Story
synopsis
"In an alternate version of the present, Tokyo has been stricken 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."

Characters
in this character section, overall, you will notice how they develop throughout episodes. at first, they lack of emotion (except for Twelve) you learn nothing from their character but as the episode goes you will carefully see their charatcer development

On the outside, he was a typical jokester: light-humored and energetic,
enjoying messing around with other people's business. However, he was
able and willing to adopt ruthless and violent methods if the situation
called for it. his personality contrasts to Nine but somehow he's very close to Nine and loyal to him. he's also part of the Athena Plan project. he is the "heart" throughout the stories

usually portraying a cold demeanor. She also likes playing psychological
games. she is also part of the Athena Plan project along with Nine and Twelve and apparently she was close to them.
Art/ Visual and Sound
the Art fits well with the theme of the stories and the music/BGM supports the animation well. Youko Kanno (よう子菅野) the composer of ZnT's anime is a genius and creates a very uniqe music that still fits well with the anime. mixing the iclandic music with the style of Youko san is just genius. you will most likely to get the feeling of her music in this anime. the suspends, the thrill, the sadness, everything you will get by her music. The color scheme in this animation is just perfect. Personally, i love how dark this anime is and the visual and the music fits very very well.
Overall
This anime can be watched and enjoyed by most people even for those who dont enjoy or usually watch anime. This anime is not a fantasy genre like most anime that has superpowers or mythical creatures or such. this anime also shows how Japanese's society and its surroundings works so, it's very relateable to the reality. the characters are drawn close to the realistic but still has its anime element. persumably, anime characters have big eyes and spikey hair but ZnT knows how to draw the characters into anime-like but looks realistic unlike most anime. as for the story itself, i love the writer is able to create some riddles and making it very unique in its own way. The riddles itself is the the major point of this animation, based on personal thoughts.
Personally, I would give this anime 10/10 but something i just disagree about this anime is the episode is just too short! I mean, 11 episodes are not cleared the story enough making it looks hasty and yes, I believe this anime has so many great potential to become the most favorite anime if they made more episodes (25 episodes are fine by me. ha!) because, can you imgaine the riddles and the plot twist they would offer to audience?? this anime has the potential. I think they wont make this a prequel because how I watched the last episode was being cleared enough and surprisingly, somehow, it must be ended by that time and yet this is the anime which you want to re watch no matter how many times and you'll never get bored of it.
so,I will give this anime 9/10.
