Blame! will not be to every viewer's taste, given its favouring ideas and environments over heart and character, but it tells an interesting science fiction story.

Rated: 7/10

Asian Movie Pulse

The entertainment offered here is on a lower level than "Knights of Sidonia" whose many episodes gave the opportunity for a much richer story, but Blame! remains a well-animated and quite fun effort, that will definitely satisfy fans of techno-action.

Despite some unfortunately janky animation...and a predictable plot, Blame! is an effective film.

Rated: B

It's concise with strong characters, it's visually stunning, and the world is large and open enough to encourage viewers to imagine what else could be hiding the movie's many border.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild cell shading, The Matrix color scheme, Ghost in the Shell puppets, Doom titans, Akira/Trigun weapons, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within + Terminator plot, and a little Serial Experiments Lain style Battle Angel Alita. The camera moving more smoothly than the animation bothers me, but it's okay at double speed. 5/10 - Less tempo and world/gadget explanation than most of its inspiration.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

It can't quite convey the epic sense of scope in time and space of the manga, but it's a good short story. Think of it as a scifi western that's about the vibe rather than character development and it'll all make sense.

If you know the manga or if you like distopic SF with silences and visuals that win over dialogue and pure action, than Blame! is good for you too. Go Killy, go!

A very boring film with little to no action, boring characters, and a non-existent theme. If you re interested in this franchise or are a fan of it, just skip this movie.
