Blassreiter Review
The first 12 episode set of Blassreiter came out this past Tuesday, and any anime fan will tell you 3 days is more than enough to blow through that many episodes. That being said, there’s probably a few of you who have already polished off the first set of Blassreiter, so I figured it’d be a good time to get some opinions. Let’s start off with some other online folks’ take on the anime:
Lunch.com describes the show as “Slick Visuals & Lots of Bloody Action.” I think this excerpt from their review conveys a good feel for Blassreiter
| The show is an interesting blend of ideas and plays out perhaps closest to the hopelessness of Blue Gender coupled to the element of self-control made famous in Claymore. There is a constant threat of the lead character’s lapse in perseverance resulting in his irreversible tumble into madness- in this case a fate worse than death. |
FanboyReview.net gives Blassreiter a B+ calling it a show worth seeing in a good package.
| Blassreiter episode by episode threads the line between action, drama, and violence. It’s definitely not for everyone, but I think if you give it a fair chance through these twelve episodes, you will find yourself salivating for more. |
ComicsOnline.com talks about the mix of horror, action, and cyber zombies.
| I recommend Blassreiter to anyone who wants a smart, action horror series with brains to match its adrenaline; that knows when to slow down as well as speed up, and quite frankly, is filled with so many quotable lines I had to show off a couple.“Is that justice for the wicked? All I see is a man suffering the depths of pain.” |
So what are your thoughts on the series? Please use the [SPOILER] tag for any overly informative comments.

I enjoyed Blassreiter until it got down to the last two episodes … I just pretend like the ending doesn’t exist.

I reviewed Blassriter on my blog earlier this week:

I thought it was a bad series, but it was a charming kind of bad, like a B-rate Hollywood monster flick. So I gave it a thumbs up. ( ^_^)b It’s worth checking out.

Woo, my first ever quote!
Keep watching past the first 3 or 4 episodes, I could imagine if you are watching it one by one slowly, you might drop it. Trust me… keep watching.
