Anybody Seen Requiem For The Phantom?

Would you have the mental capacity and a firm enough sense of self to withstand being kidnapped and forced to kill, or be killed? Which option would you take?

The way I see it, either you're killed so your body dies, or you kill to survive and your spirit dies. Neither are an optimal choice.

How much harder (or easier) could these choices be to choose from if one suffers from amnesia? Could you become an assassin? What sort of goals would keep you going in life? How long until you're mowed down just like the targets you're forced to break, stab and shoot?

It's okay, though. You're not alone. An assassin who has already successfully went through the grooming phase is now grooming you. She's prepared to kill you if you don't listen, or if she is given the order to kill, but she understands you. Maybe. Her emotions seem a little...broken.

As you know by now, Requiem For The Phantom is a dark, grisly mind-twister. It's a fantastic anime for those who love the harder stuff. It has impact! The presentation, animation and relationship development is definitely good. I most definitely recommend this one if you're old enough to handle it.

Remember, anime shouldn't be treated like kiddie cartoons.

The opening has a haunting quality to it. If you'd like to see it, here is a link: Phantom OP

The ending has perfect energy to represent the series: Phantom ED

Go watch this one! If you already have, please tell me what you thought of it. No spoilers in the comments, though!

What should I post about next? I haven't quite decided. Any suggestions?

Until next time, pups and goslings! RoonRune is out!
