| Seems like season 2 is canceled. I wish it had one. I hope in future (if possible) they make s2 bcuz i don't like reading manga. |
| This was a good anime but I don’t think it quite reached its full potential… seemed like there was too much that the studio tried to fit into a single season and so it all came off as a little half-hearted. That said, I think the manga will be a blast to read (see what I did there?) so I’ll definitely check that out! |
 |
| it was pretty good till episode 7 after that it went downhill but overall it wasn't a bad anime overall it was good and pretty enjoyable though it's a lil unsettling to watch 5/10 a little underrated to be frank. |
"......If I told you that I was a real witch, would you believe it?"  |
| Taira losing it was always coming, those subtle hints from the very beginning weren't there for nothing after all. I find his approach totally normal given the circumstances, though we know guys depicting realism don't live long, so was it for Taira. They did try to give a satisfactory end, though the episodes clearly weren't enough given the format of this series. We still don't know plenty, heck we haven't met every player. Though it was engaging, had that thrill time to time plus it had Himiko and her circumstances( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). But the plot aiding certain characters every time from any kind of attack was down questionable lol. 6/10. Typical Madhouse product, never got a second season. |

| Taira is a neat character. Not stereotypically evil like many of the characters in this anime, but prone to paranoia and getting caught up in his own thoughts. That's why he was shown to be largely altruistic in earlier episodes, while also being still very much interested in surviving and escaping. Ryouta ignored the proverbial devil on his shoulder and decided to refrain from having sex with Himiko as well, even though she would've accepted, purely because she was still reluctant to be touched by men. Pretty admirable stuff. And there was still romantic development there either way, so that's nice. I really liked this anime. Sure, some cheap events happen just to add tension or more action to scenes, but the survival aspects and character interactions were reasonably thoughtful. You also never truly knew what was going to happen next, which is the sort of anticipation that only a few other anime can pull off well. |

| As expected, a cliffhanger ending, but imo not a bad one and that’s what I’m most happy about, I found it to be satisfying enough to end on. This was mainly due to Ryouta finally finding out that Himiko is his Himiko and the two of them officially hooking up, and things kinda coming full circle with Taira who was out of commission for pretty much the entire 2nd half of the show. I really hated to see him go down that route but it made sense, and I assumed he wouldn’t last till the end once he was bitten by the Komodo Dragon, and of course his end involving them once again was fitting but he at least went out on his own terms and didn’t get eaten alive, but man was it upsetting. And then the final scene showing something is wrong with the island kinda hurts since I know there’s no Season 2 and we’ll probably never get one, but it’s definitely enticing me to read the manga lol, maybe I will one day. But with that, we’ve reached the end of Btooom, and I found it to be a damn good show, there were of course issues with plot armor here and there but overall I found it to be very enjoyable. It had very nice art and animation thanks to old school Madhouse and the survival game never got boring imo, and that’s partly thanks to the great characters. And I can’t not mention the awesome OP and ED, they have that nice combo where one is fast and intense and the other is slow and calming and of course they’re great songs, the 2nd OP we got in this last episode was good as well and I was surprised to get a whole new song on the last one lol. It’s always nice watching shows from the good ol early 2010s, I wouldn’t get into anime till 2013/2014 but there’s a certain nostalgic feel shows from this era have and it was definitely present in this show, 2012 is a time I really miss as well for other reasons. And I guess with that I’m done with this series, fingers crossed for it to randomly come back with a vengeance one day lol. |

| This show is literally just a survival starterpack with a slice of tsundre but as a lover of the survival genera I loved it anyways |
| this anime sucked ass but might read manga |
| That wasn't bad at all, it ended on bit of a cliffhanger but I wasn't disappointed sadly I don't think there was ever a plan for Season 2, I think they adapted so many chapters to try to catch up to the Manga so the anime fans can pick up from there I think Survival/Royal Battle genre is my new favorite |
| I feel bad for Taira-san. He wasn't evil like some of the other scum in the series. Why did they do me so dirty? Why isn't there a second season. This show sat in my list for years and I started it reluctantly. I didn't expect it to be that good. BTW, the episode opening, should have been the opening for the entire show. It was much better. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
