5
QUICK FACTS
PREMISE
Twelve of the word’s deadly mercenaries, each imbued with one of the 12 Zodiac powers, fight every 12 years. The winner of the battle royale gets is granted any wish of their choosing.
LIKED!
+
Characters' "Zodiac Abilities" (superpowers) were neat.
+
Fight scenes
+
music was good, especially during fight scenes
DISLIKED...
–
show deteriorated over time: animation turned into CG, and monologues padded runtime.
–
melodramatic, unsatisfying death scenes landed as funny instead of dramatic
–
meta-conflict and overarching plot never paid off

CLOSING REMARKS
This show is like a can of pringles — nothing truly good, but pretty satisfying if you’re in the mood for it.
