where can i get the japanese movie Battle Royale in the english version in Ireland also to fans the sequel is coming out in Japan soon. also where can i get Vampire Hunter D on DVD.

for does who do not know B.R. is about a boarding school in which you have to fight to survive literally. the collars are a divice that allows the teachers to controll the students for if you try to fight your way out or do something bad lets just say you lose your head. for the collar is a remote exploding device. B.R. is a brill movie and if you see it buy it or tell me where to get it cos i cant find it any where.

and with vampire hunter d is the seed and bases in which blade was formed on in which a half human half vampire fights the demons and other beings it was so popular it was made into a game.

also myself and weemcd plan to form a group within the boards.ie site i get to name the group as i am better at the english/japanese ways.

i am thinking along the lines of the jade dragon cos we are both irish but we love Japan. p.s. Adam and Joe go Tokyo rock.

erm..
battle royale is NOT about a boarding school..
it's about a goverment lottery to randomly choose the class of students that will be moved to the island and forced to endure the 3 day killing spree...

the teachers themselves have nothing to do with it. and the collars are not really a means of contro, more a way of making sure they play the game..

to buy battle royale you'd be best off ordering online, www.play.co.uk www.amazon.com www.ezydvd.com.au are just a few sites, maybe www.cdwow.ie even have it.

as for the group.. there already is a sort of boards anime group, it's on another forum www.mangatoanime.com (another of clouds sites), the irish forum is at eirtaku.mangatoanime.com
and the website is www.eirtaku.com although not much has been done with it yet.

Well, if you can't find it you must not have been looking very hard. You can pick up the special edition of Battle Royale in Most HMV's and Golden Discs. In fact I just saw Battle Royal a few hours ago in all its lurvly shiny'ness in its metal box, down the road in my local HMV. I think it might be included in that new sale HMV are doing, but i aint 100%.

No it's not. Not only is blade two years older (it was made in '98) it is also based upon a decades old (mid-70's I think) Marvel character.

I got my Battle Royale in HMV pavillions Swords and I think they have some more copies still. Forbidden planet should be able to get you Vampire Hunter D. Otherwise just use the sites already mentioned.

actually vampire hunter D was made in 1985....

vampire hunter bloodlust was made in 2001...

so it really depends on which movie he was talking about

and aye, blade was based on some comic book character

My ex accidentally broke my battle royale dvd, and the bitch never bought me a new one:(. That was the original vanilla version though. I must buy the special edition one, are the extras actually good?

They can be quite expensive but sometimes there are bargains to be had.
