Btooom! (Anime) add (All reviews)
Mar 1, 2023
This is a solid underrated anime and for the quality, I was genuinely surprised and hooked over an 11 year old show. There is genuinely more trash that aires every season of anime that gets more recognition than this, I want to make clear that "trash" like this is to be appreciated.

This isn't popular and won't ever be popular. If you like watching lower budget shows that are more niche and likely only put out to promote the manga ( like this one ). You will like this. If you have seen Tomodachi Game and liked that, this is a great recommendation.

Some drawbacks in the show I would like to point out is that the pacing is just a tad fast, and the first episode isn't really all that exciting. The "virtual game" that is referenced a lot in the anime kind of takes me out of the show and feels a little forced or far fetched, but its not a deal breaker. Some side character backstories feel pretty on-the-spot as well. There's a lot of "coincidental" moments and I think comes off as bad writing, but that's kinda whatever. Just nitpicking.

Character development is good, and flow of things just feels right. Something is always happening, not really a wasted episode in it's span of 12. Story is good for one season, but isn't a definite finish- even 11 years later.. no sign of a second season. So do not expect a conclusive ending, but it was a nice ending for one season.

Gonna give it an 8/10. If you watch a lot of anime to kill- good or bad. This one is pretty solid.
