| Came for the curvaceous blonde Himiko. Got fat, farting guy from Osaka instead. At least now we have an explanation for what is happening on the island. |

nina4life said: So 50% of gamers are hardcore killers which kill without second thought when told there's no other way by their kidnappers. Damn, I really gotta stop playing video games. It's not that I don't like this show, but really, logic behind it makes me sick. You're quite off, actually. That's how human psyche works - you may now state that no matter what, you would absolutely never eat a rat. That is incorrect. You would, if only the preconditions were right: starvation, exhaustion, and the lack of other resources. The urge to live is probably the strongest determinant to make a human being commit inhumane... or even inhuman acts. If someone had you at gunpoint, and offered you life for pulling a trigger at someone else... it's probable that you would decline. Because there's no process of assimilation in it. However, if the setting is as presented in this series (or, for instance, in Battle Royale) you have enough time to change your values and priorities. Or rather, it's not you changing them consciously, but your self-preservation innate behaviour rewrites them without your direct control over the process. If placed in a long-term situation in which the only option to avoid death is to kill, most human beings would break and adjust themselves. The logic behind it is definitely not null and void, it makes sense and holds water - if you disagree, sorry: you're the one in the wrong. |

| finally, a good looking, i mean, a seemingly strong guy appeared. and that kid, looks creepy and scary all at the same time. great ep :) i really like the OP. im getting addicted to it ^^ |
"Either Die as a Hero... or live long enough to see yourself becoming the villain..." |
| Things are finally getting interesting. At least we now know how the whole game started. That guy in the end is a confirmed psycho after watching the preview. Looking forward to Himiko and Ryouta actually meeting. |
 |
| Damn, this is good. Also, another psychotic kid joins the fray. Let's see how this goes. |
| I like the older guy. He brings some much needed comedic relief. |
| 'I stepped in my own shit, I don't wanna die like this' A truer statement has yet to be found! |
 |
| That was a good episode, I like the way things are going. Something to comment on, though, is that they are still surprised by what they see. So it seems that not everyone has adapted yet. Anyway, I guess we'll see more characters next time. This series reminds me of Gantz. It's a game sort-of concept, but it also sows the inhumane qualities of people. 4/5. |
 |
| boom ! gimme back the blond girl <.< ! |

 |
| better than last ep... no rape.. YAY |
  |
| Back to main story line, yay. Awwww yeah. Incoming crazy kid, which is when shit starts to get real. So far this adaptation is good and true to he manga. |
| So far everything's kinda cliche but i felt a hint of death note when i looked at Sakamoto's face when that fat guy was talking. Im interested to see where things go from here. |
| Great episode. Taira and Ryota finally meet. Food coming down via parachute scene was awesome. Oda is serious business. Man Ryota had some badass facial expressions, reminded me of Light from Death Note. Then again he does look like him. xD Awww yeaaah! Psychotic kid, Kira appears next episode. Sawashiro Miyuki voicing him made me fangasm rofl. Man I can't wait for episode 4. >=D |
 |
| The bomb trap dude looks strong and a serious competition while the kid in the end and in the preview is in need of therapy and counseling. XD |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| O.o a food war yhis time. And they explain how they go to de island. Now its time to watch episode 4. |
| I liked this episode way more than the last one. |
 |
| I'm going to have a hard time not hearing Inaban... |
| Man okay I guess that explains state of mind in episode one but man oh man that was a risky move by the anime creators. The main guy gave off the impression he was really dumb but now by episode 3 I guess he's okay. But I still don't like episode 2 and the girls even though they are high schoolers they are dumb. The long hair guy with sunglasses looks like a smooth dude lol. He reminds me of Guyver 3. |
| Really beginning to like the OP now. This episode shed a lot of light on to what's happening. I love watching survival games so I'm looking forward to how it plays out. Next ep looks killer with the minor. |
| Easily the best episode so far. Now I'm starting to get absorbed. I especially like the concept of chasing after food parachutes that could have bombs nearby, and not knowing what type of bombs you'll be getting. And I like the old man as a character a lot too, he's real chill. |
| Why did he shake his hand...? |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| yeah this episode actually seemed a little slower in pace than the first two which i appreciated, but still had the action at the end, and of course introducing a couple new characters so yeah I'm kinda bedding into it now xD |
| ohh a nice fella that's actually not into killing appears but he seems very ominous |
 |
| Nice buildup in story, I rather thought he would be teaming up with that girl but well at least he teamed up with something and we've got some backstory what actually got them there in the first place. Lets see what's next! |
 |
| He has to drill this into his head: When your life is on the line, you trust nobody. |
 |
| Back to this series for a bit of marathoning. It actually seems better than I thought it was back in October, although I'm a bit ambivalent about the whole battle royal survival game genre (particularly when it involves women). I haven't read the manga yet, but that should be no handicap since folks are quite happy to provide all the information you want (or don't want for that matter) in spoilers. And I believe that the old guy is just a real estate trader from Osaka, yeah right--that would be enough to get him sent to this island for the game.... Once you accept that everyone who has been sent to this island has a reason for it--you'll learn that you can't trust appearances. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Man, if I got landmine as my weapon it would be really hard to use it offensively. But he did it! XD |

| Yeah, Definately Liking this Anime. Will watch it in no Time :) It's only 12 Episodes so :) |
 For some Reason, The Signature Doesn't Update, So just click to see. |
| Sakamoto is rather conflicting - one minute wanting to play, then wondering how can people play this game. I'm not a fan of such young kids being in the game though, even if this one seems demented. This anime is a bit similar to Battle Royale, but I don't mind. They haven't turned it into anime. |
| Its not complete without a crazy one and a cool evil one. That episode was decent. |
 |
| Another awesome episode. |
| MC reminds me of Light. o.o His faces, his thinking, even his voice. Hm. Interesting. And he obviously looks like Light but every Madhouse MC looks like Light so... |
| Things are getting very interesting. |
  |
| So far this is a great anime. Kiyoshi Taira (old guy) is one funny guy. Wonder what the crazy kid is gonna do. Kousuke.... |
Saskee said: Things are getting very interesting. |
| im so enjoying this anime sakamoto rucks |
| This show has really been hitting the high notes for me these first few episodes, The main thing I am looking forward to seeing is the reasons why some of these characters were sent to the island in the first place. |
| Well that girl ran away because she hates men now. But will she change? It looks like he got a partner but hopefully he doesn't betray him... |
[center] *>.>[Spoiler][/spoiler]<.<* [center] |
| pretty good so far. not trusting the older guy |
| I like the old guy. He plays dumb even if he's fucking smart. The kid from the preview looks very hardcore too. I wonder when Himiko will join Ryouta's team. (Most likely she will.) |
 |
| I'm sure that the old guy will die soon :( |
  |
| Battle Royale was better. But eve nalong the seemingly similar plot line, this show was funny. I mean honestly now, there wer 30 people on that plane with no more than 10 guards with stun guns...and this all happened anyways. HI..>LARIOUS! |
| That old guy, I wouldn't underestimate him. He's pretty though and I think that comes because of his job. Anyways was an very interesting and revealing episode. Now we know why there on the island and what they have to do to get back home. Sad enough that they had to kill each other. That kid at the end omg, that's pretty creepy. And now I don't have a good feeling for this old guy :( PS: Is it just me or looked this guy who explained the rules like a fat Ash from Pokemon? O.o |
