Ryouta and Himiko kiss. Awesome :D.

I believe this takes us up to around chapter 50 of the manga?

Really hope there will be a second season. The helicopter was hinting of something interesting taking place on the island. Help is on the way for Ryouta! :)

Yeah, if they kissed then they ended in the chapter 50 as expected.

Same with New prince of Tennis there isn't enough material to cover everything, let's make it a couple of years from now on to 2nd season.

The ending show the characters like they did in The World God only knows.

So.. Taira decides to kill Ryouta and Himiko after having weird visions of his family. Then Ryouta thinks it's his fault the old man felt anxious and was attacking them, even though he's only saved his life a bunch of times. And Taira is randomly surrounded by those annoying crocodiles and kills himself because I don't know. <<;; OK episode I guess. The kiss was nice, but then.. Ryouta, while on top of Himiko, having an emo internal dialog with an illusion of Oda must've been really awkward for Himiko?? He was like, giving angry looks to the side for no reason. I'd be worried about his mental health.

Yay! They got together in the end!
SO good!

Feel bad for Taira, but that is what karma is!

Love the series. You can really feel the emotion especially the desperation of characters.

9/10 for me!

Never thought I'd like this anime but it turned out to be really good. I hope there's another season to continue the story. Seems like there will be based on that ending.

I haven't looked at any statistics but I'm not sure if this series is doing that well in Japan and the producers seem unsure whether it should get another season.

I hope it does though, I liked the ending, slightly rushed and seemed pretty cliche but it was enjoyable to watch.

That was okay...just okay.


Didn't understand who the guy boarding the helicopter at the end was.
I don't read the manga but apparently neither do the manga readers (of the translated chapters) know about him?

Good ending... if it wasn't the end of the season. It was kind of a let down for me since I expected more. Unfortunately, they had already caught up to the manga so there was no other way to end it.

It's too bad that Taita had to die and Himiko and Ryouta finally kiss. Now I really hope for a season 2.

So, will there be another season? If there is, 6/10 for me so far, a series with lots of flaws but entertaining. But if there isn't this is one of the crappiest endings I've seen in a long time.

And they lived happily ever after...

Not bad for this season although I felt it was a bit rushed and would be better off with a two core at series. That new OP song kinda sucks though compared to the original imo. I was also looking forward to a rematch between Oda and Ryouta tbh. Maybe it'll happen someday, maybe.

Anyways, it's been a nice little ride this Fall from Btooom! Also, that kiss was sweet. Lucky Ryouta.

Omg yes! I'm SO glad they ended it at chapter 50!

Perfect way to end the anime/season. That Himko x Ryouta moment was done perfectly.

I'm hoping for a second season but it will have to sell for that to happen. Even if it does sell though, the manga would need another 40 chapters just to make another one-cour season >_<. AKA, don't expect one for like 1-2 years =(

Thank you madhouse for sticking to the manga!

I agree with you on that. I thought that it would have been fine if it was just a mid-season finale and the season continued on like SAO. The way it ended there was a bit of a let down seeing all the action and suspense we had this season. Unfortunately, they couldn't do anything else since they had already caught up to the manga.

Yea, i think ur right. Isn't the guy on the helicopter his dad? He knew Ryota and we know Ryota's dad abandoned him for his secretive work. It would make sense that his dad sabotaged the game and is flying over there to try and help him.

I nearly screamed when I realized that there will probably be a second season. Because I was so scared that they would totally rush it and make a stupid ending which doesn't make sense at all. But that ending was great.
So I really hope that they'll make the second season (you never know for sure because maybe the show wasn't successful in Japan, idk) because I definitely need more of Kira :D

Wow, it's a cliffhanger ending. Ohh.... Overall well, since it was fun but full of cliches, I kinda liked the fast pacing feel of it all. It makes up to where other anime would just stall you to fill up screen time. But yeah we need a proper ending.

I'm not sure if I'm talking nonsense here but he really reminded me... well, in that episode where Ryouta finally meets that cool childhood friend that became a host and they're fighting, then cut to the room of the developers of this game. There was that fat guy but another ones and if I recall correctly, one of those developers that was cheering for Sakamoto to win was just like the helicopter guy. Oh well. That's my unreliable memory for ya guys, enjoy whatever contribution this memory might not actually be making to ya now.

So.. Taira who was pretty much dying and couldn't even eat by himself last episodes, and was about to die without medicine, manages to walk around, climb down ladders, hide, bomb away, then run away? Seems legit.

His BIM explodes within target's range; one would expect the target should be dead if the BIM ever exploded, but it only "got" his leg, turning it bloody, because after a while he could jump and walk/run after Taira.

Yay kiss scene, and pretty awkward plank stance of her. Also as for the man in the heli I suppose it's his father.

I was really sceptic of how they would end this series just with one episode left, I was scared they would rush it and it kinda seemed like it for awhile but I really like how ryouta changed and how he realized how others around him feel and how he snapped out of his pervymode. I hope this gets a second season because if not it will be just very disapointing.

Well done finale I have to say, Madhouse stepped up their production values on this last episode with new music, OP and better in-between animation. The new OP I enjoyed a lot in the same vein as the 1st one.

My only complaint with this episode is throughout the series I wish they seeded more of Taira going insane when he gets lost by himself. They made it plausible with what they showed but more foreshadowing would've made it better integrated overall. I definitely like this ending better than Highschool of the Dead which also just abruptly ended but what made this one more favorable was the sense of progression since episode 1

Aww, this episode was cute. It's a shame Taira died, I liked the guy. The kiss was really cute.

I think that last picture though, with them sitting next to each other was more precious. Just my opinion though.

The series had a lot of potential, and I'm kind of disappointed because it wasn't used to it's full extent. It had some flaws, but characters were great. I'd give it a 7/10.

To people saying "obviously" getting a season two, it depends on what the sales are. No matter how much they want a season 2, it won't be happening without the proper sales.

Not only that, but the manga isn't that much ahead of the anime, so it'll at least be a year or even two before there's enough material.

Speaking of the manga, isn't it on hiatus? last I checked it was on chapter 51...

This type of madhouse ending was executed with Highschool of the dead, where they left the ending hanging, hinting a new season, but it never got one. With this one however is truly impossible since there's little to no original material.

Well, that whole thing with Taira went down differently than I expected. Bit cliche all in all, but this was still a fun anime.

Since they caught up with the manga and it would take forever/might not even have a second season I guess Ill start reading the Manga from where this left off.

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.

An open ending kind of fit better for HOTD compared to something like this. I mean it's pretty difficult to "end" anything about the zombie apocalypse. Ending Btooom! here would be like ending starwars with the empire strikes back.

Wroooonngg how could anyone think that is implied? The guy in the helicopter looked like his father from his past visions the one that was always working, So I'm guessing he comes to the island pretending to be fixing the mechanical problems but instead wants to save everyone or his son which is more likely. If they didn't show what the guy in the helicopter said then it would be implied that they probably steal it but the fact that he says them things changes that.

Also good episode/ending ,I hope season 2 comes swiftly although I won't hold my breath :P truthfully I never really liked the guy that got killed he always seemed to burden the main characters but he was nice... in the end... very end... kinda...

Overall I think this series was a 7.75/10 which is basically an 8/10

At the least they are egging people on with hops of another season maybe to raise sails, regardless i think the anime was quiet enjoyable ,and it left off at a good spot given i've only read up to that point in the manga but it seems like it falls into a clam before the storm scenario.

ughhhhh, but either way I'm still going to read the manga and continue it myself, but I'll enjoy it more with a second season of Btooom!
