Interesting, but where is the chapter?

Hello moderators,
New to this site and fudged the upload a bit. The last submission I made for the English version is the proper English one, with the right attributes and group. The Japanese upload is correct. Hope this isn't too much of a hassle. Apologies.

@ku4eto The submission is awaiting moderator approval.

Ahhhh I love Tustomu Nihei.

 

[Baldulf]

Nihei's style really went down the gutter

@Balduf I was just about to write the same thing. I have every first edition volume of Blame! sitting on my shelf and the style has amazing dark vistas, a perfect cyber-nightmare, the whites and blacks play on each other to give the feeling of a vast futuristic never ending cityscape. Killy looked cool but young and sharper. Decidedly western. The designs for the cyber creatures were amazing. Evil looking and sick, like spiders.

This is trash and I gave up reading his works after Knights of Sidonia. Go look at Abara or Blame! or Bio-Mega and then go look at Knights of Sidonia or his more recent works. What a massive change in style.

Uploaded original Japanese scan.

 

[Mufarasu]

Still shows as unavailable for me. Can anyone read it?

 

[Re-L]

I can see both the English and Japanese scans no problem.

@Re-L

Hmmm, still not working for me. Not sure why though if it's working for others.

Edit: Seems to be an issue with Chrome for some reason. Chapters worked fine on another browser.

My goodness. What happened to Nihei? I knew he had a cleaner style post-Sidonia but he still did great details on the backgrounds and architecture. I mean, that was the beauty of Nihei's style. Even his oneshots tend to have extremely detailed architecture. But this.... this felt like it was done in a rush. Like he drew but then erased the lines but then thought 'never mind'. I never minded his cleaner character artwork but this... faded style is just so out of character of him.

The story is ok though. Another appendix to the Megastructure.

@Mifarasu Probably a cache setting bug. Manually choosing a server worked for me. The automatic server setting probably directed you to the purged chapter.

lmao at some comments
artist purposely changes his style to something different and accessible and some people do not find the new direction pleasant for personal taste so they judge it as "trash"

 

[Synically]

Did he hire some preschoolers to do this or something?

 

[arcsalvo]

This storyline wouldn't be really completely understandable by those not familiar with the original work, but those that are familiar with it would probably enjoy it as a "filler" strip, with cleaner art that has more contrast and less dark splotches all over the place. I can look at it without my eyes hurting, so thumbs up.

I understand why people don't like Nihei's newer, "rounder" art style, but I think his monster and creature design has never been stronger.

Weird that this was included with the Blame netflix movie, since it has literally nothing to do with it.

And interesting that Mori has been turned into Cibo here, which ties in with the original Blame! OVA concept that all the companions that Killy has are incarnations of Cibo
