Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

The bewilderingly bad final eight-episode act ruins what was an otherwise passable, albeit predictable, story. I wasted my money buying this poorly written series with sub-par animation due to the undeserving high praise it received in both ratings and reviews.

With so many movies, series, books, and games out there to watch, read, and play, there are far better ways to spend your time than viewing this, at best, moderately entertaining animé.

When I first saw this I got to admit I was sceptical it would be any good because I saw 'Phantom: The Animation' which was one of the worst OVA I ever saw! But this one despite different look of characters this was not a disappointment.

The story telling in the series was a lot more better then the OVA with far more depth and in spirit of the classic game of which I am a big fan of.

Also the characters were deeper and better presented and their portrayal was far better.

While I am adamant in my opinion the game is definitive I must say Requiem of the Phantom was a far better adaptation and interpretation then the OVA could EVER be!

Phantom Requiem for the Phantom is a highly underrated anime with some pretty great English voice acting from Newton Pittman Lindsay Seidel Kent Williams J Michael Tatum and Brittney Karbowski.

The show also has a pretty great story and pretty entertaining action sequences.

I have always been a fan of Bee Train since Noir and have somewhat fallowed their work ever since I saw Noir, so when I heard about this series I just had to see it. I know that it is based on an video game but I haven't played it so I don't know how the story is compared to the game but for me this anime was awesome even though I perhaps didn't have the full back story. The story this time is a bit different from the previous titles I have seen from Bee Train, have only been fallowing their guns and girls series(Noir, Madlax and El Cazador de la Bruja) but this was according to me the best one so far, probably the best anime I have ever seen. I hope you will give this anime a chance cause I really believe its worth your time.

In spite of its affectations, one of the most carefully layered love stories ever. There are producers in Hollywood who would kill for a script this good.
