Synopsis

Modern Germany is plagued by an outbreak of "Amalgams." Existing solely to wreak havoc, these cybernetic entities spawn from rotting flesh and can fuse with technology to gain new abilities. With society left in the wake of their destruction, the Xenogenesis Assault Team (XAT) is formed to suppress the threat. Alongside its primary mission to protect against the Amalgam attacks, the organization is also researching the newly discovered "amalgamated" humans which possess rational thought and are far deadlier than their non-sentient counterparts.

Joseph Jobson is one such amalgamated human who has full control over his powers. Although successful in his line of work as a lone warrior, an unfortunate encounter with the recently-turned-Amalgam Gerd Frentzen makes him a priority target of the XAT. As he eludes the organization and seeks new allies, Joseph is transformed into the Blassreiter—a being heralded as the strongest Amalgam in existence. Now, he must fight back with his newfound powers to uncover the truth behind not only his past, but also the entire Amalgam conflict.

If you're like me and you're here reading reviews for the show to determine whether or not it's worth watching I'll ask you a couple of questions. Do you like/know what Kamen Rider is? Can you stand heavy use of dated CG? Do you take issue with characters being introduced just so they can be killed off? If any of these are deal breakers for you Blassreiter is probably not for you. It might sound like I don't like this show, but that's not the case; it was just a unusual show. It didn't age terribly well, and it had some odd writing quirks. If ...

Mixed Feelings
Summary: Let me start this off by saying I don't like the mech genre. In fact, the components of this that are mech related embody everything that I don't like about that genre. This isn't really a mech anime though, it is actually more of a blend of a tragic/philosophical/character driven narrative that shines most when mechs are no where to be found.

The story starts fairly cliche... a group fighting evil robots to save the world. Over time, the plot expands and grows into a cluster of different organizations and groups, many different characters and story arcs and a huge philosophical battle over the "correct" ...

“Even in our darkest hour, life still has meaning.” – Joseph Jobson. *queue slow clap* Yes Joseph, spoken like a true failure of a character. That’s our MC ladies and gentlemen, who, in spite of repeating that statement on multiple occasions, just couldn’t seem to find meaning in anything he did.
Story: 3
The base story of Blassreiter is actually an interesting idea at its core. A mysterious infestation, an organization out to stop it, and a mysterious main character who is using this evil power to reign in justice; yes, it’s no Shakespearean work, but I think your common anime viewer would raise a brow of ...

Nothing gets the blood pumping like a high-intensity race, be it in a car, bike, or even mecha suit. Youthful passion and energy fuel these shows about drivers, pilots and athletes all striving for that #1 spot. As Ricky Bobby once famously said, "If you ain't first, you're last".
