Don't quite get why an anime fan would be averse to manga tbh :/
9/10 times the manga an anime is adapted from is so much more enjoyable.

This film in particular was a let down in that it didn't show even a glimpse of the Silicone Lifeforms. How can you not include P-Cell with her gravity blade, she's mint.

Well, the movie explains everything rather well and on point.

Except a few things.
Killy claims in the movie that he's from 6000 levels below which others characters find impossible to believe. At later date he speaks of a place 200 levels below and other characters claim it's impossible for them to go there.

What the movie doesn't explain is the exact nature of the world and exactly why they think it's impossible to move 200 levels below.

See, the world they live in is a Megastructure. It used to be a planet spanning city on Earth but at one point city building machines went out of control and started to build infinitely and without much sense except one: they build the Megastructure as levels, each several kilometers between each level. The Megastructure is big enough to engulf the Moon. And the material the layers are made of is so incredibly strong that nothing except one thing can penetrate it. That one thing is Killy's gun. For any normal human, moving from one level to another is practically an impossible feat. That's even not accounting all the enemies standing in the way. There are elevators and hatches but those inaccessible to normal humans.

Hence why other characters call going down 200 levels is impossible, let alone 6000. The amount of time it would take to travel 6000 levels is way beyond any human lifespan. At the start of the manga, Killy says he has been traveling for more than 3000 years. Which means he travels 2 levels per year on average.

Just to let you know, reading Blame takes less time than expected. Since the entire series barely has any dialogues and it's mainly just picture panels, the series will only take a couple of hours to read.
