Alice to Zouroku: Season 1 – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)
Alice to Zouroku starts off strong, but then it becomes a slice of life kind of show. One which just so happens to feature some low-key sci-fi elements.
Alice to Zouroku starts off strong, but then it becomes a slice of life kind of show. One which just so happens to feature some low-key sci-fi elements.
Though Alice to Zouroku’s finale is as boring as the last few episodes, the ending has a sweetness to it. Especially the final moments which may bring you to tears.
With a reminder that children have feelings and perhaps how Sana came to be, the penultimate episode of Alice to Zouroku leaves you without excitement for the finale.
As Sana tries to teach Hatori a lesson, Hatori makes Sana’s magic cancel out. Which leads to consequences which affect them in wonderland but especially the real world.
Alice to Zouroku finally tries to balance its pursuit of being a slice of life anime by establishing a new villain. Just not like the kind we saw earlier in the season.
At this point, it is becoming hard to justify the inactivity of the show. For even with a new Dreams of Alice user being introduced, I find myself being pushed toward sleep.
As Sana experiences emotions, we get some background on the twins’ past and their present conditions.
Alice to Zorouku returns to being a very slice of life type of show as Sana learns what it means to be a family, gets a haircut, and gets lost.
If you didn’t know better, you would surely think this episode was the season finale.
As the show reveals what Sana is, it becomes clear that Zouroku couldn’t care less. For now, she is family.
After a rather tame 2nd episode, Sana faces the members of the facility who want their experiment back.
This episode is dedicated to fully understanding how alone Sana was and how much she has to get acclimated to the normal world. Alongside that, we meet Zoroku’s granddaughter who takes care of Sana for the day.
With a focus on a relationship between a child who was abused and experimented on her whole life and an old man who is likely to teach her what love and affection is, we may need to prepare for a tear jerker which has just a taste of action.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
