The plot is so captivating simply because there’s so little that’s actually revealed in this first episode. We know that Nine and Twelve are terrorists of some kind based on their actions... but we know little more than that.
Zankyou no Terror also has top-notch animation. There were several times during the episode's that I had to remind myself that I wasn’t watching a live-action show but rather something animated. A lot of time and energy clearly went into animating the scenery, in particular.
On top of the amazing animation is the excellent soundtrack. The opening song is what hooked me on the series, but the ending song and the soundtrack are just as good. The soundtrack is very understated unless you’re listening for it (which I often do), but it definitely highlights the action on screen.
Zankyou no Terror has the potential to be the best anime I've seen thus far, and it’s definitely one too remember...
