Weekly ED: Zankyou no Terror

My first thought upon watching the ending sequence for Zankyou no Terror was “Damn, this girl knows how to sing.” I’m no expert on vocalization, but she (that is, Aimer) seems to be doing all manner of interesting things with her voice in this song, “Dare ka, Umi o.” (“Somebody, the Ocean.”), composed by Yoko Kanno.

My second thought ws “Damn, this ending sequence really fits the mood of the show”: a kind of dark, melancholy feeling of being adrift, lost, drowning; trying to find one’s form in the world. The two crows/ravens she espies in the sky are a sign of freedom and hope, but also dread.  Your mileage may vary; I just think it’s a gorgeous song and sequence.
