Series Summary
Set in an alternate version of Tokyo, the story centers around two young boys, who are supposidly no longer meant to exist. They have taken on the roles of terrorists, naming themselves "Sphinx". Seemingly causing pointless destruction for the sake of games. The duo also publisize their antics, posting viral videos of themselves to the public as they set riddles for the police force to solve in an attempt to stop the attacks, with the conclusion either saving lives or destroying them. The story takes on a twist as a 3rd party enters the fold, turning everything upside down as the story begins to clear & true motives reveal themselves.

Critical Review
Having mostly only watched Anime surrounded by supernatural/super powered beings, this was a breath of fresh air & suprisingly drew me in on the first episode. I dont expect much from what I watch, as I prefer the action sequences over the story half the time.
The story is not so simple that it only follows the destruction, in my opinion, not overstepping any boundries as it makes sure to tread lightly with the subject of terroism & really does not center around it all that much, focusing more on other aspects of the story. There is also a hints of romance within the anime, perfectly balanced as it does not focus on it too much but fits in very well with the story.
The anime has a great design & soundtrack that is fitting for each scene, nothing too dramatic but nothing that dulls out the mood of the scene.
The only negative in my opinion is how short the series was, I think they could have done alot more with the duo's back story & would of preferred it, I would really like to see a prequel to this story. Even still, the length takes little away from the series & with only 11 episodes it is worth the watch. With an average rating of 8.3/10 I would give similar marks.
