love this episode and the gore scene ... but hey, damn censoring :(.

I read the manga several years though, that kid was insane but I forgot the reasons, oh well lol kill then raep 3 woman, he isn't an ordinary kid. That kid's voice was obviously Miyuki's voice, felt like strange ...

Great fight scene...wow the main character in this show is a moron.
The new kid introduced was OK I guess, he was a pretty good character but the more he spoke it seemed the less I liked him, I don't hate the kid but he isn't one of my favorites.
Also let me add I am glad that they left out the rape scene with Kira, I mean there is a difference between censorship and good taste, showing a 14 year old boy raping the corpse of a woman is well, not something I and i'm sure a lot of other people don't want to see.
Seriously what is it with this show and rape? First We get episode 2 with the female leads backstory in which her friends are raped, then the fat guy implies he raped someone and that's why he was on the island and now Kira is a necrophiliac, that is 3 occasions in 4 episodes. It really comes across at this point that the writer needs new ideas for character backstories.

This anime is decent, but it lacks some originality so far. The fat guy is the only intriguing character for the moment.

I guess people bring up SAO in Btooom discussion is because of the similarity found - both have the setting based on network games (though in SAO's case it is virtual while Btoom is in real world) and both have a survival theme, and as in SAO there is a love story going on which involve two of the game participants.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Damn they took out the necophillia scene. Aww :(

Also I must be the only one that thinks Miyuki's voice doesn't fit Kousuke. She's using the same voice she used when playing as Inaba which is just so wrong.

Don't see how that's impressive when it doesn't fit the character.

Another episode in which Sakamoto shows (to some extent) how much of an idiot he is..
Gosh, that attitude of him is so annoying. Kill or get killed. So simple.
If he doesn't want to actively kill someone by hunting the green sensors, fine. Would be a stupid anime if there's a pro killer and it would give a very negative image for all gamers anyway.
But not even when he's getting attacked? With bombs? Come on..

Pretty much this. But if one really thinks about it, the two shows are quite different in theme. Many anime viewers who are utterly dissatisfied by SAO likely expected it to be another survival game anime, while it never actually focused on that; SAO is much more about the adventure and the romance than the survival theme. I think people would enjoy the show more if they would treat it like an adventure/romance show, instead of a survival game thriller, because like I said, that's not what SAO is about at all.

Loving Btooom atm, the story is flowing really well even if it isn't following the mangas way of doing things. That kid was a little annoying but at least he has an intriguing personality.

I'm not a big fan on horror/scary scenes in anime, but the action makes it so exciting to watch. I really wish I could play BTOOOM! right now. I love the battle, it was AMAZING. Now, lets begin another wait of death till the next episode. NNNNNOOOO!

Damn psycho characters, so hard for me to hate.

Sakamoto, damn he was sooo awesome, too bad he only became that way because of his head injury. Loved the insert song too.

I can't see this wrapping up in 12 episodes, basically each episode so far has been introductory episodes for characters.

Best episode so far. Kousuke's a psychotic kid that killed three women then raped them. Like holy shit wtf! O_o Him killing his dad was crazy as fuck lmao, then again his dad was a real douchebag.

Oh man I just love how Kousuke's voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro, her laugh is so good. The fight was amazing. Ryota being all badass was too good. Figuring out how to radar cancel. The implosion type bomb looks so awesome. Pretty heavy stuff, but I really like it. >=D Insert songs were great, especially the jazz one. :D
Himiko VS Ryota next week, fuck yeah!

My reaction to the ending of this ep...

That was so stupid! I was really hoping that


The rest of the ep was pretty good though. The kid's ramp up to insanity was a bit quick, but still enjoyable.

I like how the battle was and that Sakamoto was in his game mode, but leaving that kid alive was a bad mistake maybe.

That was an awesome battle. We got to learn about how a pro plays the 'game', and also that Sakamoto went into a different mindset or something when necessary, which will help him survive in the future. Now he has 4 different types of BIMs, a lot. I also like how the beginning connected with the ending of last episode. I really like this series, it's growing more in-depth. I am looking forward to seeing Himiko join the group, and how she does (not willingly obviously).
5/5 Possibly tied with Magi so far.
