Im gonna go out on a limb here and say I liked it. Quite a lot too. Sure it was predictable at times and sure the quality of the animation took a huge nosedive about halfway through but I really dont think it deserves all the hate Ive been seeing it get lately. First off: the story. Its true that from about episode 3 you can tell whos going to die based on how the anime works. But that doesnt actually take away from the enjoyment. Its just like having a friend tell you a major spoiler for a series the surprise might be gone but sometimes you enjoy it all the more for that. The only difference here is that the anime spoilers itself. I personally didnt mind knowing who was going to die it just meant I knew who to focus on when watching an episode. Character development was basically episodic. One episode per character although there were exceptions. I thought Tigers story was great that was probably my favourite part of the anime. Most of the backstories were interesting with the exception of Snake and Dragon or at least thats my opinion and the characters were just quirky enough that I enjoyed watching them without getting bored. Thats actually one thing that can be a con for an anime but in this case was a pro the amount of time spent on each character was manageable bite sized pieces if you will. The ending whilst not necessarily a brilliant one was nevertheless a fitting sendoff for the show. The anime did take a rather different approach during the last episode much more philosophical but it addressed the question raised at the beginning. I thought the way the wish the overall point to the story was handled was very thoughtprovoking and even though I didnt necessarily agree with the wish itself it was very human. That humanity is something that the anime needed after the Taisen bloodbath. It gave the showclosure you might call it. There were some plotholes and some questions that remained unanswered but in relation to those I dont think answers were actually needed. There were a lot of fabulous fight scenes at least in the first half and some pretty good music too. The anime was faithful to its Battle Royale/Hunger Games trope and even though there are parts of it that I feel could have been handled better I respect it for that. In regard to parts that could have been handled betterId say basically everything to do with Rabbit. My main bugbear there was so much potential Nonetheless if you like the survival horror trope and like seeing a mix of interesting characters but dont mind if theres not much plot Id recommend you check out Juuni Taisen. Enjoy watching XD
