Best couple of anime world. They're too damn deep, they are the true definition of how a relationship should be. They consider each others as another form of their self, another part. Mature couple who suffered together and are too different from the others.
@@dejadejod3rYT they are beautiful and tragic, not everything can end with the 2 protagonists living together in a rainbow with 2 childs, they have suffered a lot in their life, maybe dying was the best way to them to find peace
@@Zero-ke4rs i don't mind those two dying at the end , i'm talking about how bad storytelling was at the last 6 episodes and the end was a mess not because they died , but because how anticlimactic it was. Even the visual novel proved how bad the anime ending was. Too bad , the series had a lot potencial , wasted with that school life crap
no argument here... when she broke down and did her scream cry thing at the end..... that scene seriously haunted me. not even joking, i'd hear it every now and then and sometimes have it pop up in a dream..... i've made jokes about anime scenes leaving scars, but phantom was the first that ACTUALLY FRICKEN DID IT TT_TT
Both of the confession scenes are definet a well done. I don't know which one I like more though honestly I don't like how Drei's character turned out... but I very much enjoyed her confession. It really makes me think back to what she was thinking when she was little and confronted/confessed to him. Not sure which confession I like more I def enjoyed them both...
Yeah they make the best couple :/. i just think that they never had time to realize there feelings because every day they had to struggle with there lives.
So because not a lot of people know about the Visual Novel, I'll break it down for everyone: Phantom of Inferno was released in 2000, then the anime in 2009, then another visual novel in 2012, remastered with the anime artstyle. The novel has multiple endings, depending on which character you like most. The anime adapts a modified version of Elen's route. These are the endings the novel features (I'll use the remastered version for the sake of simplicity) 1. Elen's route (Road to Cerulean Sky): Basically the anime storyline, after Scythe is defeated, Elen and Reiji marry eachother at the church. Lizzie survives the duel with Cal, and goes on to kill McGuire, putting an end to the Inferno Organization, and because of that nobody comes after Elen and Reiji at the end and they live happily afterwards. 2. Cal's route (Dusty trail): Elen dies, and Cal forgives Reiji, both becoming assasins again. 3. Claudia's route (Woman in the high castle / something ): In this ending, either Reiji or Claudia has to die. Elen is dead as well, and if you choose to, Cal can become an assasin as well. 4. Mio's ending (Cherryblossom avenue): Cal comes to forgive Reiji (somewhat) and lets Elen and Reiji go, remaining close to Mio, and she's the one to kill Scythe. 5. Transparent: The anime ending added later. There's more smaller bad endings, but they're irrelevant if you ask me.
The best scene is *SPOILER* Cal's death.. I NEVER cry at movies, shows, anime but this was the first time my eyes got watery from the enormous amount of chills running through my body.. Such a strong scene...
i remeber when i was like 11 or 12 like 4 years ago. I just got verizon fios and this was like 3 to 6 months before funimation was taken off verizon. Anime and especially this show was life for me and my little sister at that time. I still watch a bit of anime because of back then. This brings back such good memories.
This show could have been a masterpiece. The score is already near perfect. Had they fleshed out the psychology behind Claudia, Lizzie, Scythe Master, Ein and Zwei. Had they delved deeper into the philosophical, existential and religious themes of the show. Had they made the show less of a harem, and lastly rewritten Cal and Reiji's relationship so that it wouldn't be left out implicitly creepy. It could have been a true work of art. Nevertheless, I will always love parts of the show and I will always love the music. The score is unparallelled.
well its based on a eroge which inherently always favors romance and harems over actual plot. The writers have more potential but were held back on a genre that didn't lead to much creativity.
Idk I think the show is a masterpiece in itself. I find nothing creepy about their relationship. I do agree that a bit more development on some of the other cast would have been nice, but I don't think it is entirely needed. There's a certain depth to those characters and complexity. It's fun to imagine what their life was like before or what goes on in their head. I don't particularly enjoy when shows spell things out for me... I prefer to do the thinking myself.
Im new to watching anime and Phantom was the 2nd one Ive ever watched, which I finished watching recently. I absolutely loved it in various regards. You mentioned Reiji and Cals relationship, that part confused me because of how weird that was. I mean, I dont think Reiji is a pedo because Im pretty sure he wasnt even a high school senior at that point in the story... although Cal was like 10 years old or younger.
@@cupofsadge8359The anime is based on a visual novel, the true ending is just like the anime, except Lizzie survives the duel and kills McGuire and Reiji and Elen survive et the end
I am Mongolian, and the flower in the ending is called "Yargui". It is not poisonous. Believe in me, i have eaten this flower many times. Yargui is the very tough flower and it is the first flower that grows along with snow in the Mongolian cold spring, thus it is the most popular flower in Mongolia.
The scientific name for what you call Yargui is Pulsatilla Vulgaris and that is definitely a poisonous plant, but only if you eat large amounts. The question you should ask is, why would they show her lying motionless and not breathing next to a partially eaten toxic flower? Because she's dead. Sure, realistically a single petal is not enough to kill you but that's not the point, it's symbolic, she ate poison and she's dead
@@Billb0418 No she is dead, Yargui is definitely toxic, just not in small amounts. But the single petal is merely symbolic. She ate a toxic flower and is lying motionless on the ground, not even breathing. What do you think that symbolizes? They obviously couldn't show her lying next to a giant pile of eaten flowers, that would be silly.
@@Billb0418 And he is wrong. Being Mongolian doesn't make him a botanical expert. If you don't believe me, look up the plant "Pulsatilla Vulgaris" which is the scientific name of what he called "Yargui" and you'll see it's definitely poisonous. The reason why the guy from Mongolia thinks it's not toxic is because he didn't eat enough of it. You need to ingest large quantities for the poison to have an effect. A single petal, as shown in the anime, won't affect you, but they're not going to draw Ein next to a whole pile of eaten flowers, that's stupid. The symbolism is clear, she is lying motionless next to an eaten toxic plant and she is not breathing. She is dead. Here I made it easy for you, the botanical pages of a university: plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/pulsatilla-vulgaris/ Wikipedia even describes the genus of the plant as coma inducing
I was kinda expecting something like this because "hey, 8 more episodes to go..." . Still i balled my fist and raised them into the air because the story just HAD TO! Requiem for the phantom was a wonderful expirience and i can only recommend it.
In the real ending (the visual novel), Lizzie survives and kills McGuire, and saves Reiji and Elen at the end, so they aren't killed by the guy in the cart.
Ah, that music at 0.41.......Perfect! Absoluly perfect. With all the GREAT classical music that they use in anime and games, I'm kinda shocked that the video game / anime industry does not have its own popular music culture/type/group by now.....oh well, I kinda understand why it doesn't, since most fantastic and heartbreaking anime like this would not be shown on most major and popular tv channels.... Since, you would have to search for phantom requeim for the phantom online to even learn or watch it online, and to do that, you need a title....which you won't have cuz you don't know that it even exists.....just like a Phantom.....
The best thing about that music is that in the OST there's three parts of the song named "Requiem for the Phantom" and in this particular scene... there's the intro of part 1, then the violin part comes from part 3 and the end... is part 2. To me it's like if the violin was Ein (or Elen ? Because it comes just when he said her name, so maybe it's the "human" part of Ein), the cello was Zwei and the instruments in part 2 representend them both together as humans, Elen and Reiji.
SAAAAYYYYY WHAAAAATTTT !!!!!! Where Is The Link to the information, AND HOW DID U GET THAT NAME??!!?? Lucky you, getting his name. XD. I wrote some Phantom Fan fiction (I'm like the only writer of it on AO3, :C ) and here is the link if you or anyone else here wants to read some. archiveofourown.org/users/Toyu/works
I made some Phantom AMV's, and Darkon frey is my school/phantom music google account, and I just wanted to say I went to your profile and I saw that you liked the ITEOTWAWKI Phantom Video on my teacher's account I did for animation class last year, I freaked out again. So thx for the like on that video I guess.
fan fiction, awesome! the ending of the anime killed me, how he gets shot, and the older phantom ova's were not anybetter. Does the original visual novel even have a possible happy end? Movie is going to be awesome after so long.
Eric Nesbitt I finished the longer of Ein's route(s) (there are multiple endings with her, happy ones that I've done so far are Southbound ending, and the one the anime follows, Cerulean Sky ending, which can be seen as Ein's true ending) while following the anime as close as possible, and I can say with certainty the original Visual Novel does have happy endings. btw, have you read any of my fanfiction yet? Just curious.
Yeah. have you read the TK manga? It is chocked full of symbolism and foreshadowing, just like this anime is if your paying attention or looking for said foreshadowing. (in above video, Reiji says "This is definitely my last one." then the unknown guy who I think is Roso-whatshisname from the Visual Novel states "Looks like the ending wasn't so pleasing." For those of us who have seen the ending, we know that is was just that. Not spoiling anything, just stating the majority opinion on the ending comment section on TH-cam)
its a very good anime....but there are better code geass, deathnote to name a few i think that a couple things were spoilet because of lack of information....for one how did both eren + reiji survive being shot..he was basically a few feet under and seemd to be blacking out before it showed him washed onshore... also the cal *apparent death scene* where the building blows up makes no sense when shown in real time...if we remember correctly reiji is just outside it when it blows and he shoots 3 guys exiting the building then has a shootout with the car eventually blowing that too but when it goes back to Cals POV she hears the explosion of the house runs towards it and in a very short time (not enough for what happens with reiji) the cops are already there cordoning off the building..... If the actualy times were synced they would have met....plus reiji running off without even atttempting to look for cal with the possibility that she might be alive??? what that piece of her clothes was enough to convince she was dead without seeing a body or blood or anything????? why??? makes no sense i think that these kinds of lame attempts to sum up what happened without actually explaining properly spoils it really
moh J In the original VN, Elen (aka Eren due to a translation error with her name from Elen to Eren) is shot, but not in the heart, the bullet more or less goes in the same area where her previous wound is, and Reiji avoids getting shot by Scythe. Like I said before, its all symbolic, Ein being shot in the heart could mean a number of things, and I guess the writers wanted a way to get Reiji away from the dock and Scythe that would seem logical in his stunned-WTF-have-I-done state of mind. In the original VN, Liz claims that she saw Scythe carrying Ein's corpse onto the boat, which manages to convince Reiji that she is dead, killed by his hand, so the cloth scene with Cal is unfortunately plausible if we take his previous female-friend-dead experience into account. Code Geass and Death Note are both fantastic shows for their genre's (I've seen them both), but I feel as if Phantom is better for its own story due to the tragedy that occurs near-constantly to the main character and others in the show, which the symbolism only emphasizes. I enjoy Tragic stories, and both of the VN's adaptations are definitely tragic. (I'm talking about the OVA and the more well known Phantom Requiem adaptation) I have read other tragic stories, but those don't really hold a candle to Phantom for two main reasons. 1. There is a difference in the quality of a story when comparing a Visual Novel to a Manga, and generally in my experiences, Visual Novels tend to do better when being adapted to a anime. 2. Some of the tragic manga's I have read don't have a anime adaptation or their adaptations don't do the original justice. Examples of the former are Wolf's Guy, and Akumetsu, and Tokyo Ghoul and Berserk are known examples of the later. Therefore, Phantom Requiem is the best that I have come across, and as far as the adaptation goes, its rather well done in terms of sticking to the story line, character actions, and a little bit less well done in terms of characterization up to the 'Cal goes shopping with Reiji' point in the anime. (this is as far as I am atm in the VN.)
@NanohaFateSakura Actually if you didnt know, the manga was based of the game phantom, which is basically an interactive dvd, you chose what you want to do. With the anime they kind of combined every ending from the game together and we got a whole bunch of different things going on. There is a manga out and its produced by nitro but they only have one chapter out right now.
@@RichBoyLivingAgain that's so cool, I can't wait to by one myself. In the novel Ein lives happily after with Zwei, which is the true ending. You guys have a good time as well, sir! 🫡
Everyone says the ending is bad; but real,y, it's the perfect ending. So fitting for the situation and their life style. They couldn't live peacefully with all they had done.
I don't give a shit about the main character having an end but he could have been able to take out inferno at the very least that is what pissed me the hell off I was like what the hell just lazy ass writing.
This was my favorite 21 moment!! I became their fan long before seeing this one, but this one confirmed what I already beleived. This anime was amazing. And I agree with what is said below. Cal and Reiji never had what he had with Elen.
Only thing I hate in this anime is how the fk even Cal turned into loli to harley quinn in 2 years. In the beggining she was my favourite character at the end i hated her.
@WizeDemon Its about a guy who witnesses an assassination and instead of being killed, he has his memory wiped and is then trained to become an assassin himself. The story then develops from that, I dont really want to give much away. I can't explain it well enough to give it justice, but its a good watch, I really enjoyed it personally :)
I feel the same, i have just finished watching it 30 mins ago and i had been hoping for a happy ending. During the end of the series i thought; they deserved to be happy in the end because of the hell that they endured. But it ends up being tragic.
Airus777 lmao I know what you're going through, but it's been a month for me. You'll get through and stop thinking about it every waking hour I promise. Good luck xD
@instantlight12 haha, i agree. she have alot of very sharp invicible vectors (that looks like hands) so she pretty can much cut of lots of pieces at the same time xD all of her race (dicloni-something) have that ability :P
@78dma his assassin name is Zwei, but he has a real name. you will know it after some episodes (if you havent already read the comments because if you have, you probebly know what his real name is :P)
This show is a rough gemstone; it has its blemishes, but it's still a work of art. Its flaws are endearing to me at this point. It becomes more profound the more thought is given to it.
They fly to the side of the gun, because they come out of the side of the gun. They don't propel themselves forwards with that kind of speed lol. I find it pretty hard to believe that the casing could be dispensed from the side of the gun, then somehow change direction and charge directly forward lol.
In the end,Reiji got shot by the guy on the wagon in the back with a silencer,and he let himself die because he'd already fulfilled his promise to Ein. Ein heard the shot,and wanted to show her "true smile" to Reiji before he died. After doing that,she ate one of the petals off the flower shown missing one(which presumably is poisonous) and killed herself.
It was a good anime, a little dry in some spots, but all around good. If you don't mind the total depressing and dark storyline. But I have to say that ending fucked me up once I understood it. I honestly think 75% of people who watched the series didn't fully comprehend what happened at the end. I had to look it up. but once I found out, MIND RAPED!
For me best part was when Reiji shot the kid. There was so much tension and I was sure that he would not do it in the end like it always does yet he still pulled the trigger. A very powerful scene for me.
@ilov3hotsaucexxx thats not correct. Her name is ein at first in both japanese and english. Zwei (Reiji) changes her name to Elen later on in the anime (and the game). You should watch (or play) it! :D
i have a feeling that in the ed wen reiji died it was elen who set it up cause she said shes happy how she is and she doesnt need anymore at the end just bfr reiji was shot but thats my opinion
*spoiler* you can look at it in a more positive light actually for reiji... cal was just tragic period. Anyway for reiji he died in a moment he was at peace, and truly happy...... that's all he could ever ask for after the life of hell he lived. He had killed TONS of people and done things no human could atone for, but in the end he still was happy as he died.... it's sad, but it's one of the best ending he could have in this series.... ein on the otherhand probably broke down and suicides TT_TT
@instantlight12 (SPOLIER AHEAD! :D) There are many changes in the game but i guess that its the very end that you want. They both stand at a big field with many flowers and Elen has her back turned against Reiji. They stand there without any clue on where to go next and Reiji is worried about how to find her past. He finaly asks her on what they should do now, and she replies with "Im satisfied with just being here with you". Directly after she says that, she turns around with a big smile.
Okay first of, Whether the site is reliable or not is not important, a theory is still a theory and as long as it seems logical or trustworthy it doesn't matter where it comes from lol. Secondly, I completely agree with you, I won't try to convince another why "my" theory is the right one;).

Mariam Hider it's coming out in 2018 don't know when.
Eric Nesbitt I finished the longer of Ein's route(s) (there are multiple endings with her, happy ones that I've done so far are Southbound ending, and the one the anime follows, Cerulean Sky ending, which can be seen as Ein's true ending) while following the anime as close as possible, and I can say with certainty the original Visual Novel does have happy endings. btw, have you read any of my fanfiction yet? Just curious.
One of the first anime i watched and one of my favorite.
best anime i have watched FOR SURE.
I tought tokyo ghoul was good... but this is just amazing
Yeah. have you read the TK manga? It is chocked full of symbolism and foreshadowing, just like this anime is if your paying attention or looking for said foreshadowing. (in above video, Reiji says "This is definitely my last one." then the unknown guy who I think is Roso-whatshisname from the Visual Novel states "Looks like the ending wasn't so pleasing." For those of us who have seen the ending, we know that is was just that. Not spoiling anything, just stating the majority opinion on the ending comment section on TH-cam)
its a very good anime....but there are better
code geass, deathnote to name a few
i think that a couple things were spoilet because of lack of information....for one how did both eren + reiji survive being shot..he was basically a few feet under and seemd to be blacking out before it showed him washed onshore...
also the cal *apparent death scene* where the building blows up makes no sense when shown in real time...if we remember correctly reiji is just outside it when it blows and he shoots 3 guys exiting the building then has a shootout with the car eventually blowing that too
but when it goes back to Cals POV she hears the explosion of the house runs towards it and in a very short time (not enough for what happens with reiji) the cops are already there cordoning off the building.....
If the actualy times were synced they would have met....plus reiji running off without even atttempting to look for cal with the possibility that she might be alive??? what that piece of her clothes was enough to convince she was dead without seeing a body or blood or anything????? why??? makes no sense
i think that these kinds of lame attempts to sum up what happened without actually explaining properly spoils it really
moh J In the original VN, Elen (aka Eren due to a translation error with her name from Elen to Eren) is shot, but not in the heart, the bullet more or less goes in the same area where her previous wound is, and Reiji avoids getting shot by Scythe. Like I said before, its all symbolic, Ein being shot in the heart could mean a number of things, and I guess the writers wanted a way to get Reiji away from the dock and Scythe that would seem logical in his stunned-WTF-have-I-done state of mind.
In the original VN, Liz claims that she saw Scythe carrying Ein's corpse onto the boat, which manages to convince Reiji that she is dead, killed by his hand, so the cloth scene with Cal is unfortunately plausible if we take his previous female-friend-dead experience into account.
Code Geass and Death Note are both fantastic shows for their genre's (I've seen them both), but I feel as if Phantom is better for its own story due to the tragedy that occurs near-constantly to the main character and others in the show, which the symbolism only emphasizes. I enjoy Tragic stories, and both of the VN's adaptations are definitely tragic. (I'm talking about the OVA and the more well known Phantom Requiem adaptation)
I have read other tragic stories, but those don't really hold a candle to Phantom for two main reasons. 1. There is a difference in the quality of a story when comparing a Visual Novel to a Manga, and generally in my experiences, Visual Novels tend to do better when being adapted to a anime. 2. Some of the tragic manga's I have read don't have a anime adaptation or their adaptations don't do the original justice. Examples of the former are Wolf's Guy, and Akumetsu, and Tokyo Ghoul and Berserk are known examples of the later.
Therefore, Phantom Requiem is the best that I have come across, and as far as the adaptation goes, its rather well done in terms of sticking to the story line, character actions, and a little bit less well done in terms of characterization up to the 'Cal goes shopping with Reiji' point in the anime. (this is as far as I am atm in the VN.)
darkon frey
Its definatley in my top 10 you need to watch Your lie in april, Attack on Titan and Re-zero they are very good too.
I feel old now this anime is awesome ❤
The end of the video sold it for me!
@NanohaFateSakura Actually if you didnt know, the manga was based of the game phantom, which is basically an interactive dvd, you chose what you want to do. With the anime they kind of combined every ending from the game together and we got a whole bunch of different things going on. There is a manga out and its produced by nitro but they only have one chapter out right now.
The Ending was perfect not everyone gets a happy ending
This isn't Garbage Shounen where Pure Evil Villains get redeemed and live like normal people
I named my daughter ein
Think very carefully if you ever teach her how to use guns 😂
@@razvy6949 I plan to teach her actually I own a massive gun collection
@@RichBoyLivingThat's so cool! You better have a Python and a Beretta just like in the show 👍👍
@@razvy6949 I do haha
@@RichBoyLivingAgain that's so cool, I can't wait to by one myself. In the novel Ein lives happily after with Zwei, which is the true ending. You guys have a good time as well, sir! 🫡
Under-rated classic action noir espionage anime about assassins. Must watch for every adult anime fan.
3:53 こんなに美しい言葉、聞いたことない
Everyone says the ending is bad; but real,y, it's the perfect ending. So fitting for the situation and their life style. They couldn't live peacefully with all they had done.
I don't give a shit about the main character having an end but he could have been able to take out inferno at the very least that is what pissed me the hell off I was like what the hell just lazy ass writing.
@@MajesticLawnGnome there's an alternate ending in the visual novel Where's there's a happy ending.
This was my favorite 21 moment!! I became their fan long before seeing this one, but this one confirmed what I already beleived. This anime was amazing. And I agree with what is said below. Cal and Reiji never had what he had with Elen.
aww thats so cute! ive never seen this show before, but thats cute!
wowwwwwwwwww what a scene... i will definitely watch it now ,,,and love REIJIs voice so gentle
This may not be the best but the writing for this story is so good (Same guy that wrote madoka wrote this one)
So did I... multiple times. The entire anime builds up to that ending lol
Only thing I hate in this anime is how the fk even Cal turned into loli to harley quinn in 2 years. In the beggining she was my favourite character at the end i hated her.
Why couldn’t it been a happy ending? They deserve it after being through so many struggles. This hits deep and always make you regret.
Yeah same here, I actually found this while I was looking for a clip of the beginning of ep 12 cos its one of my faves.
his voice is so fantastic
It's so sad...I just want them to see them happy together :
@WizeDemon Its about a guy who witnesses an assassination and instead of being killed, he has his memory wiped and is then trained to become an assassin himself. The story then develops from that, I dont really want to give much away. I can't explain it well enough to give it justice, but its a good watch, I really enjoyed it personally :)
This anime put me into so much denial. Finished 3 days ago, and I feel like my heart exploded.
I feel the same, i have just finished watching it 30 mins ago and i had been hoping for a happy ending. During the end of the series i thought; they deserved to be happy in the end because of the hell that they endured. But it ends up being tragic.
Airus777 lmao I know what you're going through, but it's been a month for me. You'll get through and stop thinking about it every waking hour I promise. Good luck xD
You guys should read the VN, or read the ending breakdown for the 3 'true ends', it'll make you feel better, maybe.
Ryan Syafoek what anime is this guyz
Phantom: Requiem For the Phantom
Damn lights always blocking the most important plots 😆
this scene makes me cry ;_;
this anime is truly amazing
@instantlight12 haha, i agree. she have alot of very sharp invicible vectors (that looks like hands) so she pretty can much cut of lots of pieces at the same time xD all of her race (dicloni-something) have that ability :P
@78dma his assassin name is Zwei, but he has a real name. you will know it after some episodes (if you havent already read the comments because if you have, you probebly know what his real name is :P)
This show is a rough gemstone; it has its blemishes, but it's still a work of art. Its flaws are endearing to me at this point. It becomes more profound the more thought is given to it.
facts this is the best scene in the anime
Do you think love can bloom even on a battlefield?
Metal gear ?
They fly to the side of the gun, because they come out of the side of the gun. They don't propel themselves forwards with that kind of speed lol. I find it pretty hard to believe that the casing could be dispensed from the side of the gun, then somehow change direction and charge directly forward lol.
Amazing anime. I love it so much.
the scars wouldn't be the only thing i'd be looking at... trololololol
In the end,Reiji got shot by the guy on the wagon in the back with a silencer,and he let himself die because he'd already fulfilled his promise to Ein. Ein heard the shot,and wanted to show her "true smile" to Reiji before he died. After doing that,she ate one of the petals off the flower shown missing one(which presumably is poisonous) and killed herself.
It was a good anime, a little dry in some spots, but all around good. If you don't mind the total depressing and dark storyline. But I have to say that ending fucked me up once I understood it. I honestly think 75% of people who watched the series didn't fully comprehend what happened at the end. I had to look it up. but once I found out, MIND RAPED!
Explain it dude :D
What happened?
@78dma Zwei is his name given to him after being brainwashed to be an assassin... His real name is Reiji...
@instantlight12 no problem :) but you can also get really really sad endings, or possibly get together with either Cal or even Claudia :P
In my world Phantom is one of the best i have seen or even maybe the best tough choice. but that is only my view. :)
The music. I love it
Anime like this would’ve been a boon but all we got is the isekai boom
THIS without hesiting
@MohzZy her eyes changes just like zwei when they switch between badass and normal mode
Also, I watched Canaan last week and there are many similarities there as well (female amnesiac super assassins & all that).
The voice actor of canaan is Cal,and alphard voice is shiki from kara no kyoukai!
peaple must show the worl how good this anime is
@instantlight12 it doesnt just tear you apart, it also crushes your heart :(
lol this scene had me a little teary-eyed and then i read this comment and i laughed. lol! XD
For me best part was when Reiji shot the kid.
There was so much tension and I was sure that he would not do it in the end like it always does yet he still pulled the trigger.
A very powerful scene for me.
@ilov3hotsaucexxx thats not correct. Her name is ein at first in both japanese and english. Zwei (Reiji) changes her name to Elen later on in the anime (and the game). You should watch (or play) it! :D
i have a feeling that in the ed wen reiji died it was elen who set it up cause she said shes happy how she is and she doesnt need anymore at the end just bfr reiji was shot
but thats my opinion
LOL, at 0:46 Ein goes off to the side and pops out from the back :) I love this anime!
O my god, I never realized how much they
*spoiler* you can look at it in a more positive light actually for reiji... cal was just tragic period. Anyway for reiji he died in a moment he was at peace, and truly happy...... that's all he could ever ask for after the life of hell he lived. He had killed TONS of people and done things no human could atone for, but in the end he still was happy as he died.... it's sad, but it's one of the best ending he could have in this series.... ein on the otherhand probably broke down and suicides TT_TT
@instantlight12 (SPOLIER AHEAD! :D) There are many changes in the game but i guess that its the very end that you want. They both stand at a big field with many flowers and Elen has her back turned against Reiji. They stand there without any clue on where to go next and Reiji is worried about how to find her past. He finaly asks her on what they should do now, and she replies with "Im satisfied with just being here with you". Directly after she says that, she turns around with a big smile.
Thumb is such a mood
I love DTB, but I've never seen this show. Time to check it out.
i love this show
damn i am literally in tears
@78dma Nickname given by Scythe Master is Zwei, real name is Azuma Reiji
玲二くっそイケメンだよなあ
The one anime with a really good ending...
after so many years i'm still so annoyed with the ending
Most underrated anime.
the funny thing about knives is they don't really block much if there even are any knife on knife fights
"Been a long time 'comrade'..." Oh...wrong franchise
This is Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom.
2nd anime that gave me Waves of feelings the first was clannad
Okay first of, Whether the site is reliable or not is not important, a theory is still a theory and as long as it seems logical or trustworthy it doesn't matter where it comes from lol. Secondly, I completely agree with you, I won't try to convince another why "my" theory is the right one;).
