ZaldiuntheGerman said: It was a good episode, but there's one thing I didn't understand: why was it so detrimental to the investigation bureau and the police department that all of their investigations into Sphinx was leaked to the public? The public was already aware of terrorist activity due to the bombings, and as far as I'm aware the investigations didn't involve anything illegal... so why was it made into such a big deal that it was public knowledge now? The plutoooonium. The fact that it was stolen from the facility was confidential information. |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| Amazing episode and the OST really shined during that motorbike scene! |
| Pretty good episode ost was great as well! |

It was very detrimental!! Because either way you look at it..people will start to lose hope in them. It always happens. Just show how more intelligent and skilled the Sphinx are. Being able to hacked into the Police network and steal all their info is very important indeed. And to make matters worst...the Plutonium incident was suppose to be a secret- highly confidential. So now the police force has their hands completely filled. They cannot afford ANY more screwups. Talk about pressure! HAHA! Totally enjoyed this ep, but I have to admit that Lisa is pissing me off...a bit..But I cant really blame her. She might the only person who knows who they really are. Poor girl....but still.... >.> |

It makes the police seems incompetent, on the scene where they were showing NicoNico steam on the laptop, after the ''information bomb'' went off, it shows the people looking down on the police in the chats scrolling pass the stream. Also the stolen plutonium will probably be leaked, which was meant to be a classified case. The sheer fear factor is also there, if these 2 guys can hack into the police's database, what else can they do? |
| Okay, I knew this was a very good anime but that episode took it to another level. Great plot. Great detective work but pity it was ruined by the other police. Some lovely scenes of Tokyo in there too. Specifically, that scene with Lisa on the bike. Breathtaking stuff. What an anime!!! |

Barion-Zara said: Another awesome ep :D Poor Shibazaki...he solved it but the police just ignored his advice <_< Damn! they just spread the secret files to the public XD Loved the scene on the Bike. Damn! Dat animation!! Also the question Lisa asked was awesome :P "Will u destroy this world?" hehe. Same here. Wish I was Lisa and feeling the breeze and the freedom, like escaping this cruel world. This anime touches human frailty in a poignant way. I just can't help, but be drawn by the characters. |

My guess, send Number Five in, she'll take care of it. :) Not really sure - but my guess, by the public's reactions, basically nothing since no-one was actually killed yet and it seems to be the themes of these terrorist attacks. Most likely the public will threat this like a game since it has no direct effect with them. We already know the lack of care, we see people laughing at the information leak at the ending scenes. Also, I wonder when Five will enter the scene, it'll be very interesting. |

Jburzy2 said: AICW said: ...They need to dump the gimmick of the fat coworker who just happens to say "the right thing at the right time" to instantly solve the riddle. That's twice now it's been used.... I've noticed a few things that irk me also in this show. 1) The entire police department reacts like crazy whenever they get the smallest bit of information. "Send police to all the shrines in the city!" 2) That generic second-in-command police officer who dislikes Shibazaki and blames him for playing their game even though he is literally the only one who has done anything good in this case. 3) Like you mentioned, the fat guy just so happens to say the right thing at the last possible moment that saves the day. It feels like a lot of these things are tropes from generic CSI shows. It makes the show feel melodramatic to an extent. I like the show and am interested to see how it turns out, but simple things like these will prevent it from being as memorable as Stand Alone Complex and other dramatic shows. i wanted to look the other way when i noticed all this but it's hard to since it's not subtle. the public's not going to react well about the government keeping the plutonium theft confidential. i guess the real "terror" will start now |
| So far it's great. Psycho pass of this season. But I hope it won't eat it tail like Psycho pass did and deliver stupid ending. If the ending will be lame, it will show most anime got just really fun ideas but can't deliver on making a masterpiece out of it. That girl's story so far is the weakest part of this show. If it don't develop in interesting way i think they should drop it, but i guess anime without cute girl character won't be made. |
| The love for this show is perplexing. I just can't seem to get into it. Clearly, a lot of thought has gone into technicality & realism but the whole affair feels very shallow to me. I'll give it one more episode before dropping. |

| Hmmmm this is amazing still. Looking forward to the next episode. I was expecting an actual explosion, but an information leak is equally as bad I guess. I don't realllllyyyyy like Lisa, but she's okay I guess. |
| Excellent, such a twist. Next twist would be breath-taking, not only for us but for Shibazaki also. Great show! That bike ride alone was worth enough to watch this episode yet we got some clever thinking from both boys. Execution is well done! |
| I loved how the "bomb" turned out to be something else entirely. Well played. The police is thoroughly humilliated by this one. The OST was brilliant as is to be expected in a Watanabe/Kanno project. Still really hoping for some more background on 9 and 12 though. |

| This show is getting better and better each episode. Too bad it's only going to be 11 eps >__<. Wish it was 24, or at least 13 |
 |
| I love how this anime relates it's story with real stuff, it's so cool, it's not random as other anime, they explain every detail of what happened which is also awesome, it makes some time since I've seen an anime with the story this detailed *-* Only the characters are a bit left in the story but that's probably to make it more mysterious, it makes the story even more interesting, I'm sure they'll show the past of the character as well what was happening in Lisa's life before the terrorists appeared. DoctorWasabi said: This show is getting better and better each episode. Too bad it's only going to be 11 eps >__<. Wish it was 24, or at least 13 I agree, it's a shame for this anime since it is really awesome :c But since this isn't an adaptation from manga (which is incredible, there aren't many good animes that aren't adapted from manga out there) it will show the entire story, so we don't need to worry about next seasons. btw he's hacking with a MAC? Genius. Awesome episode, I even think it was better than Tokyo Ghoul's episode. |
| Nice episode. And I guessed the answer before Shibazaki, I feel like a genius. |
| He's going to get them killed if he doesnt sacrifice his queen. |
| Am I the only one who thought "Well, that was an awesome reference to Wong Kar-Wais's Fallen Angels!" during the motorbike sequence? |
| [/size] |
| That motorcycle scene -- it was like watching a Smiths song play out in anime form. A couple of misunderstood teens trying find their place, talking about destroying the world, all while running from the cops on a motorcycle. It's like I'm 16 again. The show continues to be technically perfect, and the cat and mouse game has finally begun to show some more intricate dynamics. I'm also starting to like our cast a lot more, particularly our main trio. Once they started interacting again things started to come to life. I was really worried there for a bit. Hopefully now that they're all together this will keep up and we'll get some more interesting character development If the show keeps getting better every episode like it has been, we'll have a real classic on our hands. I just hope the writers know what they're doing and actually tie things up satisfactorily. We'll just have to see: crossing my fingers here. |

| Not bad episode. I really didn't expect that bomb will blow up everything, cops included. Well, but OST is really great there. The ending song is fcking epic. Don't like OP much, but art is amazing. |

| OMG this is the best ep yet! I have to say that this and Tokyo Ghoul are my #1 favorites of this summer. I was waiting for this moment when 12 finally brings Lisa with him to their hide out. The end is just driving me crazy!!! I can't wait to find out what happens next. |
| Well what a bomb |
| Fell in love with Twelve this episode. I fell head over heels in love with him. I'm usually for guys like Nine, but the way Twelve disobeyed Nine's unspoken orders, and saved Lisa...it took my breath away. Gosh, I love him so much. What Twelve did this episode really helped me to personalize the villains, and I'm thankful for that. It gave a breath of fresh air to the show. Also, he's just such a freaking beast on that motorcycle. So sexy. To be honest, I don't like the kind of "all-knowing" position the show has given Shibazaki right now. He's never wrong, he always gets some kind of inspiration from the fat man beside him...I hope that trend breaks next episode. Just too much plot armor, it's becoming annoyingly unbelievable. Seems like since Lisa fainted, they're gonna have to take her in. I was hoping for this development...I love how the show handled it though, through Twelve's weakness. Really believable, and really human, so to speak. Can't wait for next week! bigzzcobzz said: btw he's hacking with a MAC? Genius. I lol'd. :P |

| Interesting episode to say the least, and the if the ost keeps getting better like this I might just descend into Yoko Kanno madness. Good execution of suspense and plot twist. Great to see a new side to Lisa as well. |
 I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND. |
| Awesome OST. Looks like Shibazaki is getting close in catching them. I wonder what'll happen to Lisa. |

| The OST in this episode was beyond amazing! Especially during that motorcycle scene! Shibazaki managed to solve the Sphinx's riddle once more! But too bad the police cheated and went to that place. Thus free confidential information for everyone! Ah Lisa faints. Hopefully a background story comes in soon. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| The bike scene with the music is just PERF <3 |

| That motorcycle scene with Lisa and Nine was one of the most emotional scenes in TV anime I've seen in a while. Very well done accompanied by yet another beautifully composed Yoko Kanno song. Don't like to say this only a third of the way in, but this is by far the best anime of this season, IMO at least. |

yodsanklai said: Zankyou no Terror Episode 4 - Cinematography That's sweet! The cinematography and shots in this episode is so amazing it reminds me on Satoshi Kon's directing style!! (aaahh i sooo missed him....) And oh my god that soundtrack, i got a shiver when that motorbike scene started and that song playing in the background... so emotional :') |
| This show highkey a classic |
| I enjoyed watching this episode. It wasn't as eventful as the others but it had that little spark of character development and I just loved it. Also, I really hope Lisa'll get better with the confidence and all. As for now, well, at least she's happy. Plus, I got to hear waltz, my favorite ost ;w; |
