Plots(1)
Eye of a tiger, head of a boar - there’s plenty of death in store! Everyone, clap your hands! The time has come for the deadly Twelfth Juni Taisen Tournament to begin. In a barren city, twelve proud warriors will go head to head in a bloody battle royal for the sake of a single wish. Bearing the name of a zodiac animal, these fighters are far more terrifying than beasts, possessing their own special moves and motives. Ready to cut through anything and anyone for victory, they’ll put more than pride on the line - but there could be more to this bloodbath than they could ever realize. From unlimited ammunition to raising the dead, the skills of these fighters will prove deadlier than anything they’ve ever faced, and only one lone champion will be left standing. (FUNimation)

This show features a mediocre battle royale-style killing game, even though it loses any sense of suspense because of its concept, which reveals who is going to die next to the audience. So the only interesting thing about this show is probably the character’s individual narratives. However, only a few of them were memorable and had something about them. In a few months, I might have been able to come up with a rabbit, a monkey, a bull, and (clearly the best for me) a tiger. You could not say I found it boring, although I did not find it that entertaining either. So, in the end, this is a bland and unspectacular show worth 5/10. ()
