****MAY CONTAIN SLIGHT SPOILERS***

I really loved this show. After watching Code Geass and Death Note, I wanted to find an anime that had a similar feel and plot. I must say, I hit the jackpot.

Story: 8
Basically, Nine and Twelve are "terrorists" who don't kill people. Sure, they destroy buildings, but their intentions lie somewhere else. And that's what the detectives must find out! (Sound familiar? Yep, I thought Death Note too)
To be honest, I thought Zankyou no Terror would disappoint me when I saw the recommendation for Death Note. Thankfully, I was proven to be wrong. ZnT didn't have too much going on, but the plot was just laid out very nicely, and I enjoyed watching it unfold. The mysteries all unraveled with each new episode.

Art: 10
The art was amazing. NO FANSERVICE!!! YAYYY!!! I like Death Note type art, and I think ZnT is very similar. I'm not really a detail person, so it was great for me. Loved the character designs. The settings and backgrounds were well done!

Sound: 10
Probably the best part of the show. The music was fantastic. I couldn't bring myself to fast forward the opening and ending in every episode. One of the best OSTs I've ever heard. Awesome, awesome!

Character:
I enjoyed Nine and Twelve. And, though many have been commenting on the lack of character development, I saw some subtle development in both. The other characters like Lisa and Five didn't draw me in as much. However, I must say that I believe Lisa was made static in order to develop another character, which actually turned out very well! I thought from the first two episodes that the story would give some more background on Lisa, but it didn't. Nonetheless, I ended up liking her. Though I'm thinking I liked her because of Twelve. Five was a bit of a nuisance, but she is somewhat an antagonist after all.

Enjoyment:
I greatly enjoyed this anime. I'm surprised it didn't gain as much popularity as it should have.

Amazing anime. Glad I watched it (and will definitely watch it again!)

9/10
