The 10th anniversary project of the 2014 TV anime Terror in Resonance has launched. The project’s official website has opened with a newly-drawn memorial visual featuring the two protagonists, Nine and Twelve.
The psychological thriller TV anime series directed by Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop) aired on Fuji TV’s “Noitamina” midnight programming block for 11 episodes from July to September 2014. The suspenseful story of two boys, in which a mystery leads to more mysteries, attracted a lot of attention at the time of its broadcast.Director Watanabe says, “I have never forgotten them, ever since the summer ten years ago. Of course, they still live inside me, lamenting that it’s hot again this year, and so on.”Kaito Ishikawa, the voice of Nine, also comments, “I found myself shedding tears for the umpteenth time, as I was immersed in the deeply thought-provoking theme, the meticulous visual expression, the realistic sound and the sense of being deep inside the hearts of the characters. Whether you have never seen this anime or have seen it in the past, you will be deeply moved. I hope you will continue to remember their story, even if it is just in a corner of your mind.”And Soma Saito, the voice of Twelve, adds, “For me, ‘Terror in Resonance’ can be called my adolescence without any exaggeration. It is not only sweet and beautiful, but it also encompasses bitterness, an itch, a sense of accomplishment and everything else that could only be experienced at that time of life. I sincerely hope that this work, which is the fruit of a wonderful scenario, characters, music and images, will reach as many people as possible now.”
As the first phase of the project, a special campaign will be held at the Noitamina Shop & Cafe Theater in Tokyo from July 6 to 28, 2024. It will include the sale of goods featuring newly-drawn illustrations, a collaboration menu and limited novelty gifts. During the campaign, the anime’s episodes selected by fan surveys will be screened again every Saturday and Sunday at the theater in the store.
All 11 episodes of Terror in Resonance are available on Crunchyroll with the description below:
In an alternate version of the present, Tokyo has been decimated by a shocking terrorist attack, and the only hint to the identity of the culprit is a bizarre video uploaded to the internet. The police, baffled by this cryptic clue, are powerless to stop the paranoia spreading across the population.
