Nine and Twelve present the viewer with riddles, and this is the type of entertainment one gets for the majority of the series. This bizarre usage of social media to let the world, and the viewer, in on their plans sets up an episodic structure that lasts about half the series. If one wants to watch TIR, be prepared for a somewhat repetitive array of puzzles for five episodes. However, instead of just letting them explode and laughing away maniacally like any normal terrorist, these boys “Sphinx” decide to publicly display their troubles via Youtube. TIR is about two teenagers who set bombs up around Tokyo. Everything about Terror in Resonance ( TIR) was solid, but there were a few areas where it lacked a wow factor. But how well does it fare? The short answer is: it is worth it, although it won’t change your life. It has Shinichiro Watanabe ( Cowboy Bebop, Space Dandy) involved, so it is clearly on a level of quality above all the silly generic, run-of-the-mill shows. The anime fans who have not caught onto the overwhelming array of streaming websites or have been busy with life, may be wondering if it deserves all the fuss. It has been the original work of the season – if you look past Sword Art Online II, Free! Eternal Summer and Sailor Moon hype. Terror in Resonance, known as its less exciting, literal title Terror in Tokyo ( Zankyo no Terror) in Japan, finished airing a few days ago at a tiny 11 episode count. And in so doing, the nation is redeemed.Terror in Resonance (2014) Review: A Melody that Ends with a Poignant Crescendo

Lisa abets and survives the implementation of Sphinx’s plan and with the help of Shibazaki (the historian), will remember that Nine, Twelve and the other children of The Settlement lived. Perhaps Twelve is the traveler (he does ride a motorbike) and Nine is the messenger (he is raven-haired). Perhaps Lisa is the unsuspected hero(ine) in the mountain of ZNT. The iconic image can also denote “the redemption of a nation.” In the story, the hero-god asks, “Do the ravens still circle the mountain?” When the traveler answers, “Yes,” the hero-god replies, “Then it is not yet my time.” The traveler is chased away and eventually dies after revealing the king’s secret.Ĭoincidence? I think not. The specific myth to which the line alludes is the “King in the Mountain,” in which a hero-god dwells in a remote place, unsuspected, until a traveler stumbles upon him. One sees the ZNT parallel even though the reference is brief and obscure except to those who know mythic symbolism, similar to what Det. Even the gods are not immune and often pay for what they gain with a corresponding loss.

The song continues with the metaphor, "S he sweetly slumbers in the depths of the mountain hall.” This is a clear allusion to Nordic mythology wherein everything is in flux, similar to Yin and Yang. Death (the ultimate deep sleep) is always imminent, but the promise of something better (the lava will be warm) is deemed worth the risk. The word “dvala” means “hibernate.” Lisa, as a character, is the viewer/sleeper, hijacked into the mission of Sphinx, but later a willing accomplice. In Iceland, the imagery of frozen waterfalls, cold skies and volcanic mountains is fitting. With Twelve, the girl feels alive again and so, despite her fears, stays with him and comes to assist Sphinx. Lisa dislikes herself and lives in a loveless home. The boy’s world begins to change as he experiences first love and his singular loyalty to Nine is threatened. Winter and Spring unite - Lisa meets Twelve. I’ve seen literal translations, but songs, like poetry, are rarely literal in meaning. '' Í heimi verður hlý.Īs background music during the Ferris Wheel scene, the song speaks to Twelve’s inner conflict between his love for Lisa and his loyalty to Nine. Hún sest í ljúfan dvala í djú pi fjallasal. She sweetly slumbers in the depths of the mountain hall. Hún lýsir allt sem er, allt sem er og var og verður. She illuminates everything there is, and was and will be. Meðan allt sækir fram, streymir fram verður til. Allt sem græðir geymir von.įrom a frozen waterfall she emerges of a cold sky slowly moving forward. (Winter…summer…coalesce) /repeats throughout/
