Story 10 / 10
One word. Extraordinary. Normally, terrorism would be a very difficult theme to tackle in any anime. Maintaining the level of interest of the audience would be a difficult because the theme requires seriousness most of the times, if not, through out the series. Zankyou no Terror succeeded in doing so. The addition of a little romance to the story also had a positive impact to the story.
The riddles mentioned in the anime were also superb. I found myself trying to solve the riddles (and even looking it up online, too!) sometimes. Plus, no "power of feelings / friendship" was involved which is great (because that is quite common to some anime hehe)
Art 10 / 10
The art is very realistic and dark. It suits the theme of the series. I especially liked the the way night time is depicted in the city because the lights, the sceneries are gorgeous!
Sound 10 / 10
What can I say? The OST's always got my attention. There was never a time that I skipped the OP's and ED. Even the sounds of the explosions, the screams of people, everything, seemed so real.
Character 9 / 10
Nine and Twelve's mysteriousness and intellectual brilliance is hard to ignore. Despite these similarities in characteristics, they both have different personalities, which I personally liked. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that the Shibazaki is a too-perfect-detective. He knew everything. He solved every riddle. It was too unrealistic.
Enjoyment 9 / 10
This is one of those anime that you look forward to watching every week. I rated 10 out of 10 because would I keep on watching it if I didn't enjoy it? The story is very intriguing and unpredictable and you just want to know what happens next. I gave it 9 out of 10 tho because there are times when I feel like an episode is giving too much spotlight to the police.
Overall 9 / 10
The fact that this anime made me write a review is just a proof of how amazing this series is. Hehe joking aside, I've never seen anime as good and intriguing as this in quite a long time. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
