Set in the near future Germany, it portrays hideous demonic being called Demoniacs or Amalgams on the prowl on German soil attacking civilians and were said to be from the dead. The Bundezpolizei establishes an anti-Demoniac unit called the Xenogenesis Assault Team, armed with military-grade weapons and equipment to protect the German populace from Demoniacs and to spearhead anti-Demoniac operations. Individuals who are able to control the Demoniac powers and use them to fight against them on their own terms or to destroy the world are called Blassreiters.
Prior to airing of the show, GONZO Studios and Nitro+ had posted a promotional movie of Blassreiter on their website.[5][6]
GRANRODEO announced on their website's information page entry dated on April 4, 2008 that the OP song of Blassreiter, "Detarame na Zanzō", would be included in their upcoming album Not for Sale, which would be released on May 14, 2008.[7] On Aki Misato's website on 29 February 2008, she announced that she would be doing the ending song of Blassreiter, "sad rain", with a planned release of a Blassreiter ED soundtrack on May 14, 2008.[8]
Minami Kuribayashi's song "unripe hero" is used as the opening theme from episode 15 to 24[9] with Kanako Itō's "A Wish for the Stars" is used as the ending theme after episode 13 right up to the end.[10] For the final episode, the opening uses scenes from the previous episodes and the song plays the second verse and chorus instead of the first.
During a motorcycle race in Germany, a Demoniac attacks German policeman stationed at the race track before taking control of an ambulance and attacking several competitors. Motorcycle star Gerd Frentzen faces off against the Demoniac before armed XAT officers cordon the area. An unknown being in a blue Blassreiter form appears and kills the Demoniac. In the process, Gerd is injured and paralyzed from his waist down. Gerd is disillusioned when he discovers that he is being dropped from the team and Igor will take his place. Some time later, a mysterious doctor, Beatrice Grese, offers Gerd an experimental drug. During an XAT-led operation to track down a Demoniac hiding in an industrial complex, a Blassreiter appears and destroys the Demoniac. XAT officers Hermann Saltza and Amanda Werner are shocked to see the Blassreiter transform into Gerd who has fully recovered his ability to walk. Beatrice Grese seems satisfied with the results of her experiment with Gerd.

Despite efforts to locate Gerd's possible corpse, the XAT only find his ruined motorcycle. As a precaution, XAT isolate Jill and Matthew after their contact with Gerd's Blassreiter form and continue the search for the blue Blassreiter who is declared a high priority target by Wolf Göring. Meanwhile Amanda's brother Malek is being mocked by delinquents, but Joseph Jobson comes to his aid. Matthew turns into a Demoniac from exposure to Gerd's blood when he stabbed Gerd at Jill's house. The blue Blassreiter, Joseph Jobson, pursues him, but they are both hit by XAT rockets. Matthew goes back to Jill's house, where he becomes a Blassreiter, but Joseph Jobson again attacks Matthew and this time he finally destroys him.
XAT is mobilized into action when multiple Demoniacs appear in several town blocks and attack armed policeman. Joseph intervenes in his Blassreiter form and chases down the Demoniacs but some XAT operatives hold him responsible for massacring policemen when they arrive late on the scene. His actions in protecting a citizen and consequent wounding cause Amanda Werner to question whether Joseph is really XAT's enemy. Jill's condition from contact with Gerd's blood becomes worse, forcing Wolf to have her heavily sedated. Meanwhile, Malek is beaten up by his friend Johann who is also pressured by the delinquents. Gerd survived his crash and is seen killing a motorcycle-possessed Demoniac out on the highway. However he has confusing visions and problems managing his Blassreiter form.

Joseph continues his story, telling Amanda how while Xargin helped people at the church, it was torched by anti-Outsider rioters and Xargin was burned. When visiting Xargin in hospital, Joseph met Sasha who recognised his rosary and told Joseph that they were siblings separated at birth. At the time, Sasha was carrying out bio-engineering research at the university with nanomachines to overcome disease. To help the immigrant refugees displaced by the flood, Xargin and Joseph broke into the university for medicine, but were caught by the guards. Sasha negotiated with director Victor Stachus to have them released. After Sasha's apparent death by anti-Outsider hooligans and the deaths of Outsider children due to lack of medicine, Joseph learned that Victor was using her research to create living weapons.

When Joseph was injured trying to stop him, Xargin dropped some of his blood into Joseph's mouth, making him a Blassreiter. Back in the present, Amanda and Joseph are standing in the graveyard then two machines appear, piloted by Mei-Fong and Sasha, who is alive but looks different.
