Comments
Bramantyo Wibisono (KAORI Newsline)
Fighting, blood, and brutal cruelty. Humanity means nothing in the anime. Twelve most notorious killers in the city are gathered to kill each other to be the winner and survive.
NisiOisin wasn’t just an ordinary name to promote the Juuni Taisen anime. In the first episode, one flag for one of the twelve main characters has been ‘raised’. It looks like the main character will change in every episode because there are more main characters than usual. And presumably, starting from the next episode episode they will die one by one each episode. The unique and ‘dark’ story concept like this should be worthy of thumbs up. And the staff at studio Graphinica brings the ‘gory’ image very well in the anime.
