Think about it. Japan made Evangelion in 1995. Pacific Rim? 2013.
Battle Royale was written in 1996, published in 1999, and adapted to film in 2000. The Hunger Games? First book came out 2008, movie in 2012.
Paprika? Published in whole in 1993, adapted to film in 2006. Inception? 2010.

Not now chief, I'm in the fuckin' zone.
Im looking for a bento (that's japanese for lunch) box, it cant be pinku (thats japanese for pink) or any girl color. It has to be of 2 or more kotoba (thats japanese for 2 compartments) and has be be chibi(small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make sure it's kawaii [cute]). And it would be nice if it came with matching chopstick holder (WITH chopsticks). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of ceramic, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (korea) or whatever. I have found a bento box similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was 1 kotoba, and i dont want my gohan (rice) to touch my other things (it can get wet and i would not like that, plus 2 compartments looks more kawaii)

Running man isn't about schoolchildren having to kill each other to teach them a lesson in manners, and I don't think the events of Battle Royale are televised, though its possible the winners become famous, though that makes it really weird that teenagers dont know anything about it.

Hunger Games is a direct ripoff of Running Man and not Battle Royale though

That's probably true

And I guess the greater theme in Battle Royale too is pretty similar to Running Man as well. Battle Royale is still both shocking and hilarious, and thats the important part.

I think they mention that it's televised in the books. I'm not a hundred perecnt on that, I read the book years ago, and it wast that terrible old translation that got character's names mixed up, so who knows.

Isn't the book also set in an alternate history where the Axis powers won WWII? The movie basically has no backstory or exposition or anything, beyond references to some resistance or something if I remember correctly, I never really bothered too much with the fine details of Battle Royale's (the movie that is) plot.

In Japan, an original version of the show "Sing what happens" (Killer Karaoke) broadcasts on a premium channel and adult BS Sky cable! . In this program, several candidates must sing a song they learned by heart and not to be distracted by the young lady who is beside them and is masturbating them, sometimes with her hands, sometimes using her feet. These candidates must carry a tune in absurd conditions, without being distracted and if possible until ejaculation..

Counter-point: They made Battle Royale 2.

Actually I take that back. The movie actually features a rugby player in full uniform throwing an exploding ball, rules that make no sense, and it's massively pro-terrorist. The end of the movie actually has the heroes join Al-Quida, more or less.

It's bat poo poo enough to be worth a watch but is a travesty compared to the original.
