FUNimation has kicked off its latest summer 2014 anime simulcast with Terror in Resonance here, and you can read our review of it here, and they’ve also brought out their first clip from the show. While FUNimation has largely worked with dub clips before for upcoming DVD/BD releases, they’re doing some Japanese language subtitled clips this year for simulcasts, which helps the sharing side of the equation in getting a show out more to fans alongside opening and closing sequences. When you realize that their YouTube channel has over a million followers, it makes sense to put the show in front of them even more in this form and drive them to the series portal. The series is one that has some anticipation to it as it comes from the noitaminA block and has a strong production side to it as it will be directed by Shinichiro Watanabe at studio Mappa with Kazuto Nakazaswa designing the characters while Yoko Kanno is doing the music for it.
Plot concept: In an alternate version of the present, Tokyo has been decimated 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 determine to wake the people from their slumber – and pull the trigger on this world.
