Btooom! (2012– )
4/10
Episode one isn't good.
18 September 2018
So I watched episode one, and decided not to watch any more. Here are my thoughts.

Well first of all, the theme song is unbearable. In my experience, when anime has a creative op with great music, it ends up being a great anime. When the theme song is crappy, the show is crappy. Every anime I've seen is perfectly reflected by the theme song. This show has a op with bad singing, and boring visuals. From what I watched, that perfectly reflects the show.

The tone of this show is kinda annoying. It takes itself waaay too seriously. Its trying to appeal to all the 10-year-old edgelord gamers who they know are watching.

The protagonist, who is like the only character in episode one with any development, is extremely unlikable and stupid. I would not want to follow him for any more episodes.

The animation and art is alright, though a bit generic.

The voice acting and background music/sounds is ok. Nothing too noteworthy.

Episode one is mainly filler and does nothing that makes me want to keep watching. There's a lot of bits where the protagonist talks about stuff he already knows to himself, because the writers couldn't figure out a way to convey the information to the audience.

Overall, I wouldn't recommend this show. Maybe it is brilliant by episode 2, but I doubt that.
