oh! okay. that's cool. as long as it's being released sometime. I can't wait.

I hope we can get more news.... let's create the hype!!

It would sound just stupid, there isnt much point in having personal webpage when you're actually already known and active, fans are meant to do that.

in some what it can be useful in some circumstances to some kind of business, but famous mangakas usually dont spread updates trough own websites, agencies and publishers are meant.

I kinda wonder how much Nihei is even involved in the production process. Usually there's a little bit of input at the beginning and a little more as it goes on, but a lot of it is left up to the studio from what I understand. Depends on the series though I guess.

As for the movie, I don't expect to be impressed, but I thought the little I saw was a move in a good direction. There could be a few tweeks to some of the animations, but I thought they got the environment down pretty well. Thing is, you're never going to trump the source material when it's as good as this, so I don't see why people get all worked up when it inevitably falls short. With all the complaining I'd be surprised if they didn't drop it due to lack of fan support.

I dont think so.
In those geneon trailers I noticed backgrounds which were completely invented as they werent in the original comic, then regardless nihei's involvement or not, the movie's general style and direction makes a final fantasy versus dragonball of it that is what it actually looks like, which is plain bad.

I wouldnt support that just because there isnt anything else,
as fan of BLAME and nihei's works It's just my perspective to expect something decently appropriate

then also, its not just a matter of my own personal tastes because comic and this anime just doesnt match each other as the way first trailers were done bad enough to ruin the manga's reputation rather than increasing popularity
Movies like sin city or 300 actually are decent transpositions from their original comics I dont see why BLAME which is a far superior should be treaten like a B-series work

Am I the only one in this boards thinking lke that?

Wrong: Budget is not the key factor on this. I mean of course it will be low-budget anyway but if as you said is it supposed to be a niche movie, final fantasy-ish angry face-to-face rallenty shots are exactly one example of what to NOT do in a niche of a peculiar audience, why is this going to look like advent children or such then

Then also, actually the 6 OAV actually have some point and are indeed way better (also cheaper) than the CG one, (there are crazy artsy shots but at least theme isnt ruined by added glamour fantasy effects and moods)
so it actually is a matter of budget + target, AND they went trough it wrong;
again, with a fan-like perspective (you also said this was aimed to fans rather than wider audience) I think that was just inappropriate in any case
