Wow, Just wow, I don't even know where to begin, I have just finished this series and I had to write a review straight afterwards because of the shock I am in. This series really hits you at the end, or in my opinion it did to me.
So What is Terror in Resonance, well it's about two boys that are called Sphinx, and you follow these boys through their terror acts, which at first is a big mystery of why they are doing this, however they find a girl, Lisa and she somehow gets involved in all this. I found the story quite strange at first, and was also a little confused about it. I thought it was just going to be about terrorists wanting their own way, oh how wrong was I?
The story in my opinion was quite slow at first and made you ask why you was watching this series, however the more you watched the more I felt like I wanted to know why these kids were doing what they were doing. It never really gives you any key ideas of what happened to these two lads, but gives flashes which helps to keep you engaged into knowing the mystery of these two Protagonists. It also keeps you wondering what Lisa has to do with the plot and what will happen to her, she has no place to call her own and these two lads take her in even though what they do is wrong.
The art was really good to me, I liked how they did the characters and the way they designed the scenes. A lot of scenes were colourful and was shown to be quite bright even amongst all that was happening. the sound was really good as well, I found that a lot of instrumental music went well with the clips and my favourite had to be at the end of the series, which really made me feel.
Character development was well hidden at first with the two boy protagonists, they were portrayed as the bad guys and it only gave you clips of who they were. It didn't give much story on these two at all until the series progressed and more of what happened to them comes to light, however you still don't know the real truth until near the end of the series were it all gets pieced together. The girl protagonist was developed a lot quicker in order to piece her together with the two boy protagonists. She was well thought of in order to make her be with the two lads and why her role was important to them in the story.
I personally didn't enjoy this at first but as the story progressed I wanted to know what had happened with these two boys and what the girls role in all of this was. I was glad that I finished this series and to me it was really well in the end. It actually gave me really bad feels in the end and I actually stopped what I was doing to watch the ending. It was a shock to me what happened however in my opinion the ending of this series was one of it's strong points and made me like it a lot. I didn't actually knew the ending was coming and when it did I really felt it.
If your into slow starting anime and want one with a nice mysterious element to the characters I would suggest you give this a try. At first it could be boring but as the story progresses it does pick up and it will keep you on edge of wanting to know these characters. To me this is one of my favourites now.
