ever heard of battle royale?

its a anime about a game to survive...heres the basic plot...

juvenile violence has risen sharply, so the state made a law where they citizens elect a classroom(yes a classroom as in highschool)and the two classes that win are sent to a island to kill each other...each person is knocked out with gas and put in seperate locations on an island...when they wake a necklace around them threatens to kill them if they do not kill everyone else on the island within three days...each person gets weapons...some real,some not.....but the worst part is that all these former friends must hunt each other down in order to survive....

sounds pretty good huh?
stick out tongue

well anyways i found this in blockbuster but the next day they took it off the shelf....so tell me...have any of you heard of it?

I've watched it, it's not an anime it's live action. Still brilliant though.

Lots of manga have spawned live-action movies. Like Tomie and City Hunter.

Well basicly the Japan is falling apart because of lazy unruly teenagers, in an effort to rectify the situation the Japanese goverment passes a law which states that once a year a selected class of 'bad apples' is kidnapped and taken to an island where they are outfited with exploding collars and told to kill each other. The rules are simple Each student is given a bag with food tools and a random weapon which can be anything from an uzi to a bin lid. The island is split into zones and each zone will broadcast a radio signal a appointed times, if a student is in a 'hot zone' their collar activates and explodes. The last one standing wins the game and their life, thats Battle Royale
