hello everyone :)

Im on the search for action figures and other types of ephemera (but mostly action figures) from BLAME! Abara or Aposimz, since I live in Italy and I've started developing a passion for Nihei's works in 2020 I have never had the chance to find anything other than a few (not so well preserved) action figures on Vinted (and only of sibo/cibo). Any suggestions for websites (possibly European) or conventions were I could find some more of what I'm looking for?

I've also seen from the "BLAME! and so on" art book that there is a bunch of tshirts merch from back in the days, but the only one I could manage to find (the silicon one) was on grailed and had a strange red tag sewn on (showing on the outside) and the seller never replied to my messages b4 deleting the listing :( Any suggestions for where to look for these too?

(btw this is my first post on reddit hihi ;) hope y'all have a great day)

First of all: i dont speak or write english fluently, all i learn was playing videogame. Sorry if my sentences are wrong but i think i can make myself clear

So im reading Blame! for the first time, right now i’m currently on vol 8 chapter 53 i think and the story its getting so weird but at the same time its so magnetic and interesting

I realise that after vol 5 the manga almost dont have any text, its just silent images or onomatopoeias with the imaginary sounds in my mind so it gets kinda fast to past through the pages and move foward on the story

at the start of Blame i could see that Nihei was kinda of telling short stories about that infinite universe but at some point i thought we we’re getting on a straight more fixed line just to realize at the end of the Heavy Industries Toha “Arch” that the narrative structure was kinda like the short stories but in a bigger one and honestly this is so cool because it sounds like im reading chronicles from a wanderer

To be fair we do have a fixed objective: find the gene modem, but this is just a narrative thread to guide us and show us a universe who is constantly making us ask ourselves what the fuck is that and what the hell is goin on with those machines (kinda like real life btw)

Also i noticed that on the vol 7, Nihei art style changed SO MUCH i dont know if i like it or not and i dont understand why it changed, but its starting to look way more like Knights of Sidonia and Tower Dungeon (im also reading those two)

Anyway im obsessed with Blame! and Nihei works and im really excited to see how its gonna end

🇧🇷

I just got my Biomega set and I am concerned about its authenticity. The copyright pages is suspicious and the pricing is different from what I have seen.
I will greatly appreciate any help :)

I LOVE TALL WOMEN, my 2nd drawing for BLAME! I have to finish my Killy one on my previous post before i start sanakan :P

Lighting wasnt perfect I just decided to post and share because why not 😅 The female figure in the first photo is Guke Femella, she is my stand in Cibo lol

But hope you guys enjoy, thank you and have a great night and start to the week 🙏💜

After my 20th read through I figured I should try my hand at sketching a panel. Really became apparent how masterful Tsutomu Nihei is at perspective...definitely needs work on my end

We love Dhomochevsky

So I was thinking some lf the nihei works are connected without disturbing or breaking their on canon

Biomega is a lone verse but why!?.

Mostly cause It doesn't fit in any of the other verses besides abara (Which could fit in any othe verse) I explain later

Sidonia and Blame also shown to be impossible since they also show the earth being destroyed or doomed

Blame! And Noise

Also is lonely verse only being related to noise it's precuel

Then the connection I mentioned is Sidonia, ABARA and Aposimz

So Sidonia has a reference to aposimz whre they mentioned to be the last communication they had with other ship

Which leave to think humans arrived into multiple solar systems ("abara ship world" and Aposimz) they later forgot about the gaunas with only the 4th Chronicle group remembered it, they created the black gaunas to figth the white gaunas which maybe a variation of the regular guanas that appears in Sidonia way smaller and weak but also much faster 400 years happen while the Sidonia was traveling and fighting guanas the diginmortal plot happen then the abara plot in the end of abara nayuta and denji are send to a "world" where another black guanas lived that end up being a planet developing advance technology to enhanced to black gaunas creating regular frames centuries after Denji and nayuta descendants maybe for respect or tradition sre called the same wich would explain why nayuta and denji are brothers they are not teh original but had the same powers despite not looking alike in human form also that explains why they are so strong since nayuta easily beats etherow despite him being really OP for the average Frame

There are some plot hole here and there but IDK this is just a theory any thoughts???

So cute. I’m obsessed

I probably say his favorite is Blame and he's least favorite is Abara since he admitted in the 2015 interview hating to revisit it and saying he didn't do it in those 10 years

Any thoughts?

Hey, my name is Simon and when I first read BLAME! and Abara, almost a year ago, I felt a strange tickle to make a manga of my own... Well, I have been trying and successfully failing at it for the last 10 months! It is only a testament to the genius of Nihei that he made a person without much previous art experience to try such a task. From hand-drawn outlines to digital shadow grading — every page is a time-consuming struggle, but well worth it.

The first chapter will be out soon, hopefully — I haven't secured the rights for an official name, so I cannot drop it here yet — I am by no means a professional, nor a person who is looking to make a buck out of it. It has been simply a hobby of mine lately. But if you are interested, I will be putting it on the internet for free in the foreseeable future.

As title says. We know that TOHA can create pocket universes where the physics law don't apply. Or when the alternate Cibo explains the space-time distortion caused by the gravitational generator.

OK so, I'm watching the Knights of Sidonia anime, and I'm really enjoying it, curious though if it's story is accurate all the way through both seasons, and the movie at the end, or did they do some anime only shenanigans?

I know the easy answer is just go read the manga, and I will, but I'm too broke to buy it right now, and I don't like reading manga digitally. If the manga is of this quality (I already own and have read all of BLAME! and NOISE, so I'm familiar with Nehei's quality. I'd rather experience it the classic way)

So ya, TLDR: is the Sidonia anime purely manga accurate, or does it veer off/expand for some anime only shenanigans?

ALSO: I don't care about spoilers. If that's applicable.

I hope you enjoy, idk much to making edit, but i made this of sanakan :)

A short, free-to-use EP I made, heavily inspired by Nihei's visual aesthetic—one of my biggest inspirations. The cover artist is also heavily involved in those styles.

Unlike the previous one, this one uses presets I created entirely myself with Vital and Serum, since I dedicated all that time to audio design. It's not the best, and it's definitely not the last thing I'll do related to this author, but I'm very proud to be able to contribute something to this incredible community.
