I always forget that most of the violence in the film is more implied than shown. Someone fires a gun and in the next scene there's some red paint on the other person's clothes, they're not even damaged.
I'm not familiar enough with Madame Bovary, but this starts with outlining Japan as an Asian Nazi empire that never lost in WWII where practically everyone has a story of the state murdering someone they knew just to send a message, and that's before the kids are dropped on Murder Island.

I also tried reading the manga before but that art style DOES NOT work for me.
This gets brutal.
The problem is that you pretty much mourn every single one of those 42 people. 😭
Well, maybe not Kiriyama.
I think I may be annoying about Battle Royale for a while.
They DO throw around a lot of red paint though.
