"Artificial intelligence has reached a certain stage, his thinking and epiphany, has exceeded the limit of human thinking, it is as if artificial intelligence has developed to a certain stage, human beings can no longer be in the same class as artificial intelligence, but have been downgraded to fight, and this downgrade, in the eyes of artificial intelligence, human beings are not necessary to exist."
Although the above passage is used to talk about the upcoming movie "Alien Contract", if you want to say what it is like to say that human beings have become a burden to civilization, you cannot but recommend a theatrical version of the animation.
"BLAME! is a manga serialized in Kodansha Magazine's monthly magazine Afternoon from 1997 to 2003, and speaking of the author, Mian Tsutomu, his other animated work" "The Knight of Sidnia" is also very exciting, so the animation of "BLAME!" as Tsutomu's masterpiece is even more exciting. In addition, since Netflix entered Japan, in the field of animation is also a continuous action, the output of the works are mostly style works, "BLAME!" theater copyright is bought by it, more than a layer of reasons to have to watch.
The story told in BLAME takes place in a super-future where time cannot be determined. Human beings, who should have been dominated by the earth's civilization, became an abandoned species because of their own inferiority when science and technology were highly developed. At this time, the world is composed of a highly developed network (software) and a superstructure (hardware) as the carrier of its reality, and it is the citizens of this world who can connect to the network. Humans who have lost the power to connect to the Internet have become the object of elimination and cleansing up like pests. Ai, which was originally created by humans, also began to exclude humans who had lost their network connection qualifications according to management regulations after there was no dominant person. And people who have forgotten the prosperity of the past can only survive in the shadow of the management system.
Not only time, but also what kind of space the world is in at this time cannot be determined. Due to the loss of instructions, the machine known as the "Builder" expands the city aimlessly, decomposing the Earth and the Moon, and the scene described in the animation is already the time when the builder's work reaches the orbital plane of Jupiter, and it is the aimless growth of the city that fundamentally leads to the chaos that affects the whole world. For some reason, silicon-based organisms thrive in this environment, all of which share a common goal: to invade the cybersphere and eradicate all organic matter.
According to Wiki's character profile, the protagonist of this work, Wuhai, exists in order to seek genetic factors of the network terminal and constantly explore the urban structure. "He has the appearance of an adult man, his body is highly mechanized, equipped with an interface for data transmission, and the visual distance in the dark is up to 3,000 kilometers. Although its activities have been going on for more than a thousand years, this game does not give its clear affiliation and provenance. From the beginning of the story, Kirihi has lost his memory and some of his functions for some reason. Judging by the dialogue of the Ruling Bureau in the work, Wu Hai may have belonged to the secret envoy of the system before the birth of the security guard. The body is unusually strong and the recovery ability is very high. Detailed information can be listed on the object seen by the eye in the field of view, and a retinal scan can confirm whether the object holds a genetic factor of the network terminal. Words are not easy to reveal, but from his contact with people he meets on the way to explore, you can get a glimpse of his characteristic thoughtfulness. "It's hard to say how heroic Wuhai is, from the initial sense of coldness to the people who accidentally take on the responsibility of protecting human villages and fight them with their own strength, most of them start from being pushed to the front of the stage."

The theatrical version of BLAME!, which is only a small part of the entire 10-volume manga, is about Kirihiko's encounter with zulu, a human female electro-based fisherman, and the rescue of Shibo, a female scientist imprisoned due to a failed experiment to connect the network space. For such a work with a complex world view, it is difficult to adapt to take care of the audience who have not seen the original work and meet the needs of fans, so it is difficult to say what story is really clear in the theatrical version of more than 2 hours. If the point of the original manga is what Kirihay carries, the focus of the anime is rather to show humans who are like ants after being abandoned.

Human reflection is a very common theme in science fiction works. If we do not investigate the origin of human beings, it seems that human beings are the creators of civilization, but after the wheels of civilization roll up, human beings can neither stop nor change themselves. In the time of the last days, human beings always think that there will be a dawn, and mankind will always win? This question is left to the work "BLAME!" to answer.
In short, "BLAME!" is such a heavy story, after watching or reading, the feeling of suffocation probably does not make people have the strength to think more.
Where will humanity go?
MAYBE ON EARTH. MAYBE IN THE FUTURE.
