How about you just make decision for yourself after you watch at least one episode, instead of asking people's opinion that might not even close to your actual opinion
You should already have certain understanding of what to expect if you followed Nisio's shit.

>Rabbit by: Nobuhiko Okamoto

>Nisio Isin making battle royal
It says for itself, whenever it's great or meh is up to you.

Best girl.

Hoping for lots of action

Judging by preview and manga chapters, anime is gonna be hell of of improvement of usual nisio bullshit.
>more characterization
>more action as it should be
I wonder if they actually change the story bits a bit, Boar didn't seems to care much about her imouto then in anime, although maybe it's just manga cuttig off material(but I doubt that, things went exactly's Nisio usually does).

looks kinda gay

Why does the Rat look so basic and normal?

A collaboration with rappers.

>nisio
>action
Pic one, even when he do something action like, it's gonna be cut all actual action and more derpy pointless monologue and dialogues about thigs anyone could figure out for themselves.

Novel folks said the sister stuff is entirely anime original. There was just a small line of narration about it in the book.

You have a weird definition of "normal".

More than that but they are expanding the backstories because well there is no way they could make a 12 episode anime out of the original.

Why tho

Because Sawano.

Best grill.

...

Well people who already saw the first episodes said there's was plenty of action so at least there's that.

>Fans who attended the preview confirmed that the combat scenes are intricate, long and very polished, confirming the strong vibes I got from the promotional material
anime-now.com/entry/2017/09/20/230037
>All in all, the first two episodes of Juni Taisen: Zodiac War set up a story that has plenty of action and ye olde ultraviolence

Alright then it's certainly gonna be one big improvement of original, finally a nisio's stuff with action that has actual action.

...

I'm gonna go ahead and predict that the green haired girl will be best. Please don't die.

...

>The record of the bloody battle between the twelve proud warriors— The 12th Twelve Tournament that gets held every twelve years… Twelve brave warriors who bear the names of the signs of the zodiac fight each other for the lives and souls. The participants are twelve very strange warriors: “Rat,” “Ox,” “Tiger,” “Rabbit,” “Dragon,” “Snake,” “Horse,” “Goat,” Monkey,” “Rooster,” “Dog,” and “Pig.” The victor of this tournament gets to have one wish granted, whatever the wish may be. The one wish they want granted—Who will be the final survivor? Whose tears will flow on the bloody battlefield filled with conspiracy and murder? A soul-shaking battle royale is about to begin.
So it's supposed to be based on a LN, but I see no otaku pandering tweest in the premise. What's the catch?

Never mind the image, I don't know what happened. I shouldn't even be able to post it as I just posted it in another thread.

Japanese wiki just calls it a fantasy novel.

>if it's not isekai/romcom so it's not otaku pandering/related material
Go back to your long neck threads, newshit.

You won't find same in Fate I suppose.

I bet you one of those who think seinen is a genre.

Oh shit, I forgot about this

How did you even conclude such a thing from a completely unrelated comment?

It's quite amusing the director of Mirai Nikki gets to finally perfect that very concept here

>unrelated
It's the same logic and lack of knowledge.

It's not an LN. It's a novel. There's a difference.

It's LN.

No OP

Is there a live stream?

>director of Mirai Nikki
Now i'm worried.

>Nisio Isin
It will be trash.

This is apparently more than 1 cour long, what are we in for?

It's 12 episodes.

Rat's gonna win, everybody dies horrbly, teh end.

Wait is this real, fuck you for spoiling me. I know the light novel is out in English from Viz already.

I-It's the journey that matters anyway

Well it is the "Zodiac" war. What did you actually expect?

It was spoiled before it was even written, Nisio wrote oneshot with his typical protag who wanted to kill his classmates, then later he wrote an entire story about this not-fate stuff, and you knew that instant who's gonna win.
Enj

Rat wins in the original ancient Zodiac wars so the result is known anyways. The good part is what happens in-between.

...

Fucking spoilers man

The novel was written knowing people knew who won since it's based on a oneshot he wrote a year earlier.

That's not what the one shot is about, it's about him trying to figure out what to wish for and going through the options like wishing everyone to die or wishing for everyone to be happy, etc.

>merely pretending.jpg

...

Fucking newfriend, it's happend right in the begining, they didn't even bother to hide it in PVs

...

...

Oh well, I barely remember what it was about, something along the lines as"kill everyone".

You keep on mentioning the original Zodiac wars, literally what the fuck are you talking about, I'm not a Nisioisin fag so I have no idea, the end could be different in this version as well, or have you read the novel. Heck, the anime could have an original ending.

...

...

...

am I the only one that dislikes this new trend with shit fading away outlines? can't they just be regular lines, like what the fuck

>original ending
Then you have nothing to worry about.
But who cares really, it's not a hard to guess who's gonna die or win, I would bet on the rabbit or rat, it's quit obvious,

Even tho the chances that rat is gonna win are high, I want to hope rabit will win.

...

He means in the story, all previous wars are won by rat, so everybody knew who's gonna win, including the readers because they are expected to be nisiofans.

...

This one seems very interesting, especially from the production site of things.

We have Hosoda, a beast of action animation returning to his roots after a rather calm time he had on other shows.

We have Sekiya's distinct art style with the rough outlines most recently featured in Occultic Nine & Granblue Fantasy, the former showing that you can be consistently high quality in terms of animation even with such a "tedious" style to animate.

And we have the studio itself whose roots lay in 3D animation but put together a team of 2D artists for this particular projects. Their influence of 3D camera movement seems very prominent from what we could see in the PV. Should give us some amazing 360° shots and more.

...

What wars are won by rats, this is why I'm confused, is there an alternative version of this or what?

Boku wa warukunai.

...

PREVIOUS wars, it said in the description that every 12 years there's a zodiac battle royal.

...

>sup wanna be my friend?

The rat was the first one to win the race as well in the chink zodiac story.

...

>all previous wars are won by rat
But that's not true, it's said who won the last war and it wasn't a rat.

The title is Zodiac War, what other wars do you think we are talking about?

Is it certain? his daughter may be a Boar, but he could be a Rat.

Nice taste, she's my favorite and I'm hoping she survives.

...

He meant in original zodiac story, Nisio loosely based his battle royal on that.

...

I hope she'll become the Swim Swim of this show. The cute sexy character who turns out to be a sociopath and kill eeryone else's favorites while I have a fun time rooting for. Except she actually survives, that would be nice.

OP song playing during the ED apparently.

Subs when.

>cute female being a psycho
That's so overused by Nisio, the real twist would be she's actually nice girl.
She's gonna die anyway, horribly.

soon, 30 minutes if HS get their shit together, if not 1 hour

Can't wait for the full version.

...

So was there a fight or it's for the next episode?

...

...

Just Google Zodiac War. It's not that hard.
Basically the Rat is always the one at the beginning of the 12-year Zodiac loop. If I recall, it's Rat -> Boar -> Tiger -> Cat/Rabbit -> Dragon -> Snake -> Horse -> Goat/Sheep -> Monkey -> Chicken -> Dog -> Pig

Naruhodo.
I hope it's longer than that shit in manga.

A flyer from this year's AnimeJapan 2017 event revealed on Thursday that the television anime adaptation of writer NisiOisin (Monogatari Series, Medaka Box) and illustrator Hikaru Nakamura's (Saint Young Men, Arakawa Under the Bridge) light novel Jūni Taisen (12 Wars) that will air this year will be the anime's "first 12-episode season."

Is this a fuckup from the retards from ANN or is this really getting another season, at least this implies it.

That's kinda too fast, I hoped they would prolong the eisode so the next one could be all fighting and char development, but I expected too much I guess.

ANN are retards.
