I have got to hand it to this anime. And by that I mean literally give it my hand because I'm afraid they're going to cut it off like they did the rest of the characters in this show. All joking aside, let's talk about the Wonderland.
I feel this anime could have had the potential to evolve into a burgeoning 48 episode Shounen or something, but it's unfortunately just the main 12 episodes and a single backstory episode on one of the characters. Even without reading the manga, I could tell that some severely important details were left out that really just leads to a

If any anime is blatant about telling you to stop whining about how much your life sucks, this would be the winner of them all. I won't spoil anything for those of you who haven't seen it yet, but the grand culmination is one that brings with it the potential to drown you in your own happy tears.
