STORY: Those who have played the Visual Novel or watched "Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom" anime series will see that the base of the story is the same, but that "Phantom: The Animation" changed almost every scene. In addition, some plot developments are useless (Zwei being offered his memories back didnt't serve the plot at all), we

Phantom The Animation is a short OVA about a young man, meeting an assassin while she was carrying out her job. Thus leading to the story of this OVA.
The story is short and simple; a young man is taken by an organization and being trained by their number one hit man ‘Phantom’. Despite being only three episodes long, the story was well delivered. It was straightforward, sweet, and action packed. The animation is pretty good. The back grounds are well detailed; the action scenes are swift and smooth. However; the character design could use more work. It is not as detailed as the sceneries, which ... Aug 14, 2023
"Phantom - The Animation" is a 3-episode OVA Series that wasn't really in my plan to watch list. I saw it on one of my HDDs and started watching it because...well, it's only like hour and half long.

There's also another adaptation (Requiem for the Phantom) that I haven't seen, but I really want to do it now because of this series. The plot is really simple, a guy is kidnapped after witnessing a murder and avoiding a sniper girl named "Ein". Later, an organization erased his memories and ... Jul 16, 2021
I seen someone say that this is an adaptation for the VN. I didn't read further but, if this OVA stayed clear of changing things from the VN, Phantom: The Animation is really boring and confusing at first.

While the OP sounds really good, it hypes you up to just be disappointed in the underwhelming 3 episodes. Hopefully while watching the full 12 episode series, i
