Blame!

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2017.05.21

This is a good anime about a time in the distant future where humanity has been sidelined by its own housing and infrastructure, and now ekes out a marginal existence in the shadow of security systems that refuse to let them sufficiently travel or build to reclaim their world. It's a little uneven in place but generally sticks to its trajectory and delivers on that in the end. The world-building is very good and the design of that over-built maze of a planet was perfect.

Recommended.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
