Really? Resonance didn't hit me as hard as After Story did. Maybe because After Story was more down-to-earth and spent more episodes developing the characters.
I agree. Terror in Resonance could have gone from "really good" to "great" if it had more episodes. It was still my favorite anime this season.
Yeah, I have seen the end of After Story, which was pretty distressing, but I guess I felt a bit of a disconnect because it's a property based on a visual novel. I'm not saying that's better or worse, just a different feel to it.
I felt like this show really could have benefited from more episodes, but I know that's not how Watanabe does things. Maybe my expectations went a little too high given his connection and the budget the series had, but I just feel like there are still things that aren't clear. I love this series so much, but I feel like its refusal to divulge pretty critical information in the timeframe that it had really hurt it in the long run.
....and I've gone off on a serious tangent. This summer anime season has just ruined me.

...Have you seen the end of Clannad After Story? (Asking because of your world background.) That was the anime that gave me the same reaction you had at the end of Resonance.
But, I know, I was really hoping they wouldn't show the two die!! I thought they'd be going to jail! T.T
