Reasons why the manga was so special: Atmosphere. It was godly. There was basically no dialog and no text. The whole story-telling was made visually. The art was extremely dark. Showed us that mistakes make the prettiest design. The overall drawn was nightmare-like, reminding me of the world famous artist, Zdzisław Beksiński, who himself has said his paintings were inspired by his nightmares. The manga was rough like the world it build. Post-apocalyptic, futuristic, yet a stone aged hell hole. Despite its ugliness, it still is one of the prettiest things I ever saw.
Then this anime happened. And while it looks pretty and all, it is not the BLAME I know.
They hired like 500 voice actors. Rendered everything symmetric and balanced. Made the overall world seem futuristic 1st person FPS game, except it is an anime. It is like excepting The Matrix and getting Code Lyoko. The epic the manga offered won't work in any other format. It has now been confirmed.
