Well, you got a point. But, as it happens, there is a rather biggish Naval Base in San Diego....

I just finished watching Battle Royale.
It was, well, quite interesting. Psychodrama, and stuff. And lots of mindless violence of course. I found myself laughing at most of the bloodshed... then I got a bit worried. Then I realised that taking the film actually seriously would be a much clearer sign of budding insanity. (Not that there's anything wrong with insanity, as long as it's taken in appropriate doses.) I also think the premise itself is a writer's heaven... yeah, it's a load of splatter pap, but it still has a myriad of possibilities. Won't get you any real respect or anything but it'll be interesting.
What really caught me in the beginning was the training video and the representer girl in it. You see, her voice, right from the first moment, sounded familiar. A few more seconds of pondering and - aha! Asuka Langley from Neon Genesis Evangelion! After watching the film I looked it up on imdb, and what do you know, the girl _was_ Asuka's seiyuu Yuko Miyamura. Go me and my excellent albeit mostly completely useless voice actor recognition skills!
Word has it that the director of Evangelion, Hideaki Anno, had something going on with Miyamura. After seeing her in that video, I can't really blame him. Khrm.

Indeed. I mean, Rei > Asuka, but definitely Asuka's voice actor > Rei's voice actor. Please don't flame me, Megumi-sama's great. And I wasn't talking about how good they are at voice acting per se.
/me looks for pictures to... make sure it really was her, yes, that's it *

Oh and one more thing. Battle Royale perused, or I daresay abused, quite a lot of classical music, which, then again, seems to fit anywhere. It's like, if you are doing a soundtrack for a film, you can't go wrong with some classical. This feels like a popular mindset in the Japanese film industry, and I pretty much knew what was coming when the Dies Irae part of Mozart's version of the Requiem started to blare in the beginning.
The combination of Bach's Air and a fighting scene coupled with some snarling and certain sound effects brought me interesting flashbacks of End of Evangelion...
Edit: and the "X people left" announcements were a bit of a problem, they reduced on the excitement factor. Then again, it helped keep track of the massacre and the names (my memory sucks when it comes to connecting names to people. Animals, programs, giant robots I can do, but not humans).
