Zankjó no Terror

Zankjó no Terror (2014) 

I caught onto that pretty early on!!! The explanation for me awarding this show five stars comes a bit late. However, if someone had taken the trouble to write to me with a request last year, I could have squeezed this review out sooner. Fortunately, I do not even have to worry about it too much because other reviewers have already written about a lot of good reasons why this anime series deserves a good ratings. So, I am just going to reiterate the most basic aspects of why I liked Terror in Resonance so much. The first thing is that the narrative is pretty much told from the perspective of those on the wrong side of the law. There are not that many shows like that, and such protagonists simply grab your attention very easily. Did they look like they were from Free!? I do not know because I have not seen it and do not think I am going to. I was wondering more about what would happen between them and the "black-haired idiot." The second thing is that the cat-and-mouse game between the main "bad guys" and the rather charismatic detective is an essential part of the narrative. This aspect gives the show just the right atmosphere that some viewers, like Jeoffrey, love to watch. Well, when you add to that the suspense and a certain effort (it is really more of a struggle sometimes) to solve philosophical questions, various puzzles, and generally figuring out the motives of those this narrative is about, you get something that I personally was definitely interested in and entertained by. Certainly, the conclusion itself could have been much better, even though it could have also been much worse. In conclusion, I will also add that the soundtrack and animation were very good. In my opinion, this anime series is even now at a pretty respectable 8.5/10, which is simply worth five stars according to my personal scale. (29.08.2016)
