The turn of events was unexpected but intriguing, as it left some story points unexplained. It gave a very similar atmosphere and visual style to the episode Ballad of Fallen Angels from Cowboy Bebop. The mixture of sound effects, lack of dialogue and beautiful animation and colors were captivating and unforgettable. Since the show had not blown me away, I was pleasantly surprised by its finale.
The finer aspects of the story don’t become interesting until the second half where all the revelations happen. It is subtle, subdued and more mellow of an atmosphere. I often found myself forcing to concentrate. The level of adrenaline is not the same, even though bombs are involved. Because the style is different, the comparisons to Death Note are not accurately placed. In the show, Oreki is a policeman named Shibazaki. The mystery surrounding the boys’ Youtube videos require a very specific sort of brain and intellect – almost like the mind of Oreki from Hyouka. One of the more unique characters in TIR. TIR’s style of plotting is no way near as intricate or as fascinating as Light or LeLouch’s, simply because it deals with word puzzles, rather than elaborate, physical plans.

The schemes of LeLouch from the mecha hit Code Geass (2006) bring forth a similar reaction. The problem solving aspect of Death Note often comes as a great surprise, and is thrilling to watch. In Death Note, Light’s plotting is nothing short of genius, and we find this out by the brains of the equally brilliant (and attractive) L.

Because of the heavy usage of word games, mythology, and having presumed knowledge of other ideas, I would like to compare the series more to the slice of life, mystery series Hyouka (2012). Many have compared TIR to the psychological thriller Death Note (2006) for this reason. That, and going back and forth between police staff and government officials who are wondering what it is all about. Nine and Twelve present the viewer with riddles, and this is the type of entertainment one gets for the majority of the series.
This bizarre usage of social media to let the world, and the viewer, in on their plans sets up an episodic structure that lasts about half the series. If one wants to watch TIR, be prepared for a somewhat repetitive array of puzzles for five episodes. However, instead of just letting them explode and laughing away maniacally like any normal terrorist, these boys “Sphinx” decide to publicly display their troubles via Youtube. TIR is about two teenagers who set bombs up around Tokyo. Everything about Terror in Resonance ( TIR) was solid, but there were a few areas where it lacked a wow factor. But how well does it fare? The short answer is: it is worth it, although it won’t change your life. It has Shinichiro Watanabe ( Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy) involved, so it is clearly on a level of quality above all the silly generic, run-of-the-mill shows. The anime fans who have not caught onto the overwhelming array of streaming websites or have been busy with life, may be wondering if it deserves all the fuss. It has been the original work of the season – if you look past Sword Art Online II, Free! Eternal Summer and Sailor Moon hype. Terror in Resonance, known as its less exciting, literal title Terror in Tokyo ( Zankyo no Terror) in Japan, finished airing a few days ago at a tiny 11 episode count.
