00:00:00.020 --> 00:00:06.940
Hey! It's another video that no one asked for, and it's completely irrelevant and not topical *Very Smart*

00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:08.520
Anymore... :l

00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:10.980
Blame or should I say Balam?

00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:15.140
*stupid 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 sh*t. 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 (OK)

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
F*ck.

00:00:25.520 --> 00:00:27.620
So... I'm gonna try and not, eh

00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:29.860
Repeat too much of what I said.

00:00:29.860 --> 00:00:35.820
But basically there's another anime movie adaptation.*Whoa* Out on Netflix.
Anime movie adaptation. Out on Netflix. Thank you Netflix

00:00:31.930 --> 00:00:36.599
Anime movie adaptation. Out on Netflix. Thank you Netflix

00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:37.720
Thank you, Netflix *holy music plays*

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 an 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 --> 00:00:59.700
Aeh... Well, I guess we explain a little bit more

00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:06.080
We didn't tell you that much did we and then we have a "Blame!" the anime which people really view as something in high regards

00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:07.680
Just as this review

00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:13.470
"I have never rated anything 1 out of 10 until I encountered Bla..." Great!

00:01:13.470 --> 00:01:19.880
Do you see what I'm going here is it's already so confusing what Blame! is because there's already these different adaptations everywhere

00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:26.060
that are so goddamn bad when the original one is a masterpiece. We have blam the prologue

00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:33.740
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

00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.620
Kidding, there's also the prequel, which is actually pretty good the prequel 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
Denki Ryoushi Kiken Kaisou Dasshutsu Sakusen which is a remake?

00:01:54.250 --> 00:02:01.529
And apparently the movies made as an adaptation of the remake, what in 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 confusing at all. It's even confusing why this movie exists to begin with because

00:02:15.889 --> 00:02:17.889
blam 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 blam.  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

00:02:48.640 --> 00:02:55.220
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 --> 00:03:03.800
If I compare them, I would say integrity and no integrity it's like how can we make something really really popular, okay?

00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.380
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 blam 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 this is 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 But, I don't know just watching it

00:04:14.590 --> 00:04:16.959
I'm nah-  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 net sphere 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 Tsutomu Nihei

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

00:05:32.200 --> 00:05:36.360
Which might make you question "Was it even that great to begin with then?"

00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.360
But uuh let's not talk about that

00:05:39.380 --> 00:05:42.100
now Blame takes place in

00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:44.880
Such a long time

00:05:46.400 --> 00:05:48.050
That time

00:05:48.050 --> 00:05:49.480
becomes irrelevant

00:05:50.220 --> 00:05:56.020
If you look at the whole universe ok, let's say, this is the time of the universe and

00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:57.180
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

00:06:09.760 --> 00:06:15.720
and it wouldn't really make that much of a difference as opposed to if you'd have it this much and

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:17.800
and then like we are now-

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:20.000
This isn't making any sense. Oh my god

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:20.800
I'm trying

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:26.580
I'm no Neil deGrasse Tyson, okay, but so if you have like a really small time

00:06:26.580 --> 00:06:29.680
And then you jump a lot you will be like whoa what happened here

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:33.160
But since we have such a long amount of time passing we can jump

00:06:33.340 --> 00:06:37.140
It makes time 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 --> 00:06:45.340
Different interesting things that you could make the movie out of. What did they pick the movie to make about?

00:06:45.340 --> 00:06:47.200
This goddamn fisherman village!

00:06:47.200 --> 00:06:52.460
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 Dhomochevsky? 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

00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.360
so grungy and

00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:37.200
The style is so heavy, but here it's the sort of way too plain

00:07:37.220 --> 00:07:42.180
I really think I would have preferred to see this in a traditional drawn anime style even though

00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:50.380
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

00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:58.980
Compared to like the manga it just falls so flat a classic a reoccurring theme that I find with a lot of re

00:07:59.320 --> 00:08:03.040
Remakes and re-adaptations is that they don't seem to understand what made it good?

00:08:03.050 --> 00:08:09.180
There's this bit where she takes off her helmet for kilee 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

00:08:34.040 --> 00:08:36.040
But then you go and have like

00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:42.500
Some romance aspects of this and it's just kinda like

00:08:43.660 --> 00:08:51.040
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 is 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 Cibo. 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
oh never mind she can just block it. What do you mean 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 lo- 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!
