Domestically, the Douban score has been stable at more than 8 points for a long time, and more than 30,000 netizens have given a high score of 8.2.
Some netizens read it and commented directly and madly:
Cool enough to read in one breath at a time!
In my exciting and refreshing viewing experience, this is probably the best manga of the year.
Alice in the Land of the Dead
The story begins with three unlucky eggs, the male protagonist Youqi is looked down upon by his family because he plays games at home every day, the man who works in the tavern loses his job because of cheating with female colleagues, and Zhang Tai is asked for money every three to five by his superstitious and religious mother.
Three young people who are dissatisfied with the status quo, want to escape from society, and are powerless to change, gather in the streets of Shinjuku and shout to release the pressure.
As a result, a fool's errand led to a car accident and attracted the police.
When they hid in the station toilet to avoid the police and came out again, the whole city was empty!
I thought I could let go of myself, but I didn't expect that the good drama had just been staged. As night falls, the only building in the city with electricity leads them to the "game venue".
— Spoiler Alert —
The first level, escape room.
Find the correct "door" in the room at the specified time, otherwise the room will spew fire and will be burned alive.
What happens if you want to escape or choose the wrong one? An extremely accurate red laser that fell from the sky directly passed through the head and killed in one blow.
Really big game of life.
Time is pressing, and when the situation is in a dilemma, you who are good at cracking puzzle games are in danger.
With the floor plan of the building, the correct escape route can be quickly deduced.
After successfully passing the level and winning, they finally won a "Plum Blossom 3" playing card.
The second level, hide-and-seek.
Players need to do everything they can to avoid the "ghost", find the room with the trap hidden in a limited time, and trigger the trap to win.
Unarmed players are slaughtered in front of "ghosts" armed with machine guns.
What's more, how easy is it to find the one with the mechanism hidden in dozens of rooms in a limited time?
Through his observation and ingenuity, Yuki works with other players to eventually trigger traps to end the game.
As the loser, the person who plays the "ghost" is instantly headshot.
In this game, the male protagonist Yuki meets the skillful female protagonist Usaki Teak.
The first two levels are games that test intelligence and physical strength, although not easy, but the male protagonist has passed without danger.
By the third level, the difficulty of the game has skyrocketed, and the more terrifying test is not intelligence and physical strength, but human nature.
The third level, peekaboo.
One of the players plays as a wolf, and the others play as a sheep. Within 10 minutes, the wolf and the sheep fight each other, and if the person playing the wolf sees the person playing the sheep, the identities of the wolf and the sheep are reversed. The rule of the level is that when the time returns to zero, the wolf wins and survives; the sheep lose and face death.
But the paradox of the game is that if only the wolf survives, the sheep cannot hide. If the wolf wants to win the game, he must always hide from the sheep.
Miss Shibuki, who had previously worked with the three of them, was an egoist, and she betrayed the three in order to survive. But she underestimated the trust and friendship of yuqi's two friends.
In the end, Yuki survived. It wasn't because he didn't look at anyone else, but because both friends hid and chose to keep him alive.
Watching a friend sacrifice his life for himself, the feeling of guilt of surviving alone is the most cruel.
So, what kind of cruel game will the surviving Arisu face?
Whether he can uncover the real secret behind the game and avenge the death of his friends, all the suspense makes the series full of attraction.
First, the well-known comic reform, unique story setting
Adapted from the manga of the same name by Aso Yuro, Alice in the Land of the Dying has been well received by readers since its release.
The reason why this IP has been so successful is due to two major elements: the variety of game levels and the dystopian setting.
In this country known as the "Land of the Dead", the difficulty of the game is divided according to the color and number of the playing cards, the suit represents the type, and the number represents the difficulty.
Plum blossom type game, relying on group cooperation to win.
A cube game that wins with intelligence and knowledge.
Spades type game, win with physical fitness.
The peach type game, which wins by playing with human nature and betraying teammates, is also the most difficult category.
Like the second game of "hide-and-seek", it is a game of spades that tests physical fitness, and the poker card of "Spades 5" is obtained. The "Peekaboo" game is a red peach type game, and the difficulty represented by "Peach 7" has far exceeded the cruelty of the second "hide-and-seek".
And the last game of the season is actually a ceiling that has never appeared: "Peach 10".
How cruel that game really is, I'm afraid you can't dream of it.
Relying on cruel and bloody game alone, it is absolutely impossible to gain the love of the public.
In the second half of the series, a utopian kingdom composed of veteran players is born, the "Seaside".
Here, everyone wears swimsuits to party, eat and drink freely, as if it were paradise.
Behind this carnival kingdom, it is ruled by two factions of rulers. The ideal faction headed by the "Hatsmith" who is good at cracking various games and the martial arts faction with weapons and equipment led by the "Awa Kingdom".
The Hatter collects playing cards of all suits on the pretext of leading everyone back into the real world. The "millet country" has always been eyeing the tiger, intending to dominate the entire "seashore".
When this delicate balance is broken, that is when the bubble is punctured and the utopian kingdom is upended.
With a variety of game levels and dystopian settings, the two elements superimposed "Alice in the Land of the Dead" has surpassed the suspenseful plot of the general escape room and brought the audience a different experience.
Second, the lineup of handsome men and beautiful women to create a super eye-catching visual experience
Another highlight of the show is the super eye-catching visual experience.
The handsome men and women's cast and cool and sharp camera design have become important eye-catching elements of the show.
Kento Yamazaki, Taiho Tsuchiya, Hiroro Murakami, Saika Miyoshi, Keita Machida, Ritsu Abe, Izaaka Nakasato, and so on.
Kenji Yamazaki, who has a clear eyebrow, has won widespread attention by playing Hanami In the comic suspense drama "Death Note".
Keita Machida, who starred in Still a Virgin at the Age of 30, Seems to Become a Magician, became a straight male with a strong force in this drama.
Tsuchiya Taiho changed the vitality and purity of the previous romance dramas, grew short hair, and transformed into a female man who could fly over the wall.
Actress Sanji Caihua, who became popular on the Internet with Jay Chou's MV, became an anatomical maniac in this drama.
When such a group of handsome men and women get together, there is nothing more pleasing to the eye.
In addition to the actors' appearance, the drama is also quite eye-catching in the camera.
Adhering to the principle of "fast and accurate", the gun will never drag mud and water.
The blood-spattered picture is crisp and sharp, and the strong visual impact is full of violent aesthetics.
The most amazing thing is the swimsuit girl vs tattooed skinhead knifeman in the seventh episode.
The neon lights in the bar present a strange sense of mystery.
This seemingly disparity in strength duel, the action is fist to flesh, the rules are orderly, and the sense of power is bursting at the same time to give the aesthetic sense of superiority.
Also, do you feel a bit of cyberpunk?
From handsome actors and beautiful women to cool and sharp camera design, "Alice in the Land of the Dead" perfectly presents the tense and exciting story in the original game, which is enough to make the audience shout: Cool!
This season's story ends with the collection of all the colorful playing cards, ending this real-big-scale game of life.
But this is only the end of the suit cards, and a new round of the head card game has just begun.
The first season was so exciting, and what kind of thrilling the protagonists will usher in in the next season has long been impatient.
