This is unironically the best thing that happened to "Terminator" franchise since "Terminator 2". You don't have to watch ANY of the movies to understand this anime though, it is self explanatory and this is awesome. Magnificent soundtrack, great character development, solid plot. Some plot twists are predictable but it is not necessarily a bad thing: sometimes it just means that a title has its internal logic which is always great. Titular Terminator is very menacing, dangerous machine that can kill any character any given minute and this reminds me of Terminator 1 which was almost a horror movie. This is one of the best sci-fi anime series ofthe past few years and it deserves a watch.
