| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ----------------------------------------  A murder in the beginning, ouch. Also, some information revealed about that kid, Kira from last time. His life seems pretty crude but he is crude as well as he uses a wind type weapon for his choice of attack. Nice fight also :P. Gf, kid? Looks like Himeko returns next time also and I'm looking forward to their fight. |

| dammmmnn that kid has balls to say the least ._. |
| Awesome episode. :3 |
 Easily its best episode and they even threw in an music track with vocals. The action was just stunning, fast paced, and explosive, best BIM in this one, and intense, all the characters finally acted like the competent Btooom! players they were built to being, and we even got the anime's coolest character. Kousuke needs way more screentime. I didnt like the conclusion though thought he would join Sakamoto's party, not be tied up and be left alone there |

| This episode is the BEST!! Glad that kid finally beaten there. |
 |
| To be honest the manga is the best, but they just don't have enough material to cover everything. :D I didn't care about the introducent of that psycho boy, what he did. Sakamoto caught a little brain damage and thought he was in some kind of virtual reality, that's his usually skills when he play the game Btooom! Yeah I can't wait to see Himiko, that's the best part going to be and when he.... Not going to spoiler anything so better read the manga. Himiko that hates males, such a trauma but raw manga is so nice. Sakamoto VS Himiko (Preview) :D Duh people are watching at crunchyroll so they got a few hours early. |

| Sakamoto x Himiko next week :3 Is this still keeping true to the manga? I really don't care as long as those two're good but just wondering. |

Himiko wouldn't of even been introduced more than just that tiny scene after she was nearly raped....Sakamoto x Himiko next week :3 Is this still keeping true to the manga? I really don't care as long as those two're good but just wondering. Honestly thinking of dropping this anime... It's not bad, but it doesn't work well as an adaptation the manga and in terms of quality pacing, even to the point where I can say it's nearly nonexistent... Only three good characters in this series apart from the two mains are the creepy glasses guy (I believe he was formerly a Doctor...), Oda, and Kira... All of the others die early on anyway... Not even a spoiler there... That's just the common formula of survival manga.. |

| The manga is pretty good and this isn't BAD but some things are amiss. Probably not much Himiko until a bit later. |
| My Anime Blog: http://www.Entravity.com/ Episodic overviews of the latest anime. |
| Awesome episode, nice additional scenes in the beginning to show how psycho Kira really is, also the fight was nicely animated, tho just like in the manga it still makes you go WTF a little as to how he survived, but well whatever, still a good episode. |
 |
| This show is obviously faster paced than the manga but honestly I don't even care. It's something fun to watch and not take completely seriously imo. |
 |
| well that father deserved what he got. the kid was rather sick as well. the lawyer got the hell out of there. ah well. more Himiko will be nice. |
 |
| meh.. how is that little bastard still alive?? |
  |
| Finally Sakamoto revealed his true skills in being a BTOOOM! player. Kira - WTF? Killed Then Raped?! Absolutely nuts; Though the coolest character in the anime. The Best Episode So Far |
 |
| God Damn! This show is some heavy shit! Loving every minute! Can't help but feel sorry for that little fucker. Damn, that grab was just...ouch. I actually cringed. Haven't done that during an anime since Higurashi! |
 |
 |
| Wait... what? Killing and raping women? I was like isn't that backwards? Then cop says it too, hehe. Those bombs are annoyingly weak. There more like firecrackers instead of bombs. Not even exploding a few inches from your face they can kill. Sakamoto's kill-mode. I wish it was that easy. You just go "I'm awesomesauce at CoD so Imma just throw this tomahawk and kill someone a few miles away". It was cool though. |

PervisumChaos said: There was no additional information, all of it was shown in the manga or known. The anime took a less direct route in presenting Kira's past instead of showing him well, you know. Sigh....I said additional scene not additional info (should have taken out the s as i didn't mean it to be plural) and it was an additional scene, the cop scene wasn't in the manga, in the manga they simply showed the rape of the dead girl instead. |
|
| God, the 14 year old kid killed THEN raped 3 women?! Gods sake that's up there on the psycho list. And how do they have the kind of technology for his bombs?! XD Nasty way to kill the Dad, but god did he deserve it. But how did the kid survive an explosion at point blank range lol xD |
 If you really want to fit in, just put Legend of the Galactic Heroes in your top 5 and have it be the only 10-rated anime in your list. |

I think I like the alternative the anime took, I'm not sure how many more rape scene's I could put up with after the second episode.. |

My Grandmother Always said.. He who walks through the path of heaven will rule over everything.. |
| It's pretty crazy to think a 14 year old killing then raping 3 women. Imagine a classmate in highschool(primary school depending on where you're from) doing all that. Him doing all of that shit so young makes me kind of appreciate my parents a little more X D I know it's a cartoon but still. Cool fight between Kosuke and Sakamoto. It was pretty interesting to see Sakamoto's brain snap under the pressure and make him think he was just playing a game but then he goes back into reality just before he finishes Kosuke off. If I were in his shoes I honestly wouldn't know if I would've cracked like he did. I really liked the music this week whether it was during the fight or just in the off moments before the battle. They had a standoff kind of feel to it. Yay for Himeko and Sakamoto next week! |
| man those bombs are pretty weak to have not killed him lol |
| Uh guys, why don't the manga reader make a new discussion thread talking about how good the adaptation from manga is. I really don't like people comparing manga and anime in anime-viewers-only discussion. Spoilers are easily be everywhere when some manga-readers jumped in. An evaluation of the adaptation is of course needed, but it would be better in a new thread; with the manga-readers only there, the discussion is should be more effective and they don't need to hear the opinions of the unknowing anime-viewers-only. I, haven't read the manga, found the anime is quite enjoyable. |
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live. |
| The crotch grab made me wince. |
| Kousuke is going to be mai husbando. Ohhhhh my. Amazing episode. |
| Gah, I love that kid! Awesome episode. |
 |
| This episode caught a lot of my attention. Getting to see that kid's family life was something new since I'm not in an abusive family relationship. I'm kind of glad that the kid didn't end up teaming up with Sakamoto, it wouldn't have felt right if he did. I want to watch the new episode because yus, Himiko is going to be in it. |
| Now that is a very unique bomb. Implosion type? Awesome. Sakamoto is really a genius. He now have 3 types of BIMs. The old guy collected the green chip. Can't wait for next ep. Himiko will join our crew! |

Evanjs said: Sakamoto x Himiko next week :3 Is this still keeping true to the manga? I really don't care as long as those two're good but just wondering. It is keeping true to the manga. It's just that they showed Himiko's story earlier. But that doesn't really change anything to the story. The pacing is good, they are not skipping any important part. It's just that we don't know how it's gonna end with just 12 episodes because volume 9 isn't translated yet. There's a possibility of them doing a unique ending. A sequel is the best choice in my opinion though. It's a great adaptation to say the least. About the episode, MIYUKI'S VOICE! Suits Kira very well. That was BA! |
| THAT MGS3 NUT CHECK, the more i watch this the more eff up it gets, also why does the o shit horror leg trip alway happen in chase it played out to all hell. and that kid is fuck up but not as much as his dad. MJ HEHE |
| Wait, I don't understand. Why is it weird for someone to rape a woman only after killing her? I thought raping a dead person was easier, since the corpse won't actually shout for help or struggle, etc. Back to topic, wow. The abuse scenes are actually worse in the anime than in the manga. I actually winced and had to grab my non-existent balls when Kousuke's father grabbed his crotch there. So far I'm liking how they did Kousuke in the anime. Not sure if we'll be able to see him again since this anime is only going to have 12 episodes. In the manga, Kousuke didn't appear again until like 30 chapters later. Next episode, Himiko teams up with Taira and Sakamoto. I don't want to spoil anything, but lemme just say that there'll be a lot of suspense in the next episode. |

And these days you can hear her voice acting almost everywhere! Just the last and this season... Kokoro Connect, Himeko Inaba Moyashimon Returns, Marie Jinrui wa Suitaishimashita, Y Btooom!, Kosuke Kira Psycho-Pass, Shion Karanomori K, Seri Awashima Medaka Box Abnormal, Naze Youka |
| 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. |
| I never read the manga so I find this anime just fine xD Love it ;p And that boy sure is tenacious... |
| Ah this anime is turning out great!! Reading the manga for this, and the anime is just as good I think. ^^ Brilliant fighting scenes, it sucks that this only getting 12 ep's but I guess that means that every episode will be awesome :3 Can't wait for the next ep, looks like himiko should be playing a main role in it :D |
| Just forgot - I think its jazz soundtrack is pretty cool, not least because jazz soundtrack is not used that often in anime. |

| Kira Kousuke's awaken Yagami Light |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
