Synopsis

After transferring to Ishinomori Middle School, Tetsuko "Alice" Arisugawa overhears her classmates discussing a strange rumor. The previous occupant of her seat, a nondescript "Judas," is missing and presumed murdered—poisoned by one of his four wives. Amidst dealing with her mother's undesired meddling in her affairs and warding off her classmates' bullying, the troubled Alice starts to investigate the mystery surrounding Judas' disappearance.

The trail of clues leads her to the house of her next-door neighbor, the quirky and reclusive Hana Arai. After an awkward introduction, Hana agrees to help Alice and formulates a plan that may lead them to the answers they seek. The two girls embark on a journey to uncover what happened to Judas, and perhaps a friendship may start to blossom between the two along the way.

Hana and Alice isn't a great work in terms of animation, looking jarring at times, but it literally makes up for it so much for what else it has, basically just the atmosphere. It's just something really unique for anime, something about how it's presented doesn't feel like it's animated at times (which for context, this is the prequel to a live-action film, so it sort of does make sense). The characters are really just fun to watch, it kind of just feels more real, I couldn't get tired of anything in this movie. There's quite a decent section of this film of Alice eating ...

Mixed Feelings
The animated prequel to the 2004 Japanese film, Hana and Alice, never got much buzz around the anime community to the point that I'm surprised it ever got subbed at all. And even then, the subs flew past my attention given how it came out around the ending weeks of the last summer season and I spent nearly four months ignorant of its existence. I checked my MAL friends' stats and neither of them have seen it either (well one guy did, but you don't know him). Since I enjoy dabbling in the obscure from time to time, especially given this film's pedigree, I figured ...

Hello to you poor people who came here expecting rotoscoping as good as that of Aku no Hana's, because I'm about to crush your expectations and shove them right down your raw throats where they'll never surface again, because I want to save you. I NEED to save you, from ever experiencing this terrible tragedy that killed possibly hundreds of thousands of eyes, that flat-out snatched them eyes away, crushed them, put them in a motherfucking blender, turned that blender on, poured the results into a mug, microwaved that mug for 3 minutes, and finally threw the mug out from the top of a 13-story ...
