Youthful disaffection leading to rebellion leading to…revolution? Lots of playing around with this general motif. Antipathy towards the sins of the past and the shadows cast into the present. A new generation’s rejection of (and by) society.
Themes: The power of symbols, which ties directly back into the theme of terrorism. Also beware of horrible, horrible Engrish. Tokyo has been decimated by a terrorist attack, and the only clue to the culprit's identity is a bizarre internet video. Title Directed by Written by Original air date 1 'Falling' Yuzuru Tachikawa: Shten Yano: J(): In Aomori, Japan, plutonium is stolen from a nuclear fuel reprocessing facility and one of the young perpetrators sprays the letters 'VON' at the scene in red paint. Things pick back up towards the end, but a lot of time is wasted that could have been better spent on developing the characters and themes. Zankyou No Terror: With Kaito Ishikawa, Sma Sait, Atsumi Tanezaki, Shunsuke Sakuya. Saiki Kusuo no Sai Nan or The Disastrous Saiki K Subbed and Dubbed Videos are Added in Cartoonsarea. Caveats: The second act is not quite as strong as the first, failing to capitalise on much of what made the opening episodes so interesting and introducing a rather cartoonish villain. If I had to sum up the show so far in one word, it would be “Intelligent”. The soundtrack is thoroughly modern and the show contains one or two pieces of animation that are going to go down as a new high watermark. It’s an intellectual thriller with a wealth of symbolism to be found with even a surface reading, from the legend of Oedipus to the use of light and dark to other, less obvious allusions. The characters are complex and the premise is very interesting. It provides a human face without trivialising the horror of what they’re actually doing. ZANKYOU NO TERROR WATCH SERIAL
