It said "to be considered" so of course it's not a sure fire thing to happen even if goal is reached. But hey at least there's some news about it now!

Sounds great for BTOOOM! Fans.
Let's hope it will get a second season, because every show deserves a ending.

Sadly, cracking the top 5 would be all be impossible. It includes Monster Strike, Puzzle & Dragons, Fate/Grand Order, Idolmaster Starlight Stage, Disney, Pokemon GO, Dragon Ball Z. All HUGE franchises.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE BTOOOM! I love the manga, I loved the anime, I've downloaded the game (Mimori Suzuko voices Himiko!) but it has absolutely no chance of cracking the top 5. None.

I'd say it has a chance of getting a second season but not by getting into the top 5... just impossible! I would love to be wrong but... just no way.

Yeah, specially since the producer seems to really want to do it.
From what ive seen in a ANN comment :

''According to another report at the same event, the producer added that his company Asobimo would sponsor a new season by itself if need be.

http://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/201702280015/ ''

Just gotta hope that they do it even if it doesnt go top 5 one day.

Not really, if you go by the daily revenue they only make about $500K to $2 million a day tops, and that includes world wide revenue.
Cracking the top 5 for a month in Japan is easily doable.

Would love a second season, but considering Btooom never striked me as being that popular, I doubt it will get anywhere near this target.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

I hope they do it, I'd just be really surprised as the first season sold so poorly (I bought it, and all the manga but it's a drop in the bucket). Someone personally wanting to make it is really the only hope we have as it doesn't make good business sense. Bunch magazine needs an anime once in a while but they still have other manga they could adapt rather than a second season of an anime which sold less than 1K copies.

As above, I hope you're right but I just don't see it. I'll be watching the charts and hoping to see it in the TOP 50! If it even makes it into the top 50 I'll be surprised but very happy. Top 5, I'll be ecstatic.

if money was an issue, asobimo could have chosen the crowdfunding option, where people can track the progress and see how much is left to achieve the goal. people are able to track the progress daily and hold the company accountable if it ever reaches the goal, or exceeds it.

with the in-app sales ranking, it's impossible to track the progress (how much the company is earning through in-app sales). ranks are updated regularly, which means if the app doesn't reach top 5 before the rank resets, all the money earned ends up in the company's ceo pocket. even if someone spends $10,000, if the app doesn't reach top 5 before the rank resets, his or her money is as good as gone.

edit: wait. i said promise.

It said "to be considered" so of course it's not a sure fire thing to happen even if goal is reached.

ok, it's not even a promise. they will just "consider it"


Give us a few thousand dollars before the rank resets, and if we feel like it, we might make a season 2.
maybe, no guarantees given. be thankful for our generosity.
-asobimo


there's a reason companies like bushimo and bandainamco are able to get their games in top 5 every so often, and it's a well-deserved rank for their games.

You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.

ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

Not sure how official these rankings are and I'm not sure if they meant downloads or in app purchases but it is #2 on the free apps chart for iOS anyway. Not in the top 50 for in app purchases though:
https://www.appannie.com/jp/apps/ios/top/japan/overall/iphone/
I assume they meant the purchases chart where it is a no show, sadly.

in one of the screenshots shown in the second link given by op, it does say that it's sales ranking rather than download or usage ranking. if money was an issue, they could have chosen crowdfunding. if they just wanted to see how much people wanted a season 2, they could have asked people to like a tweet - that's pretty much the standard.

I'm glad that they're considering a second season but top 5 in the app store seems like an unrealistic goal. Possible yes but highly unlikely. Wasn't popular enough to begin with to get that kind of attention. Could have said top 20 or something. Way to get peoples hopes up then crush them :|

Crowdfunding was definitely a good idea. However, the question would still remain. Could they reach the goal in time ? They failed to reach the top 5 spot on japanese market, would crowdfunding provided them with more money ?

Even if they reached the goal. We all would still have to acknowledge the horrible truth that clings around with these crowdfunded projects. Under the Dog might serve as a example of what I'm talking about. Again, another problem that comes with these crowdfunded projects is they never reach the eyes of normal viewers, who usually depend on the likes of crunchyroll or just freeload on sites like kissanime.

This is more than can be said about other anime that would love some lime light on whether or not another season is even being brought up. I actually thought Btoom was a pretty cool concept, well done animation wise, good voice actors, good execution of the source material, unique twist and ending.

keep dreaming there are no way that awful laggy game reach the top 20
Since Koe no Katachi has a very high rating her on MAL, rated by nearly 100k users currently should we try to upvote the movie on the worlds largest database related to films? This movie only has around 4,5k votes at the moment. Let's all vote and make the rating higher?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5323662/

if we make it more popular it will raise more money so it will support the anime industry and make anime more popular between all the peoples since IMDb is not an anime site
so more quality anime will be made

pretty much. the condition they made to even consider making a season 2 was pretty nonsensical: make a ton of in-app purchases in a very short time, and if our app becomes top 10, possibly surpassing even popular apps such as SIF and Monster Strike, maybe we'll make a season 2. It was a shameless way of promoting their game, and it was a blatant middle finger to btoom fans. the game did become one of the most downloaded for a short while, but of course, it didn't reach the goal of having the most in-app purchases.
