This sounds interesting, I love those kind of series, so even if it sucks I'll get some enjoyment out of it. Definite watch for me.
I probably regret this post by now.

If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

Well, maybe he doesn't like his friends very much...

...yeah, kind of dumb. Unless they work in teams?
more like they didn't thought the game is absolute scam that set up by absolute psycho.

Maybe similar to Kaiji/Gambling Emperor Zero set-up?

SOLD.

I just hope the character designs aren't shit. I'm worried it'll either be too generic or they'll try too hard to make it reminiscent of older series and fail miserably.

They probably sign in as a team, like in Bus Gamer. I don't think they would sign in that game if they had to kill eachother, that would be really retarded.
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this

He entered a survival game without thinking that the game might attract bloodthirsty, ax crazy complete monsters didn't he? He's definitely retarded.

But hey, he isn't a high schooler. That's a plus.

Art looks nice (although it's far from my initial expectation),but is he really 24 years old?

Same here honestly that was nothing like I expected it to be. He looks way younger!

And according to (http://www.shogakukan-cr.co.jp/news/n4407.html) that art was for the comic/manga version. Comic version was published yesterday and free version can be viewed here http://bit.ly/LYXC3D

This sounds incredibly dumb.

"more insane than he expected"

I'm not sure if I should be laughing or crying.
The legal age of consent in Japan is 13, so shota is totally legal in Japan. In some western countries shota might be considered child porn.

When I first heard about it I was skeptical.

Then I saw the main character was 24 and my interest went steeply upward. I will tend to give most shows not about highschoolers a go, and generally watch most things based on actual novels.

Not a new premise, but it not being a kid helps a LOT. One of the only new things this Winter that looks interesting to me. Can't wait to see the staff and VAs on this one.

Winter 2013.... :| Guess I'll wait, as it's got a very unique premise... Shinsengumi and Dragons thrown into a survival game... A 24 year old man who looks 16... Unheard of!!! Hopefully it's well executed...

And about the fact that he joins with 2 friends... Well either he's a retard who doesn't realize that some people are looking for a chance to kill and or rape while being rewarded... Or it's a different type of survival game than we'd first assume. I mean it didn't mention the people'd be killing eachother. So maybe the original idea was to survive against.... Shinsengumi and Dragons...

Oh yeah and btw... The author of the Novel is the same age as the main protagonist.

Sounds like BTOOOM!..

Hope the protagonist is similar; otherwise I am not going to watch it..

The protagonist has to be tactical and smart.. A little ecchi is okay.. Brave may be necessary if it is a survival game.. Being decisive is also a need..

Sorry to bump an old topic, but was this cancelled? I know that its on Neregates chart for Winter, but there has been no info on the Japanese side in terms of websites, staff, tv listings etc. It doesn't seem like its coming out anytime soon.

I want to see how they will kill one another .
Another survival game like Btooom!, at least they how change the weapons of killing.
And make it little interesting .

(It will be aired in 2012. )
I don't think it will be wise choice , now we how Btooom!.
Or they will aired after the Btooom! is finish...

There's barely no news concerning the Staff, release date and much more. This anime will most likely be aired in January or something. I can't seem to find the PV/trailer too, how will they get people to watch it if they don't release any information about it? Why aren't they marketing/advertising it?
