Heart no Kuni no Alice: Wonderful Wonder World

The girly but bloody otome game re-imagining of Lewis Carroll's classic fantasy novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with bishounen characters and added romance.

A parody of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland where Alice is smart and non-doormatlike.

In this story, Alice is not all what she seems. She is practical, strong, yet darkly cynical. Instead of the tradition story, Alice is kidnapped unwillingly by a mysterious (yet somewhat bishie-looking) man with bunny ears into a place call Heartland. Stuck in Heartland due to a trick by the mysterious bunny eared man, she meets the residents of this world. Along the way, Alice meets Blood, handsome mafia leader; Ace, the psycho yet charming knight and more... What should Alice do in such a world!?

The overall storyline was good, but I believe that it could had more to it than it did. Even though it kept true, to the manga series, I feel like this could have done better as an anime. That way, it would provide more in depth story telling, and expand more on each of the characters, such as Blood and Boris. Overall, I enjoyed it but like already mentioned, it could have been much more. Unlike the manga, it skips too much in between each scene. One minute you find Alice with Peter Rabbit, the next minute she's with Blood or someone else. It has ... so much more of a potential, to do better, if it was split into series, like the manga did. None the less, if you're a fan of the Alice series, it's still worth watching.

Mixed Feelings

I’m an anime-only watcher and enjoyed the movie quite much. The last scene with the “reveal” to one of the movie’s mysteries kinda spoiled the ending for me, though. Besides that and the imo ugly character designs, I have no major complaints, however.

The main issue I gathered from the other reviews, that being the story structure, was actually a positive for me. Isn’t it kind of the point of Alice inspired media that nothing makes sense? That’s how I see it anyway. Therefore, I didn’t mind story elements lacking an introduction or explanation, plot threads leading seemingly nowhere, etc. They augmented the madness and nonsense ... of it all, I think.

This story structure, where time and place changes constantly, (new) characters come and go, and you don’t know what’s going on most of the time, was one of two aspects that reminded me very strongly of the two original books by Carroll. The other one was the characters’ hostile, harmful, or inconsiderate behaviour towards Alice. To me, both these aspects are the main reasons the Alice books are so unique.

In that sense, I think most people who like the books/stories for the same reasons as me are going to have an enjoyable time with this movie. That being said, the aforementioned “reveal” at the end really puts a damper on things, at least for me. It’s possible that you won’t mind it at all, that to you, it’s just going to be another plot thread we don’t see the conclusion of. I didn’t like it because it was aiming to lead the story into a specific direction, to turn it into kind of a conspiracy narrative, and since I’ve appreciated the chaotic aimlessness of the story so far, that was obviously a problem for me.

Um.. Where to begin other than I made it about 30 mins into the movie before I decided to drop it. There was no plot. The scenes looked like someone in editing decided to add cool effects, cool pictures, and random parts they animated together. It literally jumps from a scene with her sister to a scene with her running away with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb. There's never context (in the part with her sister, she tells her “you wanna play a board game…A card game? I’ll go fetch something” As Alice tells her AFTER SHE RUNS AWAY “No I don’t want to ... play any games”) What seems to be the first scene is like 25 mins in. It is definitely a mess. Looks like the scenes got misplaced (I was questioning if I was even watching the correct thing). The characters were designed really well & voice cast well. Tbh I think this would do good as an Anime much better compared to the movie, maybe oneday someone/some company will revisit this.

Top 12 Anime Queens List

Some queens are benevolent while others are malicious and they tend to rule in the absence of a king. Even when a king is present, sometimes the queen can be the true power behind the throne. Whatever the case, any queen worth her merit is a powerful mix of beauty, power, and resolve.
