awal said: This anime is quite predictable, but at least it's entertaining. I think a strong suit so far for me is like-able and interesting characters (except for rabbit, I don't like that dude). Even if you know what is coming it still is fairly enjoyable. I don't like the rabbit either, typical edgy guy with a fanbase, meh. |
 |
| This episode was good but i agree with everyone else saying that this is a little bit too predictable, I mean we already know whos gonna die next just by watching the ep preview/title. Still enjoyable because of good animation and character design but i hope to see some twists and shit in the next couple episodes And these two first deaths were kinda lame, they are there making plans and strats just to die right after lol |

| The voice acting here really is standing out for me!!!!! |
| Too bad the boar Ino died so soon, I liked her. The ending song is soooo good! |
Gelo_0315 said: So backstories are instant death flags. :v Dayum... They better give us something better next episode. The series is promising, but if they continue this. *sigh* To be fair, the show itself tells us who is going to die in the next episode. |
I wouldn't say this is necessarily true, due to the fact that the Dragon was actually the first to die, meaning there isn't a linear order. |
| We finally getting a good Battle Royale, but we knew dog was going to die, hope we don't get spoiled like this every episode, monkey background is hilarious in a good way. Was going to give an 8 but it is really a 7 for now, if it gets any better this show will be a solid 8, also waiting for a real fight. |
| Can it be any more predictable? |
 |
| The episode titles have spoiled what happens twice now. I'm going to avoid reading the titles anymore. It probably won't help much though since it seems like whoever is the focus of the episode is going to be the one to die. Damn, this looked like it would be fun but it seems like it's already going downhill. |
 |
| I really like world building, the set up for the Juuni Taisen and the premise thus far. I'm not too desperate to immediately get large scale fights so early, seems like they do say that the strategy for the previous fights seems to be laying low. Admittedly, they do have the poison now but it might take some time for the time limit to truly draw out people to fight. What I'm worried about is the format of storytelling seems to be way to predictable, killing off characters that were just fleshed out for the episode. It will likely end by the end of the series, but I'm just hoping it'll be earlier rather than later. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
Scarlett_ryuken said: I'll leave that to your imagination.Illyricus said: It was obvious Dog was going to die. Like Boar, he was too overconfident and Chicken seemed too stupid for someone who was participating in a battle royale, it was obvious she wasn't going to be that dumb. She probably knew about his abilities and was waiting the moment he would dope her to finish him. Overall it's a pity, since Dog seemed like a badass. Also, Ox is receiving a lot of hype, I'm before someone defeats him off-screen and later that character appears telling the viewers how awesome the fight was. I think the same. The title doesn't helps either. Kinda sad, not sure if salty or just referencing |
 |
| Best anime in this season. I liked it when the chicken lady killed than dog bastard. I hope she wins the game |
| Goddamnit. I really hoped that Boar lady is alive. RIP, gorgeour Boar lady. Fucking Usagi! So, the Monkey was the one behind th explosion in the building, so that they can get away and she's with the Rat. I ship it. Hahaha. He really loves sleeping, huh? Nice knowing about the Dog, though, and he teamed up with the Chicken and she's responsible for the birds in the city and uses it to spy on the other candidates. Dog bit her to power her up or something, but looks like he got killed by her. What the fuck. Interesting episode. Loved it. I just wish that Boar lady survived, but no she's now a walking dead. P.S. Holy shit that Oax guy, though. What a bishounen! And somehow the Horse guy wants to team up with him, but Oax attacked him!?!?! The Horse guy seems like a nice guy, though. I hope he's A-OK! |

| damn, really like the OP... kinda cool ED is not bad too, we get to see the warriors in their casual clothing... nice too bad for Dog though for dying like that... feels bad for the Horse who met Ox first... lol Chicken is Best Grill!! |
 |
| Killing by pecking, though =D Yup, Dog died being pecked. Nice peck. I'm going to ignore the fact that everyone are so boring and the whole setting has a big hole and hope I can find enjoyment. So far: Nope. The only enjoyment I had is when Ayaneru said "Killing by pecking" with her moe voice. That's... not really what you want from this kind of anime... ^^; |
| So she was waiting for the dog to inject her with that power up juice? Judging by the next ep title Chicken's up to die next. Mmm, fried chicken.... |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
| I really like this OP than keikai. Dog died quite abruptly. 😓 he's kinda like a wolf dog. Want more bunny screen time 🐰🐰 |
Morakan said: It was snake who died, not dragonI wouldn't say this is necessarily true, due to the fact that the Dragon was actually the first to die, meaning there isn't a linear order. |
| RIP Doggo Judging by the title, I guess the next episode will be the end of Niwatori.. |
| NIWATORI THE ROOSTER IS BEST GIRL |
  |
| Chicken clearly is best girl but I wouldnt doubt it if she ends up kicking the bucket next episode. Dog man made a big mistake giving her a power up. |
 |
| whenever a warriors gets a flashback, he dies |
 |
| Is there going to be more than "just a killing game", or is the anime truely only about killing each other? It's still quite enjoyable but it would not get more than a 6 for me if all they do is kill each other without any story or meaning whatsoever. |

I like the OP too,and I agree,I feel bad for the Horse XDD He seems like a really nice and sweet guy,according to the ED where the warriors are shown in their everyday life and such. Honestly, derprume said: ME TOO maybe that Duodecuple-or whatever was his name has nekomimis under his hat! XD Oh,wait,just remember he actually removed his hat in the first episode,no ears.. :'D Well, his name means twelvefold,soo. Hmm,maybe he will have a relatively significant role in this show? 🤔I am still banking on the cat coming in and killing everyone Anyways! This anime will become like Mahoushoujo Ikusei Keikaku if they keep doing this... Aaand that's not really ok lol. The Snake... Snakes can live even hours after their head has been chopped off,but guess it isn't our Snake's case... ¯_(ツ)_/¯ |

| I kinda liked Dog ;_; |
| The zodiac order is messed up with Snake dying before it even started. Otherwise Rooster, Monkey, Sheep, Horse then Snake again? Third episode will tell us if there is a trend. |
| i was waiting for chicken to kill him whole episode... :D |
I honestly believe anyone thinking "Aw man this is Battle Royale when they lose after introduction flashbacks" is greately misleaded, or masterfully deceived by this series. But even if it follow the order, so what? The series is still great, the ideas are here. You just have to take them in and at least try to fathom. Of course anyone simply wathcing to see them kill each other will be deeply disappointed, hence they are missing on the way deeper dimension than the one they have on their screen. From what I have seen,people don't usually like predictable things nor repeating the same formulas more than like... twice? From my point of view,it's just a little sad that once you finally get to know more about a certain character,s/he dies. It's hard to get attached to charas like this since we know just a little about them,and the character development is limited. Of course,getting attached to characters in a battle royale is hard since nearly all of them will die anyways,but still,I'm pretty sure everyone is rooting for someone and wishes to know more about their favourites. Not to mention that the character design is pretty good,everyone is different etc But!! I agree,the ideas are still there,whatever the order will be ,this anime caught my interest from the very beginning and has a lot of potential,definitely gonna continue watching Juuni Taisei and see what will happen next. |

joe_g7 said: Wow that was fucking disappointing. First Boar, now Dog, do they seriously plan on killing the characters in shitty ways like these two? They're both killed because they got cocky. Boar wasn't meant to be there in the first place and her death proved that. Dog was just super cocky and underestimated Chicken. He wanted to kill her first and instead she killed him. Seems like poetic justice so far. I hope Monkey doesn't get betrayed and we see her fighting. I'd like for her to live, only because she's a pacifist who seems to be proactive in what she does. I didn't expect that she was the one who destroyed the floor, but it was smart of her to do so. It would be funny if cat showed up though. Or maybe he already did and he's the one running the tournaments? |
°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° |
| So the boar got killed and transformed into a zombie that was surprising. So the population of Tokyo was erased rather than evacuated then scary. So Sharyu was the one that brought the floor down. To use the whole of Tokyo as their battleground though thats a huge area to fight in. Im surprised that the rooster managed to find him though. Dog sure knows a lot about his opponents though. I wonder whether Niwa really is just innocent or is she faking it. To think that Dog will use Niwa as a decoy but ended up getting killed by her instead. Looks like things are starting to get heated. |

| Y'know what, I ended up liking Dotsuku so I was kind of gutted when his head got smoothied...you shouldn't have tried to use Chicken girl as a decoy bro. It seems like whoever narrates the episode is next to die lol Next week I think the huge, He-man looking guy is narrating?? Anyway, really good episode. The only one I don't like so far is the Monkey girl- her presence puts a dampener on all the insanity going on imo. She's just boring, and she'll prolly be making it to the end too. Still trying to figure out which twin actually got killed and which one didn't. |

| Maybe this is a set up? They would show two predictable deaths in the first two episodes, and then throw a curb ball to throw the viewers off. I don't think that this show would be so predictable as everyone has already said. The whole deception that caused the first two deaths (I'm not including the Snake yet because we don't know how he exactly ended up in a circumstance of getting his head cut off) could be a clue to how this show may play out, ultimately. That all being said... I hope the Chicken girl lives to the very end. Why? Because my zodiac sign is the rooster, lol. I also like her very much. And dat outfit too, lol. |
| To be or not to be... that is not the question. ;3 |
| The Rat's gonna win, no ifs ands or buts. Maybe his dad was in the last version of this game too and the guys recognize him from there, either that or maybe he's like the son of the tourney organizers or something. The Chicken was awesome. Managed to get a boost up by the Dog before killing his unsuspecting ass. Wonder what will happen between the Horse and the Ox now too. Clearly both raised their hands at the beginning, so if they'd only stop to talk things through.... but we'll see. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| That was an enjoyable episode. It was obvious from the beginning that Niwatori was shady af lol. First Boar, now Dog. Is this how it's gonna be, are we gonna focus on a character in every episode only to have them killed off by the end? If this becomes a pattern then it will be quite anticlimactic and predictable. The ending was a bit disappointing for this very reason. |
