Keep it a secret. So help me if it gets defiled by anything modern. There are roughly 2-3 animes that even come close. This anime has only one true flaw before my eyes, and it's merely due to episode ordering. Cal is introduced at the start of season 2, however, within season 2, a timeskip happens. As a result, the aging of characters doesn't feel as earned since, from a real life time scale of "hours watching" or "hours between each viewing" doesn't feel long enough.
La segunda temporada es re flaca y la primera esta buenisima, pero es medio plagio de Leon el asesino. Me pasa lo mismo que con rainbow que es medio plagio de shawshank redemption
that really isn't a hard feat considering people nowadays have awful taste. it does have some flaws but all comes down to it, it keeps a solid cohesive story throughout and I love this series
Same, damn bruh this left me so empty even the ending. I watched it first around the same age as you. I'm turning 23. Imma rewatch it. Last time I watched it in English but now I learnt German. I'll try watching it in German after all they use Eins, Zwei, and Drei (German 1,2,3) 😅

This show broke me. I've seen it 6 years ago, two times, and even after so much time has passed, I feel anxiety and a knot in my stomach... Yet I really appreciated it.
I did enjoy the show and the ending was perfect, but...what made me omit this from my "masterpiece list" was the second season amd the whole school arc with the blonde girl. I think they did that to lure usual anime fans back but it was very out of place for the show. First season and the ending would have been enough for me.

I am Mongolian but i have never realized it. "Buuvee" is the Mongolian lullaby song. The word "Buuvee" is actually originated from "Buu ai" which means "dont be afraid".
The fact that the Anime has some Plot holes but still manages to make an emotional attachment proves that the plot of the Anime was pretty good If there is a proper remake of this Anime explaining all the things with the same op and ost it would be wonderful 👍👍👍 (Sorry for Grammatical mistakes)
What plot holes? How Cal grew up fast? Because Scythe Master gave her hormones, I had that theory straight away when I saw her and I was right since I check if the answer was in the novels, it was indeed in them but it is not hard to understand it tbh even if it is not said in the anime. Was realistic. What other plot holes?
Easily one of the best animes I've seen to date. And yes, I do agree with a lot of commenters here, this anime deserves a lot more attention. Gen Urobuchi is a boss!!!
Please play through the visual novel. It tells the story much more in depth. Plus the option for different routes is great as well. I personally liked Cal's route the most. :3
+yevon sama It was released in English back in 2003, but it was so obscure that I doubt many have heard of it. Mainly because it was released as a DVD player based game.
It's interesting how everyone seems to prefer a typical happy ending... I can't say I don't enjoy happy ends as well, but to call it a shitty ending doesn't make sense to me. A depressing or sad ending makes you thinking longer and deeper about it.
The ending made sense of course, but the anime itself just made me furious at points. I still enjoyed watching it of course, but man, an anime has never made me so angry.
It's shitty ending because they adapted the true ending but changed the last minute,i don't like when they change drastically something in an ADAPTATION.
Kami kaz well in the same time, it seems a bit logical cuz the anime is named " requiem for the phantom" , so the end is THE requiem for him, i know that's sad but ...
The original story was from Gen Urobuchi, other his great stories are Puella magi Madoka magica, Psycho pass, Fate/zero and Saya no uta (a visual novel)
Right, honest to god, this anime is shattering, utter brilliance and only here someone is talking about it. It's a shame and it's a crime. I guess I needed someone to hear me out. I can't deal with all that alone, although I'm rewatching it.
Never seen or expected such ending in any anime. Watched it recently and Goes in my top 5, Really recommendable to anyone who likes to watch some dark stories without any not needed fan service. 9.5/10 for sure
Just finished watching this wonderful anime. And when i finish an anime and feel that emptiness i know for sure that i watched some good stuffs. I predicted that the ending would be sad and tragic for them from the very beginning, but that ending is what perfected it all.
everyone got a bit depressed by the ending because we all got very emotionally attached with the main characters but if you think carefully , that ending is what made this show one of the best i've seen . It tries to teach you something it makes you think about actions and consequences , it goes far beyond a tipical happy ending . I was sad that they died but that made this anime even greater .
I'm 24 yo dude with a gf and I cried like a bitch when this ended. There are some wrong things with this series, but still I cried and I'm proud of it.
really? i watched it a few years back when I started into anime and I remember it was fine, but to the point of crying. Maybe I have to watch it again.

There are very few anime that I have watched which are worthy of multiple rewatches, this is the one at the top of the list. others are ghost hunt, kaze no stigma, gargantia, and elfen lied.
This is a huge blast from the past! This is a really good watch. Even if you're on of those who have to turn your brain off to do so I highly recommend giving this one a try.
the song is great regarding the anime I must say it starts of very well probably the best start to any anime ever but really falls off later untill the very end where the plot twist literally BLOWS U AWAY really a must watch
It's been a year since I watched this anime. I watched only a couple of other titles during this time, I can hardly be called a fan of this genre. And yet this anime somehow mysteriously created some kind of mystery, a mystery that I still can’t understand. There is something in it that is not entirely clear, some kind of secret meaning, a message that could be a little ajar in the ending.
So for people who don't know, the true ending is that of the visual novel which the anime is based on, which is basically the same but they survive and live happily, the novel is called Phantom of Inferno and is written by the same person who wrote Psycho Pass, Gen Urobuchi
This name of the song “Karma”means “ the force produced by a person's actions in one life that influences what happens to them in future lives” which implies the fate of the hero and heroine , being suffered by the endless nightmare of killing people and repressing their feelings . Also , the melodies creates an ominous atmosphere in order to symbolize the sense of drifting about for the phantoms in the hell.
this was one of...no make that the best anime ive ever seen, it was so amazingly put together and the story and o my god the ending! ending was just...wow...it made me cry, i havent seen many animes that can do that, thumbs up if this anime also made you cry at the end!! make Eren smile with thumbs up! :)
Most people relates to this anime we might not be forced to kill people or forget emotion but we still are haunted by our past the world the way everything works, the way we are helpless in many situations
This is one of the most undervalued fucking anime although I agree with most people the last chapters lowered the quality, but Anime in general leaves you feeling difficult to explain.
This anime is really tragic and its unlike any anime ive ever seen unlike other anime which have cute and happy scenes this anime has barely any only a few just like a live action movie would have, this anime was like a james bond movies mixed with hitman however with its own story and characters you usually dont see that in anime, this might be really tragic and fucked up but tell me something do you find tragic scenes in other anime, it’s all about being forced to kill people and then killing the ones who turned you into a monster, most anime is mostly about the protagonist killing someone evil that you dont know and you are mostly considered the hero while in here there is so such things as heroes.
@TheMystericaWitch The song is called karma because the main character Reiji never finds lasting happiness until the end when he pays off all his karmic crimes with death. In the entire series, he finds people who mean a lot to him but they are all taken away from him, just like he has taken people away from their families through assassination.

I am absolutely furious that I can't find much evidence for this story ever having much of a fandom. This deserves to be remembered....with the exception of the anime-only ending.
One the best anime i've ever seen . even after 4 years , still crying like a kid, damn ending but Nice ost . Its deserves more attention ... So much tragedy ,
It’s 2019 and I am only just watching this Anime, but wow... what an amazing gem! Okay so I’m confused as to why people are saying the title of this song gives away the ending of the show, I thought the title of the Anime did that the moment it included Requiem as part of the title... I don’t know... I think they want you to know the end from the beginning the way Claudia tells Zwei that his fate is sealed but he can control how he gets to his ending. I kinda think we are supposed to know this from the beginning but watch how it unfolds. This song is so well suited to it! Honestly this Anime is unique and so underrated but I knew with Gen Urobuchi in on it, it had to rock!!
Аниме шикарно, браво создателям. Все в этом произведении к месту, особенно музыка. Музыка это вообще отдельная тема. Кажется что создатели продали душу Дьяволу, так сильно она подходит в тех или иных ситуациях, и западает в душу. Можно долга перечислять плюса данного произведения, но хочется сказать одно. Это пожалуй лучшая аниме-драма на данный момент, создателям удалось достучаться к зрителю, заставить пережить с героями их не легкую судьбу, а так же уничтожить типичные рамки добра и зла. Финал держит в замешательстве до самого конца. И только когда заканчиваются титры, ты понимаешь что хоть и осталось много вопросов, но Реквием по Фантому удался.
Этот шедевр несколько раз смотрел (и слушал) а эмоции остаются. Драматично, в некоторые моменты я рыдал как никогда, такое чувство будто сам ощущаешь их имоции, невероятно тяжело и больно. Конечно я много чего смотрел, но именно это я считаю настоящим шедевром Абсолютно согласен с вашим мнением
Cried at the ending. Feel so empty yet so satisfied that it ended happily in a way. Both Reiji and Eren got what they wanted out of each other and together. It started with them and ended with them. Such deep emotions i loved it💓
Karma: I fall into repetitions of the same thing Over and over again Karma: this body is like a spiral Now that I've been reborn, I wander even more Ahh Bue, bue (1); tranquilly Bue, bue; let us end this By our own action Bue, bue Karma: even though I've escaped the wilderness of oblivion I still can't remember Karma: every time I trace my memory I lose sight of it in the same place Ahh Bue, bue; unable to grasp anything Bue, bue; I keep drifting about Bue, bue; tranquilly Bue, bue; let us end this By our own action Good night
FSM - The last episode was actually good. You are right tho, the third arc is dumb and a waste of time. Has some good parts like *SPOILER* Claudia's and Lizzie death but other than that it was really anti climatic. Also, don't get me started on how a 14 year old girl turned into a 6 foot tall D sized femme fetale assassin who has the same skill level as the originals.
acelinkiopzx Agreed, I actually just watched the last episode a couple days back. While a lot of people hated the ending, I think only something so bitter-sweet could work for such a series. However, I hate the wasted potential of the third arc. It would be much more interesting if it happened a few years later and ein and zwei had to deal with everyday life, like a boring office job. It would also explain cal's ageing. I also disliked how normal the phantom duo seemed. Surely they'd suffer from at least some minor PTSD after doing nothing but killing for their whole lives (at least what they remember of them). I just hate how boring they decided to make climax of this otherwise great show.
FSM - I totally agree. They just seemed as though it was another day rather than them having dramatic episodes in school or around. The ending was very poetic in my opinion and I would like a prequel which explains Ein's past and how she bacame a phantom and also shows Reji's life before he went to America.
I felt that in the end when Reiji got shot, he didn't want to die. If he was shot and willing to die there, he would have not have stood so long after getting shot, felt like he's resisting it.
si alguna vez Hollywood realiza una trilogía basada, y en lo posible al pie de la letra de esta obra maestra, el resultado seria sin lugar a dudas LA TRILOGÍA DE ACCIÓN, ROMANCE, DRAMA Y SUSPENSO MAS GRANDE CREADA!!!!excelente anime, excelente tema, IMPERDIBLE DESDE EL MINUTO 1
Pues si lo hicieran bien , y abarcando del capitulo 1 al 10-15 o algunos mas ( hace mucho vi la serie) si concuerdo contigo seria una serie o pelicula muy buena , tiene todo lo que una serie que muestre el ´´bajo mundo´´ (asesinatos,traiciones, mafia, etc. A mi parecer la serie cayo un poco bastante en la parte que están escondidos en Japón. Sacando eso es una muy buena serie para aquellos que buscan un poco de seriedad en la trama. Por cierto su final es de lo mejor que se puede ver en series anime ;D. Claro sacando los finales de la visual novel

Most people relates to this anime we might not be forced to kill people or forget emotion but we still are haunted by our past the world the way everything works, the way we are helpless in many situations
This anime is sad at the end D:
No offense dude, but even tough most people here have seen the anime, your comment could still spoil it for someone. I think you should remove it.
why? sad at the end is not a major spoiler
yeah.. it really sad :(
We knew that.

Still listening 2021

This is one of the most undervalued fucking anime although I agree with most people the last chapters lowered the quality, but Anime in general leaves you feeling difficult to explain.
This anime is really tragic and its unlike any anime ive ever seen unlike other anime which have cute and happy scenes this anime has barely any only a few just like a live action movie would have, this anime was like a james bond movies mixed with hitman however with its own story and characters you usually dont see that in anime, this might be really tragic and fucked up but tell me something do you find tragic scenes in other anime, it’s all about being forced to kill people and then killing the ones who turned you into a monster, most anime is mostly about the protagonist killing someone evil that you dont know and you are mostly considered the hero while in here there is so such things as heroes.
Just a MASTERPIECE
@TheMystericaWitch The song is called karma because the main character Reiji never finds lasting happiness until the end when he pays off all his karmic crimes with death. In the entire series, he finds people who mean a lot to him but they are all taken away from him, just like he has taken people away from their families through assassination.

I am absolutely furious that I can't find much evidence for this story ever having much of a fandom. This deserves to be remembered....with the exception of the anime-only ending.
One the best anime i've ever seen . even after 4 years , still crying like a kid, damn ending but Nice ost . Its deserves more attention ... So much tragedy ,
It’s 2019 and I am only just watching this Anime, but wow... what an amazing gem! Okay so I’m confused as to why people are saying the title of this song gives away the ending of the show, I thought the title of the Anime did that the moment it included Requiem as part of the title... I don’t know... I think they want you to know the end from the beginning the way Claudia tells Zwei that his fate is sealed but he can control how he gets to his ending. I kinda think we are supposed to know this from the beginning but watch how it unfolds. This song is so well suited to it! Honestly this Anime is unique and so underrated but I knew with Gen Urobuchi in on it, it had to rock!!
I love that this show has a lot of haters, but a really passionate following at the same time. It's becoming a cult classic.
I remember how the ending broke me for 2 weeks 😢
Аниме шикарно, браво создателям. Все в этом произведении к месту, особенно музыка. Музыка это вообще отдельная тема. Кажется что создатели продали душу Дьяволу, так сильно она подходит в тех или иных ситуациях, и западает в душу. Можно долга перечислять плюса данного произведения, но хочется сказать одно. Это пожалуй лучшая аниме-драма на данный момент, создателям удалось достучаться к зрителю, заставить пережить с героями их не легкую судьбу, а так же уничтожить типичные рамки добра и зла. Финал держит в замешательстве до самого конца. И только когда заканчиваются титры, ты понимаешь что хоть и осталось много вопросов, но Реквием по Фантому удался.
Этот шедевр несколько раз смотрел (и слушал) а эмоции остаются. Драматично, в некоторые моменты я рыдал как никогда, такое чувство будто сам ощущаешь их имоции, невероятно тяжело и больно. Конечно я много чего смотрел, но именно это я считаю настоящим шедевром
Абсолютно согласен с вашим мнением
Such an underrated anime after all these years. I was 15 when I first watched it. 23 now and what happened to Zwei still makes me cry 😭😂
😂
This is such a mood
Even now this song brings me chills and memories flood back.
Definitely my favourite anime!!
phantom_mist17 same here fell in love with it's story charecters style just EVERYTHING was pitched perfectly
cool song ,it goes really well with the anime
A sadly underrated anime. One of the best I've seen.
Cried at the ending. Feel so empty yet so satisfied that it ended happily in a way. Both Reiji and Eren got what they wanted out of each other and together. It started with them and ended with them. Such deep emotions i loved it💓
Nah bro reiji is dead
🐱
@@Ncs315cw2they both dead
@@SeptembersOblivion 🤔really?
This song (even tho i dont understand a thing) is epic as the anime
Karma: I fall into repetitions of the same thing
Over and over again
Karma: this body is like a spiral
Now that I've been reborn, I wander even more
Ahh
Bue, bue (1); tranquilly
Bue, bue; let us end this
By our own action
Bue, bue
Karma: even though I've escaped the wilderness of oblivion
I still can't remember
Karma: every time I trace my memory
I lose sight of it in the same place
Ahh
Bue, bue; unable to grasp anything
Bue, bue; I keep drifting about
Bue, bue; tranquilly
Bue, bue; let us end this
By our own action
Good night
Thats translate
@@login5483 I'll say thank you on behalf of the guy you were responding to. Good work, we appreciate it.
so nostalgic i can't believe i saw this 10 years ago
Ive never even heard of this anime before but the song is great.
This is an amazing anime...apart from anything after episode 18
FSM - The last episode was actually good. You are right tho, the third arc is dumb and a waste of time. Has some good parts like *SPOILER* Claudia's and Lizzie death but other than that it was really anti climatic. Also, don't get me started on how a 14 year old girl turned into a 6 foot tall D sized femme fetale assassin who has the same skill level as the originals.
acelinkiopzx Agreed, I actually just watched the last episode a couple days back. While a lot of people hated the ending, I think only something so bitter-sweet could work for such a series. However, I hate the wasted potential of the third arc. It would be much more interesting if it happened a few years later and ein and zwei had to deal with everyday life, like a boring office job. It would also explain cal's ageing. I also disliked how normal the phantom duo seemed. Surely they'd suffer from at least some minor PTSD after doing nothing but killing for their whole lives (at least what they remember of them). I just hate how boring they decided to make climax of this otherwise great show.
FSM - I totally agree. They just seemed as though it was another day rather than them having dramatic episodes in school or around. The ending was very poetic in my opinion and I would like a prequel which explains Ein's past and how she bacame a phantom and also shows Reji's life before he went to America.
one of my favourite anime :') i hope it's will have a remake of this one day
one of the most impressive anime I have ever seen.
To anyone who reads this have a nice day you have good taste in anime. :)
I felt that in the end when Reiji got shot, he didn't want to die. If he was shot and willing to die there, he would have not have stood so long after getting shot, felt like he's resisting it.
this is one of my top animes. i wish more people would discover it like my friend and I did
Beautiful Song Sad Ending
This song is just...indescribable. I watched the anime knowing nothing about it at all purely because of this song.
Ending was prefect this is the real world 🌎 you live in...
Tellement sous côté comme anime, c'est dingue
Diagnosis: severely underwatched.
This is a masterpiece anime!
Magical voice.
si alguna vez Hollywood realiza una trilogía basada, y en lo posible al pie de la letra de esta obra maestra, el resultado seria sin lugar a dudas LA TRILOGÍA DE ACCIÓN, ROMANCE, DRAMA Y SUSPENSO MAS GRANDE CREADA!!!!excelente anime, excelente tema, IMPERDIBLE DESDE EL MINUTO 1
Pues si lo hicieran bien , y abarcando del capitulo 1 al 10-15 o algunos mas ( hace mucho vi la serie) si concuerdo contigo seria una serie o pelicula muy buena , tiene todo lo que una serie que muestre el ´´bajo mundo´´ (asesinatos,traiciones, mafia, etc. A mi parecer la serie cayo un poco bastante en la parte que están escondidos en Japón. Sacando eso es una muy buena serie para aquellos que buscan un poco de seriedad en la trama. Por cierto su final es de lo mejor que se puede ver en series anime ;D. Claro sacando los finales de la visual novel
To those who finished the anime I recommend watching "Noir" next.
Trust me it's very similar
Thx
Worse thing about this is it extremely realistic compared to other animes. Most of things that happen in the show could happen in rl. Scary right!
This is what most of us cannot see coming. This is real.
This anime is so underrated
I start again listening this.....or God I'm addicted
Am i the only one who watched this about 200 times total
