7:16 I actually thought the same thing when I first watched this a year ago. Turns out they filmed this on empty land in the middle of nowhere, built an entire set made to look *exactly* like the Shibuya intersection, then surrounded the set with blue screens so they could use CGI to extend the physical streets they created, and add extra buildings to make it look more like the real deal.

I'm so glad this show is getting the recognition that it deserves. Squid game is a good show but very predictable for me. However, this show is more complex, the games are waaay more interesting and the mystery is more intriguing imo.

[@Rakerong]

Squid Game focused a lot on the characterizations. We felt for almost every character in some way, shape or form. Alice in Borderland gets to go a little further by not being grounded in reality and so they can build up the suspense and mystery, but I admit I didn't really care much for a lot of the characters when compared to Squid Game. Kinda felt like an anime, I don't like the main cast but they got some cool side characters.

[@thatoneguy9816]

This show was far more predictable. From the light bulb, to the bus, to the wolf game, to the end with the murderer. Shit was easy.

[@critioz4722]

Correct

[@darryljack6612]

@@zachb5433 For me (imo) I would say that AIB is more emotional, mainly because Squid Game both in terms of episodes and in terms of the show itself all happens a bit too fast. And ultimately you know there can only be one winner, so you dont really get too attached, despite how good the characters are. With AIB there's no telling what f-ing direction it would lead in to, what characters will or wont die, and what characters will truly make it to the end of the show. So (again imo) you are more emotionally invested because of the unpredictability of it all.

I'm not a big manga reader, but the manga for this is *insanely* good. Emotional, gripping, thought-provoking-and for me the execution of some of the side-games made a deeper impact by not featuring the main characters, but side characters instead. The Netflix show is great too, but the manga is a significantly richer experience, you'd be doing yourself an injustice to miss out on.
