| Oh man Rambo won't decide to take advantage of blonde girl too. She's been on that path too much. |
| Is it just me or are their noses a lot bigger than most anime..? Yeah that's the thing about komodos, they'll bite something and just leave it to die if they can't catch em at first. Their saliva is chock full of bacteria and the like Whats with that guy's employee?! @_@ Looks brainwashed or something. Lol, next episode he's going to find out she's his virtual wife. It'll be interesting to see what comes out of that. |
 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. |

| 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. |
| To be honest I think the pacing is fine but I'm surprised that they're already at chapter 20+. Chapter 50 would probably get animated at this rate, I hope it does. :D Really liked how they it showed that both Taira and Ryota were doubting each other if they were gonna betray each other or not. Some realism there. :) Himiko having emotional breakdowns and pushing Ryota away is also very realistic since she's androphobic. Ryota's going out as a decoy and then Masashi comes out. Next episode, Himiko gets captured and Ryota comes to the rescue. Fuck yeah, one of my favourite moments in Btooom! CAN'T WAIT. :) |

They are rushing in the best way possible, it's a great adaptation they are doing. For example, this episode 6 ends about chapter 23, and the manga has 53 until now. |
| Kiyoshi and Ryouta still don't completely trust each other. Mr 'Soldier Dude' is back. |
| A pretty good episode but I guess it lacked some action. Can't wait for the next one. Sakamoto will finally realize that she's his virtual wife in the next episode. |
 |
| This was a really good episode. |

| I really don't like heroines like Himiko. She brings more baggage of problems than help and not only she is a walking rapeable fanservice bimbo, she's a damsel in distress type of character. |

| People who are complaining about Himiko should realize that she's only a 15 years old girl who saw her friends get raped and one day she is kidnapped and wakes up in the middle of a death game in a island in the middle of nowhere, and in the first day a fat guy tries to rape her. So how will she be okay with that and trust men? |
| ^ And don't forget she also saw a man slashing the throat of another man right in front of her. |

| Funniest part to me, dude's face right here. |
| This ep felt like it ended too soon |
 |
| Man was wondering when the Kommodo dragon toxic from their saliva was gonna kick in. For a second I really thought Sakamoto was going to abandon them. This show is good at making you second guess the characters. Also Himiko really needs to snap out of it. Sure things happened but still I feel that she's being overly cautious. Next episode looks good. |
| I LOVE this show,5/5,next episode should be crazy. |
| I doubt that I will be a good guy given the condition in Btooom. But yeah, I would like to save a cute girl like Himiko. I'm glad that Sakamoto could still feel suspicious about her. He's a good guy, but he's not stupid. And so, Taira's a good person. But, I wonder.. what if they have got 6 crystal? (You need 7 to be free, right? Or it's 8? Nevermind, you'll get my point) One of them only have to backstab his/her friend and there you go, a freedom. OH, Taira's the one who's keeping the crystals (from the dead bodies) and I can't recall that Sakamoto & Himiko have known it. Well, Taira's still suspicious then.. And oh wow. From the preview, seems like Sakamoto will realize that he is really a lucky guy, got a hot-in-real-life-virtual wife. How's the chance you could get it? Pretty girls in online game? There's anime for you.. |
Waiting for next week anime gives me another reason to live. |
| I'm surprised how nice Sakamoto is, actually. Wasn't he a complete douchebag before he got trapped on the island? |
itsvero said: I'm surprised how nice Sakamoto is, actually. Wasn't he a complete douchebag before he got trapped on the island? He was like that with his parents, but in the game BTOOOM! he was nice, i think he only hated his parents because they tried to make him get a job and leave the game... |
| Great ep. Finally coming up to one of my favorite parts in the manga. So far this has been a pretty faithful adaptation and I hope it stays that way toward the end. This show has the potential to have a great ending if they do it right. |
 |
| Himiko is so got damn ungrateful. They saved her ass and she still bitches and complains. |

| As a non manga reader... it doesn't feel that rushed to me. Also, a confrontation with the lawyer and the knife guy. Sakamoto will discover that Himiko is her virtual wife in BTOOOM from what we can see in the next episode. Oooh. |

| omg that preview iwojtoi4utoi34terg |
| This anime becomes a pain in the ass with each new episode because of Sakamoto. In every single episode (until now) there is at least one scene that makes me wanna go on a rampage and punch Sakamoto really hard in the face. In one moment he's a little whiney kid that does not want to adapt to his environment, the next he is the emotionless but calculating pro gamer ruling everyone and in another one he gets an impulse of insanity. Gosh, this inexplicable inconsistency in his character annoys the hell out of me.. Worst main character this season (of anime that I am watching).. Now waiting for a fanboy someone bashing me for my opinion or setting my opinion right. :) |
 |
| Somehow I still think Taira is just acting as an old, useless man. Sakamoto is doing all the fighting, but meanwhile Taira is gathering all the stones. That's why he isn't leaving him either. But maybe I'm just paranoid. Himiko isn't very thankful to them for saving her either is she? Next episode that long haired dude is back too. This isn't going to be good.... |
 |
| Why won't Himiko even ask since the old man kept calling him Sakamoto -_- Anyway, not-bad ep. |
HauntingShock said: Why won't Himiko even ask since the old man kept calling him Sakamoto -_- Anyway, not-bad ep. Maybe he doesn't use his real name as his gamer tag,unlike a certain another person we all know from another show. That or they never shared personal info. Anyways, Sakamoto guna be dah hero n get dah lady. Gonna assume those gas bombs don't explode until released or something. I'm sure he's 1337 at btooom but when it comes to physical strength, he should be pretty week considering all he does is game. Just curious as he climbed that ladder pretty fast... |
| i think i remember spoiling myself with MR rambo guy if this is the part i think it is, eh i understand why shes like that but doesn't change the fact of how ungrateful she is lol. |

Actually if you wan't to know what happens in the manga about that read the spoiler bellow, don't read it if you don't want spoilers! |
| Nice episode. I guess it's a good thing those komodo dragons are gone for now. I wonder what the kidnapper is planning. |
 |
| She reminded me of Guts when she said "please don't touch me!" and the way she acts in general (though guts is crazy and would've abandoned these guys immediately and got enough stones on the first day) |
 |
| I enjoyed it yup yup. 4/5 So I was watching this episode with my friends and at one point, when Sakamoto's tears fell on Himiko's face, we all thought she was suddenly going to wake up due to the power of love. Glad to see Btooom proving us wrong! :D Phew, I thought it was going to be like SAO |
| So glad that Taira-san did not die... and it's funny to see how Sakamoto and Taira doubt each other.. haha.. you will really feel doubt if the worst case scenario happens. |
| I can't wait for the next episode!!!! |
  |
| Finally that guy appeared. Next week's episode will be an interesting one. |
| Taira is not going to survive very long after being bit by a Komodo Dragon. Their saliva is so full of bacteria that it's toxic. Why hasn't Hibiki worked out that he's THE Sakamoto? It's been twice that Taira has said his name out loud. |
