The manga inspired a new novel adaptation written by Tow Ubukata (Ghost in the Shell Arise, Psycho-Pass 2 series composition) that shipped on May 26.
The film itself also inspired a manga adaptation by artist Kōtarō Sekine (Ninja Slayer Kills) that debuted on April 26 and is approaching its finale.
Viz Media announced at its New York Comic Con panel on Thursday that it has licensed the home video rights to the Blame! anime.
Hiroyuki Seshita (Ajin), who previously co-directed the anime adaptation of Nihei’s Knights of Sidonia manga series, directed the film at Polygon Pictures.
