Anyone a fan of the BR manga series? I am! I've also watched the movie 9 times and am planning to read the novel.

I can't even count how many times I have watched the movie... It's my favourite! The novel is amazing though, I would recommend it to everyone who liked the movie.
Is the manga anywhere near as good as the movie? If it is, I might check it out!

The manga is extremely explicit in terms of violence and sex......so check it out! :P

Thanks

You don't mind?? Well, it is amusing and even funny....in a gut-wrenchingly disturbing way.

It seems like hentai manga whenever Mitsuko is around X____X (that girl's clothes just keep slipping off her and her body is always in some suggestive pose)

I have seen both movies and they are excelent!

I liked the manga a lot more though. I guess Im just a little blood thirsty that way

The novel is next on my "to read" list (and I actualy do have a to read list, thats just how nerdy I am)

I didn't like the second movie at all. It's just not the same quality...

Personally I thought the movies were over-rated.. not bad though.
Too transparent with the morals for kids. You had one moral staring you in the face the entire time in the first one. "Don't be a bad kid or this is what can happen in the future!"
The second one was just an expansion with a bit more story and background.
I dunno how they made it out alive in the end though.. lol. Maybe they turned super saiyan or just teleported outta there, evading the deathly machine gun fire >.>
