Yes we all know Battle Royal came out first it was a good manga series yada yada yada. If we are going to say anything with a similar plot device is a rip off then Harry Potter is a rip off of lord of the rings and Lord of the rings is a rip off of well any fantasy book before it. Also Batman is a rip off of Superman so don't bother reading anything about batman. Don't bother watching NCIS because that is a rip off of CSI and don't watch CSI because it is a rip off of mystery shows before it.Link55 said:If you have not seen BR it was a novel in 1999 and a movie in 2000. It's based in present day Japan were kids in school every month to year have to fight to the death in atleast three days. Such as in The Hunger Games there is romance between characters and theres action. These two stories are very similar in many ways. To watch the first BR go on youtube.com/movies its free. The second one you just have to find yourself.

Well my bad I didn't see it.Relish in Chaos said:Everyone already knows about this since the film came out months ago and MovieBob made a note of it in an Escape to the Movies video. You're late. Like, very late.
This is the true meaning. There's even a demopan.Dead Raen said:Battle Royale is a metaphor for the massive weapon imbalances in TF2, such as how almost every gun except for two have a bottomless magazine and that one bit where the admin takes favor of a single player by entering the game and giving them the 300% crit umbrella.
Hax.

Guys you do know Battle Royale was also a book before right? Come on. Also the lack of setting is not necessarily a bad thing, it's something that the novel does very well.clipse15 said:I agree with your battle royale assessment
Yes I'm aware that battle royale was a book before it was a film. That doesn't really excuse the fact that its still a poor film in my eyes.Lovely Mixture said:I've only read the Battle Royale novel and learned second hand about the Hunger Games. My gist is:
Hunger Games creates a world and describes it.
Battle Royale gives you a world, but you only learn bits and pieces of it.

Did you read The hunger games? Or are you basing this on the movie? If it's the latter i suggest you read the book before casting the first stone .Link55 said:If you have not seen BR it was a novel in 1999 and a movie in 2000.
