Title: Btooom!
Rating: 3.5 of 5

Btooom! is another anime which involves people who are taken from their everyday lives and placed into a 'game' setting.  In this particular case, the people/players are brought into the game of Btooom!.  It is a first player shooter but instead of using projectile weapons, only BIMs or explosives are used.  The main character starts off with no recollection of how he got to the jungle but quickly learns from another player what happened in the plane that brought them all here and the rules of winning (get 8 crystals).  He needs to deal with having to kill other players in real life.

There are several different types of explosives (eight in total?) that have been displayed so far...
   Crackers, explosives that explode on contact
   Timers, explosives that explode when the timer reaches '00'
   Impoders, explosives that draw in from the surrounding area then forms an implosive circle.

In addition, each of the players is fitted with a crystal in the back of their hand which can act as a sonar locating players in the surrounding area.  Players that are hiding (not moving) will not be displayed.  Expert players, like the main character, can use their sonar ping to cancel the sonar from an enemy player.
