Mafia is rife in America where assassinations are a regular occurrence on the streets. Inferno, a mysterious company, is behind most of these dealings through the use of their near-invincible human weapon, “Phantom.” One day, a Japanese tourist accidentally witnesses Phantom’s latest murder. Desperate to escape, the tourist hides in a secluded building. However, Phantom, revealed to be a young woman named Ein, and the leader of Inferno “Scythe Master” captures the tourist and brainwashes him. His new name will be “Zwei”.
This anime surpassed my expectations in every single way. It’s so sad that this anime isn’t very well known. I had doubts when I picked up this anime. It had not too many views, it is quite old and I haven’t even heard of the studio who done this before. However, the plot was everything but not expectable, the art and the animation of this anime is way better than some of the new generation animes and the sounds are mind blowing. Despite this, as every anime, has its flaws. There were two episodes which were basically a recap with some minor add-ons, I’m speaking only about these two episodes, but in these two I felt like I’m wasting 15 minutes of the 20 minute long episode. And I can’t say that I’m satisfied with the ending either, it isn’t bad that is for sure, but it is definitely not my favourite ending of an anime. I can recommend this anime to anyone, I mean just watch it, it’s good and you aren’t going to regret it.
