Terror in Resonance

AnimeList wrote:

In an alternate version of the present, Tokyo has been decimated by a shocking terrorist attack, and the only hint to the identity of the culprit is a bizarre video uploaded to the internet. The police, baffled by this cryptic clue, are powerless to stop the paranoia spreading across the population.

While the world searches for a criminal mastermind to blame for this tragedy, two mysterious children—children who shouldn't even exist—masterfully carry out their heinous plan. Cursed to walk through this world with the names Nine and Twelve, the two combine to form "Sphinx," a clandestine entity determine to wake the people from their slumber—and pull the trigger on this world.

OP


overall i like the show although it does get crazier over time. they also try and do lines in english which is absolutely hilarious every time. although i noticed that the subtitle translations for those lines use the "childish" (rather than the more complex adult one) japanese alphabet which seems a little harsh

the show is available on hulu (or huluplus if you happen to have convinced your parents that they should get huluplus) and also probably through torrent

ep11:

I started dis.
looks interesting and a lil pretentious

Damn seren you got pretty harsh

i liked it. I thought it was pretty obvious where they were headed from the start, but i enjoyed the ride never the less

ep11:

I give it a 7 out of 10

Heres what i said in another thread about it, just to keep everything consolidated

Terror in Resonance (Zankyō no Terror) is interesting, a bit pretentious but not bad, i do want to see what those 2 are planning/why they are doing it so ill keep watching, might make a full topic about it at some point

I also want to add that the animation is amazing, some scenes look almost real and the attention to detail to the environment is great

Yeah the english is pretty funny at times

This is an offtopic tangent but:

They used a combination of syllabaries in those subtitles not just the simple one
In the same sentence i saw the katakana エ, the hirigana す, and the # looking kanji that i cant find because theres like 2000 kanji symbols, most sentences had combinations like that
I recognize those cause エ looks like I, す is what i call swirly T, and the # looking symbol is # looking, so they are just easily recognizable to me at a glance even if i dont know what they mean in english

Katakana is for writing foreign words phonetically
Hiragana is for writing japanese words (kanji) phonetically
Kanji represents ideas and can be pronounced in different ways

I think they use hiragana when katakana is involved since it flows better with katakana than kanji does, and katakana will be used somewhere since they are subtitling english here
So they use the simple syllabary because they use katakana in places where they have to because of english words and that throws off the flow of the sentence so they use hirigana to fix it in certain spots, and they use kanji whenever katakana doesnt screw up the sentence structure

I have no idea why they made their written language so complicated, i guess because its been around for so long and has had to change a bunch as time went on
Ive tried to learn to read japanese (while i was trying to learn how to speak it) but gave up because its ridiculously hard, kanji hurts my brain and gives me eye strain, and hirigana is easy but youd have to know how to speak japanese first, i didnt go into katakana because everyone says to ignore it until later but its probably as easy as hirigana is
Kanji is the reason i gave up on reading and speaking japanese, it was so overwhelming that it killed my interest in learning the language



Anyway, back on topic:

I like the series overall, i think you were way too harsh on it seren

Spoiler:

made me lol
