Also, as the title states, the most important part of this post is to tell you all of my new discovery....Battle Royale! Yesterday (while procrastinating on studying for my chemistry exam), I came across a video comparing The Hunger Games and Battle Royale and I was very intrigued to see just what types of similarities could get certain people to cry foul that Suzanne Collins had stolen her ideas from another source. And I was instantly hooked when I read the premise for BR.
Anyways, when I do get around to reviewing BR I will be keeping HG out of it. I personally do see many of the similarities presented in both works; however, they both shine in their own ways and I want each one of them to soak up the praises without the other one taking away some of the glory.
My BR status is that I have finished the movie version....
I am currently reading the manga version (I just started today and am on like chapter 7...I'll probably be done during summer break :) )
And I will start the novel version ASAP =]
Have any of you read/watched Battle Royale before? And if so, what are your thoughts on it?
Wdebo :)
Edit: (May 5,2012) I have finished Battle Royale (Manga) and the second movie and will be posting a review soon-ish :)
