Going Off Half-Cocked
Anime Relations:
Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom
This is the most douche-tastic thing I've seen anyone do in anime in a long time. These guys trained you, you have to know that he'll use Ein as a meat shield and one bullet's not going to be even close to enough.
In context this is actually a good thing. Most of the anime I've been watching lately is so divorced from reality that the viewer really has no intuitive sense of how the protagonist should even begin to overcome the obstacles facing them. Such as escaping from a high-security vault four stories underground. Or disabling a series of warp gates that are spreading virulent data "World"-wide. There's that extra element of tension when you understand exactly what's going on and have a sense for when the protagonist is screwing up.
Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ is available streaming from FUNimation
