WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en-US 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.940 Hey! It's another video that no one asked for, and it's completely irrelevant and not topical *Smart Pewds* 00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:08.520 Anymore... 00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:10.980 Blame or should I say Balam? 00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.140 *mocking voice* "Uh, excuse me, it's pronounced Balaam after the sound of the gun." 00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:16.620 No one gives a shit. Shut- Shut up 00:00:16.620 --> 00:00:20.760 But the movie came out, and I make movie reviews right now. That's right 00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.860 I made a video talking about my favourite manga blam, blaam. 00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:25.520 Fuck. 00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:27.620 So... I'm gonna try and not, eh 00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:29.888 Repeat too much of what I said. 00:00:29.888 --> 00:00:37.720 But basically there's another anime movie adaptation. Anime movie adaptation. Out on Netflix. Thank you Netflix 00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:40.460 (EAR RAPE) For nothing! Thank You Netflix for making me embarrassed 00:00:40.660 --> 00:00:45.680 For liking my favorite piece of art, and also thank you Netflix 00:00:46.300 --> 00:00:53.500 for making what was already a mess of adaptations, into it even further, so, we have Blame! the original 00:00:53.500 --> 00:00:56.460 and we have Blame! and so on which is like 00:00:57.360 --> 00:00:59.699 Aeh... Well, I guess we explain a little bit more 00:00:59.699 --> 00:01:05.699 We didn't tell you that much did we and then we have a blam the anime which people really view as something in high 00:01:05.830 --> 00:01:07.680 Regards just as this review 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:13.470 I have never rated anything 1 out of 10 until I encountered but great 00:01:13.470 --> 00:01:19.109 Do you see what I'm going here is it's already so confusing what blam is because there's already these different adaptations 00:01:19.509 --> 00:01:26.069 Everywhere that are so goddamn bad when the original one is a masterpiece. We have blam the prologue 00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:33.749 what in the fuck is I never even heard of this and then we have blam the special what and that's pretty much it just 00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:38.609 Kidding, there's also the prequel, which is actually pretty good the peak was alright and now 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:44.640 Thank you. We have blam the shitty movie. Just kidding. We also have blam 00:01:45.189 --> 00:01:51.898 Dinky Rio, she kick in cash so - shoot soo sach Hussein which is a remake? 00:01:54.250 --> 00:02:01.529 And apparently the movies made as an adaptation of the remake, what didn't the what is what? 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.999 Why ah oh and also did I mention they all share the same universe as other animes like Knights of Cydonia? 00:02:09.369 --> 00:02:15.309 Now this is not compute at all. It's even confusing why this movie exists to begin with because 00:02:15.889 --> 00:02:17.889 Vayam is not very popular 00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:19.400 It was written in 00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:22.299 1994 it's it's the kind of thing where either you love it 00:02:22.299 --> 00:02:27.459 Or you hate it, and those kind of things doesn't really translate well into into it other adaptations 00:02:27.459 --> 00:02:34.688 at least it doesn't have a good track record of it the reason why it's a movie is because Netflix owned the 00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:40.959 original series of night of Cydonia which was made by the same creator as bland eight Knights of Cydonia 00:02:41.540 --> 00:02:44.230 Don't get me wrong. It's not bad, but it's basically 00:02:44.230 --> 00:02:48.609 I don't want to be too harsh, but it's basically the sell-out version of blame 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:55.209 It's not a bad anime by any means, but if you compare the two of them. It's goddamn awful 00:02:56.180 --> 00:03:03.790 If I compare them, I would say integrity and no integrity it's like how can we make something really really popular, okay? 00:03:03.790 --> 00:03:06.370 Well, let's have what's popular. Oh, yeah, mecha 00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.219 Okay, what else do people like they like to see? 00:03:09.799 --> 00:03:14.769 Sexy underwear and boobies okay, that's that and okay. I don't know how to explain it 00:03:14.900 --> 00:03:20.349 Okay, the story of bland the simple synopsis took me 00:03:20.349 --> 00:03:27.548 So goddamn long to figure out it was you're thrown into this universe in the manga, and you have to figure out yourself 00:03:27.650 --> 00:03:30.310 What is going on what the heck is happening and? 00:03:30.829 --> 00:03:33.219 understanding, but the movie starts and 00:03:33.799 --> 00:03:35.689 It just tells you 00:03:35.689 --> 00:03:37.689 nobody really knows 00:03:38.509 --> 00:03:42.969 When the world became this way the contagion suddenly started and 00:03:43.370 --> 00:03:49.419 Humans lost the power to connect with the city the city continued to expand on its own in humans 00:03:49.970 --> 00:03:51.530 We're seen as 00:03:51.530 --> 00:03:53.530 illegal residents 00:03:53.540 --> 00:03:55.540 and exterminated 00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.439 It's like if you worked your whole day to get an ice-cream 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.488 And then all the sudden everyone just gets ice creams for free 00:04:03.889 --> 00:04:09.849 That's how I would kiss a terrible way to compare obviously they have to explain. What is happening. It's a one-hour 00:04:10.939 --> 00:04:14.589 46 minute movie Betty, I don't know just watching it 00:04:14.590 --> 00:04:16.959 I'm not the main plot of blame is 00:04:17.419 --> 00:04:24.938 that the guy needs to find net terminal genes so he can connect to the net sphere that which will shut down all the 00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:30.500 robots that has been ruining the planet for years and just kept building and building and building and 00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:34.300 fighting against them the next fear is sort of like a 00:04:34.820 --> 00:04:42.580 reincarnation of the Internet in a in a futuristic way the main reason I find them to be it such a 00:04:42.889 --> 00:04:46.329 Masterpiece is because it doesn't try and tell you a story 00:04:46.430 --> 00:04:51.759 It puts you in the universe and you're you are left to figure it out yourself now admittedly 00:04:52.610 --> 00:04:54.939 The writer had so moany hey 00:04:55.520 --> 00:05:03.219 Isn't a good storyteller, and he's basically just avoiding explaining anything. There's very little logic behind anything and 00:05:04.729 --> 00:05:09.579 It sort of makes it open for interpretation you see this in a lot of movies and 00:05:10.430 --> 00:05:13.269 Stories where it's so vague that 00:05:13.969 --> 00:05:15.849 You have to fill it in yourself 00:05:15.849 --> 00:05:21.849 And it almost makes it like I feel like it's a basic human instinct that if we were not told 00:05:22.520 --> 00:05:25.000 Everything of something we want to fill that ourselves 00:05:25.250 --> 00:05:31.869 We fill it with what we think makes sense and therefore we value it higher than what it is 00:05:32.210 --> 00:05:38.379 Which might make you question was it even that great to begin with then but let's not talk about that 00:05:39.379 --> 00:05:41.649 now blam takes place in 00:05:42.889 --> 00:05:44.889 Such a long time 00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:48.050 That time 00:05:48.050 --> 00:05:55.300 becomes irrelevant if you look at the whole universe ok, let's say, this is the time of the universe and 00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:57.189 This is the time 00:05:57.189 --> 00:06:04.479 We've existed as human beings ok, what if we stretched out that time super duper long 00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:06.520 Huh then you can tell a story 00:06:07.099 --> 00:06:09.699 During a small period and then jump ahead 00:06:09.770 --> 00:06:15.729 and it wouldn't really make that much of a difference as opposed to if you'd have it this much and 00:06:16.009 --> 00:06:20.799 Then like we are now this is making me sense. Oh my god, right 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:26.589 I'm no Neil deGrasse Tyson, okay, but so if you have like a really small time 00:06:26.589 --> 00:06:29.679 And then you jump a lot you will be like whoa what happened here 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:34.210 But since we have such a long amount of time passing we can it makes time 00:06:34.790 --> 00:06:37.150 irrelevant and there's such a long time placing 00:06:37.400 --> 00:06:38.530 Going through the anime 00:06:38.530 --> 00:06:40.340 and there's so many different events and 00:06:40.340 --> 00:06:46.869 Different interesting things that you could make the movie out of what did they pick the movie to make about this goddamn fisherman village? 00:06:47.210 --> 00:06:52.479 Why the heck would you make it about these fishermen it doesn't make any sense at all it's the most 00:06:52.670 --> 00:06:57.279 Uninteresting piece of the whole universe I don't care about those people 00:06:58.190 --> 00:07:00.340 Who the heck are they I don't even know 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:07.029 What about making it when he meets *Someones Name*? What about when Devine try to enter the net sphere? 00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:09.850 Anything would be goddamn more important? 00:07:10.550 --> 00:07:13.869 than this stupid fisherman now a lot of people criticize the 00:07:14.630 --> 00:07:19.300 this type of movie because of the CGI is made by polygon pictures and 00:07:19.940 --> 00:07:27.850 I really like this type of style. I think it looks great in Knights of Cydonia. It just doesn't fit Blame! because Blame!, it's 00:07:28.370 --> 00:07:30.370 so grungy and 00:07:31.610 --> 00:07:36.909 The style is so heavy, but here it's the sort of way too plain 00:07:36.910 --> 00:07:41.710 I really think I would have preferred to see this in a traditional drawn anime style even though 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:50.379 Typically I I'm not opposed to CGI in anime which probably most people don't agree with look how neat and polished it looks 00:07:51.050 --> 00:07:58.990 Compared to like the manga it just falls so flat a classic a reoccurring theme that I find with a lot of re 00:07:59.330 --> 00:08:03.050 Remakes and reallocation is that they don't seem to understand what made it good? 00:08:03.050 --> 00:08:09.199 There's this bit where she takes off her helmet for Achille the main character, and oh there you go cute little blushy 00:08:09.780 --> 00:08:16.399 Blushing cheeks. Oh look at that little tears in her eyes so dramatic. Oh, she's blushing for kilee 00:08:16.400 --> 00:08:19.009 Oh, that's so cute. No. No it's fucking not 00:08:19.110 --> 00:08:26.360 It's not cute Blame! has absolutely no romance in it and it's an adult manga that doesn't go overboard with the gore 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.980 And there's no sexual tension 00:08:28.980 --> 00:08:33.960 Or a reference. There's no as much as a lot of anime tits there's none of it in blam 00:08:34.050 --> 00:08:36.050 But then you go and have like 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:42.490 Some romance aspects of this and it's just kind of like 00:08:43.669 --> 00:08:51.039 Why why, would you why. lets just re-change this video to angry swedish rants about anime this is so stupid 00:08:51.040 --> 00:08:52.150 I don't know why I even care 00:08:52.150 --> 00:08:56.660 But it just it's like if you're gonna make a remake at least respect and understand 00:08:57.020 --> 00:09:04.360 What made the original good ok major spoiler coming up just look away the way they introduced her is here 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:09.200 They show her right away the introduction of Cibo one of my favorite parts of 00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:16.120 Favorite introduction of any character in any anime ain't any manga here. Here they introduced her. They show her right away 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.840 Look I'm Kiba. Oh great now 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:33.040 we know this is how Cibo is introduced in the manga ok she's this disgusting thing that he founds in the sewer and 00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:37.270 She's and you didn't even know the gender but basically she's like oh 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:43.299 I've been here for a long time I, I, I, need your help. I promise. I'm a big deal ok 00:09:44.090 --> 00:09:49.660 I've been here for a thousand of, for thousands of years. Yeah, I can help you out. If you help me out ok 00:09:49.660 --> 00:09:51.400 I promise I'm a big deal 00:09:51.400 --> 00:09:57.579 I'm a scientist ok I'm a scholar in the most perfect moment Cibo appears and bam 00:09:57.590 --> 00:10:00.309 She's a strong independent woman ok 00:10:00.550 --> 00:10:04.240 She's got her own body back again and look at that super cool 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:10.570 And you're like whoa she's actually not a disgusting homeless person, and its dope it's dope to find that out, but here 00:10:10.570 --> 00:10:16.629 They're like. Oh, I'm Cibo. Oh great now from this point onward. I'm pretty lost in the movie 00:10:16.790 --> 00:10:18.999 they basically reduced the 00:10:19.550 --> 00:10:24.849 Story from we need to save humanity, to these people need some food because they are hungry 00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:28.760 It's about to break down the 00:10:28.820 --> 00:10:31.600 gravitational beam emitter 00:10:31.820 --> 00:10:36.040 And you're like hell yeah. The most powerful weapon in the universe 00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:38.160 It's basically. The, the, the 00:10:38.810 --> 00:10:42.579 the gun version of the one punch man this thing will blow through anything 00:10:42.740 --> 00:10:46.240 That's the point of the gun it's a huge part of the story. 00:10:46.310 --> 00:10:52.239 It's almost like a character on its own. The Blame! is not Blame! without the gun. It's even in the name 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.180 You know this thing will blast through anything. That's why it's so cool. Oh, I can't wait for him to finally shoot that bitch 00:10:59.269 --> 00:11:04.539 I'll never mind she can just block it. What are you amazed she can block it what you ruined it 00:11:04.540 --> 00:11:05.920 You ruined it. You ruined it for me 00:11:05.920 --> 00:11:10.659 I don't get it the thing about the gun is that it can pull it through anything. That's how he gets past 00:11:11.389 --> 00:11:14.889 Certain levels in the manga you can't just stop 00:11:15.529 --> 00:11:17.060 you can't just 00:11:17.060 --> 00:11:22.560 You can't just do that the reason why I love Blame! so much is because it's not your traditional 00:11:23.660 --> 00:11:26.960 Sci-fi it doesn't have all the spaceship flying into space 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.320 *pew pew noises* 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:35.200 All that Hollywood sci-fi bullshit it has this raw take over this dystopian future 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:42.880 And it doesn't just try and tell a story it even brings in philosophical thoughts, and I always saw that as a merge of 00:11:43.940 --> 00:11:45.019 reality 00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:46.279 internet and 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:53.229 Religion sort of into one idea that in the future in Blame! you have the net sphere which is basically 00:11:53.420 --> 00:11:55.920 like reincarnation of 00:11:56.900 --> 00:12:02.640 The Internet in a futuristic set and it sort of blends the idea of religion and 00:12:03.220 --> 00:12:09.500 Internet in a really funny and weird way what if we created our own heaven you know and 00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:13.688 because all the bad guys try to sneak into the net sphere and 00:12:13.819 --> 00:12:19.539 That's sort of their goal and the rest of the people outside of the net sphere tries to connect to it as well! 00:12:19.540 --> 00:12:23.110 But they lot long lost access to it so it almost like we turned 00:12:23.209 --> 00:12:27.518 Ourselves the planet our own planet into hell and we made our own heaven 00:12:27.709 --> 00:12:34.029 Which is the net sphere the internet, connecting to the internet? I don't know this is how I interpret it and I'm sure 00:12:34.819 --> 00:12:39.649 Most people probably wouldn't even be like what the fuck are you're saying, but that's what I really like about Blame! 00:12:39.649 --> 00:12:44.869 Is that you can it's open for interpretation, and it's fun to do that read the manga. It's really great and 00:12:45.839 --> 00:12:48.768 I'll stop talking about Blame! now. Thank you for listening to my 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:51.440 angry anime rant and! 00:12:51.930 --> 00:12:57.560 Leave a like if you enjoyed really appreciate it remember to subscribe and Skwad fam out
