lol it still isn't funny lol I've seen BR1 and BR2 and this was totally weak, the only thing that was worthwhile was hearing the music from the opening credits for 2 seconds.
Yeah, "funny anime-spoof" definitely means "actual Battle Royale anime" to me, too.I read the novel and saw the movie, and I enjoyed some of the references here. It certainly wasn't the violent powerhouse of a manga-based anime version of BR, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't trying to be.
You've seen a lot of anime but you hate it? What the f**k... Just what the f**k. Surely after seeing a bit of anime you'd be able to make an informed decision on whether or not you like it. It just doesn't add up. Why would you have seen so much anime if you hate it... It's like me watching MTV every day and then going on about how s**t television shows are. Don't tell me you were forced to, now, come on.

I like the idea, but I would have liked a cutesy translation rather than an homage. Still, it's alright.

Why a remake when the original was such an amazing film? Subtitles, use them.

Has anyone here read the original book? I think its way better than the manga or the movie.
