"oooo"

The movie was based on the Novel, which is explained everywhere.

I just wasn't sure if it was ultimately, the Manga was the novel, but meh...

Why should it? As far as I know, it was a commerical success with a specific audience.

Just based on Tokolosh's definition. Lord of the Flies has never had a specific audience.

Oh right. I saw the words "commercial success" highlighted in the quote. You're probably right. On second thoughts, it's arguable that it even is a cult since it's accepted as one of the most loved novels in English literature, which would kill off such a "cult status"

That's pretty much my thoughts, and why I didn't consider it cult. Perhaps it's different in other countries.
