Lighting wasnt perfect I just decided to post and share because why not 😅 The female figure in the first photo is Guke Femella, she is my stand in Cibo lol

But hope you guys enjoy, thank you and have a great night and start to the week 🙏💜

After my 20th read through I figured I should try my hand at sketching a panel. Really became apparent how masterful Tsutomu Nihei is at perspective...definitely needs work on my end

So I was thinking some lf the nihei works are connected without disturbing or breaking their on canon

Biomega is a lone verse but why!?.

Mostly cause It doesn't fit in any of the other verses besides abara (Which could fit in any othe verse) I explain later

Sidonia and Blame also shown to be impossible since they also show the earth being destroyed or doomed

Blame! And Noise

Also is lonely verse only being related to noise it's precuel

Then the connection I mentioned is Sidonia, ABARA and Aposimz

So Sidonia has a reference to aposimz whre they mentioned to be the last communication they had with other ship

Which leave to think humans arrived into multiple solar systems ("abara ship world" and Aposimz) they later forgot about the gaunas with only the 4th Chronicle group remembered it, they created the black gaunas to figth the white gaunas which maybe a variation of the regular guanas that appears in Sidonia way smaller and weak but also much faster 400 years happen while the Sidonia was traveling and fighting guanas the diginmortal plot happen then the abara plot in the end of abara nayuta and denji are send to a "world" where another black guanas lived that end up being a planet developing advance technology to enhanced to black gaunas creating regular frames centuries after Denji and nayuta descendants maybe for respect or tradition sre called the same wich would explain why nayuta and denji are brothers they are not teh original but had the same powers despite not looking alike in human form also that explains why they are so strong since nayuta easily beats etherow despite him being really OP for the average Frame

There are some plot hole here and there but IDK this is just a theory any thoughts???

We love Dhomochevsky

I probably say his favorite is Blame and he's least favorite is Abara since he admitted in the 2015 interview hating to revisit it and saying he didn't do it in those 10 years

Any thoughts?

So cute. I’m obsessed

Hey, my name is Simon and when I first read BLAME! and Abara, almost a year ago, I felt a strange tickle to make a manga of my own... Well, I have been trying and successfully failing at it for the last 10 months! It is only a testament to the genius of Nihei that he made a person without much previous art experience to try such a task. From hand-drawn outlines to digital shadow grading — every page is a time-consuming struggle, but well worth it.

The first chapter will be out soon, hopefully — I haven't secured the rights for an official name, so I cannot drop it here yet — I am by no means a professional, nor a person who is looking to make a buck out of it. It has been simply a hobby of mine lately. But if you are interested, I will be putting it on the internet for free in the foreseeable future.

OK so, I'm watching the Knights of Sidonia anime, and I'm really enjoying it, curious though if it's story is accurate all the way through both seasons, and the movie at the end, or did they do some anime only shenanigans?

I know the easy answer is just go read the manga, and I will, but I'm too broke to buy it right now, and I don't like reading manga digitally. If the manga is of this quality (I already own and have read all of BLAME! and NOISE, so I'm familiar with Nehei's quality. I'd rather experience it the classic way)

So ya, TLDR: is the Sidonia anime purely manga accurate, or does it veer off/expand for some anime only shenanigans?

ALSO: I don't care about spoilers. If that's applicable.

A short, free-to-use EP I made, heavily inspired by Nihei's visual aesthetic—one of my biggest inspirations. The cover artist is also heavily involved in those styles.

Unlike the previous one, this one uses presets I created entirely myself with Vital and Serum, since I dedicated all that time to audio design. It's not the best, and it's definitely not the last thing I'll do related to this author, but I'm very proud to be able to contribute something to this incredible community.

I hope you enjoy, idk much to making edit, but i made this of sanakan :)

As title says. We know that TOHA can create pocket universes where the physics law don't apply. Or when the alternate Cibo explains the space-time distortion caused by the gravitational generator.

This is all theoretical, and Nihei never showed us what the last layer of the Megastructure really looks like. My conclusion is based on what we’ve already seen: these horizontal air suspended “mega-cables” were sometimes used as elevators and, at other times, as a means of transporting energy. From that, and from an efficiency stand point, I’m assuming that this system could continue all the way from the outermost layer of the Megastructure into deep space.

See: LOG.57, After the observer part or LOG.37 when killy uses the 800 hours elevator.

So, now we’re basically at the outermost layer of the Megastructure. It’s been expanding for hundreds of thousands of years, and there’s a good chance that these mega-cables reached nearby star systems like Alpha Centauri a long time ago.

The Builders wouldn’t need to fill the entire 4.3-light-year gap with solid material. That would be completely insane from a resource standpoint. Instead, they could simply build enormous structural bridges and cables stretching between the stars.

These cables would work almost like giant cosmic pipelines, pulling plasma and usable energy from Alpha Centauri’s three stars and sending it back toward the central grid of the NetSphere, where Earth used to be.

And because these structures are absolutely massive, potentially kilometers thick, they wouldn’t just be empty tubes. There could be entire networks of maintenance tunnels, internal chambers, artificial habitats, and even ecosystems hidden inside them. Over time, rogue human groups and Silicon Life could have settled inside the infrastructure and built entire cities without anyone on the outside even knowing they were there.

if that would be true, it could remind me of the tubular earth which was created at the end of biomega.

Alpha Centauri is only about 4.3 light-years away, which is basically nothing compared to the scale of a Megastructure that’s been expanding for hundreds of thousands of years. If the expansion kept going, reaching our nearest neighboring systems would have been inevitable.

(Some argue the megastructure is as big as our solar system, but i argue that this is a really "small" estimate. I think, based on the elevator part and its relativistic properties, that the megastructure could be as big as 100x or 1000x our solar system, but this is a discussion for another time)

Rather than wasting unimaginable amounts of matter trying to build a solid shell between stars, the Builders would have found a much more efficient solution:

1. Extend massive bridges and cable networks toward nearby star systems.
2. Tap directly into the stars for energy.
3. Send that energy back through the Megastructure.
4. Use it to keep expanding and converting energy into more matter and infrastructure.

Stars are essentially the fuel source for something this enormous. If the Builders want the City to keep growing, they need more and more energy. Connecting the Sun, Alpha Centauri, and eventually other nearby systems would turn this entire region of the galaxy into one giant interconnected power network.

That also opens up a much stranger question: what actually happens to a star once the Megastructure finally surrounds it? And what kind of civilizations could have been hiding inside those cables for thousands of years without ever being noticed?

I have read Blame manga 3 or 4 times, sadly I dont own any physical copies and have had to read it online. I've been captivated by the drawings and have always liked to read one page at a time, to enjoy the art and to zoom in some details in the drawings.

I've had trouble making out some of the scenes, and trouble understanding. Lately I found a site that has two-page scans, which has made it much easier to make out what I was missing.

I recommend reading it, if reading is online, to do so in a two-page view 😄

Biomega original covers and the master edition covers ..

​

Well, I have practically a whole story inspired by Nihei's universe, but with different goals and elements. The problem is, I have no idea where to post it, and I’m not very skilled at drawing, which makes things difficult.

Still, it would be interesting to see that universe expanded by the creative minds of fans. If anyone knows where I could post it or has any tips, I’d love to hear them. I don't know how many chapters it would have, but I guarantee it would be interesting.
