Thoughts on Blame!
Thoughts – Blame! Is a sci-fi animation taking us to a dystopian Earth, where we get to see humans being considered illegal in the eyes of robots running the planet now. We will follow one group of humans that will look to end the reign of terror, as they learn what caused the change in the first place, with the humans learning of the different live sources outside the village, as their desperation to survive will start making the decisions for them. This will have plenty of themes of survive and technology taking over the world at some point, along with the need to survive a virus that could cause devastation on the human race. It will show the fight back to survive against something stronger, showing important it would be to risk everything for a future. This could easily have a bigger world, with plenty more to learn about along the way, which would make this a world that would be good to re-visit, not only for the story, but the creation the humans must fight back against.
Final Thoughts – Blame! Is a big sci-fi animation, with plenty of battles between humans and technology.
