spoiler alert? Arisu sounds like alice in katakana(japanese writing for borrowed words from other languages). wonderland is another universe/dimension and so is borderland. it's mostly a namesake/vauge reference.
very much agree. i love both shows but alice in borderland will always be one of my favs. and s3 has been confirmed (not sure on release date) but i can’t wait🤭
I agree but they are also just so different. I feel like Alice in Borderland has way cooler games, but Squid Games is a lot more about the social commentary rather than exciting cool games.
THIS, I loved SG but the moment I finished AIB first episode I immediately put it above SG. Still excited for that season 2 though lol and stalking the internet for season 3 of AIB release date
AIB is interesting I guess but it's definitely not for all audiences. Personally, I found it quite boring while still acknowledging the fact that it could be entertaining for other audiences. The explanation of things just seemed a bit farfetched and less realistic, like trying to give meaning or reasoning to something that quite clearly doesn't make sense and that no one would even initially consider as a valid explanation to certain things. That being said, I do know that these sort of things tend to happen with manga adaptations, and I only ever watched the first season, only once at that. So I'm considering the possibility of maybe having a different opinion by watching it again through this reaction. Please this isn't hate in any way, just my thoughts on the show...and I truly am open to being swayed
For some context; this series is based off a manga which eventually got an anime adaptation in like 2014. The anime did not get a massive following so Netflix made a live action later; and it broke the internet. A live action out performing its anime predecessor is unheard of. Ya'll are going to love this series I assure you.
This series is better than Squid Game imo, gl sitting through both seasons before Season 3 comes out. Squid Game was already a good series in its own right but we all have to remember that Alice in Borderland got released before Squid Game and was also released pre COVID. And yes, that crossing at the start is the iconic Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo
SG has better acting and flow while AIB has better death game and scale imo. Both are enjoyable but i really hope BM reacts to Kingdom (zombie netflix) next, such an underrated gem along with Bloodhounds (bc the fighting scenes hehe)
Arisu = Alice, Chishiya = Chesire Cat, Usagi = White Rabbit, Hatter = Mad Hatter. These are just some of the references from Alice in Wonderland in the Japanese names of these characters. Also I'm assuming it comes from the playing card theme of this show, much like Alice in Wonderland.
Why tf would you comment this.. Just let them figure stuff out for themselves, learn the names for themselves, choose their characters themselves.. Stop being a spoiler dweep. Hope the mods delete this fkn comment. Just crazy you would spoil names like that. tf
And while Kuina's name doesn't directly translate to her representing the caterpillar, it's obvious from her color scheme, smoking habit, and transformation.
Guys, I LITERALLY screamed when I saw the title hahaha I'm so excited for you to react to this show, it's amazing!! You’re definitely going to enjoy it!
I started dancing around my living room when I saw that you guys were going to start this series 😂 this is in my top 3 TV series that I have ever watched, possibly number one! Enjoy the ride! It is a WILD one!!! I’m beyond excited that they announced another season ❤
The main character's name is Arisu. Which is a Japanese pronunciation of the name "Alice". And yes, they're in a place called Borderland where they have to play games to survive.
10:07 Diamond Dave just giddy at the possibility of zombies 🤣🤣 we know what you love, Dave! Lol I've heard about this show but had no clue what it was about 🤔 I'll watch this first episode with you guys and then will probably binge ahead to be prepared 😝
An extra hint at the fact that there was an extra room at the end was the number of tiles! On the video from the first room, the room the highschool girl steps in only has 4 tiles between the door and the wall in front of her. But when Arisu calculated the size of the building and rooms, he made it clear that the rooms were all squares and 6 tiles wide. So there were two tiles, and therefore two meters, missing in that wrong room! Not sure if it's mentioned in the episode and you guys just cut that part or if it wasn't pointed out, but that was confirmation of the right door for me.
18:56 hEY HEY HEY OAK WHAT'S UP WITH THE ANDROID HATE? If anything, if something were to get you out of a situation like this, it wouldn't be an iPhone that's for sure XD
I don’t know if you guys noticed, but Arisu (male lead’s name) sounds like how japanese people pronouncing Alice, and hence the title is Alice in Borderline
It’s amazing, I started watching it when season 2 first came out and literally finished both seasons in 2 days because I wanted to see the end lmao can’t wait for season 3
and yes the scene in tokyo drift yall are refering to is in the same location shot yall pointed out its a place called Shibuya Crossing and is a place where quite a few shows and movies have been shot
The first season of this show is def in my personal top 3 shows ever. It's sooo good, fun, and always keeps you on your toes. I know y'all will enjoy this one!
Been checking UA-cam all day for this! So glad you're enjoying it, episode 3 is the one that got me absolutely hooked to the point I binged the first season at once.
I'm so glad y'all are reacting to this show! It's genuinely absolutely mindblowing and I would have never seen the ending coming. Although season one was already incredible, season two steps up the game even more! Btw this series is based on a manga and the entirety of it gets covered in those two seasons. Keep that in mind in case Netflix ever makes a season three... There's two spin-off Manga's but if they make an original story we already know that might not end well lmao. Apropos manga, I highly recommend reading that as well! The series is amazing but it does stray from the manga quite a bit. A lot of the games are different or side story's that the main characters have nothing to do with. In general there's just more going on in the manga thanks to the medium. But the series handled it masterfully so I definitely enjoy both. Each feels like it's own work and it doesn't get boring whether you've seen one or the other first.
We all knew you'd get hooked from the start lmao. Each character and the games are so well made. It's going to be so hard waiting a new reaction every week! Looking forward to that and seeing all the assumptions you'll do as the episodes go on!
I'm so glad you guys enjoyed this one! I'm one of the many fans that was hoping for this reaction for a while now. I still remember i pitched it to Oak in his insta dm September last year and finally the day comes! Thank you so much!
You said you don’t think there’ll be any correlation between the books, but actually most of the characters represent someone from Alice in wonderland, like our main character Arisu (aka Alice), his friends and future characters!! Edit: oh and of course the cards also play a big role
Gosh, seeing the first game again made me feel so MUCH. Can’t believe how good this series is. And seeing the way it was solved again literally brought tears to my eyes from just experiencing it again.
Oh my god seeing you guys really started Alice in borderland, I couldn't contain my excitement! It's so good i promise. As someone who watched squid game first and got in to Alice later with little confidence, i can confirm the enjoyment is on another level!
I watched this show when it released the same way you did: not knowing anything. Squid Game hadn't even been released yet and I LOVED this show so much!! I like it even better than Squid Game to be honest; I know the two are not completely the same but this one has a fantastic turns that SG doesn't have and that I really love! You're in for a crazy journey, enjoy!!
Great show, good choice. To answer your question: I didn't figure it out until late in the game. And even then it was still a big amazing surprise. Love to hear your theories though, reminds me of myself trying to figure it out. And yeah, I would never survive the first game haha.
One of my favorite series!!! You can obviously can compare it to Squid Games, but where that focuses on the adrenaline and action aspect, this one is way more grand with it's ideas, metaphors, and just general emotional range. Glad you are starting this :)
FINALLY!! I've been wanting this reaction series for a long time. So much excited for your reactions and interpretation with the scenes and THE SCENES iykyk hahaha
I was not expecting this Im glad you are starting to watch more foregin shows and movie If you are not used to anime/manga this show will be a WILD ride, cant wait to see you experience it I do wish more channels i watched reacted to alice in borderland, it is a show everyone should watch, its just so fun, heartfelt, creative and chaotic. It is sad not to watch it
I cannot express how excited I am that you guys are watching Alice in borderland, I quite literally gasped audibly!! It’s truly a fantastic show that I’ve loved ever since it first came out. I’ll look forward to all your reactions🔥
This first episode was amazing!!!! This game was intense! What was your reaction to this episode? What did we miss (No spoilers please😃)

👍🏻
spoiler alert?
Arisu sounds like alice in katakana(japanese writing for borrowed words from other languages).
wonderland is another universe/dimension and so is borderland. it's mostly a namesake/vauge reference.
One of the best Live Action adaptation from Japan!!
@@RonLarhzdelete your spoiler
Feel like you guys will definitely love this one!
We will see if they will like it after this season. Hope so.

Squid Game is like checkers to Alice in Borderlands's chess. Which isn't knocking SG, but praising AiB that highly. "Hold on to your butts."
very much agree. i love both shows but alice in borderland will always be one of my favs. and s3 has been confirmed (not sure on release date) but i can’t wait🤭
i agree ! esp s2, omg had me on the edge of my seat most of the time i loved it

He's my fav!!

Every Character is Goat
LET'S DO THIS!! I love the suspense that is built up starting in episode 1.
This series is better than Squid Game imo, gl sitting through both seasons before Season 3 comes out. Squid Game was already a good series in its own right but we all have to remember that Alice in Borderland got released before Squid Game and was also released pre COVID.
And yes, that crossing at the start is the iconic Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo
Agreed. Japan knows how to make these type of death games well.
They're both entirely different and same at same time. They're going for different things thematically
@@AA-ed6ek
japan is GOAT of death games.
battle royale, kaiji, liar game, death note, akuma game, tomodachi game, zero, gantz etc....
@@RonLarhz So true. It's one of the reasons I didn't really like Squid game. It kind of felt......
SG has better acting and flow while AIB has better death game and scale imo. Both are enjoyable but i really hope BM reacts to Kingdom (zombie netflix) next, such an underrated gem along with Bloodhounds (bc the fighting scenes hehe)

Omg, Finally more people discovered this show is GOAT. Alice in borderland is my favorite series.
alice = arisu (its just a pronunciation in japanese, but its basically the same)
The main character's name is Arisu. Which is a Japanese pronunciation of the name "Alice".
And yes, they're in a place called Borderland where they have to play games to survive.

If any show was made to be binged, it’s this one! I can’t wait till season 3!
THE WAY I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THIS. one of my other favourite youtubers just started watching this, and now you guys too?? im so excited!
I've been patiently waiting for this reaction for mooonnnths 😂, can't wait to see your reaction.

@@gonzo6489which makes more annoyed that they’re making a season 3 because the manga ended where season 2 ended
Well theres a sequel to the manga where Arisu goes back to the borderland 😉@@Dani_4681

LETS FREAKING GO!!!! This shows easily in my top 10 of all time, it’s a real shame not a lot of people know about it
Alice in Borderland is like Alice in Wonderland characters... One of my fave shows, happy with this reaction excited for the next yey
It’s amazing, I started watching it when season 2 first came out and literally finished both seasons in 2 days because I wanted to see the end lmao can’t wait for season 3
