We had "Accel World" followed by "Sword Art Online". And coming up next will be "BTOOOM!", another anime title adapted from its manga counterpart, featuring a virtual reality theme (yet again). :D

After some research from various sources, the storyline of "BTOOOM!" focuses on Sakamoto Ryouta, a 22-year-old NEET. Even though Ryouta is an ordinary person in real-life, he happens to be one of the top players in the online game "BTOOOM".

As the storyline progresses, Ryouta finds himself mysteriously transported to a tropical island, whereby he discovers that there are fellow human beings, but unexpectedly, almost everyone is out to kill one another! Can Ryouta find his way off the island?

All right, the above doesn't sound like the typical anime title which Gambler would be interested in. The female protagonist, Himiko, as protrayed in the following manga images, changed my mind. :D

The covers of the tankoubon volumes resemble the boxes of Xbox360 games, which amused me quite a bit.

Not forgetting a link to the official anime website, although not much information is available at the moment: http://www.btooom.com/

Well then, is anyone else looking forward to Himiko... erm... I mean "BTOOOM!"?

I dunno, not a fan of the art design.

But I won't judge it until I see at least five episodes.

The manga is surprisingly good to me. And they managed to keep the manga's design for the anime too.

Manga is pretty good and bloody, hopefully they'll make some good stuff out of it.

Then again, some scenes in the manga were a bit too... bold?

Spoiler:

like, the kid raping women's corpses


though I hope even those will get past the censors. :D

Episode 1 is out.
Spoiler:
It was a pretty good first episode. I HNNNNNGGG'D at that last part when they showed the main blonde girl. I'll continue watching this show for now. Also, I really like the opening song.

it takes too long for the manga to update. Definitely rivals, if not surpasses, Mirai Nikki

The only thing that made me interested in the anime is the title, and episode 1 was a blast!

Episode 1:
Spoiler:
Can't say I was too thrilled with this episode. First, because we get an obviously crazy and murderous guy as Ryota's first opponent that exists as cannon fodder and to present the moral dilemma. Second, Ryota didn't immediately figure how a timed explosive worked, even though it's just a box with a button and timer on it.

Rant:
Spoiler:

The only thing that bothered me was that this guy is about as sharp as a hammer. I was literally screaming at the TV, "Dude, it's a thing that EXPLODES, it has a TIMER, you wasted ,what , THREE of them and went 'duuuuuh it dun go explode', it took you HALF of the episode to figure out what the thing is. What the hell did you think it was? a fuqqin' calculator."
What twist the knife was this guy was supposed to be the best player of a game all about BOMBS.


Other than that it looks interesting. I always wanted to see trap based combat. Out witting the enemy with little resources and using the environment to gain just a little advantage over the next guy. Also, I saw rambo on the next-ep preview.

The first episode wasn't half bad. I might actually continue this.

Dat sexy bitch

Episode 2.
Spoiler:
Well...that was a rather unpleasant episode. Nice to know that in this show, hot guys(No homo) and fatass otaku freakshows are rapists. Usually it's one or the other. Ugh. I prefer not to discuss an episode like this at length.
