| LET JUSTICE BE DONE; THOUGH THE HEAVENS MAY FALL |
| Wow that mom looks creepy :( |

iCab said: This would be a lot better if the MC wasn't such a moron You're one episode in. At most the writer is showing that the characters involved are very flawed, hence their inclusion in the game. It looks to be Battle Royal(failure against failure) but with just bombs. And if you are expecting anything more than Gantz /w bombs then you are setting yourself up to be disappointed. |

| I would probably like it better if the main character wasn't such a dumb asshole. Better stop playing Call of.....Btooom and get an education/job. |

Oh please, if the "flaws" that the writer is trying to show is the MC's inability to realize that there's a timer on the bomb he was looking straight at, or another supposed top 10's blindness as to not see a guy a few feet next to him, then yes he succeeded. Aggressive hikikomoris piss off so much as well. And right now, I'm expecting it to be mirai nikki + sword art online + bombs. It looked like it was gonna be interesting, but it failed to attract in this episode. I hope it evolves into a "collaboration and fight against the system" type of story (kind of like SAO), instead of sticking with the mundane battle royale route. Overall, very disappointed. And this one of my most hyped anime of fall 2012 too... :S It better get better in the next few eps. |

Hooray for forced narration? That's how plot works. A writer comes up with an idea and create characters that fit. Oh please, if the "flaws" that the writer is trying to show is the MC's inability to realize that there's a timer on the bomb he was looking straight at, or another supposed top 10's blindness as to not see a guy a few feet next to him, then yes he succeeded. Aggressive hikikomoris piss off so much as well. Thanks for clarifying what moronic acts that bother you. My "flaws" were just about his general actions(attitude towards his mother, happiness with being a NEET, and overall laziness). And right now, I'm expecting it to be mirai nikki + sword art online + bombs. It looked like it was gonna be interesting, but it failed to attract in this episode. I hope it evolves into a "collaboration and fight against the system" type of story (kind of like SAO), instead of sticking with the mundane battle royale route. Have you seen/read Battle Royal? It's not the mundane trite you make it out to be and all that wanting Btooom to be a fight against a system would be nice once there is a system to fight against. Why not let the story establish itself before proclaiming it is missing what you expected of it. |

| instantly reminds me on mirai nikki. im guessing the top 10 of the world are on that island..or even more. definetly gonna keepw atching this ;) |
| Great to have a MC who isn't in high school for once. The visual motif and themes were very Madhouse which I liked. I liked Ryota's thoughts and actions this episode, they seemed very believable if someone in real life was placed in this kind of situation. Next week should be interesting |
| People should hold off on judging the MC; anyone who read the manga knows he gets better as it goes along; the fact that he didn't want to work and did nothing but play games will be explained (whether its a explanation you like or not is a different story) but point is you shouldn't judge a character based on one episode. |

Why not let the story establish itself before proclaiming it is missing what you expected of it. I've seen some parts of the movies. But aside from what I've seen, all I've heard from the people that have seen all of it, is that it is a bunch of kids killing each other at some island. :S Maybe the novel is much better, but not so much the movies. I said that I'm gonna watch the next few episodes to see if it'll get better. When I was talking about the "fight against the system" stuff, that was simply what I was hoping for it to evolve into down the track. I really am just tired of the "rumble-pit; fight to the death" premise. |

Expectations are one thing but you are clearly shooting yourself in the foot here. |

But I really hope that it turns out to be different. :/ Heck, i would probably get over it being another "fight to the death" series if the characters were better (Read: the MC better becomes less of a moron and more of a bad ass by episode 5). Oh, and the people sent there better not be only the top 10. Because oh god if it is, the "top 10 in the world" must suck so much. I mean that guy must've missed like 30 times, some of which the mc was standing perfectly still. |

| Mom should have kicked MC's ass out of the house. Ungrateful asshole. Couldn't say anything about the plot. Quite honestly it's pretty bad. NEET becomes an expert bomber? wow. Also, the enemy can't aim for shit. |

Also, the enemy can't aim for shit. If i recall its because that guy was a drug addict so he wasn't right in the head thus his aim was off; as for him becoming an expert bomber its the concept of using game concepts in real life fighting. While its a little BS, its not as bad as it would have been if it were guns since this is more about strategies on how and when to use your bombs and when to run away etc etc |

| Ehh...that wasn't that great MEH IMA JUST WATCH THE OP OVER AND OVER AGAIN HUEHUEHUE |
 |
| As somebody who've read the manga, not really enjoying this tbh. The seiyuus are not what I think they should have been, the OP/ED and OST are mediocre at best. The animation is okay, could be much more fluid. Adaptation wise, it did an okay job again. I'm just here to see Himiko anyway. |

| That first enemy bomber looks like he was on drugs, his eyes were creepy! The MC's mom looks like a zombie, I was creeped out by her. I liked the opening sequence song. I haven't read the manga yet. |

| First episode is quite good actually, for those who have already read the manga and knew that the mc isn't a useless scumbag xD, he might have problems in his real life, being a hikkimori, play games all day, but that's how the story works( if he isn't, then btoom wouldn't exist in the first place). He's gonna be more mature later on, a badass or at least he uses his brain more than muscles. And people who haven't read the manga first, his weak and coward characteristic in the beginning could be a thing they dislike the show. Himiko is pretty much a mobile fanservice device, I do like her though. Music is good, 7/10 overall, I enjoy this episode. Not gonna watch low quality raw 2nd episode though. |
| Battle Royarruuu, I mean BTOOOM! lol I liked the manga and the first ep is a pretty nice. A few problems here and there, but still one of the better anime for this season. |

shadowtsunami said: Any one else think the protagonist looks like Light Yagami lol. Seems like a good anime. It is all his plan to confuse L...but don't worry L is not so stupid... |
| "Efficiency is not king, efficacy is." Post a comment on my profile. Profile comments are fun. |
| Well this was interesting. Similiar to SAO so I like it. The bomb fight was pretty cool too. |
 |
| the mc ranked #10 in the game? really? and it took him ages to figure out how his bomb's working? meh aside from that -and his douchey attitude toward his mother- i liked everything Madhouse did a great job with this <3 45 will keep watching |
| That gasp when he blew up was hilarious |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this |
| So, basically it's a real life bomberman with Yagami Raito as a main character... Love the characters especially the blonde girl |
 |
| lovin this season |
Lylaaz said: Lol the MC looks a lot like Yagami Light. XD |
| Epic first ep. First thing on an unknown island and some crazy dude tries to kill you. Why does all the other peoples' faces look so freaking creepy? It's like they're zombies or something. The game concept is quite cool. Grenades only but... Have to watch more to find out: How the guy actually got there. Purpose of actually being there. Though it should probably be revealed later on. |
| I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN |
| Ok first episode. Will definitely give this series a go. |

| I don't remember the MC getting in-game married in the manga...oh well, it's not that important (for now anyway). Anyway, awesome first episode. Seeing the Light Yagami look-alike squirm is very enjoyable. So far it's pretty faithful to the manga, although Ryouta's mom isn't as scary looking. Looking forward to the rest~ |
| May'n! <3 The new seiyuu is pretty good. And what's those weird green thing that consumed his mom? I see, the next episode will be the other main girl's point of view, that's good. |

| Was rather meh, and pretty much my (heavily outdated) definition of a typical anime: violent action with fanservice and a lol premise. I'll give it another shot or two because it wasn't bad, but it depends on how they pull off the rest of the show. |
| I guess it was ok, but nothing more. I probably won't drop this one, but I also think I won't rate it too high if it continues like this. I don't like MC so far but I have a feeling that's about to change because he seems to be the type to take the lead after the initial shock. Let's see, maybe it's going to pleasantly surprise me, but I doubt it. |
| Wow people already saying they love the girl character just because she has big boobs. Pathetic |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this |
| Interesting first episode. I liked how the MC mustered courage to actually fight for his survival relatively early, but there's still a lot of space for development of his character. The very concept of the game is pretty unique, and the art style reminds me a bit of HOTD. Still got to hear the OP but ED was just great, May'n is lovely. Also dat preview, i'm ready for (almost?) rape already. |
