Didn't like this episode... It was like they ran out of material and had to do a lot of recap....

Typical Koichi Mashimo styled recap, whats worse is that Claudia's development got thrown in between them. The few minutes of actual content was good though and I really liked that tune that was playing during Reiji's 'coronation'.

Nest episode: Claudia finally gets that Boss/Employee sexin' shes been after for 11 episodes, oh and a new character finally shows up.

Okay, I'm not even going to acknowledge the first 15 minutes as to why I thought this was a 0/5 episode.

I can deal with in media res starts, or even re-starts to shows. But here Phantom looks like it is doing something new, starting from the beginning of a new story, but WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND.

I will now compare the show to itself. In the first episode, we at least knew that he had lost his memory, and we had some hints as to how he ended up where he did. We were aware of Zwei's mental state, and what he was thinking. Here, we have nothing! Reiji is now Phantom? Why? How did he recover (and in three months, at that)? Coming off such a cliffhanger, you would at least expect SOME answers, but the show failed to deliver.

The last two episodes were awful in comparison to the rest of the show. They were a real chore to watch. I am one episode from dropping it. I know no one cares, but really, how can you still call a show good after the drivel they have fed you the last two eps?

How pathetic. Recap episode followed by a fanservice filled preview. This really took a turn for the worse.

And Ein/Elen is not certainly not dead.

Summary is always boring but i have to say that they did it quite good. Really the scenes they used and the way they showed what previously happened was very good. Also they put some new material making the episode not a complete scene summary from previous episodes.
So it seems that a new chapter is starting in the story and am anxious to see what follows, although not seeing Ein really makes me sad.
As for people complaining about the non existent explanation of how Reiji survived, i think they are coming to conclusions to early. I agree that it would be nice to have an explanation but just because they didn't gave us one in this episode doesn't mean they won't in the future.

Although this was mainly a recap ep, the ritual promotion for Reiji near the end of the ep seems reminiscent of Noir.

Damn, Reiji looks fucking hot at the end. >.> I skipped through the recapped parts, but that ending was pretty epic (though the whole cult thing was a little random...haha couldn't help thinking of some ancient vampire order or something ;P)

Still, I'm looking forward to see where this is going now.

Woot! Reiji became the new phantom. Omg, he's so hot and GAR! Go Garazuma Reiji!

First half was a recap but didn't explained how Reiji survived or got back to the organization. Scythe Master is still alive wearing a disguise somewhere in Paris? Lol.

Where the hell is Elen!? Fuck I need to see her. :(

Why the recap, WHY?! And then there looks to be an annoying new girl. More cutesy than killer, and she looks typically female side-kick-y [in animes]. Even down to the bunches. Gah, Ein was so much better! And now Reiji looks like hes going to be all over Ms.McCunnen? Greeeeat. Huge personality change there. I mean its expected, after such trauma, but hes going in a little at the deep end. And here I was enjoying the psychology of Ein and Zwei *sighs*

Zwei, well i guess i should say Reiji now was badass at the end, besides that pretty solid episode nothing spetacular, i wonder when Ein will come back as much as she pissed me off with nearly getting Reiji killed the show wouldn't be the same without her, looking foward to the next episode.

So 3/4 of the episode was recap. Thank god I didn't have to wait a week to watch the next episode so I didn't mind much. The suspense is killing me... is Ein actually dead...? I swear to god that ruins my only chance of seeing romance in this Anime!? FUCK LIFE. (huuuuge romance fan right here) >:(
