Btoom!

The only thing I can say about this anime is," Holy Crap, this story is crazy!" Its about people playing a well known online game named Btoom and the main character, Sakamoto, is one of the best players on the game. The game itself is simple.All you have to do is destroy your enemy with the different type of bombs that they give you. Why they only get to use bombs I really don't know.

Anyway, Sakamoto may be a pretty cool guy in the virtual world, but in reality he's a bit of an self'-centered jerk. He has no job, no social life of any kind besides virtual and lives off of his parents. His parents have had enough of him, but it looks like they don't know what to do with him, especially, the mom. She looks like she might drop and die any second now and you can tell that she's deeply depressed, not that her son cares or anything.

One day, he wakes up hanging from a tree in a parachute with no memory of how he got there. Before, he can find any clue to what is going on some guy comes out of nowhere and starts throwing bombs at him. Later, he discovers that someone has made a real version of the game Btoom on a deserted island and the only way that your going to get off is if you kill eight other players and steal their chips that were planted on their on hands. But, he decides that he doesn't want to kill anyone unless completely necessary which in my opinion is the whole time he's on the island.

You come to find many different types of people on the island. Some old, some young, girls, boys, people that don't really deserve to be there. They're some that do and some that are just completely twisted in the head. Those twisted people are the real obstacles to his goal. They're mean, cruel, tough and some are as good Sakamoto when he was playing the game. This is a place where you have to be on your guard at all times even when your with your allies because you never know they just might betray you when an opportunity presents itself.

I think theirs a lot more to the story and I think Sakamoto a big part of it, he just doesn't know how big. I do wonder who's behind this and why this gaming company is doing all of this. My theory on the whole thing is that the gaming company that created this whole cruel event made it to get data from the reactions and strategies that the real live players made from it, so they can use it to make future games that they make better and more realistic. But, their is one thing I keep thinking about. Won't the cops be looking for these people once they go missing? I barely doubt they'll miss the fact that a huge group of people suddenly just popped out of existence.

This story is insane, disturbing, graphic and very gory. If your into that kind of manga then this is the story for you. I have to warn you though if your not into rape and torture then please don't pay any attention to this because some of the images shown will most likely stay in your brain forever. Also, I'm not really sure about the relationship between Himiko and Sakamoto because it looks to me that Sakamoto had a virtual romance a long time ago and really wanted to meet that person, but the only clues he had about her was her name and that she was a player on Btoom.

He thought the Himiko he found and allied himself with is the same girl, but she says she's not. I think she's lying though because she doesn't trust men. I think that later in the story she's going to reveal she is the same girl. During, their time together you can tell that their both kick ass in this event, she was really holding her own before he even came along. So, you know that they would be okay if they ended up separated, I just worry about her because she's a girl and all. They're a lot of crazy and desperate men on the island and I would hate to see her become one of their victims.

The manga is still ongoing, so what is going to happen at the end has not been revealed yet. I bet its going to be epic though. Enjoy this mind blowing adventure.

Thanks for Reading!
