Summary Alice in Borderland (TV series)Alice in Borderland is a Japanese science fiction suspense-thriller drama streaming television series based on the manga of the same name by Haro Aso. The series premiered on Netflix on December 10, 2020, where it was met with positive reviews from viewers and critics. Two weeks after the first season was released, Netflix renewed the series for a second season. Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya will star as the main characters of the series, with the pair appearing as Ryōhei Arisu and Yuzuha Usagi, respectively. Filming for the series began as early as August 2019, when Yamazaki was spotted during filming in Dōgenzaka, a district of Shibuya on August 8. During filming, scenes focusing on the empty city of Tokyo were primarily shot using special effects and extensive uses of green screens. The music was composed entirely by Yutaka Yamada, who had previously worked with Sato on Bleach and Bleach Kingdom’s 2019 and 2019’s Bleach Kingdom.

The final episode was produced by Academy Award winner Erik-Jan de Boer, who supervised the production of the tiger featured in episode 5, which was created by Anibrain, an animation studio in India. It was directed by Shinsuke Sato, with Yoshiki Watabe, Yasuko Kuramitsu, and Sato writing the show’s scripts. The show’s script was revised to match the building layout of the set, with a number of scenes filmed using mainly green screens, with everything but the road and the ticket gate at the east entrance produced with computer graphics. A scene in episode 4, which showed an underpass being flooded with water, was created with the help of previsualizations, which allowed the crew to experiment with different elements before the actual shoot.
