Will there be a 2nd season? I noticed that it's only 1 episode left and it seems to be a bit too many enemies left maybe?

Yeah there is a 2nd season that should end it all but the manga are there for what was not in the anime, dialogue wise.

There shall be. Himiko is way too popular with this episode. More of this series is needed for future shows of her.

Was that scene with Himiko and the bomb supposed to be erotic? Because that must have been one of the funniest fan service I've ever seen.

This was full of SURPRISES!!! I absolutely loved this episode...the action filled scenes got my off my seat! And love that we get to see a bit more of Himiko's skin and a BIM bouncing off her strong-ass booob! *for a second, I thought that her boobs had an effect on the BIM, u know, to disable* until I got thrilled knowing that he was still aliiive!!!!

I can sense a fan enraging ending here..... knowing how most animes are going at the moment this'll only be 1 series or if it isn't it'll be "too be continued" but a 2nd season won't be seen untill like 4-5 years later, BUT REALLY COME THE DAMN HELL ON THEY COUDN'T MAKE THIS A 24 EPISODE SERIES ?

If there's one thing that PISSES me off more than anything in anime, is when a character "looses all resolve" to fight back. I mean seriously, if you're going to die, die fighting. OMG Himiko gets me so angry!
But her boobs makes it LESS rageful for me. e.e

Save by the boob. LOL.

But seriously, what happened to the badass and determined Himiko. She's suddenly turned into a damsel in distress type.

I'm annoyed now that it's dawned on me that there won't be closure and probably I'll have to wait for a second season.

I have a bad feeling about letting Date live…
Also, I didn't want to believe the change in Taira, and I still don't want to either. I'm not surprised if it went down that route.

Well done Himiko for deploying the perfect mix of attack and defense. Consider me entertained.

The ever so famous Boobs against Bombs has arrived. When I read the manga and finished reading it all (at least what has been translated up to), and I read that scene, I just knew that if it ever received an anime, Madhouse would do it. And the announcement is made and whaddaya know, Madhouse is doing it. Not that I have any problems with that, I think Madhouse is a top-tier animation studio. I have loved every bit of Btooom's animation so far.

Sadly, I believe we're going to get a MASSIVE cliffhanger after this. Unless a sudden "Season 2 in Progress" comes up soon, then Btooom will most likely with a BONES-esqe ending.

This episode, though, I loved. Everything was depicted awesomely. Himiko's depression after the belief of Ryota dying, Shiki's battle with Date, and Ryota's return. And seeing Ryota finally leave his naive 'I trust anyone' phase made me happy. I had been waiting for it for so long now. And as of last episode, we can see that Himiko is about the only person Ryota should trust right now, after that ending with Taira.

I'm personally excited to see how the next (and last) episode is done. I'm hoping they'll put closure between Ryota finding out Himiko is the Himiko, so forth. Action has been great, as always.

The Boob Bounce will become a trademark icon defining Btooom. It was all emotional, accepting her death from a bomb and then (bounce) I was like "wut"
I don't know if it's just me but Shiki looked like a shinigami when she was about to slice Date. I don't think even this will really change Date from being merciless and from using people. Letting him live will bite everyone back in the butt.

I completely agree. I hope Datte will kill all of them and make a good evil laugh before "The End" black screen.

Not sure about manga pacing (which might make all this action a bit better) but there were so many facepalm moments in these last few episodes. Madhouse, I'm disappointed. And here i thought this is one of the better series of the season.

I thought this anime was low budget to be honest so I wasn't expecting something fantastic. Didn't like this episode though. Still watchable though lol

This was lolwtf, really? xD

Anyhow! The episode was good. I knew Ryota would survive as it is abvious at this point xD. I was waiting for Date to get what was coming to him, but was I the only one annoyed he didn't actually die?

Next episode looks to be really interesting. I was suspicious of the betrayal but wasn't sure, and thought since he was crippled he couldn't do anything anyway, but we will see ;O.

Only one more epsiode, so I guess we won't get a proper conclusion. I hope we get a 2nd season though.

Well, next episode is the last, and also seems to be the very interesting. Also, I think it was love that stopped Shiki from killing Date. Still, I WANTED HER TO AT LEAST CUT OFF HIS HEAD THAT HAD THE GREEN THING(CAN'T REMEMBER NAME) OFF! And give to Himiko. Then, they will have succeeded in gaining a new one. And they can potentially go even further in a shorter time. Also, it would mean Date would suffer what Shiki had to suffer because of him. Am I the only one who likes this idea? Still, at that last part, was I the only who got weirded out at both the hole thing in the hand, and Taiga-san's face in Ryouta's mental pictures of him?

Making the fat ojisan the "last boss" of this series is a bit lame, but I guess it can't be helped given that it is how the story progresses in the manga.

At least since the last 2 episodes we get to see Himiko and Sakamoto hold hands at the end of the OP instead of barely touching their fingers. Will Sakamoto get to know the Himiko he is talking to is the Himiko he married in the game before this series ends?
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.

The trademark of BTOOOM! It's not the bombs , not the blood , it's the Boobs vs Bombs action alright .
But honestly , that was quite unexpected .Himiko's reaction was ♥ .(lol). But Date's reaction was way better . XDD

And that part where Ryouta threw that case outside ,I was like,"omfg , MC plot armour is just ..." then it missed that opening of the window "LOLOMGWTFROFLBBQ , he's fcked." then I suddenly noticed the opening leading to the floor below ,then he instinctively jumped there "Well .... ok , I guess that's good enough ." Well atleast , he had injuries now and that should make those that hate Ryouta for his plot armour shut up .

And again , as usual , Himiko is being Himiko this episode . Her resolve getting smashed that easily , but I can understand . She might just be regretting that she didnt told him about her being the real Himiko and such before Ryouta "died" . But still , Himiko is still one of the best female MC out there .'nuff said .

And to those that hated the shower scene at the end , I think you can just brush it off in the side because every anime needs a scene like this or two to appeal to the typical japanese otaku ,just like *cough* SAO *cough*
~♥

A funny but decent episode , looking forward to the next and the last one . And the title is "Bonds" ? I wonder how theyll gonna finish this with a cliffhanger . And I really hope to see this anime again in the making after 1-2 years , after they have acquired enough material for another season , that is .

Coming from someone who's read the manga, the show is pretty much 100% SPOT ON. Everything that was showed here was like in Manga. The action pacing, the boob bouncing, the stab to his back, etc.

After all that Murasaki still didn't kill Date. I can't believe it.

When Himiko thought she was going to die she said she should have told Ryouta she's the same Himiko, but now that she's saved she still didn't. -_-

No. The bomb didn't blow up because since Ryouta wasn't dead, Date didn't have "possession" of the BIM and could not activate it. If Ryouta had died than the bomb would have exploded when it hit Himiko, no matter how large her breasts were.

People.. stop this. Her tits didn't save her life, even if the cracker had hit a wall it wouldn't explode, because MC was still alive, so Date couldn't activate the cracker, hence no BTOOOM.

Even though the cracker had never been activated in the first place the BIM bouncing of her boobs was just way to lame... it ruined the mood. I wonder if this will be an anime original ending, but they may not even get the required chips to call the chopper in the first place. This episode was not as good as I hoped for but the next episode may be the best one.
