blooddragon-73253 Game is manifold. It is thing that play in home, outside. VR and App are popular recently. I experienced VR last week. That's amazing. Thus game itself always keep on evolving. Unless companies go into bankruptcy. Incidentally, I don't like Mobile game. I have never played it before. I always have and I always will. Money is precious. Don't waste your time.Then, I talk Btooom! since now. Protagonist of this show is Ryouta Sakamoto. Ryouta is high level online player, and He is what you call "NEET". I hate NEET, but considering his cruel past, really sympathize with him. One day, when Ryouta woke up, he was in uninhabited island. He get into trouble there. He makes full use of inherent skill, bomb (BIM), radar, he need to survive this game. Another participant, Himiko. She is heroine of this show. She also have tragic past and circumstance as same as Ryouta. At first two persons don't act together, but they made them start to trust each other in a certain event.Story is simple than you would think. Kill and Kill. That's all. However, depiction of characters are wonderfully realistic (a bit of Sci-fi elements). Did I ever tell you the definition of life? Get busy living, or get busy dying. They must eat and fight to live. At times someone fall into madness. My point is that you can know human's real nature through this show.Characters are some mature adults. Ryouta is smart and intelligent. Himiko have not special skill, but she is very delicate. One of participant, Kousuke Kira is freaking cool child character. Though his turn never many, he will make an intense impact you. Promise also psychological battle with Ryouta and Kousuke. Not simply throw bombs each other. Nobutaka Oda and Hidemi Kinoshita are formidable pair. Spotlight of this show could say. I can't write about other characters because it is danger, but they are quite twisted.The Animation is plainly beautiful. Especially background, sunlight, forest, animals. Explosion effect is flashy and fresh. It use different organized depending on the situation. Art style is supremely likable. Each character has my type. Especially Himiko's design is awesome. Includes a little sexual content, but I think that opinions are divided. There is person that not be concerned about at all, or there is person that it is say dirty and unnecessary. I'm the former.Soundtrack is not impressive. It doesn't match some scenes. But It is basically not break atmospheres. Voice acting is solid. I tasted feeling like dub of Movie. I wrote it by Japanese style. OP and ED songs are best of this show. OP song is rock, stylish, and want to listen it over and over again. I love this song so much! Actually, I listened to full version of OP song in Youtube's official music video before I watch this show. No harm in trying listen. ED song is quiet melody about Himiko's sentiment. You will want to listen to it in regularly. Lyrics also got to the point of story. Very polite. Great Job, Nano and May'n.I express weak points from now on. First of all, story's progress is very slow. Somewhat takes time for begin to get interesting. Secondly, a certain character is ugly and mean bastard. I hate this character. Trademarks are skinhead and glasses. Finally, the story is unfinished. It depends on my interpretation is ended beautifully, but as I thought indigestion.On the whole, this show is drastically good. Individualistic and so many flaws, but still entertaining. First I avoided this show because I dislike protagonist's setting, but when I start watching, I was immersed before I knew it. This show also not for everyone. But if you love products like Bomberman, Far Cry 3, Lost, The Hunger Games, then you will enjoy.I watched this show by Rakuten TV (Japanese video distribution site). And I bought Blu-ray Complete Collection after a few days. The reason is that I love this show and I want 2nd season. There is no help for it now, but I did my best as much as possible. Although it seems some people have already given up, I'm still hoping.NO PAIN, NO GAME. THE CURTAIN RISES OF KILLING WITH A BOMB PLAY.

Mayank Agarwal What a disaster, the anime bored me to hell. The only decent stuff about it is the animation, rest all is terrible. The plot of survival in a deserted island is an old one, so no originality. I did like the concept of using bombs as weapons but with no explanation on the bombs & little use of strategy or fights the concept is defeated. The anime is without a background story of why this is happening and frankly doesn't have an idea of where it wants to go. Normally in a survival anime we are supposed to root for a character but in this anime it's not possible as everyone got a negative vibe about them. The main protagonist is a NEET who hits his step dad and throws things on his mother during flashbacks and now when he is in the island he is supposed to be a nice guy!!! Most of the characterization is super weak and boring. This was suppose to be a thriller anime with tons of action but is sadly missing both. Also the anime was dropped midway without conclusion so its total waste of time.

Asadullah Khan A more gory, brutal, adult themed Sword art online anime I would say. The story is that a lot of people, including the protagonist, find themselves on a deserted island where they are forced to play an exact real life version of a popular online game. It was interesting enough to get me hooked and anticipated for every next episode. The protagonist was good, in a way that they didn't made him too strong or something, but didn't made him a complete wimp too, kind of a balanced type which you normally don't get to see. But they just had to include an annoying girl with big boobs to add fan service and romance. The action was decent, layered with gore and brutality. The problem though is that firstly, the anime ended without any resolution or anything, it just ended in mid way. Secondly, even the 12 episodes felt cramped up. So many characters could have been fleshed out more.7.3/10

Jim Fess If your into kill or be killed, bloody, immoral, psychological & violent anime then this should be pretty high on your must watch list! I will say the story is fairly predictable but done really well enough that its still very interesting. This show is about killing 7 other people and taking there chips to be able to get off of this island they've all been stranded on with nothing but an assortment of bombs. I will say the weapons they get are pretty unique and make for a good story, the characters are pretty good, the main male character reminds me of Light Yagami from Death Note similar looks and thought process. I'm kind of sad that theirs not more episodes or a season two for it yet, i know the reason though two years ago when this anime was made they used every chapter from the manga(about 40-50) to make 12 episodes and since its a monthly chapter manga theirs only about enough content for another 6 episodes currently.Overall: 4/5. Why not 5/5? Well the overall outcome of everything is pretty predictable(so far that is, i haven't read the manga) but what can you expect for the story line there's not much more i could ask for(don't get me wrong though its end outcome is predictable yes but it doesn't fail to keep you watching and wanting more with every episode), my only other reasoning is that there's not a season 2 yet. This show came very highly recommend to me and everyone who's watched it liked it a lot or loved it, so i think they should write chapters a bit quicker.On a irrelevant note, because this anime is still ongoing and there isn't a season two yet and i enjoyed it so much i'm going to buy all the current mangas(about 50$ total) to help support its continuation hopefully it helps it on its way for a second season since it really isn't that old yet i'd say theirs a 75% chance for a second season especially with the ending of season one, its wide open with several big question marks!
