Alright, I don't normally write reviews, but I've got a lot to say about Blassreiter.

Blassreiter was one of the worst anime I've ever seen in my lifetime. But let me give it the benefit of the doubt and start off with what's good about it. (TL;DR below)

Pros: The story pacing overall is fairly decent. Not too slow, not too fast. The story itself has nothing wrong with it, in fact it's not half bad. They don't try to pump it full of different genre's that don't mix.

Now onto the cons!

Cons: This is the type of anime that tries waaaay too hard to make you feel sad about a character's death despite the fact the character is so underdeveloped they only count as a supporting character because of the extra screen time.

The character development overall is some of the worst I've ever seen. Bringing up plot devices and killing them off in the same episode in order to force development on the main characters.

Speaking of the main characters. Think you know who they are? Well you don't. Because for half the anime the main character acts more like a side character. The biggest plot twist of the entire anime is finding out who the actual main character is.

Have you ever watched an anime where they bring up suspense devices that hold no meaning to you? Well I hope you like anime like that because this one has a ton of it. You'll be hearing lines like "Oh no it's the X377. How dare they use that? if we don't stop it we're all doomed!". And the name X377 holds more meaning that some of the suspense devices they use in this anime.

Do you like cliche character architypes? Well I sure hope so because every single one of these characters could be the face of the word "cliche". Want more proof? How about Villains who yell "How dare you!" or "This is impossible!" when they're losing?

Have you ever watched an anime where the flashbacks/backstories are more interesting than the main story? You haven't? Well you will when you watch Blassreiter.

How about Bullsh*t endings that try to force closure in without you noticing how dumb it is? Hope you like that, because that's what you're gonna get at the end.

Do you like watching anime where halfway through about 5 characters you don't know show up and the badguy is suddenly an ally and with NO explanation at all? Well if you do, then you should watch Blassreiter, you'll love it.

Despite the endless amounts of skin tight mecha suits, big boobs, that one nude scene, and tons of blood gore and action... It was extremely boring and hard to watch. I mean some of the action was good, but after it was over you were still bored.

So to summarize and for those TL;DR readers out there... This anime is so bad that not only is it the first anime I considered below 5/10 in rating, but it's also so bad that it convinced me to write and entire review about it. Do not watch.
