Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

I joined the just for this anime. It started extremely well. Almost unique. But near the end it was disappointing and the end was TERRIBLE!!! Can't believe I wasted so much time watching this anime just to be extremely disappointed at the end!!

This anime isn't for everyone. There are alot of symbolism and deeper meanings in this anime if you can read into those then enjoy and the ending will reveal itself. Hence psychological anime. ProfessorViral youtube channel survival or salvation will explain alot about this anime there will be spoilers though but you need to understand what you're watching.

The pacing is a bit off here and there but overall ok.

If you dont like sad depressing animes then this isnt for u maybe.

You will find yourself watching anime characters having long conversations immersing u in the story.

Overall a great anime for me.

It was pure luck that i came across this anime. With a name as cumbersome and kind of corny as Phantom:Requiem for the Phantom, I'm still surprised that i noticed this anime. While not very popular, this anime had very high ratings so I decided to give it a shot. The first few episodes were intriguing enough to keep me watching. The noir and ethereal theme of the show paired in a way that was totally original. By the time the action picked up in the show, I was completely hooked. Excellent storytelling, plenty of action (but not at the expense of the story), surprising plot twists, and deeply developed characters make me wonder why this anime isn't well-known ( i think it may have to do with the OVAs that were also based on the Phantom of Inferno story. The OVAs followed a different route and were pretty crappy). Despite being a show about assassins and crime, you still feel connected to the story of human tragedy/redemption. I appreciated the references to the movie Leon the Professional. In some ways, I believe Phantom Requiem for the Phantom did things with the story and characters even better than Leon. If only drug-addict Gary Oldman could have been in Phantom. This is easily my 2nd favorite anime ever (after Berserk of course). A must- watch for any anime or crime-noir fan.

Not going to give spoilers. It is a little dark, for warning a child dies in this show. Doesn't have any gore, hardly any blood too, but there is some nudity. Honestly if you have a problem with it, it is easy to skip over it in this show. If I were you I would watch it. It has like three or four seasons. Everything that happens in it is fairly predictable if you watch other things like it. It isn't too slow and it isn't too fast, (but that is just personal preference). I actually have not checked what it is rated but it is most likely TV-MA. Depending on if you are reading this for giving your child permission, I would say obviously it would depend on your standards, there is minimal swearing, but you are big on no nudity I would say don't watch this other wise you should watch it. (I mean if you have done this much research and read all the way to here you might as well watch it). That is all I have to say.

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.
