But seriously I really think that Elen is still alive o_O That posture on the nights sky fit her, And her hair (wtf you could brake your tonge xD) was also outlined. My guess is that she will be back and she will fight Zwei... or not. To hell with speculations I want another episode!

I love the new Reiji. He's colder, older, sexier and even more dangerous. I think the new look and hair suits him as well as he new edge.

Brava!

Agreed, he's way more badass now, exactly how phantom should be.

LOL XD got bunch of things to say
Reiji's theme song is ba XD
it was played like 3+ times XD

also i knew it was New York XD , the first part looked somewhere near the Brooklyn Bridge XD

New hair also BA XD

HAD to LOL at Reiji's last line of the episode it was something like " i screw up ppl's lives" XD

hmm , o also gatta ask yourself if this series would end like deathnote XD
gatta ask yourself whether the main character is a good guy or bad guy
lastly hate to say it but Reiji's facial expression looks like he is gonna rape some1 anytime O.O

Anyway, great episode as usual. First minute I was like "wtf is going? Is this anime?" Pretty impressing background. And I lol'd that one soundtrack was used in this episode 5 times.

You weren't the only one thinking that. It was really impressive.

I like the introduction of Cal, though I do worry that they might make her more annoying than helpful. Still, I'm sure we know where this will all lead to eventually in terms of plot.

Another 'loli a with gun' anime. Great... just great... :/
Reji/Cal arrangement was one of the dumbest scenes I've ever seen. I liked the first half of the episode though.

ah great music, great how Zwei/Reji looks/acts now.
A lot of good improvement over the first arc.
I dunno who the shade was the logical would be Ein ... but baah i wouldn't like that.
The new kiddie looks okay, i hope she can shake some more emotions out of Zwei/Reji

Cal is kinda lol but nice to see the main protaganist with some emotion even if inside he is "dead"

Also Claudia groan and bath robe = nose bleed

As for reji's look, he either

1. got longer hair
2. hair gel

Also good stylist :p

It was good hoenstly, great direction as always. And nice developments too overall, I like the way the series is handled, and I hope we won't see Ein ever again (not that I don't like this character, but well... she's dead, and a dead character shouldn't be revived under any circumstance).


Oh cooome on! People, what's wrong with you? Seriously, let's just rewind to 10th ep. Reji was shot FOUR times in the freakin' chest, while Elen got only one bullet (one could say it was in heart, but I doubt that anyone can be 100% sure). So HOW, tell me HOW Elen is more dead than Reji?

I have to admit, my logically thinking part of brain is more annoyed by Reji being still alive - so I said myself "hey, if they made him live after 4 bullets, why wouldn't they let Elen live as well" ;_;

Worst episode so far. So,they thought Zwei would be "cool" with Hip-Hop Bgm.Sadly,the BGM failed hardly. Oh yeah,i heard the background music about 4 times... in one episode,the SAME music...nice,good work!
The episode was boring as hell,I was almost going to sleep...

Don't like new music. Operatic Choir > Hip-hoppish "city music".

I'll withhold judgement on the loli. She's only been in one episode so far, people!

I do think it's interesting she got in a car with Reiji when she doesn't know him at all. :3

Alright episode but not much happened as far as story progression. However this episode was nice to see Reiji's character progression in the past months and he got a loli partner... who could have seen that coming. <.<

Like some others have speculated I too think that the killer was Elen/Ein, and I believe Reiji thinks so as well and is using Cal to get closer to the killer/Elen.

Hahaha, Reiji is such a player, get that McCunnen ass.

Anyways, alright episode. Like everyone has said, Cal seems to be annoying already. I like the music that goes along with Reiji-pimp-mode, it's a nice beat. This is definitely one of the more interesting series out of the Spring 09 season, IMO.

that's exactly what i think.. and the 15th episode is called "Reunion", so that could be reunion of Ein and Zwei ;)

Great episode. At first I thought I'd accidentally started a movie or some action detective episode like CSI lol.

Music was very nice, episode itself, too. Not convinced that Eren is gone yet. Looking forward to see what the loli's role is gonna be.

I have to admit, my logically thinking part of brain is more annoyed by Reji being still alive - so I said myself "hey, if they made him live after 4 bullets, why wouldn't they let Elen live as well" ;_;

To be honest, I've given up on seeing realism in this show. The only way Reiji could have been saved with that many gunshot wounds to the chest/abdomen would be through major surgery and some good recovery time (though, from last episode, he seemed fully recovered after only 3 months...)

Overall, it was an OK episode with good and bad points. Animation was solid, and the opening nightscape scene was amazing - I was almost fooled into thinking it was real. The plot is moving along nicely, which is a lot more than I can say for other series.

Bad points include Reiji's hip-hop theme. The music, in and of itself, is not that bad but it was played too many times in one episode (actually, I've found this is a problem of BGM themes in Phantom in general) and, sometimes, it didn't really fit the atmosphere of the scenes playing out (the opening scenes come to mind here). Also, I agree with nx6 that it was interesting that a little girl would get into a car with a suspicious guy like Reiji when she hardly knows him >.> She obviously learned nothing about not getting into cars with strangers.

Great episode. Zwei with the "i will rape someone" look on his face seems interesting and Claudia role in the anime is getting really big. The development of her relationship with Zwei and Inferno will be interesting for the future episodes.

I was firstly shock like other people by the opening. I was like wtf! this seems real. And it really had a CSI kind of start to it. Phantom really has nice drawing and this is something i love about this show.

Also the mystery killer left lot's of clues that it might be Ein and that's something good since i definitely prefer her from stupid loli. Why did he took that loli with him anyway? With that new look on his face it really seems like he wants to rape her lol!
Also i predict a dead black guy in the future. Guess who am talking about.

Er... you are aware that she's currently homeless, and trying to stay off the streets? In ep12, she has pegged Reiji as a sugardaddy-for-the-time-being, and so she's taking the risk. Besides, you see her shaking and frightened in the shower, too. But what's the alternative to her?

Watch ep13 and you'll understand more.

- Awesome opening scene
- Overall boring episode
- The music theme is nice, but gets tiring after being played 5 or 6 times in the same episode
- Claudia (apparently) was nerfed to Reiji's plaything
- Cal's intro seemed incredibly rushed and random (not a very good combo)
- Don't like Cal's voice... at all
- Hated that they're "partners"... no logic whatsoever
- Have a feeling that I'll hate Cal

Basically (personal opinion), worst episode yet.

This show feels nothing like what I thought it would be 7 episodes ago. Reiji's thoughts after teaming up with Cal were kinda disturbing. Crowdia should have been roasting in the ground, lame boring btch. Hmm I also get the feeling Reiji is going to be dead at the end of this show.

And whats with loli Cal? Its like watching some serious film like Assasination of Jesse James and suddenly a cute 10yr old girl shows up at Robert Ford's place and tries to team up with him with smiles and all.

Finally, I don't like the Hip Hop theme. I hope it goes away soon. With 14 more episodes, I hope it gets better.
