Reviews

I don't always write reviews, but when I do they are quick and dirty. Before you go into this series, I want to forewarn you: The first 9 episodes are chaotic. In fact, when you first start the series you will wonder if you missed a season somewhere. No. This series starts assuming you know everything about Blassreiter. The art is good, but this series relies heavily on CGI. Not the good kind of CGI. Low-mid budget CGI. The frequent switching between CGI and 2D will often frustrate you,and you will develop a hate for all things 3D. If you prefer English dub, I must warn you that the first 9-10 episodes are dubbed very poorly and you may have to switch to subtitles to get through the first part of the series. To put it simply, the first half of the show is pretty apalling in every area. After reading this, you may be thinking Blassreiter sounds terrible. Well it is and it isn't. The series starts off poorly in all the areas mentioned above, but once you make it to the middle of the series everything improves - the plot, CGI (somewhat), characters, and even the English dub. All in all it's definitely worth a watch as the story is fairly unique. I recommend this series if your into: sports bikes, nano-machines, biological weapons, human piloted robots, weapons of mass destruction, religion, and/or Germany.
