Terror in Resonance (TV).

I really really really hope they touch as little as possible the bullying aspect.

Well, I'm giving this first episode a 10/10, hands down. It was a complete joy to look at. Not a single frame was wasted, every little thing was used to characterize the world, setting, or, well, characters. No more dialogue than absolutely necessary, no exposition monologues, but introducing us to the world by showing, not telling. That's how it should be done in a visual medium. But then again, this is Watanabe, who knows what he's doing.

^ A) Why do you hope for as little focus as possible on the bullying?

B) From the look of the opening with the snowmobile, I would guess they've got enhanced senses/reflexes of some sort.

Anyway, I really enjoyed that episode. Really great direction.

As far as power, from the event in the snow bases to the fact they have access to large amount of high tech equipment, one them need to have some sort of mind control, mind reading ability, otherwise it won't really make sense.

Bullying is just so badly handle in anime, the bad guys are so cartoonish I can't bring myself to hate them, there literally only created to be evil kid (until the redemption episode where there personality do a 180) and the bullied kid never do anything to help themselves out of the situation, it also always start at the point were the bullied kid is already being bullied so we don't know the full story. It's just painfully ham fisted, most of the time it fall completely flat and just waste time with the few time where I actually fell something I mostly end up rooting for the bully since it feel like they can't do anything else while the MC often has the possibility of getting out of the situation (super power, great friend ext) and yet doesn't do anything.

Well, our emo terrorists better have the power to erase memories if they hope to get away with this. They transfer into a specific school just before students from it go on a trip to the target and Frog Smile goes out of his way to make sure he is noticed. I reckon the authorities will have some pretty good descriptions, unless people get memory wiped. However, based on the first eppie, it seems like realism is going to be very much in the back seat and these dudes will have whatever resources they need to pull this stuff off.

I don't know about that. Two students transfer into a school just before the trip. I assume they won't be returning to that school - but even if they do, the timing is a little suspicious. So unless the authorities think they died in the bombing, they'd be suspicious, I would think.

And let's look at co-opting a virtual stranger into their conspiracy. How dependable would someone who is given the choice of death or collaboration be? What skill set does she bring to the table that they would be aware of?

Name one anime that dealt with bullying in such way?
