15 [Similar Anime] Like Terror in Resonance

It's rare enough for an anime NOT to pander to otaku with sexual fetishes disguised as 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... even though Terror is undermined by its two plot device female characters. 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.

Taking place in a modern setting, Death Note and Zankyou no Terror explores human nature to a psychological degree. The main characters play mind games with their opponents and are highly intelligent with a strange sense of humor.

Do you like attractive and charismatic young adults getting wrapped up in terrorist plots, then look no further than Higashi no Eden or Zankyou no Terror. Both of the main female characters inexplicably find themselves helping out terrorists, but why exactly have these young men decided to lead such a dangerous life to begin with? Only time will tell.

People with special talents compete with one another and lead Japan into disarray in their attempt to rescue it. Both are short and set in an modern, urban area. Both have a female lead that is completely useless and doesn't have anything to do with the plot whatsoever. Eden of the East is more wacky where Terror in Tokyo takes it self very serious.

These shows are so similar that it borders on plagiarism. Both have teen protagonist(s) who commit crimes for an unknown purpose and have a mysterious backstory tied to a shadowy organization. Both have a secondary protagonist who is a brilliant detective who had, prior to the events of the story, been working in "archives" for a number of years due to crossing a line when investigating a previous case. Beyond the physical similarities, though, if you like the mystery and psychological thriller aspects in one of these shows, you'll enjoy the other. Both have an interesting story with lots of unexpected twists and turns, and both pose interesting philosophical and psychological questions to the viewer.

Taking on a detective-like story, Psycho Pass and Zankyou no Terror (Terror in Tokyo) explores the concept of crime and terrorism. The main protagonists from both series often gets into conflicts that puts their mortal lives in danger. The antagonists from both series also treats certain situations as games where losing will have disastrous consequences. Building on a story with thriller antics, I recommend both series to anyone interested in crime fiction.

Main things that make these two animes similar are the protagonists being genius like anti-heros, with a major theme being terrorism. Also, both animes have another strong character with differing values with the main character, hence fighting against the them. I think there are a lot of hidden metaphors in both animes, and they both explore deeper notions and emotions as the story progresses. There is a lot of action, strategic planning, girl characters that don't do much, long legged skinny guys as the mains...but they're still pretty cool...
Zankyou no Terror is not finished at the time of making this recommendation, but I am up to date. This is my opinion on similarities at the current time (August 2014).

Zankyou no Terror and Monster have a few pretty significant similarities in terms of plot and themes.
For example:
-Both involve children being used in government experiments.
-Both have young genius characters who commit crimes for reasons not fully explained until you get closer to the conclusion of the series.
-Similarly to Tenma's hunt for Johan in Monster, Shibazaki taking a personal interest in bringing 9 and 12 to justice is one of the main driving forces behind Zankyou no Terror's plot.
-While these are more central aspects of Monster, Zankyou no Terror also has elements of mystery and suspense.

when I watched this I automatically thought of Zankyou no terror. The Same base in kids being part of an experiment and it going wrong, both have characters that are loveable , Kiznaiver is prettier than Zankyou no Terror, and Zankyou no terror has a rather "fuck you" ending. If you liked Kiznaiver I really do recommend this.

Both ZnT and S;G shares the same fashion of thriller-inducing stories and mysteries. Both stories goes on like nothing is going to happen except for what is already happening (protagonists carrying out terrorism in ZnT/conducting time machine experiments in S;G) while leaving several hints and mysteries for the audience to figure out throughout the story. At some point, both stories has its own plot twist but still shares the same fashion: a conspiracy being responsible for the existence of the plot twist and mysteries that were left unanswered to this point.

Both shows masterfully utilize flashbacks and dramatic plot devices to take the viewer on a fast-paced, philosophical and emotional journey that is sure to cause both pleasure and introspection.

Both animes are made from Noitamina, and they both have a mysterious, realistic feel. They both don't feel like an anime, but rather, a dramatic reality.

Both series are mature in tone and tackle morality, terrorism, and what it means to be human. They are set in modern Japan and feature more realistic styles of animation, but they also have a slight sci-fi element: in Inuyashiki, humans gain robotic abilities through an unexplained alien encounter, and in Zankyou no Terror, children are experimented on to make them genius savants. Both series have some very dramatic and emotional moments, too!

BOTH:
-From a perspective that is considered a threat to society. (Terrorists, Ghouls)
-Involve a team of investigators tracking down our main protagonists.
-Are set in the city of Tokyo.
-Have similar art styles.
-Have similar tones/moods.
-Have similar music.
-Have characters which seem threatening on the outside, but have relatively good intentions.

Both Shinsekai Yori (SY) and Zankyou no Terror (ZnT)'s plot include children rising against some wrongs imposed onto them by elders and the structure of their society. Where SSY is historical and supernatural, ZnT is modern and realistic; both present mystery and thriller as its genre. I strongly recommend these masterpieces, a viewer will surely uncover this parallel between the two and then feel ecstatic!

Both series have war and a lot of relationships to outside conflict and each side having to defend and attack. Both involving a lot of terrorism and solving crimes. Highly similar protagonists, very calm and very determined to help one another to find solutions to problems.

If you like anime set in cities and smart characters who like toying with people, Durarara / Zankyou no Terror is the way to look. Both also have that fun and seemingly playful character who has had darker times, and even a shy girl if that's what you're looking for.
