Madhouse Makes TV Anime of Btooom! Surivival Action Manga

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/new...kes-tv-anime-of-btooom-surivival-action-manga



It looks not bad!

Oh wow, I love Btooom! It's very similar to Battle Royale and has some really crazy tactics. Gonna be censored to hell and back though.

Oh, and it is nothing like HOTD.

so not at all?

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Anime doesn't die. The difference between the best productions and the real trash just gets bigger, with less groundbreaking stuff and a lot more crap being produced. That seems to be the trend with every art-form/industry these days.

Sailor Moon killed anime, such a shame

Please don't be implying what I think you're implying. Do I have to begin sharpening my knives?

F/SN spoiler"

Spoiler

To be fair, it is a prequel so it is given that outside of one "good" guy, everybody loses. Except Archer, he had a grand old time until Fate/Stay Night.

Indeed it did. The more series like Oniisama e the better. Down with non-classy stuff like Sailor Moon.

I'm so happy Yoshinari joined Trigger! IG didn't really fit him.

Damn right you are! I mean, I don't want to assume things about Production I.G, their people or any other present and past studio and their internal culture I don't know anything about, but after Mr. Ōtsuka's words putting emphasis on how they wanted more control and autonomy for their circle of associates (pals) over all the aspects on their future productions, there wasn't any other place more ideal for him to go, as he was one of those creative GEEKS.

And talking about that, Mr. Yoshinari & the gang were already scouting some days ago the talent to use on that upcoming short, much more younger than usual I must say (http://www.collabo-school.net/?p=3241). As a recent start-up I suppose they are too broke to pay for anything else.

I kid, I kid. I condemn any form of children exploitation.

It might be a bit over the top, but it is very well executed and has some great art and likable characters. It's Battle Royale for gamers, so I don't see fans of that disliking. Not everyone's cup of tea of course, but the guy who did it (he also did Otogi Matsuri which is great too) knows what he's doing.

It needs to happen
I (and probably many people) have far too many dvds and blu rays taking up space

Most people don't like Battle Royale just for groups of people killing each other.

Everything Battle Royale is good...

except for Battle Royale 2...

Oh, and PlayStation: All-Stars Battle Royale.

Well executed? I don't know about that. Seemed rather poorly handled to me, and I don't say that just because of the shock value stuff.

I've been meaning to watch Battle Royale.

Hunger Games was like a censored version of this

Hunger Games was like a censored version of this

I remember a friend telling me that there were no on-screen deaths in Hunger Games.

That's when I decided I wouldn't waste my time with it.

 

[Crash Station]

Most people don't like Battle Royale just for groups of people killing each other.

Yeah, they like it for the mind games, the emotional breakdowns, the character development, the "him or me" mindset reluctance, the complete monster villain, etc. All stuff Btooom! has.

Saint Seiya Omega 10

I have never seen a battle shounen anime that brings all these hyped characters together and still end up underwhelming. Very depressing achievement.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Yeah, I've seen that before. As much as things change, they still stay the same.

As an epilogue of sorts to all the AKB48 senbatsu election craziness from this morning, here is Yuko Oshima's inauguration speech:

Iketeru Futari 14

Hitokage's secret identity?

This is now a basket ball anime. And some nobody character has been added in just to add tension. He apparently loves Koizumi too, but like most men has been rejected. So now there's going to be a 3v3 game to claim the heart of Koizumi, but she wants none of this. Oh and did I mention that Saji and Yuuki are part of the basket ball club? Don't worry, the anime forgot to tell me too.

They sure bounce like basket balls.

 

[Defuser]

The real successor to HSOTD would've been Cage of Eden, anyways.

But over a hundred chapters yet we still do not have a adaptation yet.

Next year's Anime Mirai/Young Animator Training Project lineup:

- Little Witch Academia, Studio: Trigger, Director: You Yoshinari
- Studio: Gonzo, Director: Koichi Chigira
- Studio: Pierrot, Director: Kenji Muto
- Studio: Madhouse, Director: Yuzuru Tachikawa

This is the first production of Trigger (Imaishi's new studio) after assisting on Idolmaster and Black Rock Shooter.

Young Animator Training Project? Why is Yoshinari involved? He doesn't need any training.

Though the nonchalant-look was probably what the individual in the chair was shooting for, it comes off more as the, "Hmm, in retrospect I should probably tone down on this hobby," look.

Cat sensei is the only character that i can think of that uses marriage as a threat.

Ive thought about such thing.
