Product Description
A young man with no memories fights to salvage his humanity when he’s forced into a life of murder by a dangerous crime syndicate called Inferno. The organization gives him a new name, Zwei, and molds him into a perfect killing machine, a meticulous instrument of death created to obey his masters’ every deadly command.
Zwei’s not the only puppet controlled by Inferno; Ein is a girl as beautiful as she is brutal, as lethal as she is lost. While mafia violence escalates around them, the two assassins grow closer, and Zwei begins the struggle to reclaim his past and save Ein from a blood-soaked future.

Phantom: Requiem For the Phantom (Blu-ray/DVD Combo) Reviews
| 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful:  Weapons the Arcs, This review is from: Phantom: Requiem For the Phantom (Blu-ray/DVD Combo) (Blu-ray) This anime series covers 26 episodes and presents itself through 3 main arcs with some lapses of time occurring between the arcs. The series is a spy action thriller with a deep story that will keep you engaged in this world of mystery and discovery. Twists and turns in a world where the main character is on a quest of identity, self, love, strength, and just about a dozen other things. All the characters feel real and it was just a series that I really enjoyed. I tend to refer to this anime as the modern setting of the anime Claymore. There is not connection between those two anime but I feel like the are on par quality wise but this series isn't as mystical and is better off in the area of plot. Also, I'm not sure what the other reviewer had mention about this being the first season of two. As far as I know this is the only season and it is worth buying. If there is another season let me know!I will be buying this without a doubt, an amazing anime not to mention having...

I bought this series as soon as it dropped and I absolutely loved it. I already bought the Phantom OVA that was released years ago with just a few episodes and this is basically a better re-telling of that story.I NEVER compare anime to manga from 2 different series- (#1 it's not the same art form #2 you shouldn't compare moving art to still art). Another reviewer compared Phantom to a title that was released 15-20 years ago, criticizing this series. Comparing one title's anime to another title's MANGA is just plain bad reviewing. This anime falls in the same category (I guess) as Noir, Madlax etc., but those can't hold a candle to this series. It has way better production quality. It was masterfully animated, excellent English dub, kick-ass action and plenty of likeable characters. The musical score made my...

Occasionally it achieves greatness, but more often it simply collapses. The basic plot is that the protagonists are brainwashed into becoming elite assassins for a powerful organized crime group. It combines philosophical questions about identity and juxtaposes it with some quite decent action scenes. The art is variable, swinging from meh to reasonably good without ever really hitting a huge high or low. I suppose my biggest problem is that its all so damn cliche. You know, with an absolute certainty, how this story will end before the first episode finishes. Whole chunks of Crying Freeman are cut and pasted into this series, without the same quality of art. (Clarification- the art in the Crying Freeman manga, not anime. The anime art was terrible, and the art in Phantom is never that bad.) There are some interesting characters who you do come to care about. There is some decent storytelling here, noir tropes... Read more |
