YMMV / Blassreiter

• Anvilicious: People should never, under any circumstances discriminate against immigrants.
• Broken Base: Is Malek a wangsty coward preoccupied with victimizing himself or a troubled boy trying to make things right in a wrong world? Should humanity be rescued from extinction, or do the Amalgams deserve their place in the food chain?
• Harsher in Hindsight: The plot about how Germany has become racist and violent against the immigrants living there becomes this when in 2015/2016, due to the Syrian Civil War and the War against DAESH/ISIS, a large number of Arab Refugees fled to Europe due to those wars where Europe's Far Right, motivated by, among other things, racism have attacked these newcomers.
  • Not that it was the first time Germany had such incidents, after the reunification there were several violent and sometimes even deadly far-right attacks against asylees, as well.
• The Scrappy: Malek shifts between this and the Woobie for the first half of the anime, only growing with help from Joseph and even a little from Hermann.
• Too Cool to Live: You won't believe how many characters.
• The Woobie: The writers are definitely trying for this with Malek, Johann, and the Outers in general. Snow qualifies too. Considering what made Xargin snap in the first place, that might qualify him as a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds.
