Intended as a companion piece to the popular manga series, BLAME! was created by international comics artist Tsutomu Nihei. Made up of six short, five minute episodes, BLAME! is a fast-paced visual and aural spectacle. Thousands of years in the future, all that is left of the civilization of mankind are machines that continue to unthinkingly build massive cities where few survivors live. In this alienating mechanical world, the remainders of mankind evade the dangerous silicon creatures and attempt to survive with the information on the ancient data disc discovered by heroic Cibo. Although it may be difficult to comprehend without prior knowledge of the manga series, BLAME! is still a stunning visual Animé.
