All Things Battle Royale
 

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)

Haha, Mitsuko? Really? I gotta read that! XD

I've heard of it but never got around to seeing it or reading the novel...

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 :eek:

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 >.>

The manga will be re-released soon in "super size" volumes. 3 volumes crammed into one.

Battle Royale! Can you kill your own friends?
 

Who has seen this movie? Or read the manga or novel. What you think about it? I have only seen the movies! Yeah both. I did not like them . Come on is children killling their best friends. WTF! People say is the best movie but idk. they also say the manga is way better. i havent read the manga, but if it involves killing your friends as well ima go psycho!

Can I kill my friends?!
 

:eek:

No.

Not even if they are able to respawn.

yeah u should watch it. they gather a class of 42 students and put them in an island. they attack a necklace with a bomb. if you try to take it off ur neck explodes. out of 42 only 1 can survive the game. if their is more than one survivor in the game after 72 hours all the necklaces explode and no one wins. you could watch it in youtube

The movie's pretty awful, but could I kill my friends so that I could survive? Sure. It's instinct. I wouldn't kill my lover or dog or parents, but friends, sure - I hope they'd do the same. Besides, I don't have 42 friends, so the other nobodies would be the easiest to kill.

well honestly the novel is a million times better than the movie. reading it gives you a sense of realism while watching the movie gives me second hand embarassment and also seems corny at the emotional parts!

as to killing me own friends? no; but i think the book is an unbelievable "what if" sooo...

The whole class isn't friends... of course it would be easy to kill the ones that don't have a realationship with you. sad but true!

I can't believe people didn't like the movie?

I loved the movie! Especially the lighthouse scene. That scene was classic!

YouTube - Battle Royale - Lighthouse Scene

Well now... I might have to check out this story.

I'm reading a bit about it now, and it sounds... Interestingly disturbing, lol.

hahah. well what about someone that you really like shooting at you/ and u just wanted to protect them and confess.

watch it.

i loved the movie.

i first saw it when i was in the same level in school as those kids were & i was in a catholic school back then & i hated everyone.

so yes..yes, i can kill. >:3

KITANAI SORE

So much blood... I personally loved the movie, though.

Finally! Someone with good taste :mtongue:

The violence was never the drawcard for me personally. I heard about the concept before the hype over the violence was around and that alone got me interested.

I couldn't kill my best friend Rachel.

But I'd want to survive, so I don't know. I really don't think I would.

If it happened, me and Rachel would probably kill everyone else, then wait until the very last second, and hold hands and jump off the cliff.

What a lovely thought >.<

Kiriyama? I think thats his name, its been ages since ive seen that film, was the best character by far. none of that "shuuuuuya!" "nobuuuuuuuu!" rubbish.

Im suprised at how many japanese dislike that film.. its one of those that worked better when exported elsewhere in my opinion. Still one of my all time faves.

Kiriyaamaaaaaa :D He didn't say one line through the whole thing if I remember rightly.

Kyo from Dir en grey was offered a part in Battle Royale but his management wouldn't let him take it.

Oh that guy from Kawaiisugoipocky en grey?

Pah.. Might of made me have a pixel of respect for him :p

Woah woah don't reach for my PM button and bombard me will your fangirl screams サリーちゃん　:p

B****, GTFO :P I own this crib. LMAO xD

Offtopicness, must get..back..on..topic.

I'm writing an essay about the Death Note film and Battle Royale for media, so therefore I now know lots about the film and I've seen Battle Royale 20 billion times so yay.

Still? you have been at that essay since what? September? Longer? :p

Are you manually re-typing the scripts or something? :P

Death Note, Episode 21.. Here We go again.

It's 3000 words and I'm on an A now, cheeblet :D It's not my fault, the teachers were slack and didn't mark it until now xD

No suprises there then..

BR FTW

The second one had a good concept at the beggining but they spoiled it with the whole "war against grownups" crap.

I've seen both movies and I've wikipedia'd the manga. The first movie was a good one, but the second one, I've seen one problem with it: Why kill off one person just because his/her partner died? With the circumstances, it would be lessening your own chances of attack...

And kill my friends for survival? No, I wouldn't do it. I'd only kill them if they tried killing me. In fact, I would be the one to suggest that we stick together until everyone else (who is hostile) is dead, and then we would vote to either:

1. Turn it into a final battle between ourselves. But if I turn out to be the last one standing, I'd probably kill myself because it would be too hard to live with.

2. Wait for the timer to expire, then we die together.

But then again, maybe we could find a student who happens to be skilled in hacking, so we could screw the "bigwigs" over and escape the island.

Oh man!! thats a well ace idea!!! i wish i'd of thought of that!

BOKU NO PASOKON WA DOKO DESU KA

My Sarcasm Sense is tingling!

And translation, please?

Wheres my laptop? :p

Killing a friend is something that I would never do. If I wanted to kill them, then they wouldn't be my friends, now would they? Lol.

lol, I will not kill anyone in the first place.. huhu

I've read the novel and watched the first movie....I'd rather kill myself than kill someone else >.>

The manga is much better than the movie, but both are good. The original book is good too. And I wouldn't want to kill my friends but I would if I had to. They'd do the same.
