"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.
This is an adaptation of the first episode of a semi eroge visual novel called "Phantom Of Inferno". 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 he obtains the name "Zwei". Now, he lives by killing people while he tries to escape from the criminal life that now he has.
The animation here goes really hard. It's an ova from 2004, and it has the typic…

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. As the first episode went by, i couldn't understand what was really going on or why they even had a reason to pick the guy to wipe his memories clean and be picked as someone to be an assassin. 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 will enjoy that more than i enjoyed this.

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 is the only fault I could find in the animation. Aside from that, everything else was well done.
The sound is good, both the OP and the ED are remarkable, in my opinion. The voice acting is good, m…

ADAPTATION: Phantom: The Animation is an OVA series that is supposed to be an adaptation of the Visual Novel called "Phantom of Inferno". However, only chapter 1 of the VN is adapted and more then half of scenes from there were removed and the rest have been changed completely.
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 know nothing about the organisation whom Ein and Zwei serve, not even its reason for existence or why they are opssesed with killing various mafia bosses and a guy called Scyhte Maste…
