Series review: Boogiepop Phantom
Paul •
Forum regular Michelle Howarth (aka MangaMinx) has come through for us again with a series review of ADV’s cult favourite psychological horror Boogiepop Phantom, out now in the UK. As always, guest reviews and contributions are welcome at Anime UK News and so if you feel you have some burgeoning writing talent just waiting to explode, send us a review and prove it.
- Boogiepop Phantom is a show that people will love or hate. The fact is- perhaps it is just too dark for some. While I found the ending wonderfully uplifting, some people will find the depressive nature of the story before that a bit too much to sit through. The plot is perhaps too complex for its own good at times too, with some elements proving very confusing upon your first or even second viewing. However at its best Boogiepop Phantom is a very clever and dark psychological horror that has been combined with unique visuals, sound and story.
