Terror in Resonance
Anime Like Psycho-Pass if You’re Looking for Something Similar
Directed by Cowboy Bebop creator Shinichiro Watanabe, this thoughtful series puts viewers at the center of a burgeoning terrorist attack on Tokyo carried out by two young boys, Nine and Twelve, and Lisa, a schoolmate inadvertently drawn into their plans. Victims of shady government experimentation, Nine and Twelve seek to reveal the truth of what happened to them, drawing the public’s eyes to their cause by any means necessary. Against them stands Kenjirō Shibazaki, an ace detective brought out of an apathetic slump by their case, who must determine whether they or the people they hope to expose are the real villains.
Though its pacing can be somewhat jarring at points, the highs presented by the more thoughtful exchanges between characters make for some excellent viewing. Add in the fantastic sound and art work, and you’ve got an excellent series that can be knocked out on a slow afternoon.
