Juni Taisen: Zodiac War
A Battle Royale anime about all the zodiac signs is enough to garner interest whether it’s good or bad. Some anime fans may feel like the concept isn’t particularly clever while others couldn’t think of a better concept at the foundation of an all-out brawl between powerful fighters. With a concept like this, the reality is that the presentation and execution can truly make or break the entire series. While a zodiac war sounds cool it can also seem cliched if it isn’t handled in a way that feels fresh and exciting.
So far, Juni Taisen: Zodiac War is on the right track and could really be a fun break out hit this fall. Fans of Fate/Zero will certainly find a lot to enjoy here while great animation, solid writing, and interesting character concepts will easily pull in tons of other viewers. It’s another anime with a relatively simple concept but wrapped up in a package that is incredibly interesting and downright captivating. When you aren’t getting lost in the fluid animations that make their presence known even in the most mundane of moments, you’ll be eagerly keeping an eye on the collection of zodiac fighters who all seem to have the potential to become pretty unhinged over time.
