It is here that Lisa refuses to be denied. Twelve truly can’t seem to help himself- he reaches out to Lisa again and again, just as she reaches out to him and to Nine.Īll this comes to a potent head just as Nine and Twelve are about to leave the apartment to confront Five in the airport. But Twelve might just as well have called Lisa herself special, unique, individual. Her voice, to Twelve’s synesthesia (a trait that has always fascinated me), is a pale yellow, he says, a rare color. But Twelve’s words to Lisa continue to counteract Nine’s harshness with a refreshing kindness unlike anything Lisa has ever experienced.
Nine and Twelve represent the first two people to recognize her existence as a person, even if Nine’s words are couched in (again) almost tsundere-like meanness. Lisa has been so alone for so long that she is desperately clinging to any connection to any human beings that she can. As my screenshot ratio tells me, I was again more interested in the domestic shenanigans, and more engaged in the action of the episode’s second half.Īs cute as it was to see Lisa trying to make a home for herself, to almost force herself into the boys’ lives through doing the laundry (and her adorably pathetic attempts to cook), the whole sequence of her interactions has a sad undertone. Zankyou no Terror truly does episode endings very well, but we’ll get to that later. Like last episode, we more or less split time between watching Lisa and the boys in the apartment with the police bisecting the thrilling final minutes of the episode. This episode of Zankyou no Terror was all about people coming together. I do wonder if she truly understands what she has gotten herself into, but at this point its not about the danger and its not about whether or not she can harm others. Well, not exactly, but Lisa’s first real inclusion to Nine and Twelve’s purposes is a landmark moment for both Lisa and the boys-one that places her in very real danger. The last line translates to “winter covers everything” - a statement that perfectly bookends the series.In this episode, Lisa uses her moe powers to convince a couple of terrorists to let her in on their super secret plan to defuse a bomb somebody else set up. Right from the first listen, Trigger made me think of someone looking far out in the distance, sighing and pleading for a temporary reprieve, to feel like they’re in the right place at the right time for at least once. So the OP sets the tone with an unyielding and freezing aura, despite packing constant beats and an acoustic guitar in the chorus. Terror in Resonance references Iceland in its character designs, dialogue, and music (Watanabe even said they went there for recordings). Like in AnoHana, Trigger boasts Yuuki’s pensive vocals, but the summer sound is replaced by a radically different but apt electronic tone. Yuuki Ozaki’s opening track for Zankyou no Terror is like a mixture of Aoi Shiori and Cloud Age Symphony modified for Shinichiro Watanabe’s psychological thriller (and MAPPA’s prestige anime project) in 2011. Trigger – Yuuki Ozaki (Terror in Resonance)
