List of Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom episodes explained
This article lists the episodes of the Japanese anime series Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom, which is animated by Bee Train and directed by Koichi Mashimo under the Project Phantom group.[1] [2] The series went on air on April 2, 2009 on TV Tokyo.[3] Subsequently, the show also aired on AT-X, TV Aichi, and TV Osaka.[3] FUNimation Entertainment is streaming the series for its North American audience.[4]
The anime is based on the 2000 video game Phantom of Inferno.
The series is about a Japanese national who gets kidnapped by an assassin syndicate called Inferno after he personally witnesses an assassination while visiting the United States. Inferno is a criminal organization attempting to unite all known underworld mob gangs into one conglomerate. To achieve their goal, Inferno deploys its assassin operatives, who are codenamed Phantom. Among them is an amnesiac girl named Ein and the Japanese national, who was given the name Zwei as his codename after being brainwashed of his previous memory.
An announcement regarding the show was first announced in the January issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Newtype magazine with Yoshimitsu Yamashita, Mutsumi Sasaki and Yoko Kikuchi being the main animators with Bee Train being in charge of animation.[5] Soon afterwards, a promotional video of Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom was broadcast on Biglobe.[6] Music for the series is created under Masumi Itō, using the alias Hikaru Nanase.[2] For the first 19 episodes, the opening song "Karma" is written and sung by Kokia and arranged by Hikaru Nanase, with the ending song is sung by Ali Project with CD singles released.[7] From episode 20 onwards, a 2nd opening song is sung by Ali Project[8] with a 2nd ending song "Transparent" written and sung by Kokia and also arranged by Nanase.[9] In addition, the OST of the show with CD singles by Ayahi Takagaki and Miyu Irino have been released to the public on July 8, 2009.[7]
