Zankyou no Terror is tragic. You can TELL what they were trying to do, it just… didn't work. I think it failed the same way Death Note did: it kept trying to 1-up itself until it went to far. In fact, it has a lot it common with Death Note - from the genre, to the overall story (government vs. criminal), to the fact that we're rooting for the for the ones doing the most harm.
Five was somewhat pointless. It got to the point where it felt like she was only there to be filler, which is bad for a 12

episode anime.
I even have issues with Lisa. They kept saying she served no purpose - she even admitted it herself - but she never truly finds one. It would have been much better if she had admitted it, then found a purpose within the trio. But she never truly finds one.
Zankyou no Terror had a lot of potential. But there are so many flaws that it falls on it’s face. Which is tragic, because the first few episodes are astounding and the soundtrack is flawless.
I would recommend skipping this anime and watching Death Note instead. It did what Zankyou no Terror was trying to do - give you a suspense-filled psychotic thriller that leaves you guessing at every turn.
