I'm sure some of you have heard of it, but I just heard of it recently. It's a really sick concept and I think people who like Gants would like Battle Royale. Battle Royale isn't an anime. It was first a book. I just went out and bought it and I can't wait to start reading it. I'm also downloading the movie right now It's about a class of junior high school students who are taken to a deserted island where,as part of some autoritarian progrem, they are provided with arms and forced to kill one another until one survivor is left standing. It's like a modern day Japanese version of Lord Of The Flies. Anyway it looks really good for anyone who's interested in downloading the movie or whatever. It has Chiaki Kuriyama from Kill Bill in it also so thats a big plus lol. If you didnt know she's a big Gantz fan ;D

i have seen the movies; first one is the only one worth watching.
it'd be hard to do this, you'd have to figure out a bunch of weapons that would/wouldn't suck and make us roll for them using your own dice or something. I would play, though, I guess.

lol if it wasn't for me Ronnie wouldn't have ever seen the movie, but anyway I say we can sum how give it another go. For one we can't let Tjad mod it again, no offense, but maybe like me or KBell or sumbody mod it insted. And the mod can't can't take sides like giving one guy a pair of binoculars and another guy a rocket launcher, but the infamous pot lid should make a return for comic relief lol

i think there should be a some unfairness in the giving of weapons since just that's how Battle Royale is. But it should be random though

i've got too much on my plate right now with RE RP (havent' started updating yet), and my new Prototype. Almost ready to open Prototype, it's gonna be badass. I could play this, but I don't think I'd wanna mod it right now.

Nexas never likes the movies or animes that spawned from manga, but comin from me, Ronnie, and Kbell, the movie is pretty good. just make sure its the first one like KBell said

Also I think it was a novel before it was a manga.

Im reading the novel now which I think would be the best. It's really good so far. I'm not too far into it though I just started. It's cool because the way he writes sometimes reminds me of the way we RP. How he says people react like half extending their hand and I dont know it's cool. After I'm done with the book I'll watch the movie.

The movie sucked. All of the deaths looked photoshoped, Kiriyama has a scense of happyness when he kills (in the book he can't smile seeing that there is something missing in his brain for that emotion), Kiriyama dosen't die by Noriko's hands and insted replaced with a pussy fight with Kawada and Kiriyama, and the ending in which the host had a huge obsestion to Noriko was pathetic. If they decided to make the movie more closer to the novel then I would have had better time watching this crap. Although the manga did a few changes as well to the story (the Sugimura/Kayoko part is the bigest part that comes to mind) but with every change they did they tryed there best to enhance that story ten fold.
Although I do have to thank the movie for introducing me to the band Dragon Ash.

So far the novel is amazing. I'll download the manga afterwards. The movie finished and I watched up to what I have read so far and already noticed huge changes in the movie from the book. Yoshitoki dies completely differently. I defintitely know I will like the book better already,but the movie still looks like it will be good, I just have too accept that it won't be as good as the book lol

Okay so I have off of work today which gave me some good time to read the book. I've read over 100 pages already and I watched the movie up to what I have read and I have to say I am being more and more dissapointed by the movie. The book is so good and when I read like 50 pages it is equivalent to not even 2 minutes in the movie.
They havent even shown any relationships in the movie what so ever. The only ones they have shown were Nakagawa and Shuya. They barely got into how Shuya and Yoshitoki were friends. They had ONE flashback..thats all. I can't believe how non detailed the movie is so far. It was starting off good, but it's definitely getting worse.
In the book they explain in depth about Kazous gang and in the movie they explain absolutely nothing..just bam they are dead. I can't even form a liking for the characters because they aren't providing anything in the movie...I'm starting to agree with Nexas.
I'm not gonna say I hate the movie though because its still good and all, but everybody should definitely read the novel because it's awesome. I'm sure the mangas good too, but I cant see it being better than the novel.

hahaha well I'm starting to like the idea of RP'n Bttle Royale more and more.
I know Benry really wants to mod, but I would also really like to do it as well for this particular concept. I have some good ideas for it, but I don't care if Benry does it. It would be cool if wee could mod together, but that's probably not possible.
Either way I think we should definitely do it.

Battle Royale is sooo good. I first found out about it and started buying the manga in 7th grade, then finally found the book at my local books-a-million and have read it about six or seven times since. Then I got the movies last year. The first one was alright if you watch it knowing that it's gonna be much different from the book, but the second wasn't worth my time.
