The only reason I know about Battle Royale is because I went through a weeaboo period. I heard about it in the Japanophile cirlces I ran in, and nothing about it in the wider culture. After I got out of that phase, I didn't hear about it again until people online started complaining about the Hunger Games.

You're seriously overestimating the extent to which people outside of certain subcultures have heard and talk about Battle Royale.

DA

But the point is you HAD heard of it.

Suzanne Collins is denying even that much, which is the part that seems off.

ayrt

But my point is I wouldn't have heard of it if I wasn't really in to Japanese media. I was in a subculture where it was very likely I'd hear about it. The people I knew outside of that subculture hadn't.

Even today, after all the comparisons, I still run in to people who never have heard of it. It isn't that weird for people to not hear about a cult foreign film.
