Narrative:
We were cleared the visual approach to runway 15 in anc. Multiple targets were called out to us by ATC during the approach. While established on visual approach inside of kansy; traffic was called out to us by tower. Negative contact by the first officer (PF) and captain (pm) on the approach. TCAS traffic was noted on our navigation display 100 ft below us. Captain stated 'shallow out descent' or something to that effect. I proceeded to raise the pitch of the aircraft and start a climb when TCAS RA climb occurred. I complied with TCAS RA. We notified tower of the TCAS RA climb and subsequent go-around. Another visual approach to runway 15 was accomplished to a full stop landing.
