SPOILER-FREE™ Could you kill a person? I don’t mean some hypothetical “button you could press and someone you’ve never met dies.” I mean: could you look into the eyes of another human being and pull the trigger? For a long time now Gen Urobuchi and I have had a love/hate relationship. I’ve absolu...

Phantom starts off with an interesting concept then falls of the ladder in my opinion. Watched to the 5 episode mark and wanted to continue but after 10 episodes I felt it was a bit of a drag, the recap episodes was the low point of the series. It was the writing I thought that brought it down bu...

A series that had seen, if I'm not wrong, a few ovas before which left the full anime, so it was waiting for certain things to be satisfied. This is a series that may have two ways of scoring: can easily for some to become a masterpiece, or falling to others in the way of how terrible or cliche. ...

"Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom" , this title brings back memories. The series itself has everything you may want : a good storyline with some unsuspected twists, evolving characters and good interaction between them, great soundtracks and animation quality. The story starts with the main chara...

So since my last review got deleted because it had no arguments, i will do a better one. About the plot. I found the plot to be really interesting. The story is about the world of crime and how is it like living as an assassin. It give us a view of how hard it is, and how painfull. It explores ho...

I'll start off by saying that this anime, in my opinion is a kin to a hidden gem. The main reason I say its akin to a hidden gem is because I'm honestly not sure how well know this anime is, however before I happened across this anime at the local anime store I had never heard of it. The story, a...

Well, this is an interesting little ‘James Bond’ style opening they have. Strangely, we follow a man who doesn’t remember anything about his background, not even his own name. I feel as though they kind have coped out with using amnesia as their background. The only little look we get into his pa...

This is definitely one of the better shows I've watched. Story: 9/10 The story was surprisingly good. Besides a few "too dumb to live" moments and the apparent special abilities of the main characters (which was kind of explained, though pure skill definitely doesn't account for all their abiliti...

I have to say, this anime is ranked #1 for my favorites. It was amazing and each episode will leaving you wanting more. I'll try not to add any spoilers but it might cause my review to be short-handed. [Story-9/10]: The story started out pretty good, it does a good job of getting you into the sho...

Certainly an interesting story, and definitely has potential to keep people rolling, but I’d say for those who aren’t particularly close to art in every form (writing particularly), they’ll miss the phantom that the author had interlaced into every detail of the animation. Story - 8. Phantom: Req...

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom is a great, slow paced anime that really focuses on strong character development in a fascinating setting. The story focuses on its 2 main characters, Ein and Zwei, who both have their memories erased and are trained to become deadly assassins for an underground m...

This review is going to be a little different. Instead of focusing on one main theme for my review like I usually do, I'm going to explain several. This is my second attempt at writing a review for this anime. Freedom is something that is not easy to achieve. Whether it's freedom of the heart, mi...

Let me just start by saying WOW. Im really speechless. The character development is one of kind. Everyone in the story has their personal story behind them but somehow linked to each other. Struggle is seen through out the whole series. Quotes such as "survival of the fittest" and "i have to kill...

I've seen a lot of anime and some of the major problems are how the characters react or approach any situation, especially when it comes to confrontations. The beginning shows a world that has potential to make a very exciting and up until episode 10, I believe, I was very excited to see more. Th...

Requiem for a Phantom is a show that follows two highly trained assassins and their struggle to escape the lives they were forced into. With natural killing talent Raiji, becomes the world’s best and well-known assassin. Contributed by the fact that the assassin’s memories were erased, the fight ...

An anime which is the epitome of the writers thinking shock value, nonsensical tragedies are better than happy endings or in fact, a decent well thought out payoff in line with the narrative of the whole series. Sitting through a 26 episode drag for a simple shock value ending is just plain ridic...

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom is an absolute must see! If you're like me and like more defined graphics and a plot with suspenseful and intense twists then this is the show for you. The opening is a bit quirky but the love story behind it all is...as it is through the series.... transformative...

Do you know about those shows? You know what I mean, the ones where two sides of a conflict are facing each other, guns pointing at each other, yet one of the sides still has the time to deliver a long as fuck speech without getting shot? Well, Phantom is one of those shows. For you see, Phantom ...

First things first, this show is one of my most favorite shows and I have only 4 of those among 100 I have seen so far. Why did I like it so much? Well first of all I'm huge sucker for drama, action and dark stories. Phantom: Requiem for the phantom presents all of it in one pack. However, despit...

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom. I had seen this anime on various top 100 lists, and it took my friend's recommendation to finally watch... and honestly, I was fairly disappointed. From monotonous episodes, idiosyncratic plot points, and often redundant characters; this anime is a good example o...
