10 Shows Similar to Alice in Borderland You Must See
The Netflix
survival action thriller series "Alice in Borderland" was created
from the same-named manga series by Haro Aso. It depicts the tale
of a group of people who are compelled to play progressively deadlier games in
order to survive after becoming stranded in a bizarre and deserted version of
Tokyo. Four suits of cards stand in for the four different game kinds. Hearts
signify for psychological, clubs for collaboration, diamonds for intelligence,
and spades for the physical. The card's number indicates the level of
difficulty, the greater the number, the riskier the game.
If the first season focuses on the number cards, season
two moves the emphasis to the face cards. While this is happening, the main
character Ryohei Arisu (Kento Yamazaki) and his friends and allies work to
overcome every obstacle in order to return to their previous reality. If you
enjoyed "Alice in Borderland," here are some suggestions that could
be to your liking. The majority of these programs, which are comparable to "Alice
in Borderland," are available on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or HBO Max.
10. Darwin's Game
The television program "Darwin's Game" may be the one on our list that most closely resembles "Alice in Borderland." When Sud Kaname (Ysuke Kobayashi) receives a mystery invitation to play an online game, he stops being your typical high school student. Kaname finds himself caught up in a real-life struggle to the death when he starts the game and a snake leaps out from inside. Each participant in the game is given a "Sigil," a kind of ability that serves as their sole chance of survival.
A recurring theme in both programs is the idea of interactive games. The main character of "Alice in Borderland" applies his screen-based skills to real life: Arisu, who developed his competitive skills on numerous computer games, now participates in real-life gameplay and its repercussions. In addition to being in comparable situations, Arisu and Kaname are similar enough to one other to be brothers from different realities. Both are Masters of Strategic thinking, but instead of using their advantage to hurt their rivals, they choose to aid them wherever possible.
9. Re: Mind
Re: Mind, a Japanese television series, is bold and complicated in its execution. The story centers on 11 high school students who awaken with their feet tied to the floor and sacks over their heads. They discover they are in an antique European-style room when the bags are taken off, and their captor appears to have a considerable limp. The girls start to vanish one by one as they strive to figure out what has happened to them. Much of the secrets in the episode are not disclosed until later in the series, just like in "Alice in Borderland." Re: Mind may not have as many action scenes as Alice in Borderland, but the show more than makes up for it with its psychological thriller elements.
8. Sweet Home
The South Korean television series "Sweet Home" was created from the Kim Kan-bi and Hwang Young-chan webtoon of the same name from 2017. The protagonists of the novel are the residents of the Green Home apartment complex, who find that everything around them has suddenly become horrific and that people are turning into monsters. Although these creatures play a significant role in the story, the primary focus of "Sweet Home" is still on character relationships and how different characters, whether humans or monsters, respond to situations. Both "Sweet Home" and "Alice in Borderland" have a fantasy-based backstory. Both programs also have magnificent action scenes and expansive set pieces that do credit to the suspenseful story.
6. The Purge
The Purge is a franchise that includes the anthology
series by James DeMonaco of the same name. The story is set in an alternative
America under the rule of a totalitarian regime. Similar to the movies, the
government permits a 12-hour purge every year during which all crimes are
permissible. The first season centers on a number of personalities who don't
seem to be related to one another. These characters' paths will unavoidably
cross as the Purge night gets started. The James DeMonaco anthology series of
the same name is part of the The Purge franchise. The narrative takes place in
a totalitarian-ruled version of America. Every year, the government authorizes
a 12-hour purge during which all crimes are legal, just like in the movies. The
first season focuses on several characters that don't appear to be connected to
one another. The Purge night will unavoidably bring these characters' paths
together.
5. High-Rise Invasion
The lone anime on this list is "High-Rise
Invasion," which was adapted from a manga series by Takahiro Oba and
Tsuina Miura. Although there is an anime version of "Alice in
Borderland," it is an OVA that spans three episodes. Like the Netflix
series, "High-Rise Invasion" takes place in an urban setting in a
parallel universe. This is described in the anime as a "abnormal
area" that resembles a city full of skyscrapers connected by suspension
bridges only on the surface. When Yuri Honjou, a high school girl, comes there,
she learns that a bunch of masked men are after her and that she must either
escape or kill them. Soon after discovering that her brother Rika is also a
part of this weird universe, Yuri and Rika begin cooperating by exchanging
information.
4. Panic
Olivia Welch, Jessica Sula, and Mike Faist starred in
the brief-lived sitcom "Panic," which was developed by Lauren Oliver
from her 2014 book of the same name. The story revolves around 23 recent grads
competing in the annual Panic competition in the hopes of winning a $50,000
prize. "Panic," which is set in the fictitious Texas town of Carp, combines
many themes with "Alice in Borderland," such as despair, hope, and
the need to survive. Panic is a very risky game, same like the one in the
Japanese series. We are informed that two people lost their lives playing the
game the summer before.
3. Liar Game
An innocent young woman named Nan Do Chon (also known
as Nam Da Jung) battles rising debts in the South Korean television series
"Liar Game," which is based on the Japanese manga of the same name by
Shinobu Kaitan. She makes the decision to sign up for the titular reality
program, where competitors compete to win $10 billion, in the hopes of paying
them off. Do Chon links up with Cha Woo Jin, a great conman with the uncommon
ability to accurately tell when someone is lying to them, in order to assure
her triumph. Before being adapted for television, "Liar Game" and
"Alice in Borderland" were both manga series. Although "Alice in
Borderland" has a magical element that "Liar Game" does not,
they also share similar themes and genres.
2. As the Gods Will
As the Gods Will is most likely the current closest
thing to Alice in Borderland. Both have been turned into live-action movies but
neither presently has any anime. (Even though one is a drama series and the
other is a movie, is it similar enough?)
As the Gods Will also has a number of games that are
psychologically intense and life-threatening, similar to Alice in Borderland.
Shun Takahata, a regular student, is forced to participate in a series of
violent children's games where the consequence for losing is death, and he has
no choice but to keep winning in order to defend himself and his boyhood
friend. A troubled classmate is savoring the chance to have other classmates
killed in the meanwhile.
However, if you want to go on this adventure, be
prepared for a lot of blood.
1. Squid Game
'Squid Game' is a fun and action-packed series about a
survival game, similar to 'Alice in Borderland,' but with the Korean program,
the game master is very much human. The show centers on 456 individuals who
consent to participate in a number of kid-friendly games in the hopes of
winning $45.6 billion. Many people continue to play the games even after
learning of their lethal twists because they have no other option. Even while
"Squid Game" may appear to be just another survival program, it
stands out for its open examination of issues like classism, income inequality,
and the exploitation of the poor and marginalized.
