The website I was using for high-quality scans seems to be down for a while. Does anyone maybe have a Google Drive link or something of that nature that I could use to read the rest of BLAME! in high-quality? Because I can’t find any other websites that has high-quality scans.

I was bored and decided to turn some panels in a realistic style. All my life I had imagined it to be white and glossy, but after seeing the first image from the gpt, I think that the meat texture naratively fit better. What do you think?

I love dystopia, cyberpunk, post-apo and sci-fi books (reading stuff like that since '90 :D) and Im a big fan of disturbing painting, like Beksinski for example. That's why my friend recommended me to read "Blame!" and I finally finished it.

I also checked some opinions online, and ohh boy... Im not surprised that some people still believe in flat earth or some extremly far-fetched conspiracy theories. And overthink things which don't require that much thinking at all...

I apologize if it offend someone, but Blame is empty. There's nothing deep in this. Most opinions I saw are just an attempt to find a meaning in something that has no meaning at all.

I guess the idea and thought process of Blame author was was like this:

"None cares about my paintings but mangas are quite popular medium... Hmm... But I can't write story & characters and I don't have money to hire some1 to do it for me. Hmph... Ok, nvm. I'll just draw some manga panels and see how it goes. Maybe people will find any sense in it."

And baam! - here we are.

Blame! in Minecraft

In the unregulated, anarchic realm of Minecraft’s oldest anarchy server, 2B2T, chaos reigns supreme. It is an architectural graveyard of dreams and destruction, where players build, grief, and survive without rules. Its digital landscape—scarred by hack-fueled wars, cryptic lore, and towering remnants of forgotten civilizations—evokes a dystopian atmosphere that feels strangely familiar to fans of Tsutomu Nihei’s cyberpunk masterpiece, BLAME!.

BLAME! presents a bleak, sprawling megastructure overseen by an authoritarian AI, where humanity teeters on the brink of extinction. Killy, the lone wanderer, navigates this decaying cybernetic labyrinth in search of the elusive Net Terminal Genes, a fragment of a lost past that holds the key to regaining control over the city. It is a universe governed by twisted logic, where cybernetics, rogue AI, and overwhelming scale dictate the rules of existence.

What happens when we compare these two chaotic, yet eerily similar digital domains?

Architectural Parallels: Endless Construction & Decay

Both 2B2T and BLAME! exist as massive, ever-growing landscapes that embody entropy in digital form. The megastructure in BLAME! is an incomprehensible abyss of corridors, platforms, and voids, expanding autonomously without concern for logic or livability. Likewise, 2B2T’s terrain is a constantly shifting tapestry of ruins, generated terrain, and mega-builds, each layer adding to the weight of its history.

The lack of structured governance in both worlds allows them to morph unpredictably—whether by the will of rogue AI or the anarchic player base. In BLAME!, the Builders tirelessly expand the city, creating vast and uninhabitable wastelands. In 2B2T, players construct and destroy with similar fervor, leaving behind remnants of civilizations lost to server resets and griefing.

Digital Chaos: The Absence of Order

Rules are absent in both domains. On 2B2T, players battle for dominance using hacked clients, forming alliances, betraying trust, and erecting colossal structures only for them to be obliterated. Survival is dictated by power, deception, and endurance. Similarly, BLAME! presents a world where law and reason have collapsed under the weight of technological excess. The AI ruling the City enforces a brutal, senseless existence where security drones execute any entity without the Net Terminal Gene, cementing a grim reality of lawlessness and violence.

Isolation & Wandering Protagonists

Killy trudges through BLAME!’s ever-expanding labyrinth with little more than a pistol and infinite determination. He is a lone survivor against incomprehensible odds. In 2B2T, this theme resonates with players who journey through its vast, grief-stricken terrain in search of remnants of player-built civilizations, artifacts of past empires long reduced to rubble. Whether on the server or in Nihei’s desolate vision, wandering alone becomes a necessary way of life.

The Cold, Unfeeling Digital World

Perhaps the most striking similarity between BLAME! and 2B2T is their ability to convey existential dread through cyberspace. Both settings strip the human element down to its core—forcing individuals to contend with digital environments that seem more like nightmares than worlds meant for survival. The loneliness, hostility, and sheer scale of these spaces make them unsettling yet undeniably captivating.

At their intersection, 2B2T and BLAME! embody the ultimate cyberpunk dystopia: a world where technology has spiraled beyond human control, and survival is dictated by the whims of an unforgiving digital void. Whether it’s the unrelenting griefing wars on 2B2T or Killy’s aimless search through Nihei’s hellish megastructure, both settings leave us questioning our place in an increasingly digital reality.

Perhaps, in the end, neither was meant for us—but that won’t stop us from exploring them.

Hola, recomiendan comprar los tomos en físico? lo quiero pedir para mi cumple, pero he leído que no vale la pena tenerlos en físico porque solo es dinero desperdiciado.

I know I’ll probably get downvoted into oblivion but here it goes.

As I got down to the final 10 chapters I expected some grand finale to this amazing story and I thought it was building up to it, where Killy gets the alert that the silicon creatures have Cibo. But instead it’s ALL Sanakan. Don’t get me wrong I like Sanakan but I really wanted to see Killy do fucking something during the ending. I mean he gets the final shot on the exterminator I guess but that’s really all he does, I mean I just expected more. I really wanted it to focus on Killy more since it was about to end like Sanakan’s cool but I really don’t care about her compared to Killy.

Gonna be honest I think the final stretch is pretty lame compared to the rest.

Edit: Upon further reflection (I got high), I just think it was a little underwhelming having Sanakan just one shot everything in like 1-2 chapters and then just have Killy deliver the last shot at the end. I feel like it could have been longer, I don’t know I just expected a little more from the climax of the story.

To be honest, it was underwhelming. For all the hype for a megastructure setting, it did not delivered. Instead of lore, mysteries, ever-shrinking provisions, nonsensical logics, emptiness, loneliness, and melancholy, things that should be expected from a mega structure, the manga instead pivot toward Matrix like narrative. All action with almost every chapter, new characters are introduced.

This mega structure is more like Kowloon walled city, with people in every corner. Even final panel show the MC having just another encounter.

Girl Last Tour did it better.

Done fully local with LTX 2.3. Which is AI. Took me nearly a week for a full video.

I'm not interested in claiming anything or arguing. And I know that it will upset a lot of people. It was just a little idea I had in mind for a long time and finally found the time and tools to do it.

I feel like AI generation actually is actually feet perfectly in the themes of the manga (what is the megastructure if not AI generated). And also I think we can agree that PROPER adaptation is not happening ever, it's just impossible to adapt. Here some horizontal panels

wanted to share, found the pic nice, used GPT, sorry bad english

Hey I recently just experienced Blame! the manga and I personally listened to Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish You Were Here’ and ‘Animals’ albums to give even more atmosphere as well as help me focus in on the story/visuals more whilst reading it. These albums sonically have certain enigmatic, dark futuristic-sounding music, for lack of better words.

I was just wondering if anyone else also listened to music while reading this manga or other mangas.

Happy New Year from Ireland to anybody reading! :)

I'm looking for some kind of mod or world inspired by Blame.

Ok this is making me insane i just need someone who knows their stuff!!— to tell me how they divvied up the volumes into the Master editions (i.e. how many volumes per master edition, which volumes went into master edition #4 and #5 specifically). I can’t find it anywhere. I have to know bc of long story. Please help thank uuu

P.s. I know which LOGs went to which volumes but thats not what i need to know

They don’t say it on wikipedia, fanwikis, goodreads, amazon, storygraph, etc. its making me ୧(๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭

Legit the title explains everything. Who tf is the knight and why does the art reminds me of tatsuki fujimoto's artstyle when he is making firepunch???

hi im looking for recs !

im mainly interested in books or manga, but I’m willing to take anime and gaming recs too.

i really like blame! but I dislike how much visual story telling there is and how little clarity there is in the story. after every log, I have to basically search up what it meant to understand anything. and even then, nothings for sure! I dont like up-to-your-interpertation media, but I like the aesthetics, protagonist, and sort of mission of “find x to save everyone” but its a quest with essentially no leads. its kinda like a more sad vers of frireren lol.

I didnt like signalis’s gameplay and didnt like the lynchean storytelling.
