This is not much of a series on its own - merely a series of short episodes adapting random parts of the original manga series, BLAME!
In doing so, it adds the atmosphere and pacing that one should hope to imagine whilst reading the printed work, and I think that it is done wonderfully.
The drawings are carry a cartoonish style, but detailed enough to convey the intricate nature of the environment. The use of colours, which were of course not a part of the original, black-and-white graphic novel, makes the different episodes and the surroundings they depict distinct, shading the image in unnatural lighting that frankly makes it surreal.
The sound... well, I would say that it is exactly as one would expect, and wonderfully done.
In summary, I think that this is a great series, but definitely not for those unfamiliar with the source material.
