Itoukaiji said: Ryouta's characterization is just as bad and really lacks balls. At first it seemed like the show wanted him to be an unlikable douchebag, but then on the island his actions don't represent that and it's not because of character growth because there has been none of that. And it's hard to believe he had this secret nice side when he was such a shit head that his own mother sent him to die in this death game. It's fine to have an anti-hero for a protagonist, but to pussyfoot around and try make him both a douchebag and a hero willing to put himself on the line for others doesn't work. The biggest disapointment with this anime. Decent episode though the romance isn't interesting at all. |
SkyTate said: That lawyer is just plain noob. I wish Kousuke was the one to kill him though. The melting mercenary was just disgusting but that requires some epic shit to even move while you're being decomposed (?). atseira said: Wow. Our hero got some luck! He survived falling from the cliff. He could catch the BIM calmly and prevented it from exploding (you could say that's because he's in badass mode, but uh, is there any feature in the game to catch BIM?). I thought that the BIM should explode on impact... doesn't contact with his hands = impact? Still... Sakamoto was pretty badass this ep. Hell yeah the episode was intense. I always feel bad for Taira. He always gets injured badly. The emotions of the main cast is pretty realistic compared to most animes I really like that. The fear of being left alone would be something everyone would be scared to deal with. The premise of this anime reminds me exactly like a psp japanese game called Dangon Ronpa which everyone is trapped in the school the only way to survive is to kill the others in order to graduate lol but the mc is like sakamoto is defies the rules and tries to find a way out anyone who like Btooom should check it out |
| Wow, we got some action up in here! |
| Nice episode :D So the game was actually arranged for/by those rich people. I'm guessing it's a betting game. |
| Aw, why didnt she say she was the Himiko from "BTOOM!"? I wanted to see weird nerd romance! 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. |
| Oh ffs. The MC is even getting more retarded.. and the consistency to some extent regarding that as well. Too bad this anime itself - with all lack of originality - isn't so bad that I'd drop it at the moment. Still I don't know how much stupidity I can overlook until then. Trying to bargain with some rambo-like guy. Sure.. as if you could sleep when you know he's nearby.. Ah, wth. I just leave it at that today. |

miksteyp said: Good episode. Sakamoto did a douche move by leaving the old man there on his own like that. But hey he thought she was Himiko so he needed to save her. Really though.. It's still a douche move either way. You made a promise to that guy to stick by his side. But, at the same time, the guy should grow a pair. He really depends on Sakamoto way too much. Sorayin said: Personality isn't very consistent... LOL. How consistent would your personality be on an island where people have bombs and are trying to kill you? |

| This is the gore-iest anime this fall season. O_O God dayum, that part where Masashi grabbed Himiko's legs... I'm glad Natsume died too. He was very annoying. I enjoyed this episode overall. One question: How do they get the radar jewel thingys after someone dies in an explosion? o_o Like, Masashi died in the burning gas but do the main characters go back to the place he died to retrieve the jewels? |

Yup. It comes off when the body dies. That's why the mercenary said it'd be a pain to go get the chip later because Sakamoto fell down the cliff. |
| One of the best animes of the season. |
| My favourite episode of Btooom! so far. Sakamoto was epic in this episode. Especially when he caught that BIM. The picture of Miyamoto's melting skin was intense. Even more intense than manga. And the story is progressing really fast. |
| This episode made me shiver..... |
 |
| Great episode packed with a lot of action. That Mercenary was kinda stupid though. He captured Himiko but he let her go to fight with Sakamoto, even though he knew Himiko was dangerous too. Maybe he thought she couldn't do anything harmful, but still he as a mercenary and soldier should know that you should never lose sight of one of your enemies. Taira is weak, but he is a good guy. He was trying to protect Sakamoto even though he knows he's weaker than that mercenary. I wonder if he's still sane though when Sakamoto and Himiko get back. I wonder what this loophole is in the game. I also wonder why the game is made. I don't think it was made purely on entertainments intentions, because the people watching the game were all behind monitors. I hope we'll find out soon. |
 |
| Best episode so far. Sakamoto just shows how mature he has gotten and Himiko keeps gaining his trust. |
 |
| Epic Episode...... :D 4.5/5 |
 |
| I love survive games |
 |
| This episode was bad ass, I loved the fact that they didn't pussy out and left everything uncensored. One thing was really stupid though, how the hell that can nerd make that awesome wall jump? Main plot seems to be going really fast right now, and is Himiko offering her first time to Sakamoto in the preview or what? Isn't that a bit fast? Next episode will have some action too or at least some interesting story, I'm looking forward to it. |

Kurogashi said: why didnt he kill taira if he wanted the chip? stupid mercenary. and sakamoto is pretty damn fit for a gamer who's 'wasted his life on games'. then again himiko is a babe- sigh, anime logic. Some people just have it in their genes. I've got a friend who eats chocolate and stuff every single day, (and is a NEET) and she doesn't gain weight. AT ALL. She's like a stick. This episode was so intense. That melting skin. -shudders- |

| Good episode this one. Though I don't get why the merc didn't just kill the old Osaka dude and get his jewel. |

| Very good episode. I think 'Himiko' will trust him a bit more now XD. I get the feeling she is the real Himiko but refused to admit it. This is sort of like a mix between The Hunger Games and Swordart Online. A nice mix =D. |

| Late question.... Did everyone that was sent to the survival game play BTOOOM!? Or was it just a coincidence that Sakamoto, the psycho kid, and Himiko had prior experience with the game beforehand? I can't imagine the lawyer or Taira-san playing the game in their free time. |

Just a coincidence, a lot of people from the island never played BTOOOM!. Only way to be send to the island is if people recommend you to go there, there is no need to play BTOOOM! for that to happen. |

Coincidence I think so too. Just look at that clueless mercenary. |
| Great episode, I really enjoyed it. Glad that annoying lawyer guy died and they got rid of that mercenary. They should probably start collecting the chips since they are killing others, it seems kind of a waste just to leave the chips around. Also Taira should start being more independent, seeing him cry while Sakamoto leave kind of made him an annoying character. |
| The mercenary made only two mistakes and it cost him: Leaving Himiko alone while he fought Sakamoto and forgetting the timers on the bomb were only three seconds. |
| Another in game marriage fantasy? I dropped SWO because of this nonsense. I hope this doesn't become a fashion in the real world. 1/5 |
| I still dont get why the mercenary left Taira behind . was it explained in the manga or something ? I can already see Taira becoming insane and trick and betray Sakamoto .He still have those chips right ? And tough mercenary is tough . He was still able to move even his melting faster than an ice cream . And to those that said that the gas was spreading too slow inside the building , well think again . There's no wind / atleast strong enough to spread the gas . Unlike when they used it outside which obviously has strong enough wind for it to spread . But I was actually surprised that Sakamoto can do a wall jump despite being a NEET . And Im glad that Himiko didnt told him that it she's really the real Himiko . If she did told him in that ep , I could had smashed my screen .Too much cheesiness . Next up , more psycho , awesomeness , and BTOOOM! |
 |
| An interesting episode, yes. Do you think blondie lied about never playing along with famous Sakamoto? Why would she lie though? >___> cause it is her. |

Sakamoto finds her phone. Picture of her in a Theta Cosplay titled with Himiko. That's the costume his virtual wife is wearing. His wifes name is Himiko as well. The RL Himiko said herself she played Btooom! with that same name. They look alike. Users sharing the same name? I can't even remember when I could choose a name that wasn't unique within a game/server for years now. Connect the dots. Sakamoto couldn't. If that's not cheesy, what is? |

| 5/5 Great episode. But ugh, I wish Himiko could get killed off or something. She's practically useless and she's a dumb, ungrateful bitch. She has yet to thank Sakamoto for saving her multiple times. |
 |
| Felt kinda rushed but the manga's pace wasn't any different, Masashi was one hell of an opponent. archer_shirou01 said: I still dont get why the mercenary left Taira behind . was it explained in the manga or something ? He thought Taira would die anyway, so he left him. He still have those chips right ? I believe so. |
| Miyamoto's one craaazzy dude! She lied to Sakamoto about not being Himiko. I can't believe... so much people are there watching them losing their lives, like it's a game! I would love to see the outcome of all of this. |
Itoukaiji said: This show is so confused about what it wants to be. It tries to be dark and intense but instead is nothing but a trashy, exploitative mess. It could work as a dumb action series but it fails at the basics of storytelling and characterization. The characters are so inconsistent it's a joke. The lawyer was fairly normal if a bit sleazy the last time we saw him but now he's a full on insane pervert. I could by that if they'd been on the island for more than a couple of days and we'd actually seen the change in him, but with the route the show took it just felt random and lazy. Ryouta's characterization is just as bad and really lacks balls. At first it seemed like the show wanted him to be an unlikable douchebag, but then on the island his actions don't represent that and it's not because of character growth because there has been none of that. And it's hard to believe he had this secret nice side when he was such a shit head that his own mother sent him to die in this death game. It's fine to have an anti-hero for a protagonist, but to pussyfoot around and try make him both a douchebag and a hero willing to put himself on the line for others doesn't work. This show is far too trashy and incompetent to handle a sensitive topic like rape and I cringe every time the girl is on screen because she's not a character but an object that all the male characters are trying to take advantage of. Rape being used for nothing other than titillation is pretty sick and doesn't treat it with the seriousness or respect that it deserves. The action is okay, but nothing really special and with the paper thin story, plot conveniences and just plain god awful characterization I can't be bothered to give two shits about any of the action. The BIMs seem to work randomly depending on what the plot calls for and the story barely seems to hang together enough to get us from one action scene to the next. The thing is I can enjoy a dumb action movie but it needs to have at least some consistency and internal logic. This show is completely devoid of those things which makes it feel like a bunch of random occurrences that are just meant to throw more gore and trashy sexuality on the screen. I guess the only slightly redeeming thing about the show is it's fun to make fun of and you could probably make one hell of a drinking game out of all of the inconsistencies and plot conveniences.

| That was an excellent episode. It had lots of good action (with a former mercenary), and Himiko is now more at ease with Sakamoto, especially with knowledge that he is likely her in-game husband. That was definitely action-packed and intense. The lawyer was destined to die easily. As for the old guy left behind (forgot his name), I hope they go back for him and that he didn't lose hope in them. Next episode looks good, with a "new threat". 5/5. |
 |
| oh himeko why do you lie ^^ ah ah fine ep : ) |

| Great episode, with a great fight. I loved the mercenary, but the end that he finds was great! Also, i love how the relationships between the main characters become evolving in a better way. I wish to see again the little psyco-boy XD Himeko, you're are a poker face XD |
 |
| And that's the end of that asshole. I wonder why Himiko is hiding the fact that she is indeed the one Sakamoto married in the game though. |

Or was it just a coincidence that Sakamoto, the psycho kid, and Himiko had prior experience with the game beforehand? I can't imagine the lawyer or Taira-san playing the game in their free time. The anime and manga both introduced how the players came to the island right? They were suggested by people who hated them. So imagine a mix of people being brought to an island. And therefore you correct. Both the lawyer or Taira never had experience in it cause it is just a random jumbo of people. The author probably wanted some players to have played BTOOOM before so it can balance it out. Because say if 3/4 of the players never played and didnt have "wild beast instincts" to kill, then they would just have people who are scared, sitting around like how Taira was at the beginning. That would be a boring intro and many would probably drop the anime. |
