Between the original novel, movie, and manga books, which did you find better?

For me:
I have always been a big fan of the novel.
The movie was alright, with some confusion here and there.
As for the manga books, couldn't really get into the "groove".

The Manga is definately better then the movie, alas I have not yet read the novel though.
Nine Inch Nails' album 'The Fragile' fits perfectly with the Manga I found

ahahaha as for me, everytime I listen to BoA's Moon and Sunrise,
I keep thinking of Battle Royale.

That is because I kept listening to that song non-stop as I was reading the novel xD

Hmmm

Well I haven't read the manga or read the novel

But the movie was awesome, but then again I think it was because it was on such a massive killing spree with no hope that I liked ^^

I actually like the manga the best. The movie is too condensed and short. Also it's a bit
too..."tame" needless to say, although that's to be expected due to the content in the
book.

The manga, because I am rubbish at visualizing what happens in books, and it gives more information on the characters than the movie ^^

I happen to like both the manga and the movie. I don't know why, maybe it's because the manga is longer but the movie is movement.

The movie is pretty good, but first of all it's only a movie, and second of all it totally alters a lot of what happens to the characters. Basically, it changes too much that really worked for the manga and novel.

Now, choosing between those two is really difficult. I mean, a lot of the insights you get with the manga really help you get a feel of the deeper stuff going on behind the scenes. Also, I'm really glad they let Hiroki and Kayoko get together

...But...Mitsuko gets seriously screwed up. And Mitsuko rocked the novel-this sociopathic girl who only is nice to one person (That being Yuhiko).

Dunno. Manga and novel rate about the same for me.
