The synopsis.
In an alternate version of the present, Tokyo has been stricken by a shocking terrorist attack, and the only hint to the identity of the culprit is a bizarre video uploaded to the internet. The police, baffled by this cryptic clue, are powerless to stop the paranoia spreading across the population.
While the world searches for a criminal mastermind to blame for this tragedy, two mysterious children — children who shouldn’t even exist — masterfully carry out their heinous plan. Cursed to walk through this world with the names Nine and Twelve, the two combine to form “Sphinx,” a clandestine entity determined to wake the people from their slumber — and pull the trigger on this world
Why should you watch it?
So, why should you watch Zankyou no Terror?
Music! The soundtrack to Zankyou no Terror is amazing, it goes beautifully with the anime seemingly having a song for every occasion. This massively adding to the over all feel of the anime.
The series’ soundtrack is composed by Yoko Kanno.
Yoko Kanno is notable for the music arrangements in anime like:
- Cowboy Bebop, Space☆Dandy, Darker than Black and has also worked on some Code Geass movies.
Art work and animation! The art work in this anime is incredibly good being light and vibrant but at the same time having areas that are darker to add to the immersion, this gives some scenes the extra bit of grit that they need to show the terror and panic that is taking place.
Zankyou no Terror has no source material (manga) so the animators where able to add there own little twists here and there because of the lack of original art work to base it off.
Story! The story to this anime is very well written keeping the flow of the anime going from start to finish. Although it can sometimes be a bit confusing for some people, as there has been certain bits of information intentionally left out to add to the mystery of the young terrorists.
As you watch you will slowly unravel the mystery of the main characters, learning a bit more about them in each episode.
My rating?
My rating for this anime if 9.5 out of 10.
I know this might sound very high but I loved every minute of this anime and would recommend it to anyone.
Please note this is only my opinion and you might not like the anime, but whats the harm in giving it a go!
“Pull the trigger on this world”
