|  Yes I know Battle Royale!! I've never read the manga, or didn't know there was an anime series of it, but I've watched the movie already. Yes, it was all blood. It was first a novel, which became very controversial, released around 1998 or 1999 I think. I forgot the author of the novel, though. Gomenasai!
The program you're talking about is the "BR ACT" or Battle Royale Act program imposed by the authorities. According to the novel, it was a time where Japan is facing major problems: adults have no work, and children started to rebel, not going to school anymore. So they imposed the BR Act. It is a game, where a class from different schools are picked in terms of drawlots (the classes picked are those from poor schools or with a lower standard of education). Then, the class picked will be sent to an island where they would play. The host of the game is usually their homeroom teacher. But the students, of course, aren't informed. They're like being kidnapped.. Lols.. They will be put to sleep and the moment they wake up, they're on the game, wearing those necklaces (what are they called again..???) which will help the homeroom teacher and the rest of the goons in control of them.
So there... Once they're on the island, they'll be oriented of course. What's the game about, the rules, etc. Yosh!!! So the rules are simple: KILL ONE ANOTHER. The last person who survives after 3 days will be the winner. so, you have to KILL a friend in order for you to survive. Who likes that, huh? They will be sent out one by one from the main base (which is an abandoned building) and there... They're free to kill. The necklaces (I really forgot what it's called) are tracking devices so the goons will know if either they're dead, or in danr zones. One can't remove these because if they do, it will explode!! When they go out, they will be given each a bag where it contains food, water, map, flashlight, etc, and a weapon. Heehee.. ENOUGH!! Just watch the movie, please!!
Well anyway, what I think of the movie? Bloody. Hell, it's bloody. There's some kind of psychological factor in here also. You see, will you be able to kill your friend just for you to survive a freaking game? Or will you risk your life in order to save the other? Damn... hahahaha... It may be kind of bloody, or a bit morbid, but I still love Battle Royale.
WATCH the Movie, Please!!! Also, there's a second movie of it. So please watch!!
