| I told myself around episode 22 that if Joseph dies, I'd bring hell to earth. Haha, the ending was...like you said, unexpected. I think they could have tied it with a different, less corny ending. But I absolutely give this anime props if for nothing else than the fact that they weren't afraid to kill off people. Honestly, I can't remember the last anime where the main characters die, let alone the absolute main protagonist. So, no matter what, I'll remember this series for that and I definitely, without a doubt, respect it for that. I always hate having characters that I get attached to killed off but for Blassreiter, it was more than refreshing. |
 |
| I think what also threw me off was the randomness during the final fight between Joseph and Xargin. How Gerd and Hermann just jumped in like that...I'm not sure if it was due to Isis but I doubt it. Also, the end where Hermann said that they could meet up anytime made everything seem out of place. They're dead...even with the greatest technology that the anime sported, they shouldn't have been able to contact each other so openly or easily. It kind of loses the whole point if everyone who died could easily come back and talk and whatnot. |
| |
| Pretty much the only good thing about this show: Elea. Honorable mention: Maria. |
| Why did Hermann have to die like 5 times? =_=; They just had th throw another one in there, for kicks. Anyways, I'm happy with this ending. All threads are seemingly closed, and I guess you could figure out Elea's origins. |
| lol this ending was incredibly corny XD |
     |
| I just finshed watching this. I STILL HAVE TEARS BECAUSE THE ENDING WAS SO MUCH HOPE AND SEEING EVERYONE EVEN AS GHOSTS. Very sad this episode but also all ended well. R.I.P. -------> SASHA....YOUR SINS I AM SURE MIGHT BE FORGIVEN IN THE END R.I.P.-------->MEI-FENG EVEN THOUGH YOU WERE A CLONE YOU STILL TRIED YOUR BEST! R.I.P.-------->JOSEPH EVEN THOUGH YOU HAD YOUR OWN PROBLEMS AND WERE DRAGGED INTO THINGS YOU DID NOT WANT BY YOUR SISTER. SO MUCH TEARS.......SO UNFAIR EXCEPT JOSEPH CAUSE HE HAD NO CHOICE TO DRAG XARGIN! I am going to miss this series. I might add some more after I relax! |
| Oops! I appear to be incapable of following Rules 16 and 17, so I had to have a mod change my sig for me. |
| corny indeed, but enjoyable. thsi series was okay to me, 7/10 |

It kind of loses the whole point if everyone who died could easily come back and talk and whatnot. I kind of agree, I was confused about them all "coming back" as well. I'm guessing since they have the ability to bind them selves to technology they can live on or something like that. They must have all be forced into a retainment system on the bike's so they cant go infecting other technology but can still come out and talk lol. I like how the tables turned and made humanity out to be the bad guys in the end haha. Lets go kick some human ass to protect the half bloods that are still getting wrongly persecuted XD. Wile where at it lets add a random black guy to run the new XAT that has a voice similar to the old one. Overall I liked this series a lot. The beginning was pretty bad but I'm really glad I stuck with it till the end. |

| i loved the first half of Blassreiter and saw that it had a lot of potential.... but the second half plus the ending was really weird... i believe this anime could have been so much better... |

Oh yes, the anime could have been MUCH better. No offence, but I doubt I'll ever give this a 7, more like a 5, possibly 4. Had I known better, I never would've seen this series, even though I respect Gonzo for trying to make something good. DeathfireD said: Wile where at it lets add a random black guy to run the new XAT that has a voice similar to the old one. Lol, it kinda ruined my thoughts for how professional the voice actors were. |
| I respect the series for not hesitating to kill off characters, and at times it was beautifully tragic, but towards the end it seemed like they were just throwing in as much pain and misery as they could for added melodrama. That was definitely an unsatisfying last episode. What the heck was up with Gerd and Hermann "borrowing" Joseph's body? And those hologram/spirit things in Malek's bike really peeved me off (even Xargin and Beatrice get to be holograms, despite being remorseless in their campaign to wipe out humanity?). |

| I'm sorry but this series really sucked. It felt like it was written episode to episode instead of being planned out and they had not idea what they where doing. Pointless characters, plot holes, and just extremely bad story telling. I almost luaghed at the fact they killed almost every character TWICE not once, but TWICE. Also characters like Snow, WTF a character that comes out of no where with some pointless back story and some kinda romanctic connection to Joe, but then dies the next epsiode, but u don't even figure that out until the end. I also thought it was funny how all of a sudden it becomes freaken power rangers. " ins't this awesome we spent all the nations money on massive transforming mechs to fight monsters that are no bigger then a human. this anime was seriously a freaken joke. probably the worst thing I have seen in a while. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |
| This is just going to be my thoughts on the whole series. I thought at the beginning it was pretty good. The plot overall was good. There were a few things that were a bit strange like hermann dieing 8 billion times. I kinda like how this show doesnt hesitate to kill ppl off. Snow was a bit strange bringing in and then killing her off in 2 episodes. Guess it added the surprise element. btw the comment above me, it kinda makes sense if you think about it. Super huge machines kill super humans.... The last episode was pretty good until the end. When Marie brought back everyone, it didnt make sense and was really corny. |
| I seem to never like epilogues. I feel like the hole show has been tainted by that lame everyone still alive... kind of. And, oh look a rainbow! o__O |

| Finally I was able to finish this. Didn't really enjoy it; the story was rather lame and there was just too much CG. I liked the Germany-theme though. 5/10 |

| 7/10 for me. I really liked first episodes, up until the moment XAT was destroyed. After that, it went on completely wrong track and ended horribly .... |
| The ending is somewhat strange.. It is very unexpected! |
 |
| Amanda x Malek ending rofl. That whole spirit stuff, coming back, possessing is confusing as hell but it probably has to do with the blassreiter stuff and technology. The ending really pulled it down for me plus everyone dying, would of liked it more if they stopped before the time skip. Wouldn't have expected any of this from just watching the first eps, CG was pretty cool, overall it was okay. 7/10 |
 |
| I'm surprised they killed over 90% of the cast... I kept thinking "they wont kill him/her because they are to important or hold enough value" and they kept failing me again and again and again. I guess props to that but I wanted a happier ending like joseph surviving because he had been suffering so much. :( I will agree that the first half was very good and it got worse and worse, and wierder after time, although since I watched it decently fast and all in one go it was alright. Not sure how it would of wokred watching ep after ep, like linebarrel right now.. can't keep with it to stupid... I guess while there are series that are being to darn slow and wont move on and have countless seasons, there are still ones that are to fast and dont think through, which I rather watch this bc watching eps for 3 strait years and could have been done in half a year is not enjoyable.. its just plain pointless. |

| It was really a good ending for the series, I didn't expect it though, but still am very found of it. I really liked it, the idea of it,everything from that last episode and the series ideology is worth remembering in real life =) What more can I say... |

| Wtf @ ending. They should've skipped the ghost connection, that would have made it much better. And DOH, Snow was there among the ghosts, means she died. Frick, she was my favorite. Way to go to introduce a two episode character only to kill her ~~ Barely a 7/10. EDIT: Screw it, I'm still mad about the ghost ending, and the flippin ghost possessing during Xargin fight. 6/10. |
 |
| ye the ghost possessing during xargin fight was gay and bitch malek shoulda died.... i actually liked how alot died cause they were good deaths but pretty much pointless when they came back as holograms that retained their memories the action was good, i love that whole ship/mecha dodging missiles like crazy etc thing, the blassreiters/amalgams looked ok, i did like how they did the sword fights the only thing i didnt like about the cg is that the paladins looked dumb id give it a 9/10 if i dont think about the ending and gay malek living Jigero said: this anime was seriously a freaken joke. probably the worst thing I have seen in a while. ^this comes from a guy who like nana ? |
| I kinda liked this show...didn't like the ending, though. |
| It was very-very good.. until that f*cking ridiculous last minutes of The Final Fight! OMG, it was so stupid! Though, I've rated it 8/10. If it hasn't so idiotic ending, I'd even give it 8.5/10, 'cause EVERYTHING is very-very good... except that Final Bullsh*t. The biggest final-episode-disappointment ever. |
| wtf kind of ending was that? Originally this series was 9/10, then it started to change towards the middle-end, 8/10. The final 10 minutes of the episode killed it for me...7/10. WAY TOO CORNY. WTH was with the "ghost" (/holograms) coming out of nowhere at the end? And them possessing Joseph's body...lol that was so weird. What was also strange was suddenly after Herman losses Joseph seemed to have a godly power level of 9000!!!! He had some weird shield that deflected all of Xargin's attacks, and moved at what seemed light speed. The suddenly 10 seconds later it was all gone and he lost anyways, lol. Wtf? And after ALL OF WHAT XARGIN DID, they kill him off, just like that? How strong was that guy anyways? Weird weird ending. The hologram ghost at the end made it just too corny/weird for me, epically the "Amanda x Malek ending", hahaha, incest ftw? I do respect them for being original in how they presented it, and as everyone ELSE has said , killing off characters without fear. Though I think they went a bit TOO FAR, they killed 95% of the cast off. That's a bit extreme...and we never got a kiss. (Though an incest pair ending, lol). Idk...the ghost, possessing, Joseph losing at power level 9000 then Xargin God (power) losing to a pill...and was totally kool with it! Just all nonchalant about it, even after so many years & so many deaths, and his plan to change the world, lol. And now we have the "lets protected the discriminated against Algams that we've been killing off forever!" was just all so strange. Edit: lol it was also funny how that black head guy of XAT apologized at the end, rofl. Also what was with people NEVER being able to tell other's what they wanted to in their heart, even after death ,lol. Joseph's sister didn't get to say her good bye's/I'm sorry to him. Herman never got to say " I love you" to Amanda. And a few other things...and poor Snow died! kuroshiroi said: Pretty much the only good thing about this show: Elea. Honorable mention: Maria. Those two were awesome :) |

| I liked.... Elea... watched this series just in the hope to have a glimpse on her panty or any fanservice.... but to my disappointment there was none... ON THE OTHER HAND~ I loved the fight scenes.... 7/10 for me. |
| Hm, this anime turned out to be way better than I thought it would be after watching first few episodes. Ugly CGI, though. 7/10 is my score, and for me, it's quite high. I kinda liked that so many characters died in the show's run, so I expected for most of the cast to bite it in the finale. Although I'm still sad about Joseph, he really deserved a happy ending. Yeah, the thing with Gerd and Hermann was pretty much an asspull, and overall I wasn't very impressed with the fight. Still, the end is the end, at least it gives a closure without some forced ambiguity (I think it's pretty clear that characters Elea/Maria show in the epilogue are just holograms, not actual people). Also, it's really weird that people see some MalekxAmanda scenes as romantic. I don't know if we were watching the same ep, I didn't notice anything like this in their interaction. |
genxtrigun said: i loved the first half of Blassreiter and saw that it had a lot of potential.... but the second half plus the ending was really weird... i believe this anime could have been so much better... Agreed! And It Ended Like A Kids Show Had To Look Back And See If It Was Rated[PG] hahhaha |
| This Was An Effing Awesome Anime Why Is This Not In The Top 700?..... 9/10 |
 |
| Wtf? They killed almost main characters. But... they alive? O_o Certainly I'm glad that Sasha, Snow and Joseph didn't die completely, but it's too corny. Also I'm disappointed that Snow has appeared only for two episodes and then died. I hoped for Joseph x Snow ending... Ok, when Snow was died I think that will be Joseph x Amanda ending. Double fail... I have Amanda x Malek ending :( And I really hate Gonzo's CGI. Why they put it in every second series? ( On the other hand I like story line. It's simple and pretty interesting. And Elea was awesome. I like her voice ~_~ 7/10 for me. xMafiax said: I liked.... Elea... watched this series just in the hope to have a glimpse on her panty or any fanservice.... but to my disappointment there was none... Lol))) Here you are: |
| the ending was very positive in comparison with the whole show. most off the time this show pulled me down emotionally,the best episodes were 15 till 24. btw I want an Elea hologram,too how lovely XD |

| i hate it. This really isn't a good ending. There are too much unnecessary deaths, and why does the weak gets to live? Instead of the strong? There are also many mysteries unsolved( i bet you could think of one without me telling :D ) i rated it 5 ( Currently, the lowest score i gave ) |
| love or hate, i couldn't care less |
| the anime was cool :D i really like how they switch different characters in each episodes. you get to see how they suffer and they're past sins as well. one of the most epic scene is probably Al's comeback who would have thought even death he still hates wolf though in the end wolf regretted what he did. they only thing i hate about is probably the end. i mean Xargin was unstoppable and they just killed him with isis. guess joseph can't win on a one on one match against xargin and what's up with xargin showing up at the end with the group i thought he hated everybody in the group i guess he regretted what he had done. anyways still a great anime glad i finish it till the end :D |
| this was one of the best story's anime i seen in a good while, not to long and not to confusing ^_^ |
         |
| Wow, haha. That was quite an interesting anime we had here. Like, everyone died, some even did like 3 times. (lolwut) Probs for killing off most main characters, that certainly was interesting. I thought it was a bit much to kill off Joseph. (his background was just way too sad already, but oh well..) The hologram was just... lame? =/ I enjoyed watching it though, therefore 8/10. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| one of the best i have watched. honestly i would love for this to have a 2nd season or series but still they ended it very well 9/10 from here |
| Well it was good ending,except malek that was pretending to be joseph.9/10 |
| This was a great series! I hated the CGs at the first half but the drama was intense overall. To anyone who rants about the "ghosts": take it easy, they are freaking holograms!!!! Just a gift for the lovely Amanda. And... "Power Rangers"??? LOL, didn't you know this was a Sci-Fi anime??? |

| awesome anime, liked how 95% of the characters introduced die(some multiple times). I had to lol at the end when the united states used the Emergency Contingency plan, NUKE EVERYTHING!. |
 |
| The best things about this anime are the collection of Amalgams, mechas and ... US Force ^^ Never saw B2 and F22 Raptor in anime before >< Plus the ICBM Mach 23 was pretty cool Give this anime 8/10 just because of art style. Obvious ending, everything must come to an end especially Amalgams/Demoniacs. |
