Summary In Wonderland Sana was born and was given a body to roam the world in. But that wasnt all she was given. She was also given the power to create things based off her imagination. A power which eventually didnt remain hers alone but spread. Naturally as government and agencies invested in combat caught wind they began to snap up these beings. Even try to make some of their own. Which is what the first 5 episodes are about. The battle over controlling what are known as Dreams of Alice users. However starting episode 6 it is about Sanas life with her foster family. Her what I guess can be called foster dad Zoroku is a florist. His granddaughter who watches Sana often and has a hand in raising her is Sanae. Together they provide Sanas first taste of normalcy and what it is like to be in a family. Chores and all. Highlights Sanas Relationships Im a bit of a softee. So to have us meet this young child probably around 10 walking around in a raggedy looking hospital gown got to me. Especially when this old man nurtures her and takes care of her like she is his own. Then on top of that you got Sanae which treats her like her cute and nave little sister. Someone she wants to share everything she has learned partly to see her reaction. To perhaps relive her own reaction to things. And while it isnt a huge focus in the grand scheme of things her relationship with Yonaga and Asashi was beautiful too. They gave her the platform of what it means to be human to have friends and you can tell the separation from them as Sana often says Frazzled her. Minnie C As noted in the summary the show in the first 5 episodes is a completely different program from the 7 which follow. In the first 5 there is this place called The Facility there are battles villains and one noteworthy woman known as Minnie C. She to maintain control and retrieve Sana for the facility shot her. A grown ass woman shot what essentially is a child in order to keep her dream of maybe being in her husbands arms again. But that isnt the only thing Minnie C brought. She also had epic battles with Ichijo who works for a special program within the Japanese government. The kind where if Ichijo was a bad guy and not someone who supported the rights of Dreams of Alice users Sana wouldnt have a chance. Low Points It Drops The Ball After Episode 5 When you see those two be ready for this show to become a real bore. Starting episode 6 things become very slice of life. Sana gets into a routine Zoroku requires of her which means getting the paper watering plants and things of that nature. Which is fine at first. You consider if the calm before the storm. However when the would be storm happens it is some new Dreams of Alice user freezing people and this making Sana frazzled. It isnt the members of the facility having a resurgence or their sponsors which include foreign governments. Nope it is a child barely older than Sana becoming some watered down villain. One in which following Minnie C was such a disappointment. Not just because she isnt evil but she also felt unnecessary. I mean to me if they were going to present peace and no new villain why not focus on all the Dreams of Alice users we met? Why not dive deeper into the dark past of the twins Yonaga and Asashi who apparently killed their father? Why not tell us what the hell happened to the grey haired boy? Why instead introduce two new characters when there were a few who we barely truly got to know? On The Fence Establishing Normalcy As noted establishing normalcy on this show became a doubleedged sword. On one hand it showed what Ichijo was fighting for on behalf of Sana and the twins. However on the other hand after episode 5 normalcy became the bain of this show. It was like getting to eat the meat have your dessert and then be forced to eat the vegetables. Of which you take your time move them around the gravy or meat juices to make them edible then force yourself to swallow. Overall: Mixed Stick Around Id recommend watching just the first 5 episodes. The way this series is made you can end episode 5 and itll feel like a natural season finale. Going past that is like watching 7 OVAs which are completely unnecessary. Well outside of maybe episodes 6 7 in which Sana and the twins reunite and Sana becomes a member of Zorokus family officially. As for the rest? They really destroy that positive feeling the first 5 episodes may give you. Hence the Mixed label for this is one of the rare shows for me anyway which starts off strong and consistent but then completely falls off. Which if you read each episodes review I try to be optimistic about but once Hatori and her friend come in reality hits. Goodbye rose colored glasses. Someone just tell me how many more episodes I have to go.
