Synopsis

A young girl named Zuru sets out on an expedition through a post-apocalyptic city controlled by machines in a desperate hunt for food. Things go awry when her team accidently triggers the city's AI defense program called the Safeguard. Attacked by the machines, her companions are on the verge of being annihilated when a mysterious man named Killy arrives and exterminates the hostile units.

Despite his heroic intervention, Zuru is hesitant to trust Killy and questions his motives. He reveals to have come from thousands of levels below the city in order to find humans possessing the Net Terminal Genes—a trait that would allow humans to regain control of their civilization and shut down the Safeguard. After hearing his story, Zuru and the rest of her team join Killy and embark on a journey in search of the Genes that could prove to be mankind's last hope of survival.

Blam! Blam blam! Blam!!! That's how the title of this work is pronounced, not the actual word "blame". That's right the title to this movie is a poorly written sound effect not a verb.

Blame comic is one of those rare combinations of popular and niche at the same time, generating positive reviews and poor ones depending on the writers. Nihei, the mangaka, creates a divisive work by focusing on atmosphere, violence and body horror, while the story takes a backseat for the seemingly endless journey, leaving readers to pick up the small bits and pieces like bread crumbs. Suffice to say, this did not sit ...

Mixed Feelings
It's a good movie, but considering how much I was looking forward to watch it, it was a very underwhelming experience.
The main reason why I wanted to watch it was because of the concept. The idea of a city growing infinitely and the characters having to stop its growth was something I had never seen tried in anything and I'm always a fan of giving a crazy idea a chance. I had also heard that the Blame! manga was one of the best, if the best manga ever made, so I really watched this movie expecting something memorable.
Then I watched and my ...

This was the first anime adaptation I've seen following reading the manga. That being said, as a standalone movie, this is pretty bare bones basic besides the world being quite good with its scaling. The characters feel extremely tiny and at the mercy of their world. The characters themselves however, are bare-bones-basic. They aren't likeable, but they aren't unlikeable. They're on par with an empty shell, with zero depth and here to serve the plot more than be their own people. The characters who are from the manga feel more like wasted potential, besides Kyrii who stays relatively the same in this adaptation. This is ...
