It’s another example of how Votoms as a franchise has been generally mishandled. Did Alone Again suffer production problems? Was Phantom Arc for some reason, despite being longer, completed well in advance of the others? I don’t have an answer to that. Why they decided to release these entries in this frankly confusing order is anyone’s guess. We as the audience are just supposed to accept this.Ĭhirico had already been reunited with his friends before ending up on Sunsa. Such as Chirico having already been reunited with his old friends as well as Teitania being strangely absent. This is why some elements just don’t add up. Alone Again takes place before Phantom Arc in the aftermath of the Brilliantly Shining Heresy story line. Sunrise then released the following entries in the proceeding months.Ĭase: Irvine and Votoms Finder are stand-alone stories separate from Chirico’s own. Phantom Arc’s six episodes were first broadcast from March to October 2010. This, Case: Irvine, Votoms Finder and Alone Again were all released within a year. Phantom Arc is, in actual fact, the last chronological entry in the Votoms franchise.

We’re watching all of Armored Trooper Votoms in release order, but Phantom Arc seems somewhat out of place. (*NOTE* This is a repost from our old defunct site .) The Baffling Release Schedule It still isn’t quite perfect, but it’s never distracting and is never an issue. Thankfully it is significantly better than what we saw in Pailsen Files. Phantom Arc reunites us with some old friends, and the OVA also had many callbacks to the original series.ĬGI was once again utilised for Phantom Arc. We’re now in the final stretch or our Votoms watch along, so let’s discuss what this OVA had to offer. Phantom Arc is an interesting entry in the Armored Trooper Votoms franchise.
