Terror in Tokio

Re-entering a period of anime obsession, I honestly couldn't ask for a better start. Everything about this series is so well written, composed and planned out: The plot is unique and catching from the very beginning, humoristic and dead serious, the music is fantastic; so unusual yet emotional, and despite the characters being a little stereotyped, they didn't fail to amaze me with their strong personalities and relationships. It's been a while, since I watched an anime that really 'got' me the way that Zankyou no Terror did, and unfortunately it makes it hard for other thriller-anime to compete. Call me a fan-girl, but I am so stunned from the show at the moment, that I can't watch another one without feeling that Zankyou keeps mocking them down immediately. Repect. What a masterpiece. What a clean masterpiece.

Few episodes, a well written story and a tense plot. I kept waiting each week for a new episode. Every now and then there comes an anime which literally changes your thoughts about anime (and by that i mean Japanese anime only). Your are surprised by the potential this medium has for story telling. Two terrorists, a girl who gets involved with them and a detective on the chase. Sounds simple but the execution of the story and the ending will just amaze you. Only 11 episodes which can be binge watched. Give it a try.I am waiting for new shows from this writer and the production team. Zankyou no Terror is one of my favourite animes.

"Zankyou No Terror" is a much watch series. If I were to compare it to another series, I would say that the storyline somewhat resembles that of "Money Heist," while the character's have a somewhat "Deathnote" vibe. The main characters are anti-heroes whose actions are left to be judged by the viewers. However, the viewer is left wondering about the governments actions and it can be said that there are some political connotations in the story. The story is simple yet elegant, keeping up suspense that intrigues the viewer. The animation and voice acting is also pretty solid, while the soundtrack is amongst my favorites.

On the downside, the series felt a bit rushed in the last 3-4 episodes and the few instances of English voice acting (not to be confused with the English dub which I haven't seen) was terrible.

All in all, "Zankyou no Terror" is brilliant and a must watch for everyone, including non-anime fans.

My favour anime director Shinichiro Watanabe did it again, and oh my god he created a really interesting detective thriller story.

The anime looks amazing, beautiful animation and character design that has enough human feature to be semi-realistic, but still has their anime flavored big eyes and Big round head.

A soundtrack that's gonna blow you socks off. One of the best anime soundtracks,I really enjoyed it. And it's played perfectly in Lower tones and higher tones to build up or to suspense. It is one of my favorite soundtracks.

And the mystery is so nicely build up with old puzzles, the Old detective guy have to finger out, in a intelligent matter that goes back to Greek mythology. It all ends up being a deeper conspiracy than anyone could imagine.

It feels like an action thriller movie that has been made to 11 episode shows, so it has a really good pacing and just keep bringing interesting stuff up. The music just, oh my god it brings everything to a higher level.

The characters that are so likeable and the English performances certainly hold up. The main two characters are a mystery, So you want to understand more about them, the Old detective that was kicked a side, that has a mystery to solve, and the young girl that has nowhere to be and found herself in the middle of it all. Strong likeable characters just all around.

So in short amazing character design, amazing Music, amazing directing, just everything is so good. I would really recommend it.

Okay, so Terror in Resonance (残響のテロル) has only began airing on July 10, 2014 but to tell the truth? Hell, yeah! This anime is high-quality if it's comes to entertainment and thrill! Shinichirō Watanabe (director),Kazuto Nakazawa (character designs) and Yoko Kanno (music) just nailed a perfect balance and it's staying. Oh, it's staying! I love this anime and I can't stand the time I have to wait until I can see the next episode! I'm not saying these because we have a name Shinichirō Watanabe here, who is responsible for Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and Space Dandy - thus quality isn't really a question now - but because these guys just made something that so rare, masterful you could say.

I don't know guys, maybe I'm a little too passionate about this series but I really don't mind. It got me.
