How would a Blame! anime work?
>would
It will.
You should know this by now.
>>139268028
watch Casherrin Sins, but way better background artwork. Fights would have ripping sound effects.
>>139269837
And no flying spin kicks
>>139268028
I think it will work quite well as long as they put proper effort into the background scenery and don't try and alter the story or commit the heinous crime of having the characters engage in long and/or frequent conversations.
There will be a movie... Polygon pictures... Sydonia... Ajin...

You guys realize there's plenty of action and blowing stuff up in Blame! right? It'd be fine as Niheitecture Dark Souls.
>>139270822
That would be problematic because of the emphasis on time in the manga. They would have to choose between an emphasis on combat and story or an emphasis on The City. Unfortunately, this is a film adaptation, which likely means the former is inevitable.
If the film sells really well, maybe we'll get a true anime adaptation that can handle both.
They better change that ending to make more god damn sense
>>139271136
go fuck yourself
It was one of the best manga endings of all time, and it wasn't even "LOL2DEEP4U"; it was made abundantly clear what happened. Here's my cheat-sheet for fuckers like you, go figure it out.
Blame is about a man who walks across the solar system, and not exactly in a straight line. His trip would be literally billions of kilometres in distance and tens of thousands of years long. I don't see how you could capture that kind of scale and loneliness in an anime.
>>139271442
But even in the manga some of that was just "Killy and Cibo rode the elevator for 100 years". I agree the pacing of an anime would be problematic, but scale and loneliness I think is doable.
>>139271550
If you go back and flick through some of the later volumes, there's lots of pages of Killy traveling for an unbelievably long period of time. Several pages in a row will just show him walking across landscapes that would take weeks/months/years to cross. He never stops moving. That was the significance of the stairwell sequence - even Killy, who's been walking for thousands of years without a word of complaint, was getting too tired of this shit. Talking Necklace thought he was dead because of how long he didn't move.
>>139268028
Isn't Polygon making a movie?
>>139271867
Which we know zero about so far, which makes me nervous
>>139270562
Considering pretty much the entire cast is cyborgs, you may not even need VA's, just a decently advanced text-to-speech machine.
Does anyone here struggle to comprehend the size of the City?
http://joshworth.com/dev/pixelspace/pixelspace_solarsystem.html
Scroll through this until you get board, than imagine a mostly-solid chunk of metal that extends that distance in every direction. The mass alone would be more than our entire galaxy, potentially even more than an entire supercluster of galaxies.
how would a Dorohedoro anime work?
>>139271221
If I needed a Cheat sheet then I Would say it was KINDA hard to get
>>139272163
>Does anyone here struggle to comprehend the size of the City?
Everybody does; it's impossible to understand.
Just imagine traveling through space, and you end up 100,000,000km or so away from something that you can't see beyond. There is just dark beyond that point, and that darkness extends in every direction in front of you. And then you suddenly realize it's a structure: an unnatural, sentience-created structure.
What scares me more than The City's broad mass is its internal maze. Being lost in arbitrarily constructed hallways for hundreds of thousands of years, built with no consistent logic and with no way of knowing that where I currently stood, I had stood 1,000 times before; only with different environs. The size of The City is incomprehensible. A map of The City goes beyond that.
>>139272565
You didn't need it, I just post it to answer most questions possible whenever they come up. And you just said it was "hard to get", but your original post said it just didn't make sense. Two different points.
Back when Sidonia was airing I remember hearing/seeing little tidbits about Nihei's other project called Blame!, but never really looked into it.
From this thread, it seems to be even more hard sci-fi than Sidonia was? It is pretty good?
>>139273119
what is this?
>>139268028
90% of the budget on the backgrounds, the rest on the animation. Seiyuus aren't important, there's like a total of 30 spoken sentences in blame.
>>139273147
Blame! isn't even close to hard scifi. The City, Safegaurd, Killy's ability to recover from literally anything. none of the major elements in the story are feasible under anything resembling modern physics. That said its a great work and you should totally give it a read.
>>139273147
Ignore >>139273203, he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. It's all highly justified, but the justifications rarely (if ever) are mentioned.
It's one of the best manga of all time purely out of being a fluke. If you look at Nihei now, you'll see he has absolutely no clue what to do with the franchise.
>>139273180
Oddly enough, I don't remember. There's an incredibly high chance that it's from bac9's blog a ways back, check if you want.
>>139272163
A map of the city would likely look something like this, extending outwards in every direction as far as you can see. And there's one tiny little dot impossible to see with the naked eye somewhere amongst the clusterfuck of twists, chasms, passages and chambers, slowly but surely making it's way across the whole thing occasionally destroying and rearranging small sections of the map. Really puts things in perspective, huh.
>>139273416
Having justifications or explanations does not make a series hard sci-fi. Hard sci-fi sticks to what is theoretically possible based on a current understanding of physics. The City, for example, is created from some technology that takes mass from some parallel dimension, none of which is expected based on our current understanding of physics. This makes it soft sci-fi.
Like a reverse Kino's Journey or Mushishi, where you're introduced to a particular zone of the megastructures and by the end of the episode or arc Killy is blasting his way through it
>>139273514
I had that in my mind for posting, but you have to remember that The City is three-dimensional. More than just expansive, the third dimension makes the possible intersections incredibly dense. If it were drawn on a two-dimensional plane like that, it would just be an ink-soaked black piece of paper.
>>139271057
has the sidonia blame extra ever been scanned and translated?
Blame really wasn't that good a manga.
All in all, it was pretty shit.
>>139273745
>The City, for example, is created from some technology that takes mass from some parallel dimension
Wrong. You don't need to be even close to my level of obsession to know that, just read the fucking artbook notes. By-the-by, I may get the entirety of them translated by a professional TL soon, so look forward to that.
>>139273925
Doesn't appear to have been either. I'd pay for it if I could.
>>139270133
Something like E.Y.E
>>139272201
Make 500 clones of the artist to draw frames and no censorship.
That's the only way it could work. there's no other way to capture it's artstyle correctly.
>>139273981
Irrelevant. The City is probably around the size of the solar system, so it requires more mass than any currently posited technology can assemble.
>>139270231
>cibo
>needing heels
Cibo is tall. Tall!
>>139270133
Think Shadow of the Colossus. Then take out the Colossi.
It would be less a video game and more interactive art.
>>139270315
There's also "Neissancee" (or whatever it's called).
>>139268028
Very badly because they'll use clean, sterilized cgi that won't render the scale or the soul in it.
Does anyone know where to buy the print version of this? I don't think I've ever wanted to own my own copy of a manga this badly ever.
>>139274444
You know they will, god fucking damn it.
I'd rather wait 10 years than to have it done like shit.

It's big as all shit!
The only thing that comes to mind in animation is Samurai Jack. That had a lot of scenes with Jack just walking through the wilderness. So if every episode had like at least five minutes of walking with either no sound of something like Killy's footsteps or breathing (like in The Revenant) it could work. Also the gun has to be loud as fuck.
>>139273877
>>139273514
This. The City is 3D and because of that, and its sheer size as well as the fact that it is constantly being build/rebuilded no maps would work other than pointers showing relative distance and direction to the next destination IMO or something.

MC has a pocket pistol that can shoot beams that go on forever and can destroy virtually anything.

Has there been any news on a new Nihei work?

And they clearly have technology that is wastly more advanced than what we have today. Biilders can literally make matter out of thin ait

Surely it would work like sidonia but with lots of silence and walking. I want to see a Biomega anime too.

No it definitely would not. Even excluding everything else, the supermassive black hole a the centre of your galaxy says hi.

Are you fucking retarded or do you not know the definition of hard sci fi?
>>139273147
blame is what stoners want to happen to cyberpunk
>>139276175
this is the preview of the movie.
Bad. Pleb can't handle BLAME!. I tried to make all my friends into it and it's universal failure for now.
new blame reprint raws and translation when?
>>139276667
the english reprint is going to be released some time, just wait to have those scanned.
>>139273147
>even more hard sci-fi than Sidonia was?
First clean your brain from what ever impression you have of Sidonia.
Then start with dead heads(Nihei's unfinished one shot).
Then start blame!
Trust me when people say /sidonia was his most accessible work, it says a lot.
He is very artsy
>>139278148
Considering Blame! and Abara got reprints,it worked I guess.
>>139277642
Is the translation gonna be better than the garbage Tokyopop spewed out?
>>139273147
sidonia is easily nehei weakest work
>>139273147
>>139277793
Even better, start with Sabrina.
>>139278470
The most Nihei work Nihei ever created.
>>139278251
Viz media have done good translation from my experience so probably. Not like theres much to translate anyway.
>>139278499
The Tokyopop translation frequently confused the Safeguard and the Authority, and the City and the Megastructure. It also stated that real Cibo died and alt Cibo took over her body when the exact opposite happened.
>>139278390
Are you going to scare him away ,anon?
>>139271550
It was a month, no ?
>>139278497
so like what? he just wanted to snack on a girls arm?
>>139278450
Fuck.
>>139270133
Long explorations in vast empty spaces
Occasional NPC that tells you just a little bit about the lore
Big fights against memorable bosses

>>139278551
You guys don't know about the french translation.
The guys confused the "Lvl 9 safeguard" and a "9th level (level like roof) of the megastructure".
Last volumes are impossible to understand with it.

This, you'd have vast expanses of plat forming to complete.
Encounters will be built around a concept to use the environment to your advantage, even having to progress toward certain objects in chase format + using cover.
You'll be stalked in certain scenarios, stealth through vast levels, just think of a typical mission but the length is morrowind style city to city.
