A Haunting Requiem For a Phantom

Hi Everyone. As is tradition, after disappearing for about a month, I have returned with a full series retrospective, this time on Requiem for Phantom, possibly the most disturbing thing I have ever watched on this channel. That's not to say the series has no artistic merit, merely that it may not be for everyone. Indeed it does have nuance and twists and substance all within its at times bleak and always suspenseful shell. And of course... Requiem for Phantom is a production of Studio Bee Train.
