lemmingllama Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 So far I have really been enjoying this, and even the opening is slowly becoming better. As for story, other than the fact that there is a small part in the middle that isnt explained, its quite good. So how can both of them survive being shot in the heart and with him getting shot in the heart twice and once in the shoulder??? And I really dislike Cal, unless she turns out to be a pro assassin who was just acting that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I really dislike Cal, unless she turns out to be a pro assassin who was just acting that waySpoiler counts to those who haven't got up to episode 12Yeah I didn't think about that I just accepted it but makes less sense now thinking about still would have sucked if they died half way through the series.Not Cal she's my favourite character but that's probably because the English voice actor is one of my absolute favourites, always like an anime if she's an actor in it =).

Shes just there to look pretty and make Zwei explain everything. So I dont think that her character is necessary in the storyline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmingllama Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I would like to ask you guys what do thing shall I watch Phantom on English Dub or Japn dub???I would personally reccomend the dub, the japanese seem to not do well unless they are allowed emotion. Plus the dub voices seem to fit the characters better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I came to this conclusion but I also wanted my conclusion that Elen had something to do with Reiji's death to be feasible but the evidence doesn't point to this idea so I accepted that it was Inferno.I kind of get bored of always having a happy ending so I quite liked this ending, although when seeing the actual scene I was downhearted that Mio Fujieda wouldn't see Reiji again and that Reiji & Elen couldn't enjoy there new life. Mio actually looks like Rin from Rideback to me.Also I didn't like how cute Cal became adult Cal, Cal was the happiness in this series and also a source of comedy, and the quick what-if story in episode 25, I think, where it shows a scene of what-if Cal and Reiji found each other after the explosion depressed me, it was the saddest part for me of the whole series.EDITYeah everything I said was like a massive spoiler to the whole series. SO BE WARNED!!!Yeah, it's really sad, but I'm so cold hearted that I didn't even shed a tear. lols Nah I was really tired but it was sad. I usually don't cry for any animes I have watched, lol.

Alegend1994 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I would like to ask you guys what do thing shall I watch Phantom on English Dub or Japn dub???I agree with lemming the English voices suit the characters really well, I actually haven't tried listening to the Japanese voices since I like the English dub so much.Yeah, it's really sad, but I'm so cold hearted that I didn't even shed a tear. lols Nah I was really tired but it was sad. I usually don't cry for any animes I have watched, lol.Lol I'm actually the opposite I usually cry if the anime has a sad enough scene, or at least on the verge of crying. It started with Clannad that was just an emotional roller-coaster the whole way through and it influenced me for a couple of months after finishing it, but I've come to the conclusion I try to cry so that the scene is a more memorable moment for me.I didn't cry in this one but the what-if was pretty sad, I actually thought the story from Elen & Reiji's new life episode was a dream and that the story would of carried on from him waking up but that would have spoilt the whole thing if that had been the case.

lemmingllama Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I just finished the series up. Although it was good, there were also plot holes that I could drive a truck through. Still, it was different, and so it was still entertaining. I gave it an 8/10, although it could have easily been better if they kept the story going in the way that the first arc was. I really liked the ending, mainly because it was unexpected and it was a good way to finish up the show. Really, I still think that they shouldnt have included Cal in the anime at all, I liked the Black Lagoon vibe that the show gave off before they introduced her. But still, all in all I enjoyed it.Also, why the heck did they change the OP and ED for the last 5/6 episodes??? I really liked the new ED, but it was still a bit sudden. Then again, I kinda liked how they added new songs every arc. Made it feel like each arc was completely different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumRoll Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I did:Dyeah, the dub seems good. I'm getting tired of subs at the moment, Japanese VA are a little too samey.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Lord Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Just watched the first episode and I must say it seems like an interesting anime, The first episode really hooked me onto the anime and I can't wait to see what happens next. The opening of the anime is ok, it'll grow on me in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatBoyNice247 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I remember I've seen this a while back; good show I really enjoyed it. Bout to watch it in dub now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Lord Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Bout 1/3 of the way through this anime, im really enjoying it! The opening theme has also grown on me, can't say the same for the ending theme though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted February 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yeah, its a real shame about the ED. But if you think about it, most of the music for this anime really isnt that great and doesnt really suit it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumRoll Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I quite liked the music; it differs from the usually anime trite.As for the anime, I just hit ep20 and must say I am enjoying it very much. Good AotM! I should watch rideback, I have it on my HDD but haven't watched it yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would give the sound a 5/10Also, please remember to send in suggestions for the next AotM. I can only pick good ones for so long. Please try to choose dual audio and available on Kametsu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
