Zankyou no terror original soundtrack series#

Shibasaki РІР‚вЂњ as a former detective placed in the right place at the right time (or is it the opposite?), heРІР‚в„ўll undoubtedly be the key to catching Sphinx, and how he unravels this story will ultimately play a big part in the seriesРІР‚в„ў enjoyment depending on whether or not he proves himself a worthy counter to a rather strong leading cast.

Zankyou no terror original soundtrack series#

As of this first episode, the expectations are being met as one of the more hyped series (an original noitaminA one no less) of the series/year, and it should be a great ride-albeit a short one, as its only confirmed for 11 episodes at this time.Р”Р„s the series progresses, hereРІР‚в„ўs a few things to keep an eye on: ItРІР‚в„ўs not so much about the terrorism as it is the characters orchestrating them and the atmosphere behind everything, and Yoko Kanno does a great job here providing a complementary soundtrack to WatanabeРІР‚в„ўs psychological thriller. Needless to say, thereРІР‚в„ўs a lot going here, and Zankyou no TerrorРІР‚в„ўs starting things off with some great foundations. I wouldnРІР‚в„ўt be surprised if she ends up being the most destructive member of our terrorist trio, but question is, to which side? Considering that Nine and Twelve clearly have an agenda and message they want to send, Lisa might just be the X-factor that makes a difference between them succeeding, them getting caught after doing something too over the top, or them being caught because of her similarity to someone in our castРІР‚в„ўs respective pasts. The fact that someone of her mindset is now involved as an accomplice potentially makes things more grim than they ever were before, and the fact that she seems awe struck with our protagonists makes her a prime candidate for extremism in the fanatical sense. As a character with no real attachment to the world sheРІР‚в„ўs living in right now aside from wanting to live, sheРІР‚в„ўs the extreme example of someone dealt the short end of the bullying straw, then tossed into a blender of horrible family relations. Perhaps the biggest thing to note however, isnРІР‚в„ўt so much our mysterious РІР‚СљSphinxРІР‚Сњ duo (as they call themselves), as it is the third main cast member in Mishima Lisa. ThatРІР‚в„ўs without mentioning the nuclear fuel they stole months prior.

At the same time, theyРІР‚в„ўre also perfectly capable of fitting in as regular high school students, and the fact that they even broadcasted their intent beforehand (without masking their voices no less), rode motorcycles in broad daylight in the middle of it all and set up bombs without any masks or care for surveillance highlights just how much of a threat they are.

Nine and Twelve introduce themselves as people with the uncanny, almost supernatural ability to plan everything out to the last detail, and it comes to a head with their successful demolition of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. These are guys that are supremely confident in their ability to succeed and the scariest part is theyРІР‚в„ўre not bluffing. Contrary to the stereotype, theyРІР‚в„ўre far from unwilling to standout (in fact, they do extraneous things to attract attention), and they donРІР‚в„ўt hesitate to recruit others they feel might be willing to join their cause. Toji Hisami)-the main focus of this story-are far from your run of the mill terrorists. Zankyou no TerrorРІР‚Вs first episode is all about setting up that sense of uneasiness, and itРІР‚в„ўs readily apparent that things arenРІР‚в„ўt quite as they seem.

ThereРІР‚в„ўs no guarantee of any pattern to find or any clues to point you in the right direction and itРІР‚в„ўs an unnerving thought that nightmares are made of. YouРІР‚в„ўre dealing with a needle in a haystack in terms of the population and to top it off, theyРІР‚в„ўre people whose sole purpose is to generate fear no matter what it takes and how long it takes to do it. And how can you? They could be the friendly neighbor next door, the guy that you paid to mow your lawn, or Zankyou no TerrorРІР‚в„ўs case, that new classmate in your high school. Somewhere out there, someoneРІР‚в„ўs sweating it out as we speak, racing against time to ensure these two things never come together.
