The official website of the upcoming anime film adaptation of Tsutomu Nihei's Blame! manga revealed on Wednesday that Hiroyuki Se****a (Ajin) will direct the film at POLYGON PICTURES. Se****a previously co-directed the anime adaptation of another Nihei manga, Knights of Sidonia, at POLYGON PICTURES also.
Nihei will handle the film's script and character design. The site notes that the film will "reunite" the staff of the Knights of Sidonia anime.
Nihei, Se****a, and other staff members will attend this year's Comic Con International in San Diego, which runs from Thursday, July 21 to Sunday, July 24. Nihei previously hinted that he may show a sneak peek of the film during the event.
Nihei launched the science-fiction action story Blame! as his first manga series in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon magazine in 1997, and ended it in 2003. Tokyopop published the 10-volume manga in North America. Kodansha published a new six-volume edition of the manga in Japan last year.
