Meanwhile in Sweden it didn't even get top 10, I want to move out.

it's not flat at all. You just missed the complete point of the show, and most people do since they don't know the hidden meaning behind the title of the show.

The japanese title roughly translated means the land of one's dying moments, and i believe it refers to the place itself that it takes place in. The english title could be refering to Arisu being in the borderland, between life and death instead, but as you can see , you miss this important little detail with the english title. This shows perfectly by how arisu loses his best friends as early as in just the third game, showing us that this is not an all sunshine and rainbows or a disney series, it's reality, survival of the fittest, kill or be killed, betrayal, you name it. Most of the shows out there relies on build up then end the story with a tragic death. Not this one, 2 important characters dies as early as in the 3rd episode. I say it again, the japanese title means alice's dying moments, and we see this by how everyone around him dies, including his best friends. This is what makes this show a masterpiece.

In short, read the manga from beginning for the best experience, 1/3 of the manga are like side stories without the mc in it which is still important to the story since they introduce important characters we might be seeing in s2, or if you really want to just continue where the drama left off, just start from chapter 30 and read 4 of hearts(which they skip), five of spades(slightly changed) and the first 3 of clubs game(completely changed). Do you see a pattern? Yes, they all are games from the beginning, they changed a lot of things in the beginning of the manga, so we all recommend you to just read from the beginning.

This ends after the beach arc which ends at chapter 29, but there are a few things to keep in mind while reading the manga, the 4th game was originally a side story in the manga that takes place after the beach arc instead, they also skip another side story that takes place after 3rd game, so you have to read that one, it's important, introduces characters for s2, since they also changed the character of agni (aguni in the drama) making his introduction be in the 2nd game, while in the manga he only appears at the same time as hatter in the beach arc, reading the 2nd game could be important as well, but then again, the first game is a completely different game since budget wise they wouldn't be able to adapt it as well. So...

Aight as we wait for season 2, I will rank my top 10 games, was pretty hard since every game is amazing and extremely fun to experience:

1. 7 of ♥
2. Jack of ♥
3. Queen of ♥
4. King of ♣
5. King of ♦
6. Four of ♥
7. 6 of ♦
8. Four of ♣
9. Five of ♠
10. 10 of ♥


In other words, season 2 will be amazing :).

The manga of Gantz is a masterpiece just like the manga of this drama.

Well tbh s2 of Alice in borderland might switch to more of a ensemble cast type of show so it's kind of exciting, so we will get to see more of everyone.

Interesting use of spoiler tag, there are various places you can visit, i myself read on an app on my phone that accesses all manga websites at once through extensions. The most popular manga sites are mangadex, the one with the largest library(now that kissmanga bit the dust) and mangasee which sometimes has official translations of manga. Since Alice is not such a popular manga i don't think it has any official translation.

That's a very debatable topic, even a controversial one at that, mentioning that a show has an open ending or has a cliffhanger is not a spoiler at all, it is true that some people would want not to know that before finishing it first, but if that's the case is their fault for visiting the comments section before they finish it. If they want to read people's opinions on the show before starting it, the spoiler free reviews are a better place to go.

Lmao mb i thought you meant me lol, we should probably @ who we are refering to from now on.

The best cliffhanger for the series would have been the reveal of stage 2 plot twist imo.

I can say that they can do between 16-24 eps and that is based on how many games they want to adapt.

Wait they changed it? That doesn't make any sense.

There was a very funny scene about this in the manga.

I really hope they stick to the manga ending tbh, the final game was completely unexpected.

The side stories are actually important and we even saw them blend one into the main story, if they skip the side stories they might have to skip out on some important characters which i hope they will not do.

I don't see any reason to, it's basically the same as telling someone to spoiler tag their comment just because they mentioned there will be a s2 or that it is ends on a cliffhanger. If that is the case, then why are u checking out the comments first, just finish the show and then come to the comments. Besides, everything i said was based partly on the manga, meaning if it does get a s2, it could end up completely differently if they wanted to.

Roughly translated it means the land of one's dying moments, and i believe it refers to the place itself that it takes place in. The english title could be refering to Arisu being in the borderland, between life and death instead, but as you can see , you miss this important little detail with the english title.

The manga has over the rating of 8 so imho it deserves at least that, well i can say for sure if it adapted stage 2 as well, the score would have been a lot higher, so in order words, s2 score must...no, it it will be, a lot higher, :).

It's a play on words :), also the original japanese version title has a deeper meaning, if you are interested, just google what it means, or ask me :)
