Plots(1)
For one wish, they'll risk it all. The time has come for the Twelfth Juni Taisen Tournament - held every twelve years. Twelve proud warriors, each baring a name from the Chinese zodiac, will prepare to fight in the bloody battle royal. The victor is granted a single wish, and they'll do whatever it takes to earn it. Blood and tears will flow on this battlefield - who will be the lone survivor? (Madman Entertainment)

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.
