Phantom ~ Requiem for the Phantom

Okay, so this is Phantom ~ Requiem for the Phantom. I bought this because it was for half-price at Speedy at Mid Valley, I think -_- Or was it Pavilion? I think it was the Pavilion, but anyways, this is mainly all about assassinating people.

The girl in the picture, who first started out being called Ein, was part of an organization called the Inferno and she's also known as the Phantom. "Phantom" is a title given to the top assassin of the organization. Yes, the girl's a pro.

However, she has no memories whatsoever of whoever she is. Meaning her real name, birthplace, birthdate or whatever that's related.

She's been enslaved by the Inferno since she could remember, literally :P

On the other hand, whilst carrying out a mission overseas, she was witnessed by a Japanese tourist *yes, the guy in the picture* However, unlike the other times when witnesses were normally killed then and there, he was brought back to the headquarters to be brainwashed.

Yes, to also be an assassin.

Since then he had been under Ein's command and Inferno as well. The reason they decided not to kill him was because he had a talent. A talent to survive. A talent to kill. In order to live, he had to kill. That was the reasoning he had in his head while he was being hunted by Ein. Even after he had calmed down and undergone training, that was what he believed.

And so they continued going on missions together and killing people.

In the middle of the anime, however, things turnaround and Scythe Master, who is the master of Ein and therefore Zwei as well *the boy*, was labelled a traitor. Subsequently Ein and Zwei were also hunted by the Inferno.

There are actually two parts in this anime. A tragedy happens in the first half where Zwei nearly died after being shot by Scythe Master. The second half reopens with the anime informing the audience that Zwei did not die and instead took Ein's place in becoming the Phantom, top assassin in Inferno.

While carrying out missions, he had befriended a small little girl called Cal after her adopted sister had been murdered in front of her eyes. Zwei had sensed the same talent he had in her as well and so decided to train her.

He never continued with it though because another tragedy happens and he assumed she had died in an explosion in his apartment.

This is where things get more twisted. Nevertheless, this is where I stop because I'm practically giving a layout on what happened and that ain't what was my intention :P However, I can tell you I did not like Zwei in the second half as much in the beginning. He was flirting too much with the big busted lady of Inferno. Bleghh~

The ending wasn't satisfying either. I gawped at the TV and literally yelled, "WHAT?!"

Bleghh~

Now, voice actor/actress revealing time~~!! :P

Zwei *Irino Miyu*
- Niwa Daisuke (D.N.Angel)
- Jiro (One Piece)

Ein *Takagaki Ayahi*
- Jasmine (Deltora Quest)

- Yamamoto Megumi (Special A)

Okie dokie then. CIAO!!

P/S: Zwei is actually pronounced "Zu Wai" in Japanese and therefore it sounded a little like "Chi Bai" the bad word in Chinese *don't worry, I don't use that word -_-* My sister couldn't stop laughing every time they said his name -_- :P
