Honestly, when I heard that there would be a second season for alice in borderland, I had mixed feelings. I hate Netflix for giving up on so many series after one season, so I was quite surprised and glad that they would keep going for a second season. But at the same time, having read the manga, I knew that just one season to pack everything that happens in the manga wouldn't be enough.
So, years later (they really took their time....), here we are with the finale season.... It is not bad, especially for people who haven't read the manga.
BUT, if you've read and liked the manga, you'll be disappointed with such a short season. It'd been so much better with twice the episodes.
There's plenty of new characters introduced in the manga, and their arc are quite interesting. Here in the TV series, some are introduced but they don't play the same parts at all and that's quite disappointing... Also, they have drastically changed some parts to fit all in 8 episodes, but in doing so, they've changed the tone and the atmosphere of the manga. The end felt really rushed.
Please, read the manga, it's way, way, way better.
Also, if you like this genre, you can try Gantz and As the Gods will.
