Japan probably got rid of all the evidence regarding the Athena project after it failed, and Dr. Mamiya had enough authority in the government as the "monster of Japan's political center" to make sure there were no loose ends. He didn't kill the scientists or anyone else involved unless they tried to report it to the authorities, hence why Aoki said that he was putting his life on the line by telling Shibazaki everything about the Athen plan. In short, Nine could hack into the police database, but would probably find no answers. All the answers lied only within the people involved. |
| Well, the series was ok, and only ok. The beginning was very good and the final episode was really good. But, at some parts of the story, it has a lazy storytelling. I put 7 of 10 to this anime. |
| The show were a lot better when 5 isn't around :) |

| OK i wasnt expecting to love episode 11 so much, like i thought it was downright breathtaking, I love how they made every plotpoings come full circle as well as seriously catching me off guard in so many ways, I think the series has mroe than redeemed the whole 5 situation and now im not entirely sure if i want to give it a 8 or a 9 to be entirely honest with you, finales are very important to me and can make up for a plethora of shortcomings if the pay off is good and i thought zankyou's was more than worth it, i was glued to my screen the whole time for these last 3 episodes, the way i see it is this, the 1st act was incredible, the 2nd act falters and merely settles for being just good but also gave the series a focus and progressed the plot to the 3rd act which i found to be captivating So yeah, so either a high 8 or a low 9, ill decide by tommorrow, but god damn that ending was beautiful and the symbolism/foreshadowing up to it was just phenomenal, anyhow sorry for spamming your page like this, just for the record since i kind of buried it, i did ask 2 questions 3 comments ago. Let me just reiterate this again,t hat ending was beautiful |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
skudoops said: The logic behind the US guy shooting 12 made no sense to me. He said don't kill the detective but he knows about everything, why would he blame the japanese government alone? LOL He's legit seeing you guys right now to! He was part of the airport and highway incidents so how is he not a threat?.. I can't even with the logic of this show sometimes. I feel like the US's actions didn't make sense, if they were trying to initiate a cover-up I'd figure that they'd shoot everyone there...and shoot Nine first since he had the detonator. And even then it'd be far from a perfect "solution". I dunno. I guess the writers just had them shoot Twelve first for the emotional impact and shock value, and to open for the dialogue between Nine and Shibazaki. But in general I thought this was a good ending, had tears in my eyes. Random but I wonder if Nine's ipod still worked or if he was just pretending to listen to music. Had issues with the aforementioned helicopter scene and the way 5's character and storyline were handled but I still think this is one of the best original anime to come out in recent years so giving it 9/10. |

| I really like a show that touches base with modern politics, considering that there is a movement, albeit a small one, for Japan to re-militarize and become a military power again. I can appreciate that, but that alone won't make me jump on the train to adore the show though. From what i saw, 5's only real purpose in the show was literally to extend the show to meet a seasonal episode requirement, i really cannot see any other reason for her character other than to give enough material to make it a tv season. I really didn't like how Lisa's character wasn't meaningful enough to legitimize her existance...her only value to the show was through her support of 12's character, but she doesn't even have enough support to grow her own character which begs the question of why bother creating a character when you can use a device other than a character to do the same thing and it makes far more sense while overall adding more appeal. In the end, i think i like the concept of the show more than the show itself, however it's still one of the better original shows to come out in some time now. For this, i'll give it an 8/10 |

| This anime si good story until the last episode, make reality about America, when until now always interfere other country business or problem. Cause that until now, i hate america government, i hope Japan can free some time. at last i look 2 sad ending in this season season.... |
| Just one question: was electricity still off in Japan after 1 year and so long? 8/10 for this show. |
| Let justice be done, though the heavens fall. |
| This anime wasnt perfect but it sure was enjoyable. Every episode left me hanging for more. Each character -- except for Lisa who made it so effing hard for everyone else..dumb Bxxxx-- was just so beautifully constructed and the plot twist and emotions and mysteriousness just made it so amazing. The ending really was a shocker but in all fairness, i reckon it was the best way to end the anime.. |
 |
| Even if the last episodes were better than the ones before, this anime series was quite mediocre anyway. To summarize what I've written HERE, Zankyou no Terror's weak points are: - Too many plot holes - Repetitive episodes - Terrible character development Too bad, because music, direction and graphics were very good. |

In addition, for what purpose did the Americans shoot Twelve if they knew he was going to die soon enough? I say "if they knew" because it's assumed they know about the children's lifespan since they had one of them in their side. |

I say "if they knew" because it's assumed they know about the children's lifespan since they had one of them in their side. Because they don't know Twelve's story. He could die eventually, but that "eventually" may not come for many years. It is implied in this show that each of these children survive solely based on their motivation to live: Five wanted to "beat" Nine in a game, Nine wanted to expose the RPA and Dr. Mamiya, and Twelve wanted to make friends or meet people that would accept him for who he is. As long as Twelve has Lisa, he can live for who knows how long, because Lisa can be Twelve's motivation to live. In any case, they shot him to make sure he doesn't reveal any firsthand witness reports of what the FBI did in this whole mess. Sure Shibazaki was a firsthand witness to some of the things the FBI did, but he didn't have enough evidence and not enough authority to challenge the FBI. If there was a firsthand witness, however, America would be at risk for having to recompense the damages and worsening their reputation as a nation. |
| This anime isn't perfect but it sure was fantastic, I enjoy every episode of this anime. I love the music and the graphics, but the history and the characters could be more developed, it still a good anime, not a masterpiece, but a good anime xP |
| That...was retarded. There is no other word for it. Fuck this ridiculous mess of a show. At least those fuckers got what they deserved. Even though all they did was slightly inconvenience people... (seriously wtf?) Now how to rate this? It was kinda entertaining but so unbelievably stupid. 6/10 I guess. Jesus... |
| Probably the best "with balls and no fear to show how it is" anime since Psycho Pass. All that was needed to be said was there, hard hitting and in your face, with great message at the end, and beautiful reality about the country that acts as "world police" today in our time. Mad respect to Watanabe Shinichiro and his team behind this masterpiece, there's not much directors who dare to do something like this in a show. |
 |
| Very good thriller but lack of characters background, like how the hell they lived outside of orphanage (financially, shelter etc) after they escaped. Also I wanna know more about the three inside that orphanage. |
| Thanks Obama. |
| The ending is really good and unpredictable, even though it does feel like watching some anti-american propaganda. I did not like nine or 12 but I felt sad seeing them killed this way. |
| Really? Really?! That's how this whole plot ends? .... Okay then. |
 |
| Okay, everybody, I did not get a thing. Probably I was watching too inattentively but nevertheless. What was the whole point of terrorism? Just to get attention to experiments and bad politicians? |
Edaniel said: Yep, that's exactly it.Just to get attention to experiments and bad politicians? |

| This show definitely had the potential to be a top anime if Five was just someone who they couldn't save long ago and it haunted them, if the story was more focused on Shibazaki vs Sphinx, and if it was fleshed out to be 22+ episodes. That being said, I really appreciate how deep this series is. Although I don't believe Five was a necessary character and believe that the character development was lacking, I really enjoyed the series for what it was as a whole. Wonderful scenes and brilliant symbolism throughout. I admire great writing. 8.5/10 |
| I totally just realized. ZnT is V For Vendetta in Japan... |
 |
| There wasn't really much to the anime as I was hoping. I did thoroughly enjoy it, though, and like many of you have said this anime is beautiful. |
| HEY! |
| Aww.... it's finished T_T The soundtrack was beautiful, especially the minimalistic piano pieces :) The final scenes made it feel like I was watching a film. It was that good! Hoping for more animes like these to come out in the future. Until then, I shall patiently wait |
 |
| Wow... the bomb actually blew up. Sucks Nine and Twelve died, but they were goners anyways... Excellent anime. 8/10 |
  |
VanishingKira said: "Remember us...remember...that we lived." And ... it's finished.. The ending was so emotional ;_; And the OST made it even more emotional. It was so well made, put in the right spot (excepting the OP that I really hate!! Maybe is just me..). The characters are amazing, same goes for the art and setting. Love it! ^^ |
 |
| Just wow. VON <3 |
| Great ending to me but sad both guys have to die, that is one magnificent series down :D |
 |
| Finally finished. Boy was it one hell of a trainwreck. I smelled it right from the beginning. Anyway, no point to repeat my old and tired arguments about shows quality. Overall score 3/10. |
| Goddamn it. That was the dopest. |
 |
| omg... I got so sad when Twelve was shot. Like srsly. The kid was smiling 10min ago and then BAM DEAD I usually dislike characters like Lisa, but she was different imo. Since she left her house, I took it as she having some guts to do something. Also, she did left Nine and Twelve when she thought she was nothing but trouble to them, BUT she wasn't dealing with normal people and got caught again. Anyway... Five was the downhill of this show. I really dislike her and she add nothing, but some cliché shit to ZnT. Too bad it started great, but... :( Wtv. I'll give it a good rating cuz I love Twelve and I want him to rest in peace. |
 |
| I'm very disappointed with how this anime turned out. The first 5 episodes were very promising but then Five showed up and everything went downhill. Also Lisa was not needed. She never did anything. I don't even know what to say about this ending. Still enjoyed watching the show but it could and should have been so much more. |
 |
| 12 :( |
 |
| Quite tragic ending Good story. 7/10 |
 |
| The ending was rather nice. It settled the entire story with a great conclusion. Unfortunately, the anime didn't give Five or Lisa enough growth to become great characters. |
SanaeSnake said: The ending was rather nice. It settled the entire story with a great conclusion. Unfortunately, the anime didn't give Five or Lisa enough growth to become great characters. This. The main flaw with the show, IMO. I think five shouldn't have been in here at all, and just have it focus on 9,12 and Lisa. Watching them have mind battles with 5 was not as interesting as watching them terrorize people, and yet not hurt anyone, and it slowed their progression. |
| I didn't come here to play, I came to win. Now lets play. |
| The only thing i didn't understand in this episode is why 9 died... |
