So when will Biomega get an adaptation? That might be too difficult on second thought.
I haven't read Blame! but this looks promising.
All credit goes to Sacred.

Never would have expected this.

But the manga has minimal dialogue, wonder how a movie adaption will do.

One's hopeful that this might live up to the manga. Even if it doesn't, it could at least bring something interesting to the series, and stir up some interest.

Could be amazing.

Why do you people hate so much CG?

Well, i don't hate cg but it wouldn't work with blame as it has worked with Sidonia, the thing that made blame so good was the good artwork (dirty but damn beautiful to look) and background it was more about the journey than the story line and there wasn't even a lot of dialog it was focused on the art, it was so bizarre and at the same time intriguing and refreshing, i don't think it would work in cg.
Well even if it is cg, I'm going to watch it and a lot fan will but probably its not going to be the same experience.

From which possible announcement you would get most biggest hype?
1. Dorohedoro
2. Liar game
3. 20th century boys
4. Berserk
5. Oyasumi Punpun
6. Spice and Wolf
7. Index

Dorohedoro for sure. God I love that series. Not to mention it's gotten zero adaptations.

Obviously Oyasumi Punpun lmao Misread question
From these, I'd be happiest from 20th CB
But Oyasumi is the one MAL would be happiest with

Index would explode Japan literally with hype.

Spice and Wolf would explode the western fanbase.

Oyasumi Punpun and 20th Century Boys would satisfy me immensely.

But goddamn, Dorehedoro would be the most unexpected announcement out of the list you posted.

I just hope they don't mess up the gritty atmosphere and art style that the manga did so well. That really set the series another level above the rest.

Cautiously optimistic. I'm not entirely convinced they can convey just how absurdly massive and detailed the mega structure is the way Nihei did with his illustrations in the manga.

Dorohedoro is hard to adapt in the TV-series. OVA format, like Hellsing, would be fine. But its hard to fit such a big series in OVAs. I think, no one would be really care, if Dorohedoro will be severely censored in TV-format. More important is to stay faithful to manga.And therefore, more than 70% of episode will be a black screen.

THAT WAY, YOU CAN DESTROY EVERYTHING NIHEI HAS LIVED FOR


it's probably not going to look shit like Sidonia if the Blame PV from Sidonia ep 8 is anything to go by. Plus it's a movie. At least Polygon Pictures can do great sound design which is something a Blame anime really needs


Ajin PVs looked shit as well and those are movies made by Polygon Pictures.

Does Japan running out of idea though with how many old school adaptation nowadays?
They did a long time ago. At least "old school" had some proper storytelling instead of shitty 13/24 episode sets of LN tie-ins. Remake of an 1974 series was the best thing I've seen in anime for years... I wish they would do the same with Seikai no Senki.

It was revealed about a year ago, the movie is going to be 3D like Sidonia. Nihei's 2D adaptation requires a high budget.

Not a surprise at all after we got the episode in Sidonia. I was expecting a full series but a movie is fine too.

Excited and happy but still worried. And I do not mind the 3DCG. Yes, I had a problem at first but I am fine with it now.

It would be very hard to sell a series where nobody talks at all.

It will be. And it's one of the things I'm worried about, as well as the whole background with the buildings. The music and sound were great in both seasons of Sidonia, but I know the 3DCG and the whole atmosphere of Blame! is not easily adapted into an anime. There will be mistakes but for now I am optimistic. I am not expecting the excellent adaption anyways.

OMG yes I've been waiting for a proper adaptation for 8 years!!!!!!! They better make the animation dark and gritty like the manga, and I don't care if there is barely any talking! The series doesn't need much of it. Oh my god!!

I'm slightly hesitant about the 3DCGI though....I haven't seen good use of it and I hope that it will be used tastefully.

Very happy to see this happening, CGI or no. But I'm having a hard time being optimistic about adapting all of Blame! into the timespan of a movie.
