Blassreiter (Blass Reeter, English Translation: Pale Rider). Somewhere in Germany in the not-too-distant future all hell is breaking loose. Giant, biomechanical creatures of origins unknown are terrorizing the city. Labelled as Demoniacs, the creatures appear rabid and unpredictable, killing and maiming anything in their path. The towns citizens are terrified, the media demands answers. In response the government employs a specialforces team to investigate. Known as the Xenogenesis Assault Team (XAT), its members quickly realize the creature is capable of infecting anyone it comes in contact with; no one is safe. Directed by Ichiro Itano (Fist of the North Star), Blassreiter follows the rise and rise of a maniacal force bent on the destruction of the human race, and the outsiders whose sole purpose is to stop them.
