Oh come on, leave Arisu alone. He already suffered enough.

Didn't season 2 have a definitive ending?

The manga has side stories and apparently one of them involves a girl actually named Alice. I think it's feasible because there were so many games going on that we didn't get to see so you can follow other survivors/contestants and see how they fared.

That side story is a whole different story, and it's "border road" not border land.

Still can be an angle they can use

I think they also made one where he is back in boarderland but without his girlfriend/wife who is pregnant since there is a time jump. Not sure if he was in a car accident or what but I do remember something along these lines.

I think they also made one where he is back in boarderland ir it could be a spin off with other characters.

I really liked how season 2 ended.

Oh yeah, that mini series. That can work but as a direct sequel it might be not as thrilling. Audience usually asked a bigger, more violent scene for a sequel.
It was made to have a more positive look, with everyone should be easily survive if they cooperated instead of trying to kill each other.

Yes there is a sequel manga. But I would recommend reading the original manga as well because it has a lot more games that didn't make it on to the show.

I'm conflicted. I'm not sure if watching the show is going to leave a bad aftertaste after reading the excellent manga.

Show is decent enough. There is actually no shortage of good live action versions of manga and anime in Japan. One Piece only stands out because the Western adaptations have been consistently shit.

Japanese pronunciation of Alice is Arisu, which is usually a family name.
And it's the same in this series too, MCs full name is Ryohei Arisu.

I'm definitely in, even with the problems, this was still one of my favorite shows of the last few years.

I have a few other things to get but if the manga of Alice in Boarderland is better then the show which was a very pleasant surprise I may bump it up to the top 5 purchases.

I was not even looking for a new show when I found it on netflix, just though eh Ill give it a view then got hooked.

It reminded me of the Battle Royale movie which I also really loved. With both being much better in concept and execution the The Hunger Games which to me was lame and very lack luster.

Yeah I here there's more Manga to build off of but season 2 answered all the questions and was a great finish. I'm not entirely excited but not entirely pessimistic.

Damn, I didn't think this would actually get a season 3 after seeing 2's ending.

It was always kind of in the books once they showed the joker card.

I love the show so much but I'll also temper my expectations. I loved Arisu's story and what they did with it. I just hope they don't just go the "oh make shit more violent without actual story" route

True regarding the joker card, but also, this is Netflix we're talking about. >_> They love cancelling things lol. But either way, I'm excited. I loved the show. And I absolutely did not predict the ending.

There are no loose end in the manga, the joker card is a real character that explains his role in the game.
They removed him in the live action so it can be a sequel hook.

What I loved about the ending is that they fucked with the audience by addressing a bunch of the theories about how they got to that world and it kept on getting me lol. With how easily they could've made that reason such nonsense, the actual reason, while still kinda farfetched, I felt was good enough and kind of grounded as could be. Also I didn't mind the switch where Usagi was his reason for continuing instead of his best friends.

Also God I love that last Queen.

I don't know if I would say it's usually a family name, it's the family name of approximately 10 people in Japan. Manga and anime tend to use rare or nonexistent names for characters.

One thing I hope they do right is deaths. They did a good job imo with killing off all the best friends in one episode, whereas most shows would do it as a slow burn. But then it miffed me when several people should've died in the last couple episodes, only to find they lived.

1. I said it's usually a family name, not it's a common family name.
2. You didn't include the common variant, Arisuyama. ( -Yama is equivalent as -Berg in western family names).

And what are you trying to prove anyway? That Arisu is not a Japanese name?

Ricemills posted...

It was not originally a sequel hook. It's a reference to some manga content that was cut from the live action.

If they end up coming up with original content for the new season then that gets thrown out the window, of course.

I just hope they do a good job as the joker card in the manga was like Charon the ferry man in greek mythology so a season 3 will be original content or they base it on Alice in Borderland: Retry.

1. Usual isn't a good word to describe it because it isn't common. I guarantee more people in Japan have Alice as a first name, because I can Google it right now and find way more than 10 people.
2. That's not a family name and if you're talking about that's the name of a mountain and it's pronounced Uzusan. Also no Yama isn't like berg. Yama is actually more common at the start of names. https://myoji-yurai.net/sp/prefectureRanking.htm ( all in the top 20 names)

I'm not trying to prove anything. I just said manga often use rare or nonexistent names, which is what this is.

You're doubling down on not getting the difference between "it's usually a family name" and "it's a usual/common family name".

Also Yama and Berg both means mountain.

So you're just stirring up shit. In the same post that you're trying to imply that the name is Alice not Arisu, but then deny that you're trying to argue that Arisu is not a Japanese name.
Glad to know you're not worth talking to.

His name is Arisugawa, that's an imperial name and no one is alive with that as a last name (imperial names are complex, but it's not worth getting into), but why would you think saying Arisuyama, which isn't a name, would somehow make that count?

And yes as a given name is more common. So the person doubling down isn't me. And again you aren't wrong because berg means mountain, you're wrong because you think people tack Yama on the end of other names as some kind of thing when you probably just got confused by the name of an actual mountain. As I demonstrated with the name database Yama is usually at the beginning, not like -berg as you wrote.

I didn't stir up any shit. I just pointed out manga use rare or nonexistent names and you started making some stuff up for no reason.

And here are Japanese people with Arisu as their first (given) name:
https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%96%89%E8%97%A4%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B9
https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%8A%B1%E5%BD%B1%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B9
https://ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%BA%83%E7%80%AC%E3%82%A2%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B9

You won't find a single Wikipedia article of someone with Arisu as a family name. Go ahead and search on there. or any other variant. They don't exist, just the 10 people on that database of family names.

Why the fuck this clown still babbling about when the show itself has Arisu a family name.

And is written in katakana so it means it's an adaptation from foreign language, which is Alice, not Arisu.

Also the fuck is this clown insisting that -Yama doesn't exist when people named Shigeyama, Akayama (lit. red mountain), Aoyama (Blue Mountain), etc are names that still used by many living people?

Look do you want to actually address what I wrote or just something else? Yes the kanji name is the protagonists name and is used in the manga and about 10 people in real life. That's why I said it's rare.

You never wrote it in kanji, but since you are bringing up the katakana it's pronounced the same way so I'm not sure what your point is. The series calls itself and it's done for the pun on Alice in Wonderland. The pronunciation is Arisu either way so I am not sure what the point is.

I said you can't just jam Yama on the end of the name two posts on a row now. You tried claiming Arisuyama is a name. Then you tried passing off Arisugawa as if that was the name somehow (and that's also not a family name, but I don't want to get into the historical imperial naming conventions). Now you are bringing up other names. Yes all real names, but missing the point again. Yama isn't like berg because you can't just tack it onto the end of some other name like you tried to do and because it's more common at the beginning.

You fucking still don't understand the difference between " it's a usually a family name" and "it's a usual family name"?

Holy fucking shit, we're talking about the character's name here.

Therr are names like Bergkampt and Bergmann too.
If you don't understand the fucking concept, then shut the fuck up.

You're not even trying to prove a point, worse, you're just trying to prove that soneone is wrong by nitpicking on every small details.
That's a troll behaviour, and you can't deny it.

Mira is an absolute hottie. The actress Riisa Naka put on an amazing performance too.

Dude you tried to claim Arisuyama was a real name (and somehow more common, why not do a basic Google search before saying that?). Then tried to pass off Arisugawa as that name. And now you say I am trolling? Are you serious?

CE Come on, arguing about Japanese names now?

Yama, kawa, what's the difference* ?

*Bonus points to those who got the reference.

Literally, yes. But it was a joke on names.

Another example of similar joke when someone named Sadohara is called Masohara.
