Tsutomu Nihei Manga 'Blame!' Receives Anime Movie Adaptation
Blame! was serialized in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine between 1998 and 2003. It was also published in English by the now-defunct North American publisher Tokyopop between 2005 and 2007. That release won the Harvey Award for Best American Edition of Foreign Material.
Previous adaptations include a net animation series in 2006, a prologue OVA in 2007, and an inserted scene in the eighth episode of Sidonia no Kishi: Daikyuu Wakusei Seneki earlier this year.
Synopsis
Killy is a man of few words. He wanders, seemingly endlessly, through a lonely, gargantuan labyrinth of concrete and steel, fighting off cyborgs and other futuristic nightmares, searching only for something called Net Terminal Genes. And he has a very powerful gun, which he uses without hesitation whenever anything resembling danger rears its ugly head.
Who is this quiet, violent, determined man and what are these Genes he seeks? The small communities he finds tucked into the crevices of this towering, dystopic ruin hardly give him leads on his treasure, driving him to find larger enclaves of civilization where people can reveal more about the world he lives in and the quarry he seeks.

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.
Depends on the length of the movie.
If its 1.5/2 hour long, it is very much possible, considering a lot of chapters are an action sequence.

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.

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.

POLYGON PICTURES (Sidonia no Kishi, Ajin) confirmed as the studio in charge. So will be full 3DCG.

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

Just read the announcement tweet from Nihei. Polygon Pictures is making it, so it's gonna be 100% CGI. Goddamn it.
Was to be expected...but yeah. Goddamn it.
