Btooom! (Anime) add (All reviews)
Mar 12, 2016
Let's talk about Btooom!
I know, maybe it's not a very good name but fairly well defined since the anime is based on bombs and explosions.
It is an anime released in 2012, which consists of 1 single season of 12 episodes. It is based on a manga released in 2009 but continues to publish at a rate slow enough (once a month).
Within the genres we can emphasize action, science fiction and a certain romance to be clarified with the progress of anime.

HISTORY:
Btooom! It is a popular online game based on pumps. Its main objective is to devise strategies with teams and with different types of pumps to win the game.
Sakamoto, our main protagonist, is one of the best players in the world of this game. In turn, it is a boy of 22 who neither study nor work and spends all day in his room playing until one day he wakes up hanging from a parachute on a seemingly deserted island without knowing why.
Here begins the real adventure, because a "organización'' has kidnapped several people and has led to this island, including the main character, and gave them a bag of bombs and a" radar'' (chip embedded in hand ) each, just as in the game Btooom! ...
This organization has kidnapped people who have been "nominadas'' by others who apparently hated them for some reason, so that all people of the island have been bad people with someone or something.
So if you want to escape from this island they have a total of 8 chips, so you have to kill at least 7 people.
Sakamoto will find a wide variety of people, including a girl I used to play online but most of all a lot of people who want to kill to survive.

MAIN CHARACTERS
-Ryōta Sakamoto: Ryōta of 22 years is the main male protagonist of the series. He is an elite player in Btooom! 4 stars (the scale is with a maximum of five stars) who was nominated by his mother, to participate in the game Btooom! In real life.
He was often seen as being abusive to his mother and stepfather while trying to motivate him to present several works that were getting to him, none of whom he wanted and considered his unnecessary interference. This is because he had set his sights on a job in Tyrannos Japan, a group of game developers who created Btooom!.
-Himiko: The female protagonist of the series. She is in love with Ryota and married him in the game Btooom!. She was nominated by his group of ex-girlfriends because together attended a group meeting with a group of celebrities who ended up raping them, this only Himiko, who was delayed and after arriving and finding out what was happening was saved fled to bring police however her friends not only believed guilty of this misfortune, also they preferred to think it was an accomplice of rapists.
At the beginning she hated men for the incident with her friends, because after reaching the island the first group that had belonged problems.
When she meets Ryota this shows that will protect her while alive. Either way, still maintain some distance between them due to insecurity.

Art
In many characters we see a pretty bad design.
In the case of Himiko, whose facial design is quite simple and a little weird.
In other characters we find a better design but the fact that the two players have a simple design gives a negative point to the anime.
And now comes the most awaited moment ...... THE OPPAIS. Well, Btooom! only gonna get big breasts of the protagonist, which are practically the only ones throughout the anime but not fall short.
Btooom! It has a good animation. We can highlight the great animation of the explosion, which is the basis of virtually anime.
Also the sound and animation when using the radar is pretty well animated, and all chases through the jungle and old buildings is more than good.

MUSIC
In music I can say that is quite well suited to every moment of the anime, which is usually quite normal in animes of this style.
Characterized mainly by the action music in times of struggle and ambient music in times of stress.

ENJOYMENT
At first I resent the slow development of the anime and naivete of the protagonist, but as was advancing the anime, the plot became more interesting and Sakamoto finally showed his great talent.
For me, it was a pretty good picture that includes an original idea that is being based on bombs, but has lacked something that would make were glued to the screen. Something more epic moments of tension or would have been quite favorable.
