She seems like the one in the series that you are supposed to hate. She proves to be quite the obstacle for them to overcome. But someone from their past that shows up just when you think everything is going to go their way. The last piece of the Terror in Resonance puzzle is the childhood friend. He really makes you think that if he can solve the case first, then his life will go back to normal and everything will work out. I always want this generic character to win. We also have the stereotypical down on his luck Detective. And that was a nice touch, because I really didn’t want them to be the bad guys. But she does a good job of proving the main characters are real people and not heartless terrorists. Every series has that character in it, and every time it annoys me. All she does is mess everything up and cause me stress as I’m hoping their plans will go perfectly. But they really keep the suspense going for the short 11 episode run.Įarly on we meet a character who I found really annoying. Usually the writers spend a lot of time building the backstory, which is great for a longer series. It’s a great way to keep you involved and guessing. I really like how for the most part you only learn about the main characters as the police do. But from the short flashback clips and their personalities, you get a feel for why they are seeking revenge on the government. We don’t learn all about their past until the later episodes.
Obviously, shortly after the main intro action we do need to start learning a little about the characters. What you do need to know is that they mean business. You don’t need to know who the main characters are right away. Which is the perfect start to how the series will continue. Though they try hard, they are usually outclassed by super-criminals or criminal organizations in anime, requiring the help of special units or some lone hero., tragedy Tragedy is a form of drama characterized by seriousness and dignity, usually involving a conflict between a character and some higher power, such as the law, the gods, fate, or society.

And others calm you down just enough… for you to be dragged out of your trance when the show pulls a 180 in terms of drama.
Some continuously ring in your ears and make you tremble in fear. Without them, the recipe would just be incomplete, no matter how good some of the writing was at building up suspense. Seriously, the art and soundtrack are what make this show what it is. In its lows, you can still feel the heavy weight of the suspense and drama, thanks to the aforementioned amazing artwork and powerful soundtrack. In its highs, you’re completely glued to your screen, as if begging it to tell you what’s going to happen next. When it comes to keeping audiences on the edges of their seats, this show is one of the best at it. It’s a beautiful mix of calming vocals and instrumentals, and then you have the soundtracks that rile your blood and send a chill down your spine.
