When life takes an unexpected turn into a dystopian wonderland, Alice in Borderland (Imawa no Kuni no Alice) plunges viewers into a high-stakes survival game that is as thrilling as it is unsettling. Adapted from Haro Aso's manga, this anime blends psychological tension, action, and emotional depth, challenging its characters' humanity and morality in a brutal world where every decision could be their last.
