imagine-nation S2017E15 - Main theme: BLAME!

A feature about the debut work of the manga artist Tsutomu Nihei, famous for "Knights of Sidonia" which was serialized between 1997 and 2003 on the Monthly Afternoon Magazine: "BLAME!". It is a work highly supported by Japanese movie creators as well as overseas creators and artists with unique world view and hard action depiction.

What is the hardship to make into an anime? On what do we have to focus? Find out more in the episode!
