Blame

which is sort

of funny because it's not that much of a

story

I'm saying that because it has a

very little dialogue in it sometimes

chapters go on with no words at all

being spoken

it took six years to make

but you can read it in six hours but

then you'll probably miss the point

because the story isn't much told in the

words it's told through the journey

I'll

try and explain what I mean with that it

literally just about a guy walking

through this giant never-ending

structure

and I'm pretty sure the guy

Achille which is named doesn't really

know either what is happening because

it's been so long that he's been going

through it

and because of the lack of

dialogue you're really forced yourself

to figure out the story and it's also an

opportunity to make it your own

obviously you're giving a certain frame

for it but it's also why I don't really

want to talk about the story too much

because I I think everyone have their

own perception of what it is

Hidetaka Miyazaki the creator of Dark Souls

said himself that when he was a child he

loved to read but he wasn't very

talented at it so often he would read

passages of text that he couldn't

understand so he would instead allow his

imagination to fill in the blanks this

is exactly what blame is there's so much

empty space for you to fill with your

own imagination and it's almost like

you're co-writing the story with the

author which may seem a bit self selfish

but it also makes it so much more

personal I guess the creator of blame

tsumoto nihei shows that you can tell a

story with barely any dialogue and he

does this because he draws it so

beautifully me hey used to study

architecture and you can definitely tell

while reading through it some of the

scenery is just outstanding and it

really draws you in and even though it's

so dark and so grim you you still feel

like you want to be part of it and a

really weird and twisted way each each

page is a piece of art I think at least

I realize I'm talking about it like it's

some perfect piece of art but it's it's

really an action cyberpunk manga

it's it I sit that's all it is but it's

all know so much more flame came out on

Netflix as a movie which I guess is

surprising cuz it's pretty old and I

didn't really love the movie but I

thought at least now is a good chance

for me to talk about it because it is my

favorite manga and I figure now is good

time as ever to do that I love blame

because a lot of small reasons I love it

because the art improves so much just

from volume 1 to volume 2 it's so

interesting to see the artists grow

while making the manga and seeing him

improve I love because it's an 18 plus a

manga but it still takes itself

seriously enough not to overdo the gore

and all the sexual bits even though I do

love anime titties I love it because for

me it's like a friend it's a friend that

you can revisit whenever you feel like

it and you find out something new that

you didn't know before but it's still

nice to just revisit

I really love Blame I don't expect

anyone else to really like it it's

really not for everyone at all I just

love talking about it and I really just

want to say thank you to Tsumoto Nihei

hey for for making such a wonderful

piss of art
