Shadowy organizations, check. Two assassins, check. Vague religious symbolism complete with shitty Gregorian chanting, check. Ali Project ED, check. Banging viewers over the head with the puppet metaphor, fucking check.

You know what? You already did it with Noir ~Booya of the Noir~ first and better, Bee Train. Why the fuck would you do it again?

Oh, but I guess the gimmick of Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ is a dick. Real big shocker that he has unlimited potential, but ooh, he can’t remember his past except in washed out flashbacks. I’m beginning to think that Bee Train is brilliant actually. Think about it: DARK EMO PAST draws in the closet shounen lovers who are too proud to just watch Bleach. On the other hand, dangle a slow, brooding romance full of painful embraces to get the fangirls. Kudos.

No~ we’re not watching~ anymore episodes~ This show~ was so generic~ ~~~I didn’t feel like taking screenshots~~~
