Born supernatural, extraordinary? This is what Alice Academy is all about, educating young children with born super power. To develop and endow knowledge to make use of their powers wisely.
Alice Academy a.k.a. Gakuen Alice
From L-R: Hotaru, Mikan, Natsume and Ruka
Storyline:
Basically, this anime is about a girl named Mikan Sakura, a naive and stubborn 10 years old nursery student. Mikan was devastated after knowing that her best friend, Hotaru Imai, transfers to study at the strange and forbidding Alice Academy in Tokyo. After hearing horrible rumors of what happens in the Academy, and her anguish at being left behind, Mikan runs away from home to seek out her dear friend, and finds that the school Hotaru transferred to, Alice Academy, is specifically for children who each have a special power called an "Alice". To Mikan's surprise, a teacher at Alice Academy, Narumi, discovers that she too has a unique Alice, leading to her admission into the school.
During her first day in the academy, Mikan was disliked by her classmates knowing the facts that she was brought into the academy by Narumi without proving she has special ability. Worst come to worst she does not know her powers and she accepted a challenge and was dared to walk through the dark forest to test her powers. In the process of her task, she discovered her power and was officially accepted by the academy.
The story is primarily focused on Mikan and her experiences at the Academy, from the everyday bore of classes and exams, to the unexpected clashes with the Anti-Alice Organization (AAO). Despite her initial view of the so-called greatness of the school, Mikan slowly finds out that beneath the grand facade of the Academy lies a never ending stream of lies and deception. Also, Mikan meets a boy named Natsume Hyuga, whom she initially ''hates'' from the very start of the story, but would eventually start to like. And in turn he begins to form an interest in her.
Mikan's naive behaviour, which she often act without thinking caught herself in various risk and trouble, but whatever she did was for her friends sake.
Along with the many friends she comes to make, including Natsume's best friend, Ruka Nogi, and the class representative, Yu Tobita a.k.a. Iincho, Mikan comes to love the Academy and its teachers despite the truth that is built upon half-truths and lies. The story is primarily showing how if you believe in something it will happen and in the case of Mikan she changes the harsh world of the Academy for the better.
Alice Academy has a total of 26 episodes. In fact it's most unlikely that there is season 2 for this anime for a certain reasons. As the story in manga is way ahead than the anime, it's much advice to all dearest Alice fans, support the manga if you're looking forward to the story.
Medias:
Opening theme - Pikapika no Taiyou by Kana Ueda
Closing theme - Shiawase no Niji by Kana Ueda and Rie Kugimiya
My End Verdict:
A world of enchanment and laughter and going on a fantastic adventure on a forbidden campus is somthing simply unique!
Rating: 4.5/5
Be safe and take care =)
