About Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom (Phantom 〜Requiem for the Phantom〜) blends action, drama and thriller by Bee Train (2009). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. At its core: A young man wakes up in a peculiar room with no memory of who he is or how he got there. His past is lost—and his future belongs to Inferno, a violent crime syndicate.

Soon after, they give him a new name—Zwei—and team him with their top assassin, the enigmatic Ein. She’ll teach Zwei all he needs to know about his new life as an Inferno operative, starting with lesson number one: kill or be killed.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Miyu Irino as Zwei and Akeno Watanabe as Lizzie Garland. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 26 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
