PV trailer for "BLAME! The End of the City"

The original work "BLAME!" is a science fiction manga that was serialized in "Afternoon" from 1997 to 2004. Although the news of the animation made fans very happy, as a play within the play of "Knights of Sidonia", it is a bit disappointing. The name of the animation is "Spy Next Generation: The End of the City" (BLAME! End of the City).

The story takes place in a super future where the time and place are unknown. The world is composed of highly developed networks (software) and super structures (hardware) that are the carriers of its reality. Humans, who should have benefited from the prosperity of science and technology, lost their qualifications and abilities to connect to the network (equivalent to their citizenship) due to a disaster. Without a ruler, AI began to exclude humans who lost their network connection qualifications according to management regulations. People who have forgotten their former prosperity can only live in the shadow of the management system. The stage of this work is set in such a world where humans are gradually declining.
