Early Impressions: Terror in Resonance (Zankyou no Terror)

This title is officially my favorite of the current season! Aldnoah.Zero being a very close second. Terror in Resonance (Zankyou no Terror) is the newest work from the dream team of Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Space Dandy), Yoko Kanno (Wolf's Rain, Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne), and animation studio Mappa (an offshoot of Madhouse [Hunter X Hunter, Redline, Ninja Scroll]). The production levels on this show are as superb as one would assume with a pedigree like that! The very basic premise centers around a pair of teenage terrorists and a female high school student they manage to rope into their twisted plot for revenge. Why they are willing to go to such extremes is the big mystery thus far. This show may be hard for some people to watch, especially those affected by the 9/11 attacks and/or the Boston bombing. One cannot help but draw correlations between this series and those tragic events.

If that is not an issue for you then there's no reason you shouldn't give this show a chance. It has its own twisted style that sucks you right in and has you on the edge of your seat in a desperate need to learn more about these disturbed individuals. What trauma could have been inflicted upon them that would justify this level of retaliation??? It's a question that I can't wait to learn the answer to!

It is simulcasting on Funimation for subscribers with the free streaming popping up on Hulu a week later. Check it out!

P.S. I haven't forgot about SAO 2, I'm just waiting to see a couple more episodes. It has started off rather slowly. Keep an eye out for it soon!
