Ummm. Obviously you don't know MADHOUSE very well. They almost never make second seasons, especially to stuff that flopped. HOTD flopped: Cliffhanger ending. BTOOOM! flopped: Cliffhanger ending. Claymore flopped: TERRIBLE ending!
Chihayafuru had amazing television ratings and sold WAAY better than expected. Idk where you are getting your "info" from.


I thought HSOD had really good sales. And Chihayafuru barely broke 2000 a volume, right? Were they "expecting" sales of 500 or something?

^that comment made me laugh quite hard for some reason.

I posted my opinion on a second season in the other thread so I'll only say that the new opening was totally for sales support (i.e. a quick montage of scenes shown throughout the show plus a new catchy song). If it works in favour of another season, I'm all for it.

Pretty lazy 'new' OP. It's just scenes from the episodes.

Anyway, I actually expected Taira to practically turn on them in the end since a few episodes. The poor old fool didn't deserve such an end. :(

The ending was pretty cute, but I was basically screaming at Ryouta to take it slow there. You know she's still very scared of it, and I'm glad he backed off. :)

I'm pretty concerned about these technical issues though. I wonder what is going on...

Looking forward to (hopefully) a second season! 8/10

Disappointed. This is what they call ending? This show is pointless without proper conclusion. If was very promising at first, until it seemed that later the show will be even better. But until the end characters was repeating the same thing and achieved nothing. Oh yeah, Ryouta now knows that the girl is the real Himiko and there was a kissu scene. Kissu is never bad, but I demand real ending that at least shows how they leave the island (good end), die there (bad end) or one of them dies and one leaves. Not even talking about the corporation behind of all this stuff.


There following the Manga ofc it's not going to go into an Original Ending. The manga is barely past this part if not at the same spot. I've read Manga and it ends pretty much here. The Manga is slow and to complete series they will need a 2nd season if they get one when manga is done.

7/10 Was an enjoyable watch.

This had potential to be a 7-8/10 before the last few episode. Then it just turned.. bad. And this ending? Really? Good job shitting on yourself show.

5/10. Kousuke was love.

okay so this surely needs a second season, i mean if there is then this series may actually be decent but for now I can only give it a 7 as there wasn't much character development etc but that's to be expected on a 12 episode series, in terms of enjoyment and action though I cannot fault it (apart from the last episode, was a bit tame) every episode flew, and I literally didn't stop watching it.... just hope somewhere down the line it gets that second season to maybe add some development and plot etc.. will read the manga in the mean time!

Tsuneaki Iida is still a mystery (aside from being a programmer). What's his relation with Ryuuta?

Second season NOW!!! Because it's only just begun. The ending it self was quite decent although to open it was still nice and well I'm expected a sequel on this anime, if not it would be a shame.

In general not a bad Anime but as the ending is to open and doesn't really have a good rounding off even though it's still in the middle of the game it should have something of a finish imo.

Still quite nice in general 7/10

i had mixed feelings about the whole serie ,i didnt liked a lot but i didnt hate it too .. idk ,just im indifferent about it, sometimes i remember the lame mc who can be badass when he want (can escape from everything aparently whit just some scratches), the very weird plot ,everyone trying to rape himiko (never watch it on the living room if u have a little sister),and every one seems to have an insane past,inter alia,but somehow i didnt disliked it a lot maybe i just liked the action and fighting scenes and character devel. idk..

so pretty indifferent about it idk what score give lol

This episode is the only one I dislike, plain and simple. The rest has been ranking from meh to pretty cool, but this one just doesn't feel right. Taira-san deserved to go back to them, he shouldn't have done that suicide thing.

Hmm, very interesting... Feels like they are prepping for a new season down the line.


In what world?, arent BD sales pretty bad for this and the manga sales didnt even budge from the anime, doubt theres ever going to be more...

I actually expected a "to be continued" message or something similar, I never look at BD sales though so thanks for the heads-up. I guess this'll be the end for the show. Quite a shame since it's kinda good (bomb don't work like this though).

8/10, I would like a second season but I can live without one.

I loved every minute of this show and the ending was absolutely sweet although it did seem a little rushed ^^ I am praying for a second season and I will buy the DVD/Blu ray and probably the manga so I can lend my support to the series XD OH and I am obsessed with the opening (the original not the finale) Especially the "It's only just begun" part !!

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?


I've never read the manga but what I got from the anime I would bet 20 bucks that the guy in the helicopter was Ryouta's real father :)

It was a good anime; I give it a 7/10. The art was an eye candy but the anime didn't have a solid story going for it except for a few "on-the-edge-of-the-seat" scenarios.

Not my cup of tea most definitely. I am not that much into the survival genre and that's the reason. However, I trust the plot was predictable, simple-minded and yes, that's too much for me who hasn't even seen that many such series/shows/movies >.> Big disappointment and it didn't have this general feeling of something complete along the way.

I felt like season 1 ended without actually having an end and this is why I think there will probably be a season 2 if the company's income is enough. However, I will not be one of the people who will watch it.

Loved this show! Great ending! So glad they stayed faithful to the manga. Ended right where I hoped it would.

Already imported BD 1 and 2 ! If we all do this we might get season two so buy this and the manga too. Volume 10 comes out January 11th.

Volumes one and two in their clear cases:

Notice guys, they could continue story, but they did not and still no news about 2nd season.
And it`s good. Nice anime going up just 12 series. It`s ALWAYS enough.


"Mad House have realesed that a new season of btooom will happen in 2013 but in the meantime they will have a new anime."
No, my dream broken. They did it. Enjoy 2nd season shit eaters.

Well, I enjoyed this show by the end. It took a while to warm up to it, but really each episode got better and better.

Worried that there won't be a second series just because if sales weren't as good then they have no 'credit' to fun another run.

Liked seeing the kiss and nice guy ending, but it must have been hard for him after he got to see her out the shower!

Well, they fucked up Taira's part, no, they butchered it, poor guy didn't get the attention he should have got.

Solid adaptation, it's surprising that they were able to cover a little bit more than 8 volumes with 12 episodes and actually managed to do a good job, I will be waiting for season 2 which is going to take forever due to lack of material.

Internal monologue of the characters when voiced became annoying and music often didn't match the scenes but I'm giving +1 to the final score because the studio responsible for the adaptation did not take the easy way by giving it their own alternate ending even despite the fact that they have little chance of making a sequel any time soon.

It was a good and entertaining ride. The treatment every character got and their backgrounds where solid, the best thing this series had. The music was ok, the art and animation where great, and the story was nice. But the major disappointment in it was the last episode and how it ended. Don't know if there will be a 2nd season, but if Madhouse plans on finishing it then I will give it a chance.

Ahah i liked the two of them getting lovey-dovey and then i realized that they are actually being taped and watched by those kidnapping stalkers who develop on-line games in free time. It was good decision to wait with main thing after leaving the island, either for Himiko to get more ready or to get out of 3rd eyes sights :P

Now this was cool BIM ride. I gave it 8/10 ( because of open/no ending 9-1/10 i may change if we ever get sequel)
I'd like to see sequel, however i'm pretty much skeptical on that. At least i don't expect full 2nd season anytime soon, if ever given that at the time manga gets to another 50 chapters it might be long forgotten title by masses. BUT if they'll make it one day and it will be in the way 1st season was, I'm in for another 12-24 even 50 episodes.

That was my thought too. Good thing Ryota was a gentleman and just kissed and hugged Himiko and saw she wasn't comfortable. They don't know they are on Pay Per View Snuff TV and would have been on Pay Per View Bow Chicka Chicka Bow Bow TV...

I really liked it overall. Can't wait for book ten in a week in a half and BD 3 in three weeks.

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.
