It was alright

Warning: Spoilers
Would I watch this again? Nah. Was I entertained? I guess so. Would I reccomend? Eh. Could it be better? Yeah.

Terror in resonance is about two young guys who plant different bombs around Tokyo, while the police scramble to find out who, where, and why. Along the way they meet some girl named Lisa who's a really weak character and doesn't do much now that I think about it. Then there's Five, a woman with wild hair who wants to... play games?

This show could be better. Is it good? Eh. Is it bad? That's a bit too far. This show is the definition of "alright". In the beginning I hated the two main guys, because I just thought of them as weird edgy teens who somehow had the smarts to create and detonate bombs throughout Tokyo, without anyone having caught on to them whatsoever. In the end, I still didn't really care for them. Sure, they had that tragic backstory, and yes they didn't want to kill anyone, but other then that I still considered them villains of some sort (especially since they destroyed millions of dollars in property damages, all to spread the message that they really could've gotten through with their first bombing.) I also thought it was weird they were all about not killing anyone, and yet they highly considered killing Lisa, whom they forced to be an accomplice. On to Lisa, I thought she was really weak. She's bullied (just cause) and has an unstable mother (who we never hear from after Lisa runs always). She's also a bad cook. What I really don't get is why shes hanging out and living with two terrorists. Seriously, why?? I know she's troubled and weak cause of being bullied, but I don't think she has mental issues. The cop guy who smoked a lot was cool. That's all I have to say on him. And finally, on to the lady with that onion looking hair. She's sorta there, just cause?? In the end she has no bearing on the outcome of the plot. It's like she's there to spice things up. Yeah I like her, but she's just there just cause. Also I don't understand her motives. Yeah she wants to play a game with twelve (or whatever the glasses terrorists number name is) but like, why? Why is she doing all this. She's got the Americans on her side, but for what?? I guess she was just there to dick around. These characters are something else.

Overall, I think some parts of this are nonsensical or illogical. Let's say I lived in Tokyo or some other major city with lots of people. If two terrorists started bombing around to spread a message, putting people's lives at risk and ruining millions of dollars in property, as well as unleashing an atomic bomb over the city, causing everyone to evacuate and shutting off the electricity (how did two 17 yr olds do this again?) and miraculously killed no one, all to spread some message about how they were experimented on as kids, I'd still hate the heck out of them. They really could've just dropped one bomb, said their piece, and left. This might be because of 9/11, (which I was reminded of a lot in this show), but if someone is willing to dick around with some bombs, I don't care what they have to say. I don't really care about the ending. It was sorta entertaining though. But if ten years passed and I forgot everything about what happened in this show and had the chance to watch it again, my response would be "eh."
