Nine zankyou no terror series#
AND THAT HAIR! Fans will argue that both characters' introduction coincides with a nosedive in quality in terms of the series themselves, but Five having little to no motivation, or depth, seems to bother people more than Near. In addition, Near in DN and Five in Terror are introduced as the two series progress both backed by the FBI. But, regardless, Terror follows DN in terms of the mind games involving more than just the initial characters. In DN each genius child had a false name starting with a different letter from the alphabet, rather than numbers to distinguish themselves. In Terror the leads even refer to themselves and other children from their orphanage by their numbers, rather than names. From there it becomes a game of cat & mouse, with the respective leads leaving clues for the police whilst also covering their tracks perfectly.Īlso, it in both series genius children are 'cultivated' at orphanages and - I assume - are ranked according to their intelligence. A police investigation is started in the wake of vigilante acts of terrorism / murder, with a task force formed, and an extremely intelligent detective appears to duel with with his new nemesis / nemeses in the public domain. But there are NUMEROUS far more concrete similarities, ranging from the tone / direction (subdued real-world grit) to the characters and plot that made me automatically link them in my head.ĭN and Terror are mind-game series where geniuses go head-to-head with one another. even though Terror is undermined by its two plot device female characters.
Death Note and Terror in Tokyo have roughly FOUR noteworthy female characters between them, much less fanservice! I could recommend the two based solely on that aspect.
It's rare enough for an anime NOT to pander to otaku with sexual fetishes disguised as female characters.
