At the end of Zankyou no Terror's OP, a disclaimer is displayed. It reads:

> This show is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real people or groups is
> coincidental."

![Disclaimer at the end of the OP](https://i.stack.imgur.com/4JBc7.png)

The disclaimer is there because the series depicts terrorist acts and whatnot,
but:

Is this disclaimer something **the team decided** to put in order to safeguard
themselves?  
Or are there specific regulations that **make them** put it there, given the
nature of the show?

Also, I'd never seen this type of disclaimer in an anime series before. Are
there any other series that also have them?

Why does Zankyou no Terror's OP end with a disclaimer?


It's only a speculation, but my best guess is that Zankyou no Terror is
handling with a real life scenario that just **might happen** to us in the
real world (and that's little scary).

Unlike other animes that have super powers (like a Death Note, or an ability
to launch a destructive energy projectile, etc.), in this anime, there are no
supernatural abilities as far as it's shown to us.

So the author of the series wants to give us some sort of "warning" that what
we see is not really based on events in real life, and the we shouldn't start
copying the protagonist behavior (And if we do, the owners are not legally
responsible for it).
