The story is set in a fictional Germany and centers around the outbreak of biomechanical creatures named "Demoniacs", who rise from corpses and attack people mindlessly. The Demoniacs have the ability to merge with most technology including cars and motorcycles, not only gaining control of them but also enhancing their performance greatly. Against them is a group of people known as XAT, Xenogenesis Assault Team, who police these Demoniacs in an attempt to keep the peace and discover the reasons for the "Demoniac" change. All the while, a number of human-turned-Demoniacs appear. Some use their powers for good whilst others for evil. One will rise above all other Demoniacs to become the "Blassreiter".
My Thoughts:
I came across this series while trying to look for a site where I can watch without having to use MegaVideo since they are now a pay site.
According to what I have read, the series' rating plummeted but I decided to watch it anyway. I do like motorcycles and mecha type anime so I thought it would not be a pain to watch. I was definitely pleasantly surprised. I loved this series that I did a marathon. The pacing of some parts of the series were kinda slow. What surprised me the most was this series was definitely gut and heart wrenching. I honestly almost cried which can be ridiculous since this is, well, anime. The animation I thought was superb unless of course you don't like CG'esk animation. To me, it was very sharp. There is no dubbed version that I could find so I watch it subbed which was fine. If the box set is out I will definitely add this to my collection. 5 out of 5.
