What did Sup Forums think of Boogiepop Phantom?
Cooper Hughes
Joseph Campbell
I thought it was unsettling. Good atmosphere.
Brandon Myers
I didn't get it.
Ethan Smith
I think it needs a remaster. 360p or whatever it is looks like shit. Good otherwise.
Brandon Sanchez
they need to re adapt all the novels.
Brayden Jenkins
It was alright, LN was better but I'm glad they went the sequel route for the anime rather than adaptation. Great OST.
Ryder Howard
>we will never get translations beyond the fourth novel
Easton Lewis
Nice atmosphere and music but couldn't understand what was going on half the time
Angel Richardson
It's much easier to understand what the hell is going on if you've read the first novel in the series
Robert Torres
I wish it was fully adapted so I could get all of it
Michael Turner
no shit
Ethan Green
It has literally the best ED of any anime ever made.
Ryan Perry
I don't know 'bout that now user, I'm pretty sure this is the best ED of all time. Of all time.
Gabriel Butler
what i could gather from the show
>there was some secret project to "advance humanity" that created the freaky shit and characters seen in the show
>the boogiepop you usually see was a copy made by the energy resulting from those experiments
>the real one is the alter ego of a schoolgirl from when she witnessed a traumatic death
Does that sum it up?
Nathaniel Ortiz
oh and the boogiepop wasn't killing people but cocooning them to protect them from something or other?
Eli Miller
Not clicking on your shitty link, sorry.
Elijah Gomez
>I didn't get it.
And you never will.
Adrian Edwards
I translated all of it years ago.
Luke Peterson
...
Oliver Murphy
Wait... I was about to watch this after finishing Zaregoto.
Is it still good to watch even if you're not familiar with the source material?
Blake Phillips
I just finished it without having read anything. It was definitely worth watching, but I can see it won't be everyone's cup of tea.
It's very much episodic; each episode is like a self-contained story.
Jackson Moore
Oooh, I like episodic animes. Hell yeah, can't wait.
Evan Sanchez
>animes
Fuck off idiot.
Adrian Russell
Solid 7. Would be higher if it made more sense. I had to read novel summaries to understand.
Wyatt Smith
Why did he eat spiders?
Brody Smith
They were delicious, and he thought it was helping people by relieving them of their pain. Of all the things in the show I don't know why you'd find that unclear.
Anthony Hernandez
What was the point of Manticore?
Ian Brooks
Why did it never get BDs?
Landon Wright
That scene with the policeman in the alley is top notch.
Ian Watson
It was an experiment by EvilCorp to use Echoes' power, which escaped.
Robert Collins
I love triggering Sup Forumsnons
Landon Sanchez
Boring and not as spook as I wanted it to be.
Austin Cook
Worth watching for the atmosphere alone but as other people have said it's fucking confusing. I've only watched the anime so I don't know how much clearer it'd be if I read the shit but as a standalone it's harder to understand than fucking Lain
Jeremiah Morris
i cant read the novel. so i couldnt enjoy it properly
Nolan Campbell
can i read the manga on scan?
would it help me understanding all?
Jason Scott
Link or GTFO.
Samuel Harris
Are you sure?
Christian Wilson
What was the deal with the butterfly girl?
David Walker
Great atmosphere, both the opening and the ending are god-tier.
Ryan Rivera
The Locomotion Channel ad was creepy as fuck
Dylan Miller
Haven't read it but I think it's the same as the first novel, so yes. There's also a live action movie that covers the same stuff.
Henry Lopez
Fuck off you retarded spic.
Matthew Campbell
no
Evan Ortiz
Then take comfort in the fact that nobody will ever watch your worthless spic commercials, idiot.
Levi Wright
Great anime.
Julian Wood
Why?
Henry Baker

Connor Ortiz
Was one of my favorites when I watched it 10+ years ago, but it's been too long since I've seen it to say if that's still the case. And that was before I read the novels too, I think in some ways not knowing the whole story helped make Phantom better but that's probably just me. GOAT OP and ED too, and the sound design in general is excellent. Also I like how "foggy" the show looks until the last episode.
Also the novels relevant to the anime were released in english years ago, and downloads can be found online if you search for them. They're novels 1-3 and either 5 or 6.
Brody Long
Evan Howard
Bad OP.
Christopher Nelson
is this series the end of novel 1? I heard the other novels are completely different in setting
Isaiah Wilson
Oh baby, that's the stuff.

>watching boogipop phantom on locomotion as a kid
I was very confused
Levi Robinson
Yes, Phantom takes place right after book 1. No the other books have the same setting. Or at least the ones I read do.
Echoes was an ayylmao with super powers. Why would an evil corporation not try to exploit that in dangerous and unethical experiments?
