The God of Cyber-Punk Manga

Talking about the Cyber-punk manga classic, BLAME! and some of what I think makes it so special. It's influences and how it made history. The classic manga starring Kyrii or Killy is the work of Tsutomu Niheis, and still stands the test of time.

Blame seems like a great manga with incredible yet terrifying art, and it is with this art that it tells it story following a "show, don't tell" type of philosophy. And an amazing edited video by favorite Bag boy! the music is really good and fits the vibe of the manga you put a lot of work in those manga edits to make them move so rest well :hiding3love: :hiding3headpat:

Love BLAME! Discovered this manga, and Tsutomu Nihei back in my teens, during the mid 00s, and instantly fell in love with it. The gritty style, messy inking, skewed perspectived, and sleek well designed architecture, have become permanent aesthetics I forever gravitate to. Abara, and Biomega are phenomenal too.

[@jackderaway]

“Failure isn’t some all mighty sin. It’s just that... failure. And there will always be someone there to try again.” BOOM!

[@masterzoroark6664]

Also: First- awesome work with making those panels ankmated. It probably was very hard since they are so detailed, cutting those characters to move must have been pain. Second- of Blame had proper anime, like series anime, I would want to hear that music you used in your vid as an ending theme, that jingle when you said your ending statement on Blams. It creates similar vibes to "Tell me why" by Penpallas in Berserk OP (the old berserk anime)

[@PERSONAfan01]

What you described is the essence of the works of Tsutomu Nihei. In all his works things get really bad, but they always find a way to persevere. It's not a campy and everything ends happily ever after and all the bad stuff just goes away, but more of we solved the main problem, the damage is done, but we can make it better. They stopped the City's non stop chaotic growth, but now we got to find and connect with the surviving communities, map out the City, and shut down the remaining Safeguard servers that aren't connected to the network.
