So many great series in this season yet people are still making 'end of anime' threads.
So beautiful, awesome characters (Zouroku grandpa of the year) soundtrack, art (besides QUALITY scenes) and direction. 9/10.
I will check the manga, definitely.

I'm a 3DCG nazi, but I didn't see it, it blended nicely with the rest imo. That car in the beginning was much more distracting :)

I liked the finale, very happy ending for the kids. Really, really grew to like Hatori in the last two episodes.

I actually speculated if this show would be my one of my favorites of the season and as I expected it turned out to be true! I loved it very much and it was super adorable ^^ I feel very satisfied with it so I don't feel like I need any more of it either. The op and ed were both fantastic as well and I'll definitely remember them. In my opinion, a great show indeed !!

Now in the end we see Sana as a grown-up, holding a bouquet of flowers signifying that Zoroku is dead and that she took over the flower-shop. Hopefully she lives a happy yuri life with Sanae since they are not related by blood. Also her voice as an adult is really calm and soothing, i really like it. Same could be said about Ichijo and her kouhai. Hopefully they lead a happy yrui life too.

Dam what a way to end the series. So I guess the last scenes did not happen as it still ongoing.

So it ends with grownup Sana and Zouroko is dead. Well that is sad, but still we knew he wasn't going to live that long. But it is going to be okay, Sana learned a lot and is a mature adult.

I wasn't 100% on Zouroku being dead. It makes sense....but Japanese people can also live pretty long and they DO work a flower shop so her holding a bunch of flowers for no real reason isn't out of the question. But yeah...most likely he dead. That said, I really liked the last scene. Was a nice touch to show "Adult" Sana. Looks like she turned out okay. At the same time, it makes me a little sad. Pretty much kills all hope I had for a S2. I want to see her grow up. Does the manga show more of what happens? Everywhere I look says "on going" so I assume the answer is yes.

Aaww the rabbit can help connect to the outside since it can transmit signal for the phone. But that surely really help Hatori for finally talk with Ayumu and finally find her. Plus the timing is just a few minutes late for Sanae and Zoroku to find Sana.
I really hope the twins will join Sana too. :(

I enjoyed this anime, ending was nice to watch as well. It reminded me, especially the last ep, with Wodenrland as a being semi-sentient "world", Stanislaw's Lem Solaris (with exception for Sana being in a way a tool for Wonderland to experience/observe the outside world).

Using "boku" and dressing in a male uniform could be tomboyish, however Ayumu is a boy's name. (Female form is usually Ayumi.) Then again, Hattori is also a male name, so maybe you're right...


It's clearly said in the special episode that Ayumu is a girl. (However even Zouroku's voice actor was surprised when it was mentionned, so you're not the only one).
Ah, thanks for the info. Which special episode was that? Apparently I didn't see it. I can't seem to find anything except eps 1-12.

Nice finale for such an extraordinary Anime. Zouroku gave Wonderland a good talk, Hattori was reunited with her parents, and society seems to start getting along with the "Dreams of Alice".

This Anime had lots of great things to it (not stopping at Zouroku's amazing character). But what really stuck out for me was the many facettes of the story which were contrasting but never felt out of place. For once, we had the fight of the supporters of equal and inclusive treatment of the "dreams of Alice". But instead of completely turning this into a copy of Elfen Lied, it was sensibly woven into the plot of Sana's life yourney and of the small tales of the people around her.

What I hoped for was a little more focus on Sanae, because she's so adorable, but well, you can't get everything.

The special aired in may 14th I think, it had an entry here, but it was deleted (don't ask why tho). Basically it was just zoroku seyuu and alice seyuu discussing about the show.

Good finale. It felt a little underwhelming that it's all over but it was a good story regardless. This series was much better than I expected and it had a lot of good slice of life episodes. I thought it was going to be more dark after what that crazy woman who shot Sana did but it never passed that point afterwards.

Adult Sana is cute! It was a nice way to end the series with her finally going to school and then showing a matured Sana holding flowers. I find it hilarious when they first met in Episode 4 that Sana practically called her future self flat chested.

7/10- This series was fun. I liked all the characters a lot and the story of Sana is fairly entertaining. I wish there was more of Ichijo though, she's pretty cool and I hope there's a spin-off of her somewhere down the line.

I wouldn't call Best anime of the season something that left unfinished a huge plothole out of convenience after the first arc, yet it was a good ride

Well that was quite a underwhelming way to conclude the series... Zouroku just had to shout to the heavens and threat a small rabbit to everything be hunky dory again...

But anyway, overall i still dont know how to feel about the series as a whole. There are defenetly some good drama and SoL moments but thats about it. There is really not much of a real focus in terms of story and the two arcs ended in a quite anticlimactic manner leaving more questions than actual answers. Hopefully a second season is announced to clarify some stuff.

Well that finale turned out better than I expected. I like the scenes where Sana finally receives her own backpack and school supplies because she will be going to school, and not only that, but Sana will also be going to school with Hatori and Ayumu as her new friends. Really like it. Could have been much better if the three of them were with the twins, too. Then the final scene with adult Sana who was talking with Zoroku, who is....probably gone in this world.. ;_; That last scene got me, though. x(

I could have given this an 8/10 for the nice conclusion, but the show felt a bit stale halfway in the series, at least for me.. So my final score is 7/10. It was a good anime overall.

Oh what a charming show came to the end... well here's my thought:

The intro was briliant which was more than time it usual aired. The entire series didn't rush in storytelling or felt like filler-ish at some part. However, I think episode 3-5 were to be really weak episodes and I start thinking as bad until as I kept watching the whole new arc from episode 6, it gradually changed alot in term of charmness and the show got very delightful!! The story telling was okay-ish but who cares for here? It was soo darn charm and pleasing to watch!!

I think there was possible to get another 13 episodes like this way if only it could got popular.

Anyway, 8.0/10 from me. It was really fun! and yeah I am sure that I can easily recommend to others! One of my decent show of this spring 2017 season or might end up my top anime of this season. Great.

This anime took a strange turn at the end I'd say in the last three episodes or so and it left the overall story in a state of mediocrity but the final episode used all the positives of the anime to create a heartwarming ending. What I'm trying to say is I liked the last episode but the story overall ended up being just alright. I wish the would have stuck with the darker theme of the first half of the season with the agency and experiments I thought that was a good path to take the anime but it ended up being just a little too fluffy for my taste. Overall I would say this anime is a 6/10 one of the animes this season that I enjoyed a fair amount but will probably end up being forgettable as time goes on. I don't anticipate there being any second season considering they wrapped it up so nicely at the end with the older Sana so I guess we'll just have to take this anime as is and enjoy it for what it was...a pretty decent anime.

Glad everyone got out of Wonderland safely. Ayu seeing Hattori again was sweet.
LOL Zouroko giving Wonderland a stern talking. This is the man you need when you want something done.

Sana going to school must be exciting. Sweet seeing Sana in the future.
Overall an enjoyable show with good slice of life elements.

Oh man, this show was truly the underdog of this season. The feels during the ending credit scene hit my heart like Zouroku's punch. The future, the adult Sana. Guessing Zouroku passed away.

okay you're right, i kinda forgot about the first part once the second one started, hopefully a bunch of shit just blows up in their face and things start being less cute, and more serious as sana grows up and realizes what is actually going on with her "powers"

Contrary to what most of the opinions are so far, I actually thought Alice & Zoruku was a bit of a let down.

I would have loved if the Dreams of Alice thing was explained even further, who and what is Sana, I was expecting more details on her. What are the extent of their powers? How did they get it? What/who is even Alice, why are people doing what they do. Everything felt like a teaser. Perhaps the show mixed in too much SoL moments, which were awesome in their own right, and forgot about the more interesting stuff. The phrase has been used over thousands of times but this is an anime that I believe had so much potential but the story just kind of went off the mark a bit. Thankfully, it wasn't a bad show, I just felt like it missed it's target by a slight margin.

To sum it up in one word, underwhelming. With all of it's great characters and interesting world, it just fell a little bit short. Maybe the director needs a bit of scolding or maybe I just went into this world with the wrong approach.

I'm torn with this show. I liked it, but then, I didn't like it this much. The plot was great, but the storyline and the way things progressed...it was kinda meh. Action, then moe stuff, then action again...I didn't particularly like this.

Also, I hadn't realised the ending was probably adult Sana after Zouroku's death, and now I'm sad THANKS

Zoroku... yelled at the world... and it listened. The power of grandpas are not to be underestimated. And it all ends pretty happily and we even get to see her as an adult so we know she lived happily for years to come. Must say, this anime did not, in any way live up to my expectations, still enjoyed it though. A bit annoying at times, but worth the watch. I'm gonna miss it.

Zoroku scolding Wonderland lol. This seemed like a finale but I felt that it built more hype as if another arc/season was coming but the last scene sort of gave away the ending for the entire series so I dunno(the scene was still great).

I'd like an s2 since I felt the series was too short for all the plot points and interesting characters it has. I'm slightly disappointed how they handled the pacing and plot.

P.S. Zouroku is my man.

6/10
