Link? Can't find anything in the archives
>>137390340
Why is it ultimately always me who posts my own pictures?
>>137390412
The most relevant one is somewhere that I don't remember, gimme a sec.
>>137390444
found it.
>>137390206
It's technological singularity, which is basically post-apocalyptic cyberpunk.
>>137390567
>>137390206
Noise on the other side can be called a cyberpunk before shit hits the fan.
>>137390412
because nobody else has the raws
>>137383354
>licensing.
GUESS IT'S TIME TO DOWNLOAD THOSE CHAPTERS.
>>137390567
Which is a wholly different thing really.
>>137386414
They did good job with digital CLAMP except jpeg.
>>137390650
Not entirely true but regardless, I've literally never seen someone repost one of those.
>>137390473
This is one of my favourite Blame pages. The changes, in my opinion, aren't a deal breaker.
>>137390673
This. Licensing kills manga for English readers.
>>137391040
It's still dumb and unnecessary.
>>137391040
There's more changes and issues with several other pages, but they were either insubstantial enough or I didn't care enough to scan them
The guy working for Habanero is scanning his copy in 600dpi (at a subglacial pace), I'm sure as shit not pulling apart my copy to do the same thing for significantly crappier earlier new raws
>>137391295
There's already an eBook release that was ripped.
>>137391295
moar
>those non-butchered coloured pages
!!!!!!!!
Tokyo-pop's release was actually A-OK apart from teh atrocious greyscale filter they applied to the colour pages, which was particularly unforgiveable for the final pages of the manga.
I once wrote a complaint on tokyopop forums that their manga volumes all had this logo saying "100% authentic manga" and yet they released blame with murky, indistinct greyscale filters that not only removed the colour but also a large amount of the detail of the final pages of the manga
>>137390473
Looks like something out of the Nausicaa manga.
>>137390412
When you said "changes" I thought you mean he's going to fix the sameface and weirdly spaced eyes on characters.
>>137389700
-very imaginative world
-good art
-great timing and sense of choreography in his action scenes
-great arc structure with amazingly excited, well-built up climaxes (the electro fisher battle where killy first charges up his GBE to level 4, the climax of the toha heavy industries arc, the climax of the level 9 arc, the climax of Sanakan storming the silicon creatures to save Cibo and the confrontation with the exterminator first class)
Sanakan and cibo and Killy are actually pretty cool characters too
>>137390473
>>137390444
>>137390412
Did tokyopop realy remove the containment oxes around killy in the level 9 battle?
huh I didn't remember that.
I actually bought all 10 volumes and don't recall this
>>137391295
>The guy working for Habanero
Ah right, there were plans to scanlate the new version.
I guess this announcement kills that project? or will they do it anyway?
Fuck Nihei for ending Sidonia THAT way. And fuck his blame
>>137391901
Whenever the editor completes it.
I'M CRYING
>>137385828
>BLAME Academy by Xebec never
>>137391477
>>137391858
you people needed to learn to read better
>>137391901
you can always ask them
>>137392095
why
>>137391295
>did I told you
>>137393127
I mean that anyone can check the changes for themselves, my ESL anon.
>>137393822
Then why don't they post them, my ETL enemy? You would think by now that that would have happened.
Why is it that /a/ is the only board that almost immediately goes to "lol ur a spic" when someone makes a contentious point
>>137393960
The ebooks have been posted before, go find the download links.
>>137394007
except that's not true and it's only the first two volumes
>>137388070
>Sidonia season two is their moneygrabber , cramped with cliché and used 3d model
It does look better than S2 overall though.
