Type: Anime
Status: Complete (26 episodes)
Premise: Inferno is a criminal syndicate intent on absolute control of the underworld, through assassination, extortion racketeering and blackmail. Among inferno there is a position known as The Phantom; the premier assassin tasked with the elimination of obstacles and advancement of Inferno's interests. Now after a hit there has been a witness, he will either become the next Phantom or disappear forever. Ein the original Phantom will train him how to kill dispassionately and he will be known as Svi the second Phantom of Inferno.
Thoughts: This anime is TWISTED. It makes no apologies for the dark underbelly that it is meant to represent and there are some really creepy parts throughout the series. This is a dark and suspenseful thriller that is both gripping and repulsive as it unfolds. It begs the question of how far a human being will go to survive and just how much the human spirit can bend without breaking.
Prose: Dark and thrilling. Watch it for characters that are steeped in death and destruction but desperately try to hold onto anything they can to hold onto that last shred of humanity.
Cons: Twisted. It gets rather creepy and disturbing on just how far the characters fall. Beware.
-Notes: Fully dubbed. This anime has a distinct beginning, middle and end each contained within a time skip which makes an interesting series. The ending is also rather random, while it did have a point it was completely unwarranted and if the show hadn't ended 3 minutes later I would have stopped watching.
8/10 (Kill or be killed: Doing either well will make you a legend.)
