Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom

Synopsis:
A spate of mafia assassinations occurs in America, the work of the mysterious organization named Inferno. "Phantom" is their most strongest and capable assassin, however a lone tourist witnesses Phantom's latest act of murder. He unwittingly exposes the top assassin's true identity, a young girl named Ein. Witnesses are usually killed, but the man is captured and taken to be brainwashed into "Zwei", Inferno's newest assassin, with no memory of who he is. From this point on, Zwei is drawn into a world of conspiracy, deceit and violence.


Being K-ON's polar opposite this season, I think this show has a lot more potential for being the best anime of the season in the eyes of the anime-fans with more sophisticated tastes. The first episode qets you right into the action. From what I've seen in the first episode, this is going to be more than just your typical girls-with-guns anime. I sense a dark plot full of psychological drama that will develop into a great story.

Aparently, this show is by the same guy who made Madlax and Noir. I had been getting that vibe from the show, so its no wonder. Anyway, episode 2 continues the mood and was overall very satisfying.

Best show of the season so far, by a long shot. (man, that ending has some style.) The music in this is fantastic.

Need some hot ein on zwei sex0rs... perhaps some doujins will randomly appear? ^^

So far, exact look to Noir and Madlax and frankly, I loved the music and animation from both shows, though Noir's lack of blood despite obviousness was a bit of a letdown...

Here we see some great old school asskicking...
"Strength lies in action. Let the weak react to me..." - Kamahl, Pit Fighter from Magic: the Gathering
"That is a mistake many of my enemies make. They think before they act. I act before I think!" - Vortigern from Merlin ('98)
"I AM REBORN!" - Dark Schneider Bastard!! OAV
