At a book store. It's actually fairly common, I'd assume that any book store in your town would have it.
Although, my copy was from France and I'm just taking quite a few peoples word for the common thing.

I honestly don't see what's so special about it. Uh oh, the Japanese public school system is a killer.
... So?
BUT MAN LOOK HOW SHOCKING IT IS IT'S VERY METAPHORICAL AND ALLEGORICAL AND ALL SORTS OF OTHER THINGS
Not really. Even the overall plot doesn't leave a whole lot. It's not a big deal.
Maybe I'm jaded and cynical, but I thought all of it was funny - most of all the idea that people would take it seriously.
Best use of the film: playing it on mute and overdubbing it with your friends.

Really? 42 students, sent to island, kill each other- basically Lord of the Flies meets The Running Man with an extreme focus on ethics, Japanese politics, and character development. It's pretty sorta kinda rather well-known.
(Casino Royale kicked ass).
Lord of the Flies? The running man?
Sorry, but animes arn't aired here, so I have no idea what you are talking about.

There arn't anywhere that sells mangas either. At least, I've seen a few DBZ ones... but really. Those you AVOID.
Only 3 animes I have ever seen aired: Pokemon, Digimon and DBZ.
The last two, one I followed the other which was at least interesting, but canceled, and DBZ which sucks.
Then came Toonami, and there were a few cartoons that were semi-animish. Like Beyblade. But that one was thrown out of the cycle as well.
Now I've basicly stopped watching television.

Dragon Ball Z does not suck. YOU suck for not knowing Lord of the Flies is a manga when it's a freaking BOOK.
Goddamn, man.

No, Lord of the Flies is a book, The Running Man was a book and movie. You haven't heard of them? (I basically meant the concept of Battle Royale bears similarities to both titles combined).

no, havn't heard of them.
I don't know much about the entire anime/mange/whatever genre besides what I hear about on the internet, and I can't go arround reading entire libraries for references (except the bookshelf with Fantasy :P). Basicly, if they arn't translated to danish I'm pretty screwed. Because there just isn't much english work here, and there ISN'T mangas. Sure, some people might actually like the two-three DBZ mangas that can be bought, but that isn't really much more than mare comic books, like Donald Duck or something. And sure, people know about pokemon, but that show is for children and you get LAUGHED at if you say you actually like it.
I have only heard (and that but barely) about such things as Naruto, One Piece, Cowboy Bebop, Gundam Wing, Evangelion and Adult Swim, whatever that is. And even if I do decide to watch episodes on you-tube or whatever, there really isn't anyone arround me that has any similar interests. And Goten X, crawl back into the hole you came from.
Sorry to have drawn this off-topic with my rantings.

Oh, no, you misunderstood me (or maybe I misunderstood you). Lord of the Flies is an English book from, I don't know, the 1920's and The Running Man was written by Stephen King, they're not anime/manga related.

I've read one Stephen King, that was enough.
If this Battle Royal reminds you of a Stephen King book, then I'm staying clear of it at any rate

It was really more of the concept, but yeah, I'm no fan of Stephen King either.

And... Apparently, the World Wrestling whatever-they're-calling-themselves-these-days is making a movie with Stone Cold Steve Austin... With a really familiar sounding plot. Ten convicts are sent to a deserted island, where they have three hours to kill each other or they all die. Last one alive gets off the island. Hmm...

The concept's been around since The Most Dangerous Game, which was like, 1920. Hell, it might've been done before that.
Whatever the case, the concept was nowhere near new when battle Royale came out. It just took a twist on the formula.
