Review: Bleak Sci-fi Cyberpunk Epic - When Netflix picked up the Knights of Sidonia anime I was incredibly excited, not because Knights is especially good but because it gave me hope that the author's far better work "Blame!" would finally get a reprint. Now it has been and regular people can own a copy without having to sell a major organ. The story takes place in an absolutely vast machine structure that likely spans all of existence or at least eventually will. It's a chaotic and bewildering space of nonsensical architecture that seems to have been designed by a computer that was never told to stop building and then further built upon or dismantled by various creatures and human societies. Most of the value in "Blame!" lies in gawping at the beautifully drawn vistas that are chock full of details that fire the imagination, every time I read it through I notice another little flourish and occasionally I find myself flipping back a few pages to get another look at a sprawling city or desolate metal waste that left an impression. The story opens with the morally grey main character Killy, "Kirie" in this translation, travelling with a boy when he is sees an approaching figure, sensing danger Killy shoots the stranger just as he reveals himself to be an inhuman, half machine monster. Who the boy is is never overtly revealed, why the man attacked isn't clear. The book leaves a great deal of the plot for the reader to figure out, even when there is action it often appears like a number of events happened between panels and it's up to you to read the aftermath to figure out what took place. There's hardly any dialogue which serves to make the world feel all that much larger and isolating. Constantly you are presented with new societies of wildly varying technological advancement, new races of humans, strange benign species, hellish cenobite looking pursuers and cold machine armies of unclear intent. Blame! is endlessly fascinating and full of ideas and concepts that leave you thinking long after putting it down and eager to pick it up to leaf through it's pages once more. It's always been bewildering to me that Blame! never became a major success, there are few mangas that I've read that can even compare to it's quality.
Review: Brilliant book - Much cheaper than in book stores. Arrived as described. Great manga, would definitely recommend for the more experienced manga fan
