"Requiem for the Phantom is an adaption of Nitro+’s visual novel, Phantom of the Inferno, whose scenario was written by Urobuchi Gen. Unsurprisingly, this show contains much of Gen’s notoriously dark and twisted sense of humor. Characters are subjected to cruel fates and living situations; morality is blurred and spat at; and above all else, hope is elusive and fleeting in an inhumane world."
