What the absolute fuck did I just read?
one of the greatest manga of all time, user.
I don't know but I've always wondered, do Westerners who love this series think it's called Blame! or does the story itself make it clear it's called BLAM!
I liked it but I didn't understand shit.
I'm going to assume pic is related, so I'm guessing "Blame!"
why does this filter so many people?
Read NOiSE next. It's short. Then the most important piece of the puzzle: Blame! Gakuen.
Why do you assume I disliked it?
there is a lot of interesting Blame! interpretation and analysis out there on the interwebs. Have fun. If you feel like Killy "made it" in the end, then I think you basically understood what was happening.
The very last page was confusing since he reached his goal in the previous pages yet he's shown drawing the GBE once again.
He's probably taking her back to a terminal I think
That seems to be because he now has the human with net terminal genes and he needs to go back into the City to plug her in and fix the problems with the Governing Body or whatever it was called. Or something like that.
Read Blame and so on
Ah right, that makes sense, thanks
Does anyone have that effortpost on Blame's plot? You know what I'm talking about
I always pronounced it "blam" because "blame" sounds silly to me, and it makes no clear sense plot-wise
Thanks user
Does anyone know how this person extrapolated that big bastard beam the Safeguard infected Chibo shot at Killy is a teleported piece of the sun?
So it's never really explained what Killy actually is? He's just vaguely alluded to as a kind of high level safeguard that doesn't obey the same rules as the conventional ones?
Some of the other works seem to suggest he was a policeman before the Netsphere control collapsed and somehow become some cybernetic badass who has loads of upgrades to become immortal and wield the GBE.
A series of concept arts. Someone thought about adding some text bubbles here and there.
>a policeman
What the fuck, he was an actual human bean in a functional society?
>t. a brainlet
Something that makes everything more incredible is that the city expansion has now reached Saturn or Jupiter, I don't remember, so Killy walked to fucking Saturn to complete his mission.
yeah but blam sounds stupid liek youre just making noises. Like saying Pew Pew Pew. Blame sounds better even if isn't related.
Evil AI but instead of self preservation or zeroth law they just really, really need to be rebooted.
Yeah I THINK it very briefly detailed in NOiSE
So, you've confirmed that's what it is.
Just read this and shut up, and that's considering that has missing points, so no, that's not the full story, or at least is missing many points.
control of machines is determined by a eye trait. maybe its blue or green eyes. maybe its asian eyes. what ever it is you dont have it and nobody else does so the last task the machines were given is carried out and since you dont have the eye trait your counted as invaders since every one used to have the eye trait in the city regardless of what level.
a man highjacked a bots body and has been looking for some one with the eye trait and never finds them . only to at the end of his journey have to go to a new city with its own levels. later bots become undead biomechanical monsters in another city in biomega and half way through that it turns into bug spacemen fighting to the death and then knights of sidonia is released and yes that is exactly the chronological sequence of events. in biomega its explained what happens when god rearranges the universe with no warning. connections to others and what you where changes retroactively. so blame and knights of sidonia represent a stable phase in the universe and biomega is the transitional phase but doesnt connect either perfectly leaving room for other phases not represented. i think the bear shows up in all but may be female or male
Themanga that influence the best manga of all time
My reaction exactly.
Let's discuss why the fuck is so great because I have the sensation I have read something magnificent yet unintelligible.
Killy started somewhere in the heart of the Dyson Megastructure (technically a Hyperstructure, since the orbit of it has expanded well beyond Jupiter by Log 8-9). Since then, he found the NTGs and had to take the embryonic sphere to the VERY edge of the structure, where there's no contamination; basically where the structure has expanded out to and beyond is hard vacuum forever.
THERE, the sphere finally gestates into a child. Then a decade or so passes, and then begins Killy and the child's journey BACK into the sphere until they can find a Net Terminal, so that the command sequence can be sent to reset the Net Sphere and allow the highest form of virtual reality to reassert dominance over base reality; and send command sequences out through the structure to disable the safeguard which have been corrupted and are indiscriminately committing genocide against ANY human (NTG holder or not).
By the events of BLAME^2, well over a thousand or more years have passed and the Safeguard are still active in disparate parts of the structure, because its so gargantuan by that point.
BLAME! is nothing short of magnificent, because it tells a very compelling story about victory against all odds, set in a chaotic world that spawned out of the control loss of an Upload Civilization. Deep Time and Post-Upload dystopia are quite interesting.
>every one used to have the eye trait in the city regardless of what level.
False, it's more like a special access thing which is why it was so rare, what the difference was back then was that everyone could access the net. Think of it like how everyone has their favorite password to use now, but very few use their retinas to unlock anything since it's not necessary. What happened was that the people with passwords no longer have that option and the few with retina access got killed by the contagion or get hunted down for being human.
Like, TOHA HEAVY INDUSTRIES here, is thousands if not tens of thousands of kilometers away from them. But its so friggin' huge, it looks like a giant pillar from so far away.
