Watched a dubbed version, I think subbed would’ve been better…
My main thought coming away from this was: that was weird. The plot, while outwardly straight forward, had a lot to say. There’s a lot of flash backs and references and things going on.
The obvious comparison to make is to the Hunger Games series. The latter is a lot more cinematically pleasing, but it feels that Battle Royale approaches the conceit in a much more adult, nuanced way. It doesn’t shy away from the violence or from complexity and ambiguity.

Obviously super subjective, and subject to change often and arbitrarily.
