They did good adapting it to make things fit into the running time.

I especially appreciated Killy's 0 charisma, how quickly things go 0-100, and every time it swerves away from obvious setups.

Yeah, they're a specific faction/culture of cyborgs that universally deploys as much stolen Safeguard tech as they can. There's other cyborgs around, but they generally don't have access to The Good poo poo, and they don't make it their way of life. Bioelectric has accessed and reverse-engineered a lot of The Good poo poo, but hoard and centralize it instead of putting it on EVERYONE the way Silicon Creatures do.

I had no idea Nihei gave so much extra background details in interviews. Any other sources/interesting tidbits that you guys know of?
IIRC, the main power source for the city is gravity impellers, which are pushed by neutrino flux.

There was a somewhat abstract BLAME! net animation from a while back where the elevator woman identifies herself as Cibo, and I quite like the interpretation that the whole thing was a look at Killy's damaged and fragmented memories, where in an effort to hold onto significant information he's been mashing similar things together, so all significant women allies in the past have been merged into his internal concept of Cibo.
