I went into Blame without knowing anything about it, and I could not have been happier to stumble upon more Nihei stuff I didn't know existed.  And I started with Sidonia and I still love it overall, but man, I can't say I'm a fan of certain ending developments.

Someone earlier wondered how someone who got introduced to the series with the movie would feel about the manga. Well I just finished it, so here goes. Goddamn that was amazing. All the Nihei-isms I like were dialed up to 11, and the art was of course beautiful. Thanks to other posters I don't really have many questions, all I can say is I really want more in this setting now, even if it would kinda defeat the point. So what was up with the chapter one rescued boy and not-Cibo? I can only assume it was a scrapped plotline idea for Killy to try saving people who might have the gene, and Cibo was his support, but Nihei flies in abject defiance of traditional storytelling concepts so I can't say how much was intentional and just not meant to be explained like so many other things, or if it was just a dropped idea. I'd totally read a full length Blame Academy though. Guess I'll chug through Netsphere Engineer and Noise now.

yum posted:Loved the movie for what it was considering it's limitations. Definitely agree that making Killy function on low power was pretty lame but I can see why they did it to add tension. Cibo, GBE, Sanakan, and the Safeguard were all very well done and looked awesome. My biggest gripe about the whole thing was that super cheesy wind instrument theme that plays whenever Killy is on screen. It felt like an attempt to make him seem like some silent Sasuke badass instead of an ancient half functional computer program Are you talking about his theme? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgXUKwEzwuo Honestly, I really like that piece, it does a good job of reflecting his character and his journey. A singular focus, loud and clear, standing out against the noise in the background, often repeated, and when the background picks up, the main theme changes and stands out against it. And by the end it's back to noise. Repeat that, just with the noise lasting for months or years and you've got Killy's existence.
