Robojack and Grendelsage you have made me very happy...
It is always nice to have people read it and then to hear them follow up on the absolute greatness of the book. And grendelsage, I totally agree about Kazou's character. Another character I was just irritated with was the 'teacher' character that was created for the film. I think out of anything that was my biggest problem with the movie. Especially when the Sakamochi character from the book was perfect as it was. I don't get why they had to change him into a disgruntled former teacher and then that whole crap with him painting that picture at the end and ugh, it makes me want to go die.
Either way, I admit I have been a little rough on the film and even though I don't like it nearly as much as the book, I agree with Wanderer that it is fun and that is what it really is all supposed to be. I just take every opportunity to tell people about how great the book is, because, like you guys have shown, the book is a completely different and very satisifying expereince.
Anyone here into the manga version by chance?? I have been reading that as well and I think it is good, but you know, it really takes the sex and violence to a new extreme, which is cool sometimes and sometimes not so cool.
