Pfft...I'm not actually going to make a comparison! I've never read The Hunger Games...
I'm just saying that...
I'm so glad all these news media are talking about Battle Royale~! X3
I remember when I heard about The Hunger Games I was like 'Sounds just like Battle Royale'...and now I seen tons of people agreeing with me~! :D
While most kids at my school were reading The Hunger Games I was reading Battle Royale...didn't realize the irony of the situation...we're basically reading the same book.
Though there are probably obvious differences between the two.
Again, I've never read The Hunger Games, I'm not calling it a rip off of Battle Royale...actually, I'm not really saying anything except that I'm glad people are talking about Battle Royale! XD YAY JAPAN~! :D
I think the plot is pretty common. I mean, look at the Lord of the Flies...there are have been many books about the kids killing eachother and the government forcing people to do stuff in a dystopian future....
Except I don't think Battle Royale was in the future...O.o; I've noticed that in a lot of Japanese novels that they don't have a bad future, it's just a bad alternate timeline...y'know, y'know...O.o;
There were a few other stories I've read, one took place in liike the '70's and the other look place in liike the '90's and they made the world look like it could be an unfortunate future, but it was actually just a change of events that took place to make a different world than reality, while keeping the same known timelines.
Hrmm...I'm being to ramble now...O.o;
I've been hearing about The Hunger Games for weeks now and it seems to be on everyone's minds so I thought it was appropriate to post this.
Okay, bye-bye~! (Pointless post)
