In Summary:
At the end of the second episode of Blassreiter, I’m still not entirely sure what to make of this show. It hasn’t leapt out at me as a must watch show, but I’ve grown used to watching Gonzo shows in chunks and seeing the progression in a very different form , so I’m willing to give it a chance to establish itself. It does come across as if it’s latching onto a fad with the heavy motorcycle use and the constant use of the skintight combat uniforms that double as riding outfits and that’s left me a bit cold. On the plus side, the older characters and the lack of teenagers running about to save the world is a big bonus. Blassreiter has some appealing aspects to it but it hasn’t been compelling enough to say it’s a show that you have to make it back for each new episode right away.
