Terror in Resonance might be one of the more interesting shows I have seen, but not in the way that you would think. I'll explain
I was introduced to Terror in Resonance by it's music. Mainly the bike chase scene in episode 4. And i was amazed by it. The music coupled with the very flowy animation, it has created a place in my heart. Before watching the show, I started listening to many of it's songs, and I decided to watch it. And to be honest, I was disappointed by it. Yes, the music was amazing (One of the best OST's I have ever heard) and the animation is great too. But this is where the interesting part is. I have never seen a show or movie with this much of a quality gap between the different aspects of it's medium. You know, we have Spider-verse, where I didn't like the characters and it's story nearly as much as it's animation and music. Or Franxx's story that takes a huge hit in the second half. But in the end, I still liked all the aspects. I still liked Spider-verse's characters and I still liked Franxx's story as a whole.
But this is the first time where I have loved the production of a show, but actively dislike the characters and story
Cause in the end, this shows is about love and betrayal. Or at least that's what I felt. And unfortunately, I have seen that a thousand times. It doesn't really have much depth. And even with the depth that it has, I have seen that in other stories.
And I was also very disappointed by the characters. They have a very good recipe. But even though the creators could do so much with the characters, they didn't. The main character's motivation was never clear to me. They never had any interesting development. They didn't do anything I wouldn't expect them to do.
But because of the animation and music, I was able to enjoy it. And it has definitely has a spot in my heart because of that. Cause if there's anything a terrible show is, it is being forgettable. And this show definitely isn't
