What can I say? I loved Phantom.

Story: 8

The story of Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom basically takes place in three arcs. I found the first two to be frankly amazing: great plot, mood, character development etc--not much to say about them other than you will probably really enjoy them. My main problem with Phantom's story is the third arc. While I still found it entertaining, there were quite a few parts in this arc that required a bit too much suspension of disbelief. I still couldn't stop watching, which is saying a lot, but some people will probably be really annoyed at the way certain ... developments are handled that seem to make little sense in the context of the story. In particular the last two episodes made so little sense that they bordered on absurd at times. But since the majority of the series was really well handled, I give the story an 8.

Art: 10

The art is really great. I love the character designs, and the action sequences look fluid. The dark aesthetic fits the mood and the settings are occasionally quite beautiful. No complaints.

Sound: 10

If I could give the sound an 11 I would! I am not the kind of person who usually pays much attention to the music in shows unless it is so good that it's impossible not to notice. Well, this show fits in that category. The music comes on at crucial moments and just sets the mood perfectly, I think most people who watch this show will enjoy the music very much. Besides that, the voice acting was very good.

Character: 9

The main characters in this show were quite interesting and sympathetic, and though many of the side characters were not what you would call likable, they were still entertaining to watch. My main issue, again, was how some of them behaved in the final arc, as it didn't seem consistent, but overall I thought the character development of this show was great. Many of the characters have changed and grown quite a bit by the end.

Enjoyment: 9.5

I could not stop watching this, it was so addicting. I was absolutely planning on giving it a 10 up until the final 2 episodes. However the ending didn't ruin the series for me, just made me "wtf" a bit. So take from that what you will.

Overall: 9

Great series, I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of action and dark psychological themes, or even if you just want to look at some pretty characters (they're very pretty I assure you). Go watch now!
