Australian anime publisher Madman Entertainment have today announced their acquisition of anime series Terror in Resonance, a new suspense-filled intellectual thriller directed by Shinichiro Watanabe. They have also confirmed that they will be holding a special première screening at Oz Comic-Con in Melbourne on July 6th, 2014 – only hours after its world premiere at Japan Expo in Paris and Anime Expo in the United States.
Can’t attend the screening? Don’t fret, as the episode will also be available via Madman’s new AnimeLab service.
In an alternate version of the present, Tokyo has been hit 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.
While the world searches for a criminal mastermind to blame for this tragedy, two mysterious children – children who shouldn’t even exist – masterfully carry out their heinous plan. Cursed to walk through this world with the names Nine and Twelve, the two combine to form “Sphinx”, a clandestine entity determined to ‘wake the people from their slumber and pull the trigger on this world’.
