Why does Japan have such a hard-on for Alice in Wonderland and referencing it?
>>133573567
Because Karen is a shit who ruins entire episodes.
>>133573567
blond mahou loli
Because she's cute as shit.
>>133573983
Scans where?
little girls
>>133573567
Probably because it has a cat and a fucktonne of weird shit.
>>133573567
All these newfags don't know about the porno
Are we ever getting a full-blown adaptation of Alice in Wonderland by SHAFT? I mean, imagine the possibilities.
>>133573567
Because Lewis Carroll was a pedo.
Cute girl, weird shit and frilly dresses.
>>133574563
>Are we ever getting a full-blown adaptation of Alice in Wonderland by SHAFT? I mean, imagine the possibilities.
I'd need more drugs.In a good way.
>>133574310
I don't know.
>>133573567
The fact that lots of fun can simply be had with the Wonderland setting aside, it's because taking an adorable little girl and putting hr into a position where she's confused and in just a little bit of danger is not only cute, but also slightly arousing.
>>133575442
Do it for her.
>>133573567
I believe it was the first exposure for the masses to the blonde loli archetype and that's the reason why you see many blonde character named Alice.
Elites already came to know loli with Nabokov's Lolita novel.
>>133574310
An anon said he was going to scan it months ago.
Alternatively you can buy it, it's 16€ here.
>>133574621
>For those who wish to map the contours of the don's desires, both his public, and more especially his voluminous private, writings provide acres and acres of relevant territory. Letter after letter, journal upon journal, dedicatory poem and book inscription bear witness to Carroll's ceaseless pursuit of juvenile feminine company. ... Is it innocent? Is it sexual? -Robson, C., Men in Wonderland: The Lost Girlhood of the Victorian Gentlemen
>We cannot know to what extent sexual urges lay behind Charles's preference for drawing and photographing children in the nude. He contended the preference was entirely aesthetic. But given his emotional attachment to children as well as his aesthetic appreciation of their forms, his assertion that his interest was strictly artistic is naïve. He probably felt more than he dared acknowledge, even to himself. -Cohen, M., Lewis Carroll: A Biography
The original cute not pedo.
>>133576085
Of course I can fucking buy it, the point is to get it without paying and without having to look the postman in the eye when he delivers "the classic of literature".
>>133577363
Why would the postman know what is inside your package?
>>133575500
So in short everyone gets a hard-on for seeing Alice run around being cute and in danger?
>>133576292
>Is it sexually innocent? Is it innocently sexual?
hehe.
>>133575442
please anon
>>133576085
>Elites already came to know loli with Nabokov's Lolita novel.
Pretty sure Alice in Wonderland predates Lolita by decades.
Even with her original oversized head, she was always more moe than Dorothy or Wendy.
>>133577957
You're right, sorry, I was thinking about the movie who was released much later.
>>133573567
They're being westaboos. They're just trying to look worldly and stuff.
Because loli.
>>133575753
>>133577908
too bad this old scanner broke on me.
Post Alice.
References to her are fine, too.

It's like ten dollars at B&N just go grab it.
Can I post alice madness.

She makes for such a nice color palette.
>>133579766
It's fine, that one's also cute.
>>133577363
>postman
You mean Customs Inspection.
>>133573567
There is a cute girl in the story
>>133573567
Because it's only Japan right?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_based_on_Alice_in_Wonderland
Only Bible beats Alice in Wonderland.
I want Heart-chan to step on me.
Best Alice coming right through.
>>133573567
>He doesn't' like Alice in Wonderland.
Anon pls. I'm not even into lolis and moeshit,I don't even have a fucking husbando, but I love that story. Fix your shit taste, anon. Fix it now.
>>133580330
I never said I didn't like it, though. In fact, I'd say it's quite the opposite.
>>133580283
What kind of drink is that?
>>133573567
They don't, pretty sure it's just they the way she was depicted in that illustrated version of the novel (released this year (?)) cute so pixiv users have been doing fan art of her. Not sure if they care for the story itself so much.
>>133580400
Oh, then all is good now.
Little girls having wacky adventures in wierd places its a staple in western literature.
Alice, Dorothy, Wendy,Lolita. It's the western equivalece to mahou shoujo.
Btw, which one is best girl?
Alice or Dorothy?
>>133580587
Alice, no doubt. She remind me of myself when I was a tiny ant. Good times.
>>133580587
Dorothy is shit.
>>133580587
Its true, Japs eat that stuff right up. Every year tons of them travel to the mythical land of Prince Edward Island to get married there.
>>133580450
A lot of lolita dresses released in the early 2000s were Alice themed, so I don't think it's a new thing.
>>133580950
There's an entire brand based on/inspired from Alice in Wonderland, Alice and the Pirates
>>133580413
Probably one of her concoctions so she can drug Marisa.
It is rape waiting to happen.
>cute girl doing weird things
Its as close to Otaku pandering bullshit as they get.
>>133581993
What's in it? Does it taste good?
>there was a time when all girls dressed like lolis
>>133582421
fuck.
>>133581987
Where's the blond hair?
>>133574310
Sometimes publishers use anime artwork on book covers. It's just the book itself, but they use the artwork to get people interested.
>>133583882
there are illustrations inside too.
>>133583765
Well, she's a Japanese girl called Arisu who was a fan of Alice, rather than actually Alice.
>>133584633
Fair enough. I don't know if the dress she wore allowed clear pantyshots like that, though.
>>133580587
>It's the western equivalece to mahou shoujo
Ive never looked at it this way before
>>133585678
>Cute little girl
>In danger but not realy
>Villains are kinda dumb/silly
>Cute dress
>Cute pet sidekick
The coincidences are uncanny
>>133585678
Growing up as a fan of Oz and Alice in Wonderland I made that realization long ago when CLAMP was making Alice references in CCS.
>>133579766
>>133580873
Any Alice that's tries not to be like Disney's Alice is fine in my book.
>>133583882
>It's just the book itself, but they use the artwork to get people interested.
why are you even talking when you don't actually know anything
>>133585806
>>133585857
well now I feel dumb as hell since Ive read all 10 some Oz books and wrote papers in college on Carroll. And Magical Girl is my favorite genre of anime.
It all makes sense now.
>>133585806
Can you really say she wasn't in danger with that whole beheading thing?
Although, you could argue that it was all a dream.
Whats not to love
>>133585858:^)
>>133587996
If you see the flashback, she wears an almost exact replica of the Disney dress.
>>133573567
Cute loli.
>>133587996
Shit movie.
>>133588152
I enjoyed the performance by the actress, at least, even if the film itself wasn't great
Fucking Johnny Depp getting too much screen-time as per usual
>>133579641
>queens blade
now there's like 3 Alices in there
>>133588245
tim burton has a boner for johnny depp as blomkamp is to sharlto copley.
>>133574563
I would actually watch something made by SHAFT.
>>133588306
Along with shoehorning Helena Bonham Carter into almost everything he made since she was his partner.
