What is the plot of Alice in Borderland Season 1?
The series revolves around a bunch of high school kids, Ryohei Arisu (Alice in English) and his no-good useless friends Karube and Chōta. Tired of the meaningless life that he’s been living, Alice continues to live the same lethargic life.
Everything changes when the three friends somehow end up finding themselves in an alternate dimension of Tokyo, completely deserted where their only means of survival is by playing various different death games.
Alice in Borderland Season 1: Who’s in the Cast?
As announced by Anime News Network, only two cast members have been announced as of now. Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya will be playing Alice and Yuzuha Usagi respectively, the two lead protagonists. This will surely be a treat for the fans of the fantasy drama film Orange, seeing the two actors reunite on-screen once again.
Alice in Borderland Season 1 is going to be directed by Shinksuke Satō. This increases expectations because of the hit of the director’s previous live-action adaptation on Netflix- Bleach.
