The music is the essence of hope, blended and refined into magnificent sound.įor how distant and cold everything feels from the start, the uplifting presence of each climactic build up and release just breaths hope. Yet, not only does this work at providing interesting harmony, it showcases the beauty behind the central theme of the anime in the brightest way possible. However, all songs are centered around the general theme of progression. It is layered to the brim with piano tracks, hard hitting rock, and even minimalistic and lo-fi indie. With Zankyou no Terror however, there really isn't a specific genre. Kanno is well versed in almost every genre she has approached. Whether it be the critically acclaimed jazz of Cowboy Bebop or the energetic trip-hop of Ghost in the Shell. She is always looking for a way to reinvent herself and express her music through different genres and no matter what succeeds at creating a composition that always deserves a standing ovation. In the anime world, Yoko Kanno is very similar to the likes of Kayo Dot or even Sufjan Stevens.
Start to finish, the soundtrack to Zankyou no Terror contains some of the best songs composer Yoko Kanno has ever put out, and not a single song on this should be dismissed, as it is simply one of the most complete soundtrack I have ever heard. The soundtrack to Zankyou no Terror is the best part the show has going for it, and it succeeds at being far greater than that. Yet for me, it wasn't really the story, animation, or even characters that were the best aspect of the show. The gorgeous animation and strikingly realistic themes depicted throughout the show's short length were detrimental in increasing the show's ever growing popularity. It may not have been perfect, but by the end I was fully engaged in the world I was watching, and by the end I even began believing in it.
Say what you want about about Zankyou no Terror as a show.
