"this man is literally an anime protagonist..." well, you might get surprised how many anime live-action he starred in as the main protag. you could say he's the prince of anime live-actions.
7:16 I actually thought the same thing when I first watched this a year ago. Turns out they filmed this on empty land in the middle of nowhere, built an entire set made to look *exactly* like the Shibuya intersection, then surrounded the set with blue screens so they could use CGI to extend the physical streets they created, and add extra buildings to make it look more like the real deal. They have BTS footage of the show all over UA-cam if you wanna see for yourself
The way Roshi was looking at Lupa in the corner of his eye for his reaction was amazing XD Trying so hard not to laugh until Lupa understood the joke lol!
Karube in the manga was such a chad, hate how they made his character sorta pathetic in this netflix series when he's the one out of the three who had it almost together in life.
I'm so glad this show is getting the recognition that it deserves. Squid game is a good show but very predictable for me. However, this show is more complex, the games are waaay more interesting and the mystery is more intriguing imo.
Squid Game focused a lot on the characterizations. We felt for almost every character in some way, shape or form. Alice in Borderland gets to go a little further by not being grounded in reality and so they can build up the suspense and mystery, but I admit I didn't really care much for a lot of the characters when compared to Squid Game. Kinda felt like an anime, I don't like the main cast but they got some cool side characters.
@@Rakerong The characters develop more in the manga, the unrealistic aspect gets answered in a way, and there is a message in the end. If you want to read the manga I suggest reading it with nothing can be explained ost (vocal and instrumental) and soundscape of ardor OST from Bleach or some other mysteious tracks.
I honestly prefer this over Squid Game (even though I recognize that Squid Game is superior in a lot of ways), purely because of the mystery and fantasy element.
@@Ksmiii It's two totally different vibes for me. I like this show a lot but the characters I felt more for in Squid Game. That show opened up all sorts of emotions in me. Alice in Borderlands was more focused on the entertainment factor and fun and suspense.
Finally the attention Alice in borderland deserve 😭 I actually finished the manga and waiting for the next season, I want to know how the series will go, glad you guys reacting to it
There's actually an anime OVA series on Hidive based on the manga. This is now officially in every format in Japan; Manga, Anime and Live-Action. They're all amazing.
YEAH?! I literally just watch this first episode like an hour ago and then try the volume 1 of the manga.. when i finished i saw this?? It's a weird-happy feelings that i got rn lmaoo
I think you would like sweet home then. It's not death game esc but it does have similar character beats and likable characters like squid game and Alice.
@@hotdog8109 i like both of the show and the manhwa both are good in their own ways. I feel like the manhwa is amazing but it drags on at around episode 124 onwards.
No lie, Alice In Borderland is a way better (eastern) death game series than Squid Game, its truly like a live action anime thats how good it is. And the mystery is a chefs kiss.
@@zachb5433 For me (imo) I would say that AIB is more emotional, mainly because Squid Game both in terms of episodes and in terms of the show itself all happens a bit too fast. And ultimately you know there can only be one winner, so you dont really get too attached, despite how good the characters are. With AIB there's no telling what f-ing direction it would lead in to, what characters will or wont die, and what characters will truly make it to the end of the show. So (again imo) you are more emotionally invested because of the unpredictability of it all.
that it's "anime" is a problem for a lot of people, me included. Because people and locations simply get too outragous and stupid. All I'm saying is "Beach":
@@critioz4722 imo its alice. alice has more complex games and it takes more knowledge to solve them. i think squid game bases its fear on how easy it is to pass the games as they are children games but alice you need to actually be smart to solve them 😭
Omg I love Alice in Borderland and 😭 such a good damn series I love it bc it’s like the main character is that in a whole anime kind vibe survival game 😂 you guys are gonna love it 🥺 can’t wait for ya to laugh, get angry, and cry and just go through a whole ride of adventure and mystery also amazing characters show up it’s literally like a game 🤩 can’t wait to see more ❤️ stay healthy and safe guys
I screamed for joy when I saw this video pop up in my notifications. I’ve been waiting with excitement to see y’all react to this! Honestly made my day.
cant wait for THAT ep. Also the number of the card is the difficulty, 1 being easy 10 being hard af, and the suit of the card means what type of game it is.
i am genuinely so fucking happy y’all are reacting to this!!! i loved alice so much i binged it in a day and a half. get ready y’all are in for a treat!! ☺️
I watched this show and it's pretty fun! The show is pretty ridiculous, especially in the second half, and downright goofy but it literally feels like watching a live-action version of an anime! Can't wait to see more of your guy's reactions/ thoughts on it! ❤️
at the beginning of the ep, you can see the books of 3d geometry relating to cars like bmw and audi. it definitely proved to be advantageous for arisu in this game.
Oh, wow so glad to see you guys reacting to AIB!! It's such a well-executed show from a manga. They're currently filming the second season so more exciting things to come yay
I'm not a big manga reader, but the manga for this is *insanely* good. Emotional, gripping, thought-provoking-and for me the execution of some of the side-games made a deeper impact by not featuring the main characters, but side characters instead. The Netflix show is great too, but the manga is a significantly richer experience, you'd be doing yourself an injustice to miss out on.
Auto thumbs up. This is my favorite show. I'll just leave this here and watch later after my work. I'm so happy to see you guys reacting to ALICE IN BORDERLANDS
Loved the twist at the very end of the manga. Didn't really feel it at first, but when I let it sit for a few days and thought about the manga as a whole beginning to end, it really got my feels. Let's hope this live action doesn't disappoint.
watched this one when it came out, way before the squid game hype 😎 aib is my favorite netflix show and i cannot wait for them to release s2 next year!
This show is literally epic, I need season 2 like asap 👀 Honestly it’s another level compared to Squid Game Im still not mentally recovered from what is coming y’all’s way Also Kento Yamazaki is literally in every manga/anime to real life show or movie, that mans is booked and busy
Just finished this the other day, excited to watch all your reactions to it. Hard not to compare it to Squid Game, having watched that first, but it carves out its own lane while providing a unique and inventive story.
alice in borderland is so good in a different way than squid game is. i love scifi fantasy shit like this where things drastically change and things are kinda post apocalypse and people get sent to another world
So glad reactor’s are coming along to this show! Before Squid Game came out I was nervous about it being renewed for a 2nd season. You deff have a wild ride ahead of you, every episode is action packed.
It's nice to see after all my scrambling for asking people to watch Alice and Borderland finally payed off idk why Squid game was so popular when this exist 😆 🤣
So glad you’re watching this! I found it after watching squid game and this one is just so much better overall imo can’t wait to see the next episode with y’all!
I started watching you guys after watching you in the invincible compilation (‘this is ketchup’ 💀) and you have quickly become one of my favourite channels. Love the castlevania watches and now this, keep up the great content

I really like how the main characters name is arisu. Basically how japanese people say alice

Yeahhhh
And Arisu is *technically* a name that's existed before in Japan but it's very rare. "Arisa" is a more common name, but that's a female name.
