Live-action series adaptation of Haro Aso's Alice in Borderland (Imawa no Kuni no Alice) manga. The manga centers on Ryōhei Arisu (pronounced the same as "Alice" in Japanese), a male high school student who is irritated with his intolerable everyday life. One night, he tags along with his bad friends Karube and Chōta to hang out in town. However, the town is suddenly covered in giant fireworks. When he comes to his senses, Ryōhei notices that no one else is around. Finding themselves in a different world, Ryōhei, Karube, and Chōta are forced to participate in survival games or die right off the bat. The three fight to live, as well as to find a way back to their own world.

Re: Alice in Borderland [Action, Drama, Fantasy, Mystery]

The show started out promising but then became a bit stale (for my taste). It does enjoy a 7.9/10 IMDb rating though, I've rated it 7/10. I had expected more. It was already renewed for season 2, I might watch that.

It reminded me of the Cube (1997) movie at times. smile

Watched 2x2. The show has tons of plot holes (especially 2x1), but I still find it enjoyable enough to watch. smile

I liked most of s2 better than the tail end of s1, but didn't care for the ending. It's entertaining enough though.

Re: Alice in Borderland [Action, Drama, Fantasy, Mystery]

Our source sites changed the show status to "ended", but I can't find any news to confirm... Weird.

Can't imagine it'd come back the way it ended.

Having not even finished the show, I already agree 100%!

And I must say, they really did a good job making everything look post-apocalypse. More or less perfect! Sooo many shows screw(ed) this up.

Having now finished season 2, I agree... I had expected more, but it was "okay" like this.

Yeah... Possible, but not very likely.
