I really wanna watch the show but these came out last year: https://youtu.be/WtPcFnSWD6U?t=1m8s
So I might want until I get around to getting those.

While I can't say that the style is growing on me I can say that with each passing iteration, Sidonia, then Ajin, and now this, I am growing more and more accustomed to this form of 3d.
Can't believe how long it's been though. I saw the trailer and said to myself "It can't have been that long. 20 years?".
Then I realized how I first read it in early 2000s and... yeah.

Seems a bit too dramatic and talkative, but I guess there's no way they would adapt the manga as is. Also is that Cibo in Sanakan's role?
There is a
in this as well as in Knights of Sidonia afaik (haven't read that one). That lead some people to believe it's in the same universe, but different timeline (Biomega is a prequel for ex). Unless Nihei has said anything about it, given what's happening in Biomega I don't think they're connected.

Wow that looked really good! Although the manga was confusing a lot of the times, the set up and world is amazing, can't wait to see it animated.
I think the only one we know to be truly connected would be NOiSE
Different studio from Berserk. This is from Polygon Pictures who worked on Star Wars Clone Wars, Tron Uprising, Knights Of Sidonia and Ajin.
Yeah every other names that cross over from his other series are made for laughs really and not to be taken seriously.

This.
Trailer didn't inspire confidence that the adaptation will be good.
Read it!

While not entirely successful, this earlier anime adaptation captured the mood effectively.

The visuals for this actually look pretty fantastic.
I am still...hesitant about the new characters and framing. I know they're compressing a lot of the manga into one movie thingy so the long, meandering and often reams of pages of blank space won't work in that context but as a result the feel of the movie is going to be a bit different to the tone of the manga. Also the new characters seem superfluous in that way adaptations like to do because a character isn't a self-insert or someone they wanna be friends with. Couple that with the "only one man can save humanity" tagline...eh.
I'll remain hopeful though that it's fun.

I just got the manga, so gonna read it before the movie. Movie looks really nice, at least in framing, if not in the CGI.

I'm under the impression that they aren't new characters but redesigned and expanded roles for existing characters.
I've been waiting for this.

I don't get it. Everything about that looked like generic anime.
Heck, even the main girl has this weird cutesy thing about her. :/

One of my favorite manga. I mentioned in the anime thread that this looks like an abridged version, which apparently it definitely is since it is a movie.
There's going to be a lot of stuff missing. One of the strongest points of the manga is oddly its slowness.
If someone here hasn't read the manga and plans to read the manga or watch the film, don't look up other information on this property. I've seen a couple of sites spoil what I'd consider a major part of the world of Blame!

Captures the mood, but not enough of the MC (Killy) walking. Also can't really do tribute to the art in the manga which is why I thought an anime doing the manga justice would never be made.
Read it man!
I actually liked how they basically admitted defeat that they had no chance in hell to recreate the original series, and upped the more surrealistic aspects of the atmosphere.
The use of color and sound design was impeccable

Very minimal on action (likely lacking budget) but that OVA is leaps and bounds closer to the manga, stylistically and tonally. Night and day difference.

That music that plays at the end with the title sounds very similar to The Game Has Changed from the Tron soundtrack.

Good to know. Reading manga now.
The more I see the trailer the more unhappy I am about this adaptation
Compare it to the previous adaptation

The red is blinding me. Is that really what the anime looks like?
Yes.
It's based off the some of the colored illustrations of the original manga, which mostly used very bold red or blue when not being shades of black and white.

I agree.That looks much more faithful to the manga.
