I don't know if it's true, but from what I heard from resident Japanese, anime is mostly watched by children ages 3-10. After that, kids are too busy with school work and after school activites to deal with TV. I'm sure they watch some stuff on Friday and the weekends, but it's definitely not as much as the children.

Didn't know that. What kind of things do they get pissy over? I've always been curious about their culture and stuff. What kind of stuff on TV makes them mad? It just seems to me that America is wayyyy to sensitive compared to them.

I was thinking about seeing it but I heard there are rape scenes in it and that's where I draw the line. Is that true?

A Bunch of Teenagers stuck on an Island Killing eachother. basically It's a government plan to straighten up the way the kids are rebelling and getting out of hand. At the begining Their Teacher kills one of the students by throwing a knife at her head.

Edit: No Rape scenes in the movie. a couple of attempted ones, but no actuall rape.

It's pretty brutal. One guy beheads some dude, then stuffs a grenade in his mouth and throws it in to a building to kill whoever else may be around.

Buy it off of ebay from one of the Hong Kong ones. It has all the cut scenes in it. (It's basically just back story stuff)

Well, back story stuff is quite important to me. Besides, I just hate watching a movie, knowing it's cut.
Are the subs any good on the HK ones? I had some horrible experiences with some HK DVDs I bought.

The subs are pretty good, I'd say. I would recommend you get the special edition one that's 2 DVDs. There is Korean and English subtitles on it. That's the one I got, and the subtitles are good.
