Review of Blame (2018) by Mike_Rodriguez — 04 Aug 2017
The animation and the scenery design, and the lightining work are amazing (even with the monsters, the Netsphere hunters or Safeguards with poor modelings), I'm not a fan of Cell-Shaded-CGI animation, however the story for this film - wich is based and blended on the Nihei Tsutomu's manga - is too weak, messed up and cliché. The characters have nothing to tell, or personality whatsover, if you did not read the manga you wouldn't have any empathy for them. And the dark tone and the crazyness of the original were translated to this basic "silent cowboy saving a young pretty girl and her little town from the bad guys story" something like the Magnificent 7 or Samurai 7. At the end, you'll find out that they didin't take any risk by inserting almost none of the dark and wierd aspects of the manga on doing the script. Meh.
Stick with the manga instead, that is so MUCH better.
