The Long Journey In Borderland

A survival, thriller, sci-fi series. A live action of anime with the same title. Following three men that suddenly entering a games world, after they're doing something silly at the shibuya street. Those three men must choose whether join on the game, or got death.

The story goes long. Sacrifice that tearjerking. The games that cliff-hanging. The emotional that goes through it, deep and deeper. The friendship that ups and down. Also, the realistic betrayal that somehow feels make so much sense.

The premise was utterly unique. I love how they combine dystopian world with science fiction theme that completely different. The storyline that anti-mainstream but neat yet pack. And they prove it that they craft it really well.

The performance of Kento Yamazaki, Tsuchiya Tao, Nijiro Murakami, and the others were top notch. I love their acting in here. Their emotion, frustration, depressed, even their sorrow were perfectly portrayed. Their mimics and attitude at its finest, detail yet natural.

The gore that brutal after brutal. The action that felt so pack. Mind-game that confusing. But somehow they craft it with seamlessly integrated. Like the explanation has deliver in a simple way. So the audience could understand every game's rules and we're seize into their games.

Not only stunned by their screenplay and actor's acting. They also stunned by visual and sound design. Oh, to see those beautiful scenery with those pretty cinematography, I could randomly pause and capture those aesthetic shot. Also their camera movement was masterpiece.

The world building and their CGI were magnificent. I know they're bragging their self out of that, but they deserve it tho. I love every single set in this series. So detail, realistic, and the dystopian felt alive. Also, those sound design. What do you mean to have those epic scoring? Oh, the best to enhance the story. More thrilling and exciting.

All in all. This series is one of the best series I've ever watched. I love every piece of this craft. Thank you so much for crafting this with well enough. And you guys missed this masterpiece experience? Hell, nah. Just watch it now!
