YMMV for the original manga
- Fan Nickname:
- Killy = Mr. Expressive.
- Cibo = Albino Girlfriend, or Jesus Chick because she had been crucified the first time Killy meets her, and she comes back to life or escapes certain death by stealing or making new bodies.
- Graviton Beam Emitter = Noisy Cricket 2.0, Limb-Breaker 9000
- Sana-Kan
- Loli McBeamspam since she carries a GBE and is very small when she first appears.
- Sana-Kan the Forever Girl since she survives so much punishment.
- S. Snacks which is a 4Chan reference.
- Foe Yay Shipping: Between Dhomochevsky and Pcell. Maybe...
- Germans Love Blame!: More so than any other country, it seems. There is even an electronica band inspired by the series.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: Seu is a knight who repeatedly dies and comes back to life attended to by a mysterious woman with supernatural powers.
- Nightmare Fuel: Arguably, the entire manga, due to its bleak, oppressive atmosphere and constant technological Body Horror. If you were ever wigged out by the aesthetics of ExistenZ or the "real world" of The Matrix, this manga will keep you up at night for months.
- Padding: Given that it's a Walk the Earth story with a rather simplistic plot, this is to be expected.
- The Woobie: Killy is an Iron Woobie and a Stoic Woobie wrapped into one unstoppable being.
YMMV for the 2017 Netflix film BLAME!
- Awesome Music: Killy's Main Theme is a beautiful and somber piece.
- Broken Base: The film has split the fandom in a few areas: is it better than the 2D anime or is 3D the only way to really adapt the setting? Are the changes done to the plot welcome and allow newcomers to get a better grasp of the plot or are they needless and badly thought-out? Was focusing on Zuru a good idea? You will find supporters on either side, though many are glad the film exists.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: This film becomes very comical if you remember that The Movie of The Irregular at Magic High School, released a couple of months after Blame!, has an MC very similar to Killy in a love triangle with Sana-kan and Cibo, especially considering the contrast between the actions of Saori Hayami in both films.
- Visual Effects of Awesome: The fight scenes and backgrounds look gorgeous to say the least.
- The Woobie: Fusata becomes this in the climax when he realizes Tae, his best friend and love interest, was killed and replaced by Sana-kan, pushing him into a Heroic BSoD for several minutes while the city is invaded by Exterminators. Although he eventually regains his composure and contributes to the city's defense, he is still visibly grieving.
