Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~

[shinta|hikari]

Still, he is only one man, and is carrying around an injured albeit lethal girl.

The only reason "phantom" is feared so much in the underworld is because only Inferno, their masters, know their identities and faces. That makes them impossible to find or track, and coupled with superior killing skills, makes them the perfect assassins. But if a gigantic organization knows who you are, I doubt it's going to be easy trying to keep out of their grasp. You do have to eat and find shelter, and those things cost money and necessitates contact with the rest of society, both activities a possibility of being exposed and caught.

PS: That leg scene made me want to puke.

In the immortal words of Gabe from PA: "Shit is about to get sweet."

[shinta|hikari]

I think it was more than sweet enough this episode, with the extremely erotic bullet removal scene.

Ein is just too hot, especially because even if she acts like a robot. Maybe that is why hearing her scream in ecstasy pain was so arousing amusing.

[Nipponsei] Phantom -Requiem for the Phantom- ED Single - Jigoku no Mon [ALI PROJECT].zip

Definitely not my favourite Ali Project songs. In fact, I think the only one I actually liked is Code Geass S1 ED1. .

[shinta|hikari]

I love Ali Project, so thanks. My favorite would have to be the one from Kaibutsu Oujo/Monster Princess. That was awesome.

[Xelbair]

Ali Project made OST for Hack//Roots right?

[shinta|hikari]

Most of them, with another of my favorite bands, Fiction Junction Yuuka, doing the rest.

[Xelbair]

Not my style of music but i really did enjoy Roots ost, and phantom ost is great too.
And phantom ep once again ended in cliffhanger - i just can't get enough of this series.

I'm talking more along the lines of two of the best assassins around are gonna start ruining peoples shit.

Best assassins:

Episode 9 - Underwater


- - - - - - - --




Edit: A somewhat short honeymoon... I don't think Ein and Zwei's level of skill is quite consistent throughout the series. Sometimes they are like real, unstoppable killing machine, and then sometimes they let people sneak behind them like there're no worries in the world.

Plus Zwei should have fricking hugged Ein after he took the gun away from her and had his little speech. I'm almost amazed that didn't happen, especially now that the dude has his memories back.

[shinta|hikari]

I wondered the same thing, especially because in the game, he did.

Ein didn't do badly, while Reiji was stupid enough to hotwire a car from the outside with his back exposed to the world. Even a dumb cop could have arrested him.

[Buffalobiian]

There's always a hug in these sorts of scenes. Always. I suppose they held hands, but that's hardly a substitute.

As for Zwei, his mindset is completely different. As Ein said, he's not Zwei anymore. He's still got all his skills no doubt, but now that he's got more on his mind than just missions, I wouldn't expect him to be as good on a day to day basis. For example, he's not remembering everybody's characteristics anymore when he walks the streets normally, while he's been trained to do that, and only that, when he was Zwei.

Regardless, there's no excuse for stealing a car with the door open.

Ein was a tad slow too. The stalker drew the gun a fraction faster than her even though she crept up on him.

[shinta|hikari]

I guess that's what happens when you give emotions to previously numbed teenage killers. Doubt will definitely dull ones skill in anything, especially if it is something that normally causes guilt. Doubt and regret usually go hand-in hand.

Phantom - 08 (1280x720 H264) - [Inferno]
Phantom - 08 (XviD) - [Inferno]
Phantom - 09 (1280x720 H264) - [Inferno]
Phantom - 09 (XviD) - [Inferno]

The comments for these torrents indicate a dissatisfaction with accuracy of the Funimation sponsored subs that Underwater is basing their releases on. Something about Eren instead of Ellen was mentioned. I watched SoT's release for ep 09 and it said Ellen so idk.

[Buffalobiian]

It always amazes me that sponsored subs who would most likely have access to resources fansubs don't can still stuff up like this, if it is indeed the case. Normally, fine, but a name?

[Yukimura]

I tend to think the problem with 'sponsored' material is an overabundance of bureaucracy and red tape between decision making and actual appreciation for the product. A translator or editor in a fansub group would only bother doing the work because they honestly cared about either the show itself or at least cared about maintaining their own reputation within their group or the community at large. The corporate translators or editors could be working on the show just because it's their job and not care for the subtleties of the source material.

[Xelbair]

still once again i can't wait for next episode...damned cliffhangers.
Zwei was pretty stupid hotwiring that car, that was the only thing that annoyed me in this ep.

[Kraco]

All who draw the sword will die by the sword:

Episode 11 - Inferno
Episode 10 - Inferno

Episode 11 xvid - Inferno
Episode 10 xvid - Inferno

Edit: Since crushing hopes is so sweet, I'll reveal here that episode 11 is 90% recap, with a little bit of new material here and there - so that you must suffer through it and not simply skip it.







- - - - - - - - - - -


The new material seems to reveal that Zwei crawled back to Inferno. It'd seem strange if you didn't consider the fact he might only want to be there to exact revenge. He surely seems now like a killing machine with nothing but malice residing inside him. At least I will be sorely disappointed if he's not there only to fill body bags when the perfect chance appears.

[Naruto_RNG]

how disappointing, and predictable too. He changed his master. Why would we want to c a recap within the spam of 10 eps? Instead of recap I think it would of been way better if they would show wut just happened during that 3 months.
If he is there for revenge he just missed his best opportunity to kill the main guy.

[Kraco]

He might want to take them all out. Although I suppose he might just have lost his heart, and is now there because nothing matters and it's the only thing he can do. Maybe the big-eyed girl shown in the preview will begin a gradual process of turning him back into a man from an emotionless killing machine (if that's what he became instead an incarnation of vengeance).
