I enjoyed filming the show very much and look forward to the final production”, adding Tsuchiya, “Each shot has big set pieces, like explosions.

About  Alice in Borderland:

To return to their real-world, Arisu (Kento Yamazaki) and Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya) are chasing the mystery of “Borderland.” At a location that appears to be the key to unlocking the enigma, they encounter their friends, foes, and the mastermind behind the “game.” For each “game” they win, Arisu and his friends gather all the numbered playing cards they can. Only the Jack, Queen, and King cards are left. Arisu and his friends take on the new “game,” which is more challenging and expansive than the previous one. Will they be able to return to their real-world once they have acquired all of the cards?
