| It came from the original plan of the light novel that Okada Mari planned to write an unrelated light novel to the anime. It's a story about a wolf girl, a human girl who was said to have been raised by wolves, who looks like a wild animal whose identity is unknown, and a girl who looks like a wolf boy who lives in the city and tells lies. And the name of the duo were Alice and Therese. https://ddnavi.com/interview/1160390/a/ |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Haven't watched it at all, but if you write it in Japanese, Alice and Therese (which becomes アリスとテレス Arisu to Teresu) is the same as Aristoteles (アリストテレス Arisutoteresu), the original Greek name of (and Japanese name for) philosopher Aristotle. |

They do quote the line 'hope is a waking dream' in the movie which is historically (though incorrectly) attributed to Aristotle so maybe this meaning for the title does have some merit. Actually having read the article linked by AkeZZZ turns out Okada herself confirmed it is named after Aristotle, with the original novel having a girl who mistook Aristotle for two people: Alice and Teresu. My only confusion now is why this was kept as the title even after all of the other story elements were changed. |
