The hype was worth it
Things I liked:*The ending. It wasn't an open ending. A lot of things made sense after season 2
*Children are also competitors there
*The CG
*How they brought back both major and minor actors
*More flashbacks and backstories
*The game masters also have a heart and are all brave enough to fight without fearing death. They are just enjoying freedom.
*The timeline (Events of both season 1 and season 2 take place around June 2021, in between their respective release dates).
*Kuina's father finally accepted her
*The wish of those who shipped arisu and usagi can sigh in relief now ( Also kento yamazaki and tao tsuchiya now officially co-starred in 5 projects)
A bit of warninng: Don't watch it with parents or probably anyone. There are rotten dead bodies and deformed bodies burnt by sulphuric acid. Naked kyuma and some other scenes.
Story: 10 The story started from right where the season 1 ended. Unlike season 1, there were fewer games that lasted longer than before. Each game has its own suspense and thrill. The CG was as good as ever and the ending was quite satisfactory. Some ppl may complain that they better remembered the days of borderland. But it is better to forget those horrible memories of near-death experience.
Acting/cast: 10 They brought back all the original cast members they needed. Even minor ones like kuina's parents, arisu's brother, the man they saved in the 4 of spades, momoka and many major characters.
Music: 10 The music was on spot and quite thrilling
Rewatch value:10 Might just rewatch tomorrow
The first 7 episodes were action-packed where the last episode was more calm than the previous episodes but the last few scenes were just all we needed after the 2 years wait.

Started expecting the worst but it exceeded my expectations
Do i believe that they shouldve just made a movie rather than a 6 ep long season? Yeah. But do i hate S3? HAILLL NO. It's a solid oneIk everyone is complaining about the season not living up to the expectations. Y'all, the manga ended with season 2 and season 2 wrapped the story pretty well and that’s why season 3 felt like we're just trying to get the last frop of toothpaste out of an empty tube.
The explanation of the borderlands and the aftermath of such a disaster was handled pretty well. The only thing that i thought is dumb is the reason for usagi to return to the borderland. Like come on, she just needed some counselling.
Things that were good:
The games, the new characters weren't cardboard, the lore behind the borderland's existence AND THE FACT THAT ARISU DIDN'T DIE FOR SOME CGI BABY

Worth watching
I can't explain much. Out of words. Really great production quality. Awesome storyline and best cast. It will hook you till the end. Just go and watch. 10/10 for me.!!Story: 10 I will say both the writer of the manga and the series are genius. The director managed to fit 31 chapters of a manga in only 8 episodes without making it feel rushed in any way.
Acting/Cast: 10 They managed to find the best cast. Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya's duo is great as always. They found the perfect actor for the past(boy) kuina, which explains why she doesn't look much like a trans girl. Mira just looks like she came right out of the manga. And the acting is all good
Music:10 Enough to make one feel the suspense
Rewatch Value: 10 Can never get enough of it.
Overall:10 The best live action in history is here!!
