Synopsis
Orphaned twins stranded on deadly planet must conquer four Rings to escape and uncover parents' murder truth.
After the murder of their parents, 11-year-old twin brothers Thor and Rai Klein are sent away from their home planet. They find themselves awakening on the terraformed planet of Chimaera, where carnivorous plants dominate and the few humans who live there are divided into four groups known as "Rings." Soon after, they meet a young man by the name of Zagi, and the twins learn that only the "Jyu Oh Sei"—the one who conquers these four Rings—is allowed to leave the planet. Driven by the desire to return home and discover the truth behind the death of his parents, Thor resolves to survive in the harsh, merciless environment of Chimaera. However, he quickly learns there is more than meets the eye in this strange ecosystem. As Thor is swept up in the politics that entangle the Rings, he uncovers more about his parents' murder, and ultimately, humanity's fate as a whole.

- 9 “a very serious anime...though short but i love it. I feel very bad that its about finish in india.(only 1 ep. left)”
- 10 “I found this by recommendation from here. I love this story! The characters are very strong and the plot is solid. It is a very tragic story and I was glued to the very end. This moves up the list...”
- 9 “I absolutely loved Jyu-Oh-Sei! I just wished that the anime wasn't so rushed. So many things would go on during the course of one episode so there was a lot of information coming at you way too...”
