IGN reviews import Battle Royale DVD

If I'm not mistaken, it's "yariman" and not "yuriman".

Gee, Thanks Toei. They could have at least put a ridiculous price on the liscense.

I would normally think, "OK, that's understandable," but Ichi the freaking Killer just got released. Eh, whatever, at least I already have my copy.

but y'see americans blame EVERYTHING for their own stupid actions, so they think a film full of schoolkids would give other idiots ideas... not to mention that families of kids shot up at school could sue the film studio for 'mental anguish'.

see worst we get over here is kids beating each other up at school... and if they're asked a reason why they did it it's usually "he called my mum a slapper" and not "marilyn manson, jesus, doom and jay leno said to.."

so er, yeah, you don't deserve it thanks to the astonishing stupidity of some people. plus the fact it's not an amazing film, just quite cool.

Just like you're not an amazing rapper, just quite crisp.

Wanker.

Ask an American kid that and he'll say the same thing but with different slang. It's not the kids making that crap up to sue for extra money and cover up their own bad parenting.
