Chiming in to say that all I knew about BR before all the hoopla over HG was the title, that it involved either kids or manga-folks drawn to look like kids, and that it was Japanese in origin. Seriously. That is all that "heard of it" meant in my case and it's actually more than I know about several other "classics." Granted, I'm not a children's author, but it doesn't strike me as unlikely that a writer of books for any audience in English wouldn't be pursuing familiarity with books for that audience that originated in a different language.

DA

But like you say you'd still actually heard of it, which is the part of Collins' denial that seems pretty implausible. She says she'd literally never even heard of it at all.

I had literally never heard of it at all until after I'd read the Hunger Games. I never really watch anime, although I do consume a fair bit of YA lit. Writing a YA dystopic book doesn't mean you've read/watched every bit of the genre, and it seems silly to assume that is so. I mean, shit, my favourite show in the world is Leverage, which was an American show on a cable channel that went for 5 years, not really obscure or tiny, but I never assume everyone's heard of it--many people never have.
