Hey guys, I am looking for battle Royal animes - basically bunch of characters killing each other to survive. Something similar to danganronpa, Darwins game, Kings Game, Magical Girl raising, Future Diaries etc.
Hi Kawaikrsjanu-chan, it seems like you might be looking for new anime to watch!

Juni Taisen: Zodiac War & Killing Bites
Kawaikrsjanu-chan2025-12-25 17:34
One my favorite. It's underrated sadly.

Go for Fate/stay night. Same studio as demon slayer. Really great animation and characters.
Now not a anime but check out Battle royale movie (2000). It was the inspiration for all battle royale animes/movies to come
Kawaikrsjanu-chan2025-12-25 17:32
I watched the movie. I loved it. FATE series, I have loe hate relation with it. I like couple of seasons, not all of them. Got bit confusing to me.

Thanks. I think I watched all of em though 😅. Now I am in a place where I wanna watch anime but I don't know what to watch. Lol

Peak battle royal would be Magical Girl Raising project, though the first season only adapts a part of the way better LN (havent read it yet myself) However its supposed to get another adaption for a different part soon!
Kawaikrsjanu-chan2025-12-25 17:35
I think I watched one of the Magical Girl Raising. I guess at this point ima watch the entire franchise
Pretend-Tangerine-222025-12-25 17:31
Fate

*Technically*
"My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered, No One In This Other World Stands A Chance Against Me!'
Sort of fits the feel of battle royal. Is the fighting fair? No. Is it good? No. Is it fun to watch? Perhaps.

Juni Taisen: Zodiac War, its pure unadulterated battle royale between combatants who represent the 12 Chinese Zodiac signs ( rooster, ox, snake, etc).

Mixed feelings about this one and its similar plot/pacing pitfalls it shares with Basilisk:
[Zodiac War] >!Rabbit felt so OP at times that it was frustrating to watch. Most of the episodes would introduce you to a character that was usually dead by the end of the episode. It needed more balance, guessing, display of abilities and a feeling of spontaneousness.!<
[Basilisk] >!Basilisk (season 1) also suffered from an imbalance where one clan was wrecking the other for stretches, that you knew it would have to predictably balanced out. It took away a lot of mystery and guessing. It made it hard to get behind characters when they were killed off so fast.!<
