I personally don't like using numbers to describe shows as you can never really quantify subjective opinions. Rating this as a 3 is probably seemingly harsh to some people, but to say this show is anything greater than "poor" is a massive overestimate.

I'm the type of person who hates dropping shows, so when I do they have to be absolutely horrendous. I would have dropped this show as well, but the last few episodes were so boring that I was half-asleep, making Zankyou no Terror somewhat bearable. However, this show was still ass from beginning to end.

Art/Sound:

It's good. The visuals are obviously stunning, and two tracks in particular, (Ill refer to them as "Ferris Wheel" and "helicopter" ) hit me hard. Literally the only memorable (good) parts in the entire show. However, even in these scenes with these amazing visuals/music/supposedly heart-wrenching events, I could care less about what was actually happening.

Story/Characters

As generic as it gets. Two kids decide to go blow up public buildings because they are literally autistic. But of course, they don't kill people. Just ruin their livelihood, but i'm still supposed to like them. I'm fine with morally gray or villainous main characters, but I found that the show seemed to idolize them way too much.
If the story was a metaphor, it would be a gigantic hand jacking of these two main terrorists. The show makes it very clear that these kids are the most intelligent, cunning, and badass motherfuckers around, and thus has to remind you this every five minutes. Every episode involves these kids making some dumb riddle about the most random shit and then i'm supposed to think of these people as geniuses because they knew what Ramses II ate for breakfast in 150 BC. There is a difference between knowledge and general intelligence. Knowing random facts does not make you a fucking genius Zankyou no terror!

The rest of the story/characterization was just boring. Nothing really to say honestly. Cliche motivations like "love" and "Make Japan Great Again". Bombs defused at the last second. Typical stuff and insufferably tedious.

So yeah, save yourself some time and watch something else.
