It seems they thought the whole terrorist attack thing would stretch far enough to fill the whole series… but it doesn’t, the whole thing just feels incomplete as not even the apparent star of the series, this being the “detectivesque” story that fills most of the chapters, is overly scripted and unexciting as the plot itself lowers the tension behind them via its less than intense characters. you name it, this series is as arid as your favorite desert (not the wet ones).Īnd that’s the main issue with this one, it’s full of potential yet lacking so much in the content department. You might except some interesting back-story and some intense development to the characters, after all the secrecy seems to have some dark history, so why not?… well you are left stranded as there’s no solid or interesting character or story development whatsoever, not of their origin story, their relationship as survivors and avengers, their motives which seem to be so important to them, etc. After that the series focuses in the intrigue behind the terrorist attacks made by the group, and the police efforts to catch them. Made by the usual suspects, plans that involved some degree of human experimentation and secrecy juicy enough to feed the needy.

The plot revolves around two young terrorists that go in a rampage so they can expose some secret plans The damn thing is so attractive to the senses and in general much more solid than the average series that is not something I could just ignore, then I never really imagined the mediocrity that came after.

I wasn’t particularly interested in the series, I mean I make the custom of watching the series that came out in such block, but I never really got into it… until the first episode. Zankyou No Terror is the story of the “why”, the “what”, the “when”… “How”, and so on. It's definitely watchable, despite the plot holes, but you'll finish it and feel like 'uhhh. Five makes no sense why does she hate the boys? Why did she do a 180? Why does she work for the ****ing US govt? It never even needed to do anything with nukes really they had national attention pretty much immediately. You go in thinking it's going to be about morally grey anythingīut it just ends up being a standard good guys bad guys sorta deal.

It's not really clear why the characters need to cause cryptic mass panic to get the public's attention. or rather it's actually exactly as simple as it seems at first. The animation is incredibly clean, the voice acting is pretty good and the characters are interesting enough, but it just amounts to basically nothing.

It's like faux intelligent through and through, but it's really pretty and the music is nice. The Ferris wheel scene (and soundtrack) almost had me forget that the story is *incredibly* trite.
