There is a segment in the anime where Nine has a nightmare, and I say other should take notes, because that is how a nightmare should look and sound. The music was truly the best of this season. This is the first time I had ever seen such detailed, and realistic animation - the first time characters actually looked Japanese. Not only did it seem to have a good base for a great storyline, but it was intriguing from just the art alone. It all started with the opening song that just screamed 'love me!' And as ordered, I fell in love. I'm constantly on the look out for a good psychological thriller. This anime was definitely my favorite this season. She has a sweet, timid voice that makes this otherwise uncharming girl kind of cute. The boys' accomplice, Mishima, Lisa, was voiced by Tanezaki, Atsumi who did a wonderful portrayal of a young, lonely girl with deep insecurities (also played Natsume, Asako ). It reminds one of a dark and twisted Nagisa (Free!!), but holds more depth than that. Likewise, Saito, Soma takes Twelve's character and does his own this with it, bringing the street smart, energetic boy to life (also played Tatsumi ). The voice is deep and silky like velvet, but hides a certain weakness under the dark tones. Ishikawa takes Nine's sadistic, yet kind and insucure personality and molds a new voice for this character.

The three main voice actors of this series open the audience to a whole new world of desperation, solitude, and hope. Ishikawa, Kaito plays the brilliant, but shut off Nine, a genius hacker and brilliant mastermind (also played Harutora ). The police are powerless to stop these children - who shouldn't even exist - from pulling the trigger on this world. As terrorists, they go by the name of 'Sphinx,' uploading videos to tell where the next attack will be. 'Zankyou no Terror' is a story about two odd teenage boys, Nine and Twelve.

I don't know what expectations I had for this anime, but it sure exceeded any thoughts about it swirling around in my mind. 'Zankyou no Terror' is a terrifying thriller that will resonate with your soul.
