Hikarusuke said: I think she is OK until her men-fear takes hold. And she knows it. That's why when Sakamoto confronts her, she decides to leave his group.Himiko is so got damn ungrateful. They saved her ass and she still bitches and complains. |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
| As a non manga reader... it doesn't feel that rushed to me. Also, a confrontation with the lawyer and the knife guy. Sakamoto will discover that Himiko is her virtual wife in BTOOOM from what we can see in the next episode. Oooh. |

| New enemy seems like a Rambo type. |
| omg that preview iwojtoi4utoi34terg |
| This anime becomes a pain in the ass with each new episode because of Sakamoto. In every single episode (until now) there is at least one scene that makes me wanna go on a rampage and punch Sakamoto really hard in the face. In one moment he's a little whiney kid that does not want to adapt to his environment, the next he is the emotionless but calculating pro gamer ruling everyone and in another one he gets an impulse of insanity. Gosh, this inexplicable inconsistency in his character annoys the hell out of me.. Worst main character this season (of anime that I am watching).. Now waiting for a fanboy someone bashing me for my opinion or setting my opinion right. :) |
 |
| Somehow I still think Taira is just acting as an old, useless man. Sakamoto is doing all the fighting, but meanwhile Taira is gathering all the stones. That's why he isn't leaving him either. But maybe I'm just paranoid. Himiko isn't very thankful to them for saving her either is she? Next episode that long haired dude is back too. This isn't going to be good.... |
 |
| Why won't Himiko even ask since the old man kept calling him Sakamoto -_- Anyway, not-bad ep. |

Maybe he doesn't use his real name as his gamer tag,unlike a certain another person we all know from another show. That or they never shared personal info. Anyways, Sakamoto guna be dah hero n get dah lady. Gonna assume those gas bombs don't explode until released or something. I'm sure he's 1337 at btooom but when it comes to physical strength, he should be pretty week considering all he does is game. Just curious as he climbed that ladder pretty fast... |
| i think i remember spoiling myself with MR rambo guy if this is the part i think it is, eh i understand why shes like that but doesn't change the fact of how ungrateful she is lol. |

Actually if you wan't to know what happens in the manga about that read the spoiler bellow, don't read it if you don't want spoilers! |
| Nice episode. I guess it's a good thing those komodo dragons are gone for now. I wonder what the kidnapper is planning. |
 |
| She reminded me of Guts when she said "please don't touch me!" and the way she acts in general (though guts is crazy and would've abandoned these guys immediately and got enough stones on the first day) |
 |
| I enjoyed it yup yup. 4/5 So I was watching this episode with my friends and at one point, when Sakamoto's tears fell on Himiko's face, we all thought she was suddenly going to wake up due to the power of love. Glad to see Btooom proving us wrong! :D Phew, I thought it was going to be like SAO |
| So glad that Taira-san did not die... and it's funny to see how Sakamoto and Taira doubt each other.. haha.. you will really feel doubt if the worst case scenario happens. |
| I can't wait for the next episode!!!! |
  |
| Finally that guy appeared. Next week's episode will be an interesting one. |
| Taira is not going to survive very long after being bit by a Komodo Dragon. Their saliva is so full of bacteria that it's toxic. Why hasn't Hibiki worked out that he's THE Sakamoto? It's been twice that Taira has said his name out loud. |

| clusterfuck of cringe moments. The episodes of BTOOOM really are inconsistent :S. The next episode seems really promising though, since it seems thats when they find out who each other is. 2/5 |
| Good episode, Taira is an interesting character, probably my favorite character of this show. On the other hand, Himiko was a bit annoying. I don't think she even said thanks. |
| A really nice episode . It really gives you the feel that youre in the island aswell (the music and timings are well done). But I still dont really get how Sakamoto has some nice damn reflexes even if he's just sitting everyday playing games . And they should had disinfected that wound already the first thing they got in that safe house . lol |
 |
| yup next episode seems to be great ^^ |

| WHY WOULD YOU REVEAL THE NEXT EPISODE'S TWIST IN THE PREVIEW WHO DOES THAT. Well, I used to read the manga (why did I stop exactly, I dunno?) so I already know, but it just seems stupid. Oh well, I guess everybody and their mother guessed it ages ago anyway... A good episode, I don't agree it was rushed. That's the tempo all anime should have - stuff happening. Not just one event per episode, that's good for a manga chapter. Anime is ~25 minutes, adapt something! And so they did. |

katsu044 said: eh i understand why shes like that but doesn't change the fact of how ungrateful she is lol. Exactly: it's perfectly understandable why she's suspicious towards everyone, yet the writing puts way too much, constant emphasis on her "edgy" past, to the point she basically has nothing else as a character, and makes her far less reasonable (and complex) than she should be. Now if this would be a parody it wouldn't be a problem at all, given how she's aware in a sense that she is pretty much the fanservice character of the franchise, but the only thing the show does to her at this point is making her an ungrateful asshole with drama queen tendencies. |
| Great episode, so far this has been good. But next episode will be what I was waiting for! Not a lot to say for this episode, only that that knife guy needs to die asap. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| What a great episode, I am liking this series more and more. I never knew komodo dragons were such aggressive animals, unless that me very unrealistic. Still, it was pretty exciting how Sakamoto found that Taira was saving him this time. And that's how they found the tower (surprised that nobody already occupying it); and what's with the old blood and that there may have possibly been something similar before? It's very interesting how things are unfolding. Himiko wasn't trusted because she doesn't trust them, and vice versa; and it's for good reasons- Himiko (who's new to the group) could betray, and they could do what she fears most. So it's interesting, although you can tell near the end that they were clearing things up (before being interrupted). As for the ending, I was actually disappointed that it was that guy who showed up. I thought it would blow my mind and show Sakamoto's shocked face. Even so, he's very dangerous as seen in the preview. So, next episode looks really intense. Also, the title "Virtual Bride" and him saying, "She's... She's my..." before ending. 5/5. |

koolvid said: I think they used alcohol which they found from the supply case though. And it's only first-aid anyway, I doubt alcohol is gonna be enoughHybridbloodszak said: They get away from the lizards but Taira-san got bit in the process. I think in real life if someone got bit by a komodo dragon the saliva would've acted a lot faster than it did here, their mouths are just covered in bacteria from a class I remembered I've been seeing a lot of comments of people complaining how slow it's going since the length is only 13 episodes but I personally don't mind it. Just gives me all the more reason for a season 2 : ) It wouldn't have acted a lot faster but you can't disinfect a komodo dragon bite with just water. He should die in a few days if doesn't get medical help/antibiotics |
 |
| I don't remember if it was said in the manga but how does Sakamoto know that Taira collected the chips from the corpses? |
Zhou said: I don't remember if it was said in the manga but how does Sakamoto know that Taira collected the chips from the corpses? He still doesn't know it right? in the anime. |
| I hate that the episodes come out only once a week. This whole anime is made to be marathoned. Another awesome episode and the next one looks intense. Really looking forward to it. |
 |
| WTF! Tyrannos is being cheap by monitoring the game with only 3 monitors? I was expecting some big-ass command and control center with lots of big displays on the wall and maybe a lot more staff than a single sleep-deprived technician. This girl needs some serious sex time to get over her psychological trauma. LOL |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
AiCon said: Damn, I was hoping teyd stop somewhere and then continue with a second season... so unfair ...From what I heard, they're going for an anime original ending . |
katzer said: People who are complaining about Himiko should realize that she's only a 15 years old girl who saw her friends get raped and one day she is kidnapped and wakes up in the middle of a death game in a island in the middle of nowhere, and in the first day a fat guy tries to rape her. So how will she be okay with that and trust men? Agreed. The one thing I don't like about this show is that a character who has experienced sexual abuse/harassment is still being outright objectified. It seems hypocritical to me and it undermines anything positive the show might be saying about people dealing with these kinds of issues. It's no wonder her character has garnered this reaction from people. |

Didn't he say Himiko would have the 8 chips needed to leave the island if she killed him and Taira.. how does that figure with her only carrying 3 types of BIMs unless he knows Taira has been collecting them? Exactly. |

Exactly. Taira-san got 3 chips, right? Including his and Sakamoto's, that should be 5 chips. Himiko only got 1 chip, right? Please correct me if I'm missing something... |
| Even if a season two came up, it would be at least 2 years later. There's simply not enough source material and the manga is slow. The synopsis seemed interesting so I went to read the manga, it started out pretty nice but somehow lost some steam somewhere, maybe too slow for action based series. The romance part built up nicely though. Read what was out but don't think I'm following it anymore. I'm looking forward to an anime original end. |
 |
| Girl: Oh the lizards stopped chasing us? I guess I can stop pretending to be unconscious now and climb up the ladder myself. |
| I could not take my eyes off from the screen.A great episode indeed. |
 |
| Um. This episode was alright. Taking it slow, I see. The anime overall is also alright. I sense a little bullshit and with all of the ecchiness and retarded, drastic ways that the blonde whines about not trusting men is a bit annoying. I don't even like her character. |
 |
| Well, the komodo dragons was a bit stupid, and i always tought that one would die if got bitten by a komodo dragon due to the enourmous amount of toxines it have in his mouth... an average episode. Ps: Am I the only one around here that don't like the old fat guy? |
| ^ Yeah, he's a pretty likable, relatable dude. But not liking things makes you cooler on the Internet, I guess. As much as I dislike her character, the blonde character is an accurate representation of how some women treat being groped in present society. They gain a lot of social support and power from doing so, too, especially in the court system. Rape is horrible but the way people are treating it is like they find it to be a worse crime than genocide or murder, obviously worse crimes. If I get missed by a drunk driver, I'll consider it a close scrape with a bad outcome and move on with my life probably by the next day. Just getting your goddamn boobs rubbed is a simple scrape, not the actual thing. Curse the person who did it, sure, but get the fuck over it. |
| Nice episode this. The lizards were unepxected enemies and how they killed them was a good strategy. Now to watch next episode. |
