Oh wow, that last quote was just awful.


Same could be said of Hollywood.

KITT was a Pontiac Firebird, not a Ford Shitstang.

I just picked this up today and started to read it. I'm loving the art work and the writing so far. The writing seems perfectly suited to the premise. This is a story about high school kids forced to kill each other until there's only one left...you were expecting Tolstoy, maybe?

Man, it is annoying whenever fans of a story make a strawman by pointing to some highly-regarded title/creator in a medium as an excuse/bad defense for the work in question.

Even putting aside complaints about the novel to manga adaption, the dialogue in the English adaption is just ridiculously stupid.
