Painted in red, the word "VON" is all that is left behind after a terrorist attack on a nuclear facility in Japan. The government is shattered by their inability to act, and the police are left frantically searching for ways to crack down the perpetrators. The public are clueless—until, six months later, a strange video makes its way onto the internet. In it, two teenage boys who identify themselves only as "Sphinx" directly challenge the police, threatening to cause destruction and mayhem across Tokyo. Unable to stop the mass panic quickly spreading through the city and desperate for any leads in their investigation, the police struggle to act effectively against these terrorists, with Detective Kenjirou Shibazaki caught in the middle of it all.
Zankyou no Terror tells the story of Nine and Twelve, the two boys behind the masked figures of Sphinx. They should not exist, yet they stand strong in a world of deception and secrets while they make the city fall around them, all in the hopes of burying their own tragic truth.

Where it came from
Terror in Resonance, released in 2014, was an original anime project produced by the studio MAPPA and directed by Shinichirō Watanabe. Created as a psychological thriller, the series follows two teenage boys who orchestrate elaborate terrorist attacks across Tokyo in a bid to expose the truth about a clandestine government experiment. Watanabe sought to contrast the stillness of the urban landscape with the chaotic intensity of his protagonists' actions, utilizing a narrative style that emphasizes existential dread and political disillusionment.
The series is noted for its high-quality production design and a haunting, atmospheric score composed by Yoko Kanno. Its visual language, characterized by a muted color palette and sharp, modernist architectural shots, was intended to evoke a sense of detachment and melancholy. While it received significant critical praise for its aesthetic ambition and musical direction, it was met with mixed reactions regarding its pacing and plot development, eventually securing a reputation as a polarizing but visually distinctive entry in the contemporary anime canon.
