Alice in Borderland and Squid Game
I haven't watched any series in a long time, but I needed something to distract myself with. I'm not in the mood to play the expansion right now, I'm tired of the recent Minecraft, and I don't have the energy for anything productive, so I decided to watch something interesting. Anime, strangely enough, I also don't feel like watching anymore (except for rare cases like the recent movie about Chainsaw Man).
I don't remember where I heard about Alice, but Squid Game came to mind on its own due to its popularity after I finished watching it. The first is a Japanese production, and the second is Korean. Both are based on survival games in which a certain number of people have to play. However, if you try to compare them, the only advantage of the Japanese series is the voice acting, which I can understand by ear, unlike the Korean one. Otherwise, Squid Game wins on all fronts. If its plot is interesting from the beginning to the end (it makes you think), and the characters evoke a wide range of emotions, then in Alice, somewhere after the third episode of the first season, it starts to become depressing, which you can watch, but it's more like chewing gum. Speaking of characters, both had "transitional characters," which is probably not surprising considering it's 2025 and Western money is involved in the production, but again, if in Squid Game this was a quite authentic and generally pleasant character, then in Alice it was just a quota-based token.
