Hey there everyone,this might be wrong but is there anyone else who feels satisfied to see twelve dead.i know It's wrong but i just felt so happy to see a betrayer having that kinda end result.the show is overall great but i really hate the way people do the thing like twelve did,It's absolutely disgusting and the way they show at the end like it was nothing is also the bad thing about the show
Love to hear your opinion about this.thanks
9 accuses 5 of cheating and then...

You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "a"rata "k"okonoe is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Tōji ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all!
I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, 5 is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die !

I just finish watching this masterpiece and I really really love it. Im kinda happy when >!that atomic bomb exploded and no one got injured !< and really sad after that when >!9 and 12 was dead.!< The ending leaves me with a lot of emotions. So I created this post just to give this anime a big compliment and that's all
I just finished it and damn, was it dark. I feel bad for the kids, giving themselves up at a young age just to exposea dirty deed of the government. But I haven't been able to understand, like, what was killing them? What made Five weak? Why did Nine have ringing in his ears? And wtf were the people behind the Athena programme thinking? Also, why the bombings? Like, they could have got attention (which they did) with just 1-2 bombings. Why did they go as far as stealing and blowing up an atom bomb? Answers appreciated.
Just finished the show. It was pretty good, but imo the weakest of Watanabe's original anime.
I just have one question about the ending though: Why did the American government kill Twelve but leave Shibazaki alive?
More details: We see the American government official in charge say that they had to kill anyone who was aware of America's involvement in the actions that Five took in Japan (like the airport incident) and that the detective should be left alive so he could push the heat onto the Japanese government.
But wasn't Shibazaki aware of the American government's involvement too?? He knew that Five let the bomb go off on the train, impersonated Sphinx and planted a bomb in the airport, and he directly defied her orders, the latter leading to his indefinite suspension. He was the one who broke the entire story to the world, yet at the end of the show we only hear about the remaining members of the Athena Project being sentenced and media across the world scrutinizing the Japanese government, while the American government seemingly got off scott free.
Why did the Americans even bother attacking Nine and Twelve? Those two had no beef with the Americans other than Five, and if they had ever mentioned her impersonation of them and her planting the bomb then the American government could easily claim that she was a rogue agent (especially since they were planning on killing her for insubordination anyways).
So, why did the Americans want to leave a detective who clearly knew about their involvement behind?
I had recently finished it, I was wondering is there any extra material e.g manga or light novel or ova's, which I can read or watch; if there are, are they different from the anime.
Thank you in advance
I just finished watching Zankyou no Terror and I’m more than disappointed about the ending.
To me, it felt cheap that they just killed off Twelve and Nine at the end. It made no sense to my friend and I and we are just wondering if there’s something we are missing since everyone else seems heartbroken over it.
Why did Nine just drop dead then so conveniently? There was no explanation for that. We knew him and Twelve were going to both die eventually but there were little to no hints that he was that far gone already. And it seemed a little too convenient that he died RIGHT after Twelve was shot.
And then it felt like they shot Twelve just for a shock factor. I don’t understand it. I teared up a little initially but was then just confused.
I understand the themes are sad and interesting but to me this was a cheap and rushed ending and I can’t even pretend to be sad about it.
SME copyright blocked all of the OST previously on YouTube, does anyone have an alternative good, high quality source for them?
In episode 3, when Shibuzaki first talks about growing up as a child in Hiroshima and theres the flashback. Theres a song playing in the background which is just a guitar as far as I can tell.
I've looked through all the OST and couldn't find it anywhere - is it just an unreleased piece of background music?
EDIT:
I found the track, it’s just called Shibuzakis past and it is indeed unreleased! Not sure where this person found it: https://youtu.be/56UDa2NGY4g
Ok.so i finished terror in resonance yesterday. And I couldn't understand the ending part. What was with the bomb in nuclear plant which 9 was talking about and why was the US worried about it blowing up? And how did 9&12 saved Japan from US
i just rewatched the anime and guess whos crying at 4am ?
also if anyone wants to just chat about the ending id love to :D
The ending was pretty obvious from the beginning i knew that they both will die at some point and im sure anyone who watched it knew as well, i think shinichiro himself made it obvious like he didnt focus on anything but the message he tried to deliver and that just proved one thing that is the world is cruel but humans are crueler.
We learned that Shunzuo Mamiya was the politician who got Shibazaki demoted to the archives - but was Mamiya the secretary who "killed" himself, or was he the leader of the political faction that Shibazaki investigated? Some articles online are saying that he faked his death, so I'm confused as to who Mamiya actually is. Please help!
