Btooom! (Anime)




Ryōta Sakamoto, ranked 10 in the world in an online video game called BTOOOM!, wakes to find himself on a desert island where he has to play his favourite game for real.

Has a distinct 'Battle Royal' influence with a unique take using various explosives called 'Bims'. Deals with some serious adult themes and has extreme violence, but keeps the gore to a minimum (there is still a bit of gore though). Some fan-service, but not used in a blatant nonsensical fashion for the sake of it (i.e. H.O.T.D.).

Currently available on Netflix in English dub. Voice acting was a bit bland, but the story was entertaining and characters are interesting.

1 Volume, 12 Episodes. Future volumes pending manga release.

I enjoyed it. It's as long as it should be: 8/10


Burning Gas Bims = OP. Nerf plz.
