Art 8/10: While the CGI could be better it shouldnt be the deciding point of wether the anime is good. CGI helped the anime alot since it allowed the action to be more fast-paced and allowed them to put in very nice camera angles. The traditional animation is also very good the scenes are well animated.
Sound 7/10: The songs for the openings and endings are some of the greatest i have heard. SFX is also very good, the voice acting is so superb that if you listened to it without watching you might think they were real.
But the series is lacking very much on battle-style music during the show.
While the dramatic music is very good there is little music for action sequences and if there are they are very short-lived.
Character 10/10: You couldn't ask for a more realistic cast of characters. From the troubled,sorrowful lives of some to the happy lives of others, every character reacts to their situation as a real person would. They also express their emotions as a human would. It also realistically displays how some cant see past the wall of differences and come together (Spoiler) such as how citizens view others who are poor or suffering as "outcasts" and tend to beat them. Such is the case for Malek, Johann, and Joseph (in his past) (spoiler end)
Enjoyment 8/10: While the series is going through the plot at a moderate pace the placement of Story-focused and Action-focused keeps it from getting too repetitive. I recommend this anime to anyone who enjoys action, demon, and story-driven shows
Overall 9/10: While most people think the pilot episode wasnt the best way to kick off (overuse of CGI) you should watch about up to episode 7 before you make decision. While it does have its flaws, Blassreiter is trying new things such as: being a demonic force spreaded by (SPOILER ) nanomachines,mixing action,demons,some religious references (nothing too offensive), and mecha into one they are also releasing it on streaming websites (such as Youtube, Crunchyroll, and BostTV) at the same time as the Japanese release. So thats my review, once the series is finished i will be able to make a better review. I have a feeling there is much more in store for us.
