What Japanese Show Is Set In A Dystopian Universe With An Unlikely Hero?
A thriller set in a dystopian universe with an unlikely hero, stuck in a web of games, trying to survive and make others survive with him. That’s the gist of the Japanese show ‘Alice in Borderland’ (AIB). Before I get into the drama details, I want to request you that always take Netflix’s notification about the show containing nudity, violence, etc. One day as the three friends get together, they suddenly find themselves transported to a Tokyo-like city but with absolutely no one around them.
While playing one of the games, Arisu meets Yuzuha Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya) with whom he forms an alliance to get to the creator of this brutal game and end it forever. I enjoyed watching ‘Alice In Borderland’ because… …of its suspenseful games. The moment the phone scans their face it notifies them that they are now a part of a psychological game in which they have to pick the right door that will lead to the next level.
Since there are new players in every game, we get a glimpse into their backstory which makes us connect with them and we feel more involved in the game. In every game that Arisu plays, we see how much he cares for others and helps other players even when they are his competitors and complete strangers. She plays for herself and no one else.
Nothing scares this valiant girl and I loved her character the most after Arisu. Starting from a contestant sleeping with one of Arisu’s friends. I didn’t understand the need for the scene as it does not contribute to the show or even the character’s development.
If you (like me) are sensitive to such stuff then please avoid this show or be prepared to jump through scenes you feel you may not be able to take. I personally did not like watching women running around in bikinis all the time. Throughout the show, there are many wide-angle and low-angle shots with women’s backside right in your face.
What Is The Perfect Way Of Introducing This New World?
Surviving in a new world Episode 1 (or the pilot) is the perfect way of introducing this new world. First, we see three friends meet up and have fun. After being chased by the police (for causing a serious disturbance of traffic), everyone else suddenly disappears.
A city they know but which is now devoid of people and everything electronic. Except for, of course, when “a game” is happening. But you do know that someone will die before the game is over!
Who Shares Some Thoughts In This First Impression That Might Help You Decide Whether To Push Play?
Kmuse shares some of her thoughts in this first impression that might help you make up your mind whether to push play. Synopsis: A group of bored delinquents are transported to a parallel wasteland as part of a survival game. (IDMb) I decided to check out Alice in Borderland, mostly because it looks super pretty and just the kind of style I enjoy in an intense drama.
I have to admit I was emotionally moved by it much more than I usually am. So if violence/horrific deaths is one of your triggers, then this is not the drama for you. Pro – Smart storytelling This reminds me a bit of Liar’s Game but with much more lethal consequences.
Con – Is there character depth? I am just starting this drama, so my opinion on this question might change the farther I go into the story. However, at the point of 4 episodes in, the character depth is a bit lacking.
But do we really connect with them beyond being told they are the “heroes” of the show? I also recommend that parents watch an episode or two if you plan to let your kids watch it.
Who Is Ryohei Arisu?
The show follows Ryohei Arisu (Kento Yamazaki), an intelligent, video game-focused young man who emerges from a bathroom stall with his two best friends to discover a once-bustling Tokyo is now deserted. With each new game, the three friends meet more of the remaining few residents of Tokyo, who must also fight for survival and whose motivations and backgrounds are unclear but become revealed to us the more time the show spends with them. She is agile, clever, and good in a crisis, which helps her survive in the games and in this new world.
This leads them to a congregation of survivors led by Takeru Danma (Nobuaki Kaneko), also known as the Hatter, who work towards a larger goal during the games and party during the off days granted by their visas. Notable members of Hatter’s flock include Chishiya (Nijiro Murakami), a calm and cunning player both during and between games, and Kuina (Aya Asahina), his brave and resourceful partner. The show at first focuses on the immediate threat of completing games in the allotted time before one’s visa expires, but gradually lets the characters explore the bigger mystery of the “game master” and how they can outwit this elusive person to return to their original world.
Arisu and Usagi, and Chishiya and Kuina, in particular, are fascinating because the more we see them work together or against each other, it becomes clear that these two pairs are foils. Chishiya (left) and Kuina (right) approach Arisu (middle) to see if he is worth teaming up with. The most obvious common trait between all those who were chosen to live in this new, parallel Tokyo is that they all appeared to be outcasts in their old life, but Alice in Borderland is smarter than that.
As the other characters’ backstories are revealed, we discover they were similarly discarded by their parents or the general public for being unable or unwilling to conform to the stringent confines of capitalism, masculinity, or other societal norms. However, our main ensemble of characters are determined to return to the original Tokyo because, even if their past lives were unsatisfactory, they now recognize that their bonds with allies in their current reality and the people back home are worth surviving for. This, to me, is what ultimately makes Alice in Borderland worth watching.
The first season ends with the characters uncovering answers, which only leads to more questions, and an exciting reveal that incentives the fans to eagerly await season two, which was greenlit by Netflix only two weeks after season one dropped.
