Damn, it all went the way they wanted and then the Americans had to come in and screw it all up.

Excellent show, I give it an 8/10. I'd go higher but Five's whole story ended up being completely useless and pointless.

Really enjoyed this.

Would have given it a perfect 10 if Five wasn't there. I hate that kind of character -_- yes, even more than Lisa (at least she matters to the MC(s)). Also the things with America poking its nose where it doesn't belong (as usual) really bugs me, especially when it doesn't get resolved/known that they were the ones who fuck more shits up and made things messier...

Fuck this entire anime. They killed 12. They killed my baby. He just wanted to feel needed man. He just wanted the world to know what they did to him. Stupid America always butting in things they don't need to. They go and let 5 do whatever tf she's doing and go and kill 12 just because. Man fuck this.

Seriously what was 5's purpose? All she did was frame Sphinx (which was pointless because everyone knew it wasn't them) and commit to "Having 9" (whatever that meant) and in the end when she finally faced him all she did was kiss him and kill herself........... what?

I don't get why everybody thinks Five's involvement ruined the show....She played a great role as their opponent ....pretended to work for the cause of US intentions but was actually trying to reach out to Nine in her own way. She didn't hate either Nine or Twelve otherwise she could have killed them at the end when she had the opportunity. I can only feel that she was kind of desperate to reach out to Nine since she could feel her body giving out to the drug, only her desire to reunite with Nine was keeping her alive in the same way as Nine was suppressing the effects of drug to accomplish his goals. After Twelve died and Nine got assured by the detective that he will bring out the secrets involving the experiments conducted by Japanese Government, he simply gave up the desire to live and accepted the effects of drugs and died at the end.

I am sure if you guys re-watch the show, you will agree with my opinion....becz watching for the very first time, we were too busy hating Five and couldn't relate to her. It was great show and I will give 9/10...not 10/10 because our MC's were killed off for no good reason. There could have been an ending where Nine and twelve joins the Japanese Military and Twelve could marry Lisa and live happily with Nine...I think they deserved that after going through hell all their life.

great ending though..
9/10 for character development
8/10 for story (its pretty good at start but its been downhill on ep.5+)
9/10 for etc.

i think this anime need an OVA for Five,Nine, and Twelve or the background of the 'research'

I didn't like five she had no back story and her death was horrible she was chasing them and then she helped?? I didn't get that also the ending I really didn't like that 12 died like this I would have preferred that 9 dies and 12 stays in person waiting to get released and Lisa visiting him every day... the beginning of the anime was great but in the mids it was okay... the charecters r good except for 5 which I didn't like also Lisa was pretty weak ... I really liked the anime I finished it in one set 8.3/10

It was interesting to watch “Zankyou no Terror” until Five appeared and after she disappeared. That artificial character almost ruined the show.

wow the ending was just so emotional . The deaths of 9 and 12 really get to you but i always knew that at least one of them wasnt gonna make it by the end of anime but what really pisses me off is why the hell do the americans get away with all that crap? seriously. i like how both lisa and the detective have moved on with there lives for the better

all in all great anime wont be watching it anytime soon since i'll be needing a long cool down period before i'm ready go through all this emotion again

Remember us .... Remember...... that we lived.

Shibasaki is one of my fav character , he's so smart.
so sad to know that both of them really dead (even I've predicted this :/ )

I'll remember both of them in mah heart :(

This anime has a very compelling premise and it started out really strong, but I have to agree that it became pretty shaky and inconsistent halfway. I still feel that Five's character forced and ridiculous even though she might have been necessary. They made Nine and Twelve too OP that they needed to have someone who is equally as OP in order to be able to compete with them. While that was quite logical, the execution was still pretty poor and the resolution was too convenient.

That said, I still enjoyed it for the most part.

Really nice show, I loved the artstyle so much.

I nearly cried, it was very touching. I think five was important character in this story, maybe she was mentally ill because of this medicine that they gave to her as a child.

It was one of better series that i've seen yet.

Also OST is very good.

For me, overall 8.5/10

It brought things to a fitting conclusion. We knew that there was no future for them because of the illness, but at least they won't be forgotten and they got to expose all the wrong done to them.

This show started strong but then Watanabe went and did his thing and the whole show took the rollercoaster to mediocrity. Except from the excellent cinematography and orgasmic music, nothing else is good. Did not give a shit about 9 and 12. 5 did not ruin the show. The show already went downhill by itself. Literally a waste of budget from MAPPA for a show so poorly executed. I will give it a 5.

Damn! I didn't want them to die. Especially Twelve! So sad. And we never truly 100% found out what their story was about. I understood it to around an 80% level, but there were parts that just didn't make sense or were not explained.

Overall, good show. Good timing and decent characters...except Lisa.

Part of me wished that the three could have gone on to live a normal life, goof around for a bit and then go to school like normal teenagers. But our tragic villains had an expiration date from the start, due to the experiment and also because they knew too much. The corrupt government branches got exposed, so I guess it wasn't all for nothing. Nine and Twelve were able to experience what it's like to be needed by someone. The nuke looked beautiful.

Too bad that the show couldn't stick to the tone that it established early on. Even though the premise itself is not without some inherent goofiness, it could have worked. Make the characters a little less bare-bones. Streamline Nine and Twelve's big plan to make room for character interactions and to avoid stretching credibility for the sake of maintaining tension (how many times did these little shits escape from the police?). Either cut Five's character or give her more fleshed out motivations. Elaborate on the experiments.

Well, something like that, although I don't mean to claim that I would have been able to write a better show necessarily. 11 episodes is not a lot of time, but it's not impossible to work with. Besides, if 11 episodes was all they had, maybe they should have chosen a story with a smaller scope to begin with.

Even outside of the writing, I still don't know what meaning I can take away from this series. Maybe it's okay if there's no big statement made here, because the show still looked great and sounded great. If nothing else, it had a pleasantly gritty and moody atmosphere for the most part.

The end hit me hard. I was too shocked to cry. My hand flew up to my mouth in horror at that shot and I could only watch and try to process what just happened. And here I was thinking, "wow, I love twelve so much. He's too precious for this world" T_T why

Also I'm a bit confused as to why the heck Five was so intent on killing Nine... Or just getting to him... I feel their backstory wasn't explained enough for them to justify how hellbent she was on finding him only to blow herself up in the end. And can someone explain why Nine just dropped dead? I'm assuming it had to do with the experiments done on him in The Settlement.

Overall 9/10. What a stellar show.

directing 10
music 10
story 7 (plot holes and undeveloped story as well as poor writing made what could have been a fantastic story feel both unrealistic and unfinished)
characters 5 (half were good and the other half were pretty undeveloped)

So overall I'd give it a 7-8/10

Certainly not an anime one should watch when they're depressed, if it has any fault it's that, and that Five's motivations were never elaborated, but that's it.

And call it wish fulfillment but I'd rather also see America get its come-uppance like they did in GitS SAC 2nd Gig, but then this is a more realistic outcome... Plus the fact real life whistle-blowers are also hunted like animals in open season...

Ah there I go, see? Not an anime one who's already pessimistic should watch 😂

I don't know why I put this off for so long... Thoroughly enjoyed it, started and ended well but it got a bit rough in the middle. Wish Five had been developed a bit more and not made out to be so unstable - although that's probably a result of all the experimentation and apparently willing herself to stay alive so she can give Nine a kiss.

Didn't have an issue with Lisa as I've heard some have. She's pretty much a really bad day away from committing suicide when we meet her. Nine and Twelve weren't immediately welcoming at all, and even when she was staying with them she'd constantly overhear them discuss her as a hindrance/burden - which was a fact. Felt like she came out of her shell at the right time and in a natural way, no fairy tale ending for this damsel. I can only hope Shibazaki doesn't get assassinated so he can stay in her life long enough to give her support because those girls in her class are fucking monsters!

7.5/10, I would rewatch.

Really great ending if you ask me, both of them didn't have much time left, what a tragic life they lived I feel sorry for them but at least they fulfilled their wish.

I would have loved to give it 8.5/10 but there is no way I could that It sure deserves more than 8/10.

This anime could have really benefited from being longer and giving us more character development. I get that this anime is more focused on theme/political commentary but it would've helped regardless. Even a couple more episodes.

Five felt like a pointless character.

I really like the animation, besides animation and ed song everything is bad.
I've seen villains more likeable than Nine and Twelve.
It was too sci-fi for a realistic anime, put some dystopia in 20XX and make them fight against the government and now is getting good.
At least it didn't fail my expectations: "is bad and overrated".

Such an emotional episode. I was not expecting to cry my eyes out but oh well.
Lovely ending, albeit a bit nostalgic. I was looking forward to the US getting some kind of retaliation over their actions. You can't just shoot people, huh.
I was never too fond of Lisa but I guess she was vital to the story, after all she was the reason the boys got quite an emotional development.
Good show. I will remember it.
