All I can remember is they were pit against each other and had to fight to the death with completely random things for weapons. Must watch again.

It's comedy. Seriously, it's comedy with zombies.

I think there actually two Battle Royale movies. The one I saw was all gore, there wasn't any sex in the movie.

The 2nd movie sucked so badly it made George Bush look like a saint.

The first one was good though

@Dan: Shh! Don't tell him it's comedy! Just let him watch it!

Elfen Lied really isn't meant for the queasy. If you can get be the first episode then you shouldn't have any problems watching the rest of the anime. It's fairly deep and deals mainly with human nature, though there are traces of sci-fi. It's probably one of the most mature anime that you can find.

Blood/gore never bothers me in anime, no matter how gruesome it gets. If it were real, then I would be disturbed.

Gantz made me queasier than Elfen Lied honestly. I enjoyed both though. They are definitely more mature but a regular anime/manga fan could handle them.
