So Datespoiler[ finally showed his true intentions.
He was the one who betrayed Murasaki as well. It's lucky Himiko is friends with Murasaki. They never would have made it without her help.] Well, all is well that ends well ^^ |

Boob Defense Shield - deploy!
All in all a pretty silly episode, but not without its entertainment value. I love how Sakamoto-stunned says, spoiler["The old naive me is dead, eff yeah!" And then two seconds later, "Good old Taira-san would never blade us!"] Dumbass. Anyway, here's hoping for Season 2. |

It's called dramatization, something very common in anime. Especially this anime. Realistically if a bomb blew up from a few meters, a normal human would die not just from the explosion, but from shrapnel. And yet the main cast of the show survived without a scratch over and over from episode 1. So if you're looking for a logical show, this isn't one of them. |

When Taira spoiler[commits suicide the first thing I thought was "that explosion is waaaaaaaaaaaay too big for that type of bomb.] I then enjoyed the brilliant idea proposed by Himiko for spoiler[Ryouta to kill her. Kill the only person that matters to you, or kill the next crazy person that attacks you? Tough decisions to be made.] I'm actually impressed that they didn't go through with spoiler[a sex scene there. It would've probably been the least realistic thing so far if she was suddenly over her fears.]
I don't see anything about a second season anywhere, and I don't know if they were telling us there wouldn't be at the end, or if they were just messing with us. If you want to know what I'm referring to: spoiler[The final thing shown is "CONTINUE? YES/NO CREDIT 0"] |

Episode 12 (final)
So it seem that they ended a season here with the plan of doing another season, I see that there is going to be a few people angry about that. A big reason of why they will be angry is that the idea that spoiler[they have so many pieces is that they should be able to beat the game and finish things, but though they should be at the end of the game, that does not mean they are near the end of the story]. This kind of worked as an inverse in the SAO anime, we thought that spoiler[floor 75 meant they were 3/4 of their journey, but then they managed to finish it there]. In Btooom! they have spoiler[managed to get 6/7ths of what they need, so according to the game they should be done, not enough for another season. ] But the story does not have to actually spoiler[follow the rules of the game it is set in, instead the journey here seems to be that Sakamoto discovery about needing to be less self absorbed. And there seems to be the possibility that multiple players will be able to get off in a sequel season, since we find that there has been a mechanical failure within the game.] It actually seems that the guy who was spoiler[trying to get Saksmoto a job is having a hand in it. I am guessing that we will be seeing the rules of the game pulled apart, something started by the mechanical failure, and possibly ending with lots of people getting off]. |

Based on that ending, I sense a season 2 in the future although I did enjoy the series overall. spoiler[Tbh, I wanted to watch a duel between Himiko and Ryouta or at least, Oda vs. Ryouta again but neither happened
 ]
Still though, I found some of the themes and characters done right. Hell, I'm going to miss that OP song now; one of my favorites from the Fall Season - No PAIN, no GAME. |

Well okay. That seems like a decent way to leave things. They probably weren't going to be able wrap things up sufficiently. It'll be a bummer if the show never gets a season 2 but not much more so than if they'd just given us a crappy and rushed ending. So yeah, I'm happy to take a chance here.
And this was a really strong episode too. |

I wasn't a huge fan of this last eppie, but I do look forward to Season 2 which I think is pretty inevitable. I don't know the sales figures for Btooom! but I haven't heard anything about them being crap, so I think a second helping is pretty much guaranteed.
As for the eppie itself, I just didn't buy spoiler[Sakamoto's take on Taira-san. When somebody is trying to blow you and your erstwhile girlfriend up, I simply don't buy that you're gonna be all understanding about it, "Oh, Taira-san, this is all my fault! I killed you!"] Horseshit. Oh well. That still wasn't enough to douse my enthusiasm for the show overall. |

Well he did say he was going to spoiler[go insane] if he left him again, but too distracted by blondie, I mean he is not as big as her's but his is not tiny, especially for a guy.

But the whole reason Sakamoto "left" Taira-san in the first place is that he seemed to be dying from infection and went off to look for some medicine. What was he supposed to do - stay and watch Taira-san die? No, that whole element is crap. Plus I didn't like the fact that both Taira-san and Sakamoto were spoiler["talking" to figments of their imagination.] With Taira-san it made sense, but it was just dumb having Sakamoto do it, too.

Taira having a crisis..
Looks like everything that happened flipped a mental switch. spoiler[Never thought he would turn on them..] Lots of flashbacks in this episode. spoiler[In the end the one getting hurt the most was himself. Himiko was having a self-sacrifice moment. It was nice, but useless 'cause Sakamoto would never leave her.] Pretty sweet ending ^^ |

spoiler[ I got the feeling from the last scene (the "game continue yes/no Credit 0" that a continuation of this series is dependent on people buying the BD/DVD's? Or was it just being tongue in cheek?]
