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.

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.
Not in the least... Himiko wouldn't of even been introduced more than just that tiny scene after she was nearly raped....

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..


I disagree with the


Spoilers above, don't click to non-manga readers. I actually hate bringing spoilers into an anime discussion. :(

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.


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..

Kousuke is one really screwed up kid. I was like wft when I read that he killed those women before raping them and again when I heard it just now. Still, after getting a glimpse of what his father put him through, it's no wonder why he turned out that way. I was actually glad to see him kill his father. since he's one of the people in the island who actually deserved to be killed.

People surviving explosions at close range is just few of those things that you have to ignore in order to enjoy this show. If it was realistic then people would be throwing those bombs far away so they won't get hit with their own bombs as well as keeping distance from the other player. We also wouldn't get to see them getting close up to one another and seeing their reactions at they fight to survive.

Great episode with lots of action.

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.



hahaha now I want to read the manga too...

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ah yeah, should've got rid of the s - my mistake on seeing scene as information. The cop scene is indeed additional, but likely only to avoid seeing a kid violate a dead person hence they needed to explain it instead of show it.

Great fight scene...wow the main character in this show is a moron.
The new kid introduced was OK I guess, he was a pretty good character but the more he spoke it seemed the less I liked him, I don't hate the kid but he isn't one of my favorites.
Also let me add I am glad that they left out the rape scene with Kira, I mean there is a difference between censorship and good taste, showing a 14 year old boy raping the corpse of a woman is well, not something I and i'm sure a lot of other people don't want to see.
Seriously what is it with this show and rape? First We get episode 2 with the female leads backstory in which her friends are raped, then the fat guy implies he raped someone and that's why he was on the island and now Kira is a necrophiliac, that is 3 occasions in 4 episodes. It really comes across at this point that the writer needs new ideas for character backstories.

I guess people bring up SAO in Btooom discussion is because of the similarity found - both have the setting based on network games (though in SAO's case it is virtual while Btoom is in real world) and both have a survival theme, and as in SAO there is a love story going on which involve two of the game participants.

Another episode in which Sakamoto shows (to some extent) how much of an idiot he is..
Gosh, that attitude of him is so annoying. Kill or get killed. So simple.
If he doesn't want to actively kill someone by hunting the green sensors, fine. Would be a stupid anime if there's a pro killer and it would give a very negative image for all gamers anyway.
But not even when he's getting attacked? With bombs? Come on..

Pretty much this. But if one really thinks about it, the two shows are quite different in theme. Many anime viewers who are utterly dissatisfied by SAO likely expected it to be another survival game anime, while it never actually focused on that; SAO is much more about the adventure and the romance than the survival theme. I think people would enjoy the show more if they would treat it like an adventure/romance show, instead of a survival game thriller, because like I said, that's not what SAO is about at all.
