Review of Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

At first this seem like any typical anime but I gave it a chance unlike most people. I usually watch harems, action, horror, etc. Not everyone will appreciate this show because they come in with expectations, if you come in clear minded, I assure you will enjoy this anime series. Story: 7 You'll find a guy named Reiji, who's your average Japanese guy. He was on vacation, enjoying himself. Someone was murdered and witnessing the act of, he managed to get away. A woman named Ein, captured him under orders of, Scythe Master. In order to protect the organization all his memories were erased, in turn in becomingbrainwashed. The organization called Inferno. They are on a spiral chain to the top of the underground. Business is dealt with Ein, she's their phantom who takes care of "certain" leaders who don't agree with Inferno's ideals.

Art: 8

The art was good, I have no complaints with it. I enjoyed the blood and the amount of weapons.

Sound: 9

The voices were picked according to the characters. I enjoyed the beginning intro songs and endings.

Character: 9

The characters you see in the show will shape and form into new characters. Born anew. Reiji Azuma is going through an internal struggle to remember who he is. Why is he here? What is his purpose? Such an conflict. Ein, you will see her change. Not something you thought. An whole 360 degree circle. But I enjoy dynamic characters. There are more or less side main characters.

Enjoyment: 9

There is a power struggle between organizations. Who will reign supreme? I enjoyed the characters developing stages, the music, and how the settings were put into play.

Overall: 9

The anime deserves a watch no matter how you look at it. The first episode was kind of boring but once you push through it, you'll get hooked. And you will learn to love the characters. The ending...such tragedy..but I won't ruin it for you. You'll just have to watch it and find out what this psychological anime is about and what it will do to you.
