Phantom... that anime probably had the single most WTF ending out of all shows I watched >.<

Well I have to say it probably wins the prize for by far the villain you wish would bite it sooner.

On that note, Cal sort of reminds me of Sasuke.

I watched requiem a couple of monthes back, it was enjoyable

[Demongod]

Yeah kay finished. LMAO WTF @ the ending.

As for the rest of the anime:

Okay so of all the characters introduced...all but two (one if you want to be a real pessimist) get killed. It wasn't a downer ending...but damn...was it ever a downer anime.

I liked the ending. If you want to read my thoughts and interpretations on it, check out my posts as "Kirkdawg" under the ANN Phantom thread.

Frankly, just judging by an earlier episode, I think everyone is overreacting to that epic trolling that was the ending, considering the Made of Iron precedent that the 10th episode established that it'd take a fricking bazooka to do permanent damage to either of them.

I would think though that he would've fought back if he wasn't dying/dead. At least to prevent Elen from getting shot as well. So I took that as meaning he got OHKO'd

[Demongod]

That or they simply didn't have guns on them. Not sure why in that case, either way, one pistol bullet compared to 3 just doesn't say dead to me. All I know is that both it and the end of ep 25 (why not pull an Athrun Zala and shoot the gun out or shoot the arm or...well...don't kill the Woobie) were complete WTFs.
